Hello,

I am using Form2Content Pro version 6.17.4 and Joomla 3.9.2

I have an issue with a Geo Coder field in frontend (Show in front end).

The Google map is not loading in like 95% of all tries and so I can´t use Lookup lat/lon button either, but it works perfectly fine from backend.

How do I get the geo coder field to always load in frontend too?

Hi Pieter-Jan,

I have found the issue. An error occurred when loading javascript files.
Some files were loaded before jQuery was loaded. The strange thing is that the erroneous behaviour only showed up in Chrome, not in Firefox.

It can easily be fixed by editing this file:
components/com_form2content/libraries/form2content/field/base.php

On line #685 it says:



// Add the common script for all fields, this must be loaded first to declare the namespace

JHtml::script('com_form2content/f2c_core.js', array('relative' => true));

// Add the script specific for this field

JHtml::script('com_form2content/fields/'.$this->getFieldName().'.js', array('relative' => true));


Change the code at that point to add an extra line:


// Add the common script for all fields, this must be loaded first to declare the namespace

JHtml::_('jquery.framework',  true, true);		

JHtml::script('com_form2content/f2c_core.js', array('relative' => true));

// Add the script specific for this field

JHtml::script('com_form2content/fields/'.$this->getFieldName().'.js', array('relative' => true));


I will add this code in a future release.

best,
Julien

Hi Ellen,

This behavior most likely means your Google Maps account is not fully configured. Do you have a Google Cloud Account with payment method active for this domain?

Hi Patrick,

We have it setup with billing and activated Maps JavaScript API and Directions API.

The map is also loading 100% of the time in backend, but almost never in frontend - when I try to create f2c articles, which is weird.

Edit: I noticed something. I have chrome development tools open with "disable cache" checked, which seems to trigger a jquery error in geocoder.js: "Uncaught (in promise) ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined". Closing the developer tools or removing the chekmark and the map loads. Then I tested with an incognito tab and the first time I access the frontend creation of this f2c article and the map doesn´t load - pressing reload just once and the map loads again afterwards.

Hi Ellen, something is nagging me that I remember having this issue. I just can't remember what it was. Can you try adding sizes to the map in pixels?

I went into backend->f2c->content type / Field->Geocoder field and it had 400 x 400 Pixels set. When I change the value, the map reflects it, but this doesn´t change the issue.

Is this what you had in mind with "adding sizes to the map in pixel"? Else just tell me what to do and I will test it.
