Autocomplete field powered by google map

[ousao]

Hi,

How can i have an Autocomplete field powered by google map?

Is this possible?

 

[cheesegrits]

The example you showed looks like this jQuery plugin:

https://github.com/ubilabs/geocomplete

... which would be possible to use, with some custom JS, and form plugin to load the additional javascript files required.

It's actually something I think would be useful to implement as an option for text fields, so I'd be prepared to split the cost of implementing it in Fabrik with you.

I don't know how to use this. I'm not really a developper...

 

[cheesegrits]

That's one of the reasons I offered to split the cost of development with you.

[ousao]

Perfect. Thank you

 

[cheesegrits]

Let me know if you are interested, I'll give you an estimate of the cost. The way we handle adding features for people which we think benefit Fabrik is that we only charge for 50% of the development time. In this case, I think that'd be about an hour of billable time.

I went ahead and added this as an autocomplete option on field elements.

Took about an hour. If you want to take out a sub as a contribution, that'd be cool. If not, just enjoy.

Updating from github will get you the new feature.

Hi,
I updated the field plugin only fom github and added a google map API but the geocomplete is not working??
Did I miss something?
Thank you

 

[cheesegrits]

Nope, you can't cherry pick updates from git, as changes in one file or commit often rely on changes in file elsewhere. Always upload everything, in "always overwrite" mode (don't use any "only overwrite if ..." options in your client).

In this case, it's not just the field plugin, there's changes in other files as well (like the main fabrik.js), and a new 3rd party library added to ./libs.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Cheers

I did the full update still nothing...

Are you seeing Geocomplete under the Auto Complete options, in the Advanced settings for your field element?

If so, when you try it on the front end, are you seeing any Javascript errors, if you open up either Chrome's dev tools, or Firebug in FF?

You may need to clear your cache to force the browser to pick up the new JS files.

[ousao]

Yes I can see the Geocomplete. I have no error on the front end. and cleaerd my cache.

 

[cheesegrits]

Can you point me at the page?

-- hugh

 

[ousao]

I sent you a private message with access and page

 

[cheesegrits]

Are you running some kind of security plugin?

Something is causing this URL ...

https://www.yoursite.com/components/com_fabrik/libs/googlemaps/geocomplete/jquery.geocomplete.js

... to redirect to your home page, instead of loading that JS library.

And btw, there are JS errors on loading that page. Not sure how you aren't seeing those with Chrome's dev tools? Under the "More tools" menu. Or Ctrl-shift-i. Brings up Chrome's debugger. You'll see a number of errors.

[ousao]

I have a plugin that redirect everything to SSL and another one that redirect missing pages to homepage.

How do I fix this then?

 

[cheesegrits]

Oooops, my bad, I forgot to push the new lib files to github.

They are there now ...

Hi Hugh (and Rob of Course)
Since mid 2012 I have been interested in this "concept"...smile,
