[Resolved] Location disappears when trying to search y distance
This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
There was a UI glitch with Toolset maps which meant that in certain circumstances a location entered using the auto-fill could be immediately overwritten and lost.
Solution:
This has been fixed and updating Maps will resolve the issue.
This support ticket is created 6 years, 11 months ago. There's a good chance that you are reading advice that it now obsolete.
This is the technical support forum for Toolset - a suite of plugins for developing WordPress sites without writing PHP.
Everyone can read this forum, but only Toolset clients can post in it. Toolset support works 6 days per week, 19 hours per day.
I have checked the button for "Full page refresh when visitors click on the search button".
(See screenshot attached)
I have tried this on another test view and it seems to only work when I only have the location filter. If I add another filter for dates or my taxonomy options, then it doesn't work.
I tested again, this time including other filters in the search form, and I was able to reproduce the problem, which you can see in this screenshot.
I found it sometimes worked after the initial failed attempt, but that the problem was also visible whether the search form was in a separate widget or not.
I've escalated this so that it can be investigated further, and I'll report back when I have some news.
I checked the internal tickets and the issue was confirmed by the developers (it happens when the View filter form and View results are inserted separately) and a fix has been produced. It is currently undergoing testing along with several other bug fixes that will be included in a single Maps update.
I don't have a date for when that will be published, but I expect it to be soon. I'll raise it with the developers and if it looks like being delayed I'll ask them to produce a patch for this particular issue that you can use in the meantime.
