If you are paying, yes :slight_smile:

This is an independent plugin, support is not free and I do not provide any guarantees - you use it at your own risk.

I could have easily not shared that at all, anywhere.

Link to support options.

This is now merged, thanks again to the sponsors @η₯εŒδΌŸ and @nathank :heart:

https://github.com/merefield/discourse-locations/pull/147

Extensive details on the PR.

@Roi I note you are not paying for support - however I believe I may have improved the code in this PR, please try that script I published again. If you need me to take a closer look, you can hire me.

@merefield not yet. :wink:

I just checked, the bad entry stayed with the new version as well.

But as it only was one user, I checked manually and he had a city in the β€œnormal” location field and I recreated the location field with this information. Now the query is empty.

Hey, I posted a bug report elsewhere and got redirected to repost it in this topic.

Turns out if you enable locations for a category and set the default view for the category to the Map navigating to that category results in a crash.

Here are some screenshots (pardon the localization, the words mean β€œAppearance: Default topic list: Hot, Latest, Top, Map):

Seems the plugin accesses siteSettings assuming it is defined when it isn’t

How do I hide location info from topic rows in the topic list?

1219

Hello：

  1. Features
    (1) Some users never post and skip setting a location in their profile, so even their user card gives nothing away. Could we grab their location the moment they log in?
    (2) Instead of a fixed interval, let us set our own refresh rateβ€”say, once every 12 hours.
    (3) For i18n, can we render the location in whichever language the viewer prefers?

  2. Bug
    When a topic is set to β€œuse user’s location,” the location comes back empty, yet the topic row still shows the location pin. Turning the pin off in the category settings does nothing; you have to open the topic, delete the blank location, and save before the icon finally disappears.

I have a display issue since the Discourse update.

I am on version 2026.2.0 latest

Here is what I have

Maybe there is a way to fix it with CSS

Thanks :grinning_face:

I had a look out of curiosity. Seems that the locations are inside a button, which CSS has changed in the modern foundation theme and constrains the content.
There may be a future incompatibility between locations and this theme, but the latter is still experimental, so we need to wait for the official release and see how it goes :slight_smile:

Maintenance release:

https://github.com/merefield/discourse-locations/pull/155

followed by fixes:

https://github.com/merefield/discourse-locations/pull/157

https://github.com/merefield/discourse-locations/pull/158

Highlights include:

  • you can now update people’s location automatically upon login (not just when they post) (@η₯εŒδΌŸ)
    • controlled by new setting DEFAULT OFF - so if you use this feature, set your preference now or Locations will stop updating users locations completely - necessary as style of setting was changed to accommodate the new feature.
  • Map can now once again be selected as default view for a Category (via Category Settings) (@Quacken)
  • Topic default location from user location works again. (@η₯εŒδΌŸ)

Plus a thousand modernisations to latest linting rules.

Is there any chance that we can have user-location page per group specifically?

So practically I can provide a list of group names, and for each of them, create a user map. In our use-case for example we were thinking to map users, NGOs, and/or Companies separately.

I mean, one can always put β€˜ngo_’ in front of the name/username and filter by that, but thats not really nice :blush:

If you’d like to provide some nominal sponsorship, sure I’d back that - DM me if you have budget.

Ok, going to make this a crowd funding effort

If I see an increase from current recurring monthly sponsorship from the community by at least $37 (I’m currently sponsored $43 a month by my existing kind sponsors) I will add the following:

User Map improvements:

  • group filter on map
    • For logged in users only, group list at least visible by all logged in users
    • ability to link to map for specific user group (same limit on choice of groups)
  • filter for number of max users shown (prioritising last seen) - performance win for user map if you have a lot of users who don’t visit anymore and prefer just active users.
  • apply default map view settings that currently applies only to topic map - so it always shows your area of interest.

One more monthly business sponsorship (>=$40) would clinch it straight away (SILVER tier)

I will also accept a one-time sponsorship from an individual for $150

Sponsor me here:

Note the rewards for higher levels.

Love the initiative (and your good work); I’ve popped in a monthly donation.

And those three features will be very helpful!

Appreciated @nathank, especially since you also contributed to the last initiative ! :clap:

Now we are down to a monthly $34 gap, progress! :chart_increasing:

I will also accept a one-time sponsorship from an individual for $150

I’ve received a one-off $50 contribution (thank you!) so I will lower this target to $100 :slight_smile:

Hello, how can I know if my version is the latest since the github repo doesn’t use any tag or release?

1232

Hello @merefield

I just updated Discourse and all the plugins.

  • The global user card is working fine.

  • But there’s a bug with the category map: they’re no longer displayed or generated.

Example:

A big THANK YOU for this plugin from France :face_blowing_a_kiss:

If you’d like to join others in becoming a monthly sponsor that would be appreciated and I will take a look.
