@revant_one thanks so much for the help I will look into it

Hi @revant_one

Trust you’re doing great and thanks again for all the great work in the community. This no longer works as stated above in V12. Could you pls suggest if there’s a way to restore this behaviour for V12 instances?

Kind regards,

22

I am not able to fix the issue with the plugin

same thing happening here https://www.openstreetmap.org/ for me (from pc chromium)

It is working on my android chrome 80.0.3987.99
it is working on my laptop chrome 80.0.3987.106

Hi @revant_one

But it works fine in V11! Tested it again… it defaults to current location but in V12 you have to click on the location button. This is strange

Is there any way to automatically trigger the location button with a custom script (preferably client-side)?

Kind regards,

24

Hi @revant_one

Any suggestion on triggering the location button via custom script pls?

25

try if this works

frm.get_field("geolocation_fieldname").locate_control.start()
26

Hi @revant_one

This seems to work just fine using the ‘onload_post_render’ trigger. Thanks a great deal!

Kind regards,

28

On the contrary, seems the fix you pushed just shipped with last Thursday’s release (even though it wasn’t mentioned in the release notes). It appears the map layers are now working again… at least on some platforms

Cheers

Hi @revant_one

Is there any standard way to get nearest address from the geolocation field? I would really appreciate any pointers or suggestions

Thanks

30

Nothing that I’ve used personally.

Search for “LeafletJS find nearest”

Hi @revant_one

Based on your suggestion I found the following leaflet plugin:

Would however need assistance in getting this implemented. How do I go about it? What I’d like to achieve is to have the address automatically populated in a field similar to how the Latitude and Longitude get automatically populated in the Location DocType

Thanks

32

Resources if anyone is interested to add it to core

Documentation : How To Improve A Standard Control

Check how other docfields are made:

Data field is common parent of most fields

Then check how geolocation field is made. You can add many plugins.

Custom app alternatives is:
Once the field is loaded on form it is an object of the control class.

You can hack things up on properties of the field object in your custom script. Get the object with frm.get_field() you get the map, plugins and other functions here.

Hello @revant_one, thanks for the work.

It works well in the desk side, but it seems that this geolocation field type cannot be seem in a web form. When I create a new field in the web form, I see the geoposition field from the doctype, but the is no “Geolocation” in the list of field type.

Is there any standard way to show this field in web form?

Cheers

@revant_one I used your piece of code (link)

I’m running into a similar issue. I’m trying to read data from form field then change the market on the map. This is my code, but it doesn’t move the market.

frappe.ui.form.on("Shipment", "vessel_location", function(frm) {
    var imo = cur_frm.doc.imo_number_vessel;
    var latitude= 50.454100;
    var longitude= -2.370833;
    cur_frm.get_field("location").locate_control._marker._latlng.lat = latitude;
    cur_frm.get_field("location").locate_control._marker._latlng.lng = longitude;

});

Thank you much for the help

Use leafletjs docs/api

hi @revant_one

Some leaflet plugins can be used via cdn by adding the relevant files in the html header. Is there any way to do this in an ERPNext doctype ?

Kindly advise

Thanks

37

Hi @revant_one

Any suggestions pls ? Also, if the html header approach isn’t feasible, could you pls give some guidance on how to add the plugin via custom script? If I can get a better idea how to add a plugin, I think I could figure the rest out

Thanks

38

I don’t know. I’ve not tried.

39

Hi @revant_one, I was actually referring to your statement above… I thought it inferred there was a known way of achieving this

Thanks anyway

That is how current plugins are added.
