Geo field :: How to apply address automatically after user selects place in autocomplete box

Btw. The other grey button is to enter a location manually in case the name of a location is not properly saved. This might happen when someone enters an Island (eg Terschelling ) or a place that the Geo field can't save.

Somehow the Geo field still doesn't save all details of a location. In the example of 'Terschelling', the autocomplete box will suggest that location, but instead of 'Terschelling' only the state 'Friesland' is saved. For a complete check of what data exactly is available per location have a look at http://ubilabs.github.io/geocomplete/examples/form.html Interestingly the formatted address is always saved correctly, but until now I haven't been able to use this field in Cobalt.

Hey Jeff, do you think you can share this custom input template you created please ?

Jeff I would like a location to be automatically set after selecting a location from the autocomplete box. How can I accomplish this?

I am not sure what is your code, but this is how it works in goe field by default. On enter it selected location. Although there were little bug. Form was reloaded after press enter in the input, but I fixed that.

Jeff , but instead of 'Terschelling' only the state 'Friesland' is saved

Added some changes. You mean when you click address from marker, right?

Can I download the fixed version so I can test it?

Yes

I'll update Cobalt later today with number of changes.

Thank you, Sergey!

Hi Sergey,

1. I have updated Cobalt and the Geo field to the latest version. Unfortunately I still have to hit the Marker to address button to get all the address fields filled, so no change here.....

2. Entering 'Terschelling' adds the name to the state field. Good! But it is placed after the state 'Friesland' which is incorrect. It should be placed first. So 'Friesland, Terschelling' should be 'Terschelling, Friesland'.

Please try to enter 'Mvezo, South Africa', 'Mvezo' isn't recognised. Could you please verify that?

jimie Hey Jeff, do you think you can share this custom input template you created please ?

To show and hide the custom place field I'm using functionality that's included in Yootheme Warp's framework. Unless your template uses Warp, I'm not sure is usable to you. Once I can get rid of the Apply button, I'm more than happy to share it with you.

Hello Jeff,

Actually I'm using warp framewak too, I was always using it as I found at the time when I started with the only template framework which was not creating problems :)

This I did not change. yes you still have to click button. If you want to avoid it find function onPlaceChange and add there setAddress(place.address_components); right after if (place.geometry) { in geo/assets/geo.js.

Sergey, could you please include sublocalities into the state field?

Mvezo (South Africa) is a sublocality which can be found on Google Maps, but which isn't saved by the Geo field.

Wheer to add sublocalities? To which fields of address?

To state

Looks like it was passed to address already. Just changed to state.
