I am trying to: Create a search filter by distance

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

I expected to see: Results filtered by distance

Instead, I got: When I try and input a location, the location disappears, and when I click on search it says 'Please fill out this field'

Hi Gavin

It appears that you have inserted the search filters via a widget, is that correct?

You must update results via a page refresh with a submit button when you include the search form in a widget.

I checked that myself on a local test site and it worked as expected.

Can you update your View and re-test?

Hi Nigel

Thanks, but I do have the submit button there below the other filters?

The location clears before I can press submit

Hmm.. It seems to work if I only have a location filter, but if I add other filters on the same page, then the location clears before I can submit.

Hi Gavin

Sorry, the styling of the button meant I didn't notice it.

It still seems to me, though, that there is an ajax request submitted once the location has been chosen.

Can you double-check your View. It should update results via a page refresh, and not by ajax.

Hi Nigel

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.

OK, thanks for confirming.

Let me try and reproduce this on my local test site and I'll get back to you a little later...

Hi Gavin

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.

Thanks for your patience.

Hi Nigel

Any news on this?

[Nigel]

Hi Gavin

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.

Fantastic

Thanks for all your help

There is an erratum now:

Hi Gavin

The update came and went and I didn't notice this needed updating.

Hopefully you will have noticed the new Maps versions and have updated, but if not, updating to the latest version you should find this issue fixed.

If you find otherwise let me know.

Whoohooo

Thanks Nigel (and the rest of the team)

I've actually been too busy with other things to come back to this project since I contacted you guys about this. But I hope to get back to it soon.

Great news as my project really depended on this part working.
