Locations Plugin

@merefield What are your thoughts about this requirement?

merefield · August 13, 2020, 7:58pm

Stefan apologies for not getting back to you. That’s a more practical consideration and quite a nice idea. I’ll consider it when I have some downtime. It won’t happen for a while though as have client work atm. Funding will always help to get stuff implemented/sooner.

Stefan_Fairphone · August 13, 2020, 9:05pm

No worries, I had thought it might have slipped through. Should I open a feature request somewhere?

merefield · August 13, 2020, 10:56pm

Sure, here: Feature Request

Stefan_Fairphone · August 14, 2020, 6:38am

Done! @everyone Please support this feature request!

merefield · August 24, 2020, 11:32am

I’ve released a significant performance fix that got rid of a duplicate call:

https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-locations/pull/52

So the User Map should become responsive much sooner.

PS thanks to @Richie for pointing out the scalability challenge and helping me with the testing.

Here’s his impressive User Map to prove you can get this working for over 500 people!:

Thanks for the continued development of the plugin @merefield

When I click on a marker on the map then the redirection raise an error in the browser console :

Outside of support period at moment but will take a look at next one.

Which map are you referring to - just tried the User map on a recent build and it works fine?

evantill · September 10, 2020, 8:21am

This is on a topic with a location.

merefield · September 15, 2020, 9:15am

New feature time!

Restricted search by country

I’ve added the ability to restrict search by the default country. This is default OFF.

Here is the new setting next to the existing related one:

This means your users, for example, will no-longer get addresses coming up in strange countries, if all they need is a single one, ie your site scope is country specific.

Credit to @Richie for proposing and funding this feature, thanks Rich!

(FYI this was stealth released a while back but not promoted)

Don · September 15, 2020, 9:57am

I really like this feature! Thank you!

One thing I don’t understand and no found any documentation for it. The location_user_profile_format.

I use location iq and it generate the addresses too long (street + city + county + state + country + postalcode). If I use the address format then I can restrict these parameters. Is that right?

So if I only want to display postalcode + city + street then I can do it with this setting?

I try to use the (address: number ) parameters but it doesn’t work for me. I think I am missed something It works great but too much unnecessary information in the addresses.

If you have time to add any instruction to set up this I really appreciate! Thank you!

Hi!
I’m trying this amazing plugin. Seems a very solid piece of work!

The purpose of my use if having trade locations displayed on a trading category.

I have several questions:

I checked location user avatar but my avatar isn’t displayed on the map. Am I missing something?
location map marker category color: is it possible to change the icon shape? When I choose a colored marker, it’s a bit too round for my taste, I like the default shape.
location user profile format: How do I find a list of geolocation attributes? I tried setting “address”, but the location field in the user preference was still plain text, with no location selector.
Is it possible to show the location under the topic name on the topic list? So the users will see at first glance where the sale is located (it’s quite important since it’s an international forum)
If I click on the marker, I have an error:

With this console output:

   _application-0839e21515af10c83cf59df7b5c45c2f8db9404f82c4186084346bb0a0a9b425.js:63408

I don’t have custom theme components and as for the plugins, I only use procourse installer, data explorer and discourse locations.

edit:
I managed to do the 4.:

By adding this code to the the template list/topic-liste-item.raw:

    {{~#if topic.location}}
      <div class="title-location">
        {{d-icon 'map-marker-alt'}} {{location-format topic.location opts}}{{location-label-container}}
      </div>
    {{~/if}}

Canapin · September 20, 2020, 4:51pm

Same issue here:

html code:

<h3 class="location-and-website">
              <div class="user-profile-location"><svg class="fa d-icon d-icon-map-marker-alt svg-icon svg-string" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><use xlink:href="#map-marker-alt"></use></svg> France</div>
                <div class="user-profile-website">
                  <svg class="fa d-icon d-icon-globe svg-icon svg-string" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><use xlink:href="#globe"></use></svg>
                    <a href="http://canapin.dev" rel="noopener " target="_blank">canapin.dev</a>
                </div>
              <span id="ember29" class="ember-view">  <div id="ember31" class="user-location-and-website-outlet replace-location ember-view"><!----><div class="user-profile-website">

</span>
            </h3>

I think this issue is because location and website in one class. After I start use users location map feature this fixed.

Zup · September 28, 2020, 8:18pm

instead of a ‘Show Map’ button at the top of a thread, i’d prefer the map be responsive and already maximized within the constraints of the thread’s content. has something like this been considered?

merefield · September 29, 2020, 10:16am

Sorry @Canapin for slowness in response

This is just for the User Map I believe.

The logic to define the shape is here: https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-locations/blob/b76f5c42401db9d30be3499408f913493f1cdcb7/assets/javascripts/discourse/lib/map-utilities.js.es6.

It might be a nice enhancement to allow this to be customised. PR accepted.

First turn this on:

Then there will be a new setting appearing in User Profile:

I wouldn’t worry at this stage about the more complex settings. Users just need to start typing and select the appropriate search result.

Well done for finding a solution

It has been reported before. I will have a look this soon.

merefield · September 29, 2020, 10:47am

Could you mock this up? I’m not clear on exactly what you mean?

Zup · September 29, 2020, 1:30pm

map size could be responsive (within layout of thread’s content) with optional height limit
positioned below address text, above thread’s content
no need ‘show map’ button

merefield · October 1, 2020, 8:03am

Nice idea. If this came with option to default to collapsed view I would welcome it. PR Welcome.
