AddonsLab updated Location custom field by AddonsLab with a new update entry:

Multilingual support for Google Autocomplete

Multilingual support for Google Autocomplete

Added multilingual search capability by applying the default country scope to the search query. This ensures that language-specific characters are supported in the search form, making locations with such characters properly searchable.

Improved handling of partial Google Place API responses

When the Location field sends a partial or invalid query to the Google Place API, or when the detected location is too generic, the system now...

I told you about the problem yesterday, so thank you for your quick response.
However, I don’t understand this sentence:

When the Location field sends a partial or invalid query to the Google Place API, or when the detected location is too generic, the system now returns the error: “Address is not precise enough.”

You have solved it, so we will not see this message anymore?
Could you explain briefly what happened before?

About four weeks ago, Google seems to have changed something, and since then the system has often shown “Address is not precise enough” when using original Google addresses.

I have to write "Loewe" instead "Löwe" to make Google work.

This is related to a bug we have reported at https://xenforo.com/community/threads/breaking-change-in-xenforo-2-3-7-in-getter-syntax.232161/ We will release a patch in several hours and the bug fix is going to be released with 2.3.8

We have reproduced this issue with our automated tests, so there is no specific use case reported by customers, but Google changed how it replies in the case when a non-existing street is requested for a country. Now we handle it better, so invalid addresses should reported as non-exising, instead of converting into a country (using address approximation),

This fix is not related to the language issue. Language fix was only via putting additional configuration in JS API just informing Google what is the expected locale based on default country. Please check and let us know if this is working for you,

Thank you!

Hi @AddonsLab,

Does this work for the latest version of Bob's CAS (Classifieds) ?

Many thanks!

I am having difficulties to get this addon to work, I am not using the Google APIs and instead I'm using the country/area/city lists. I have experienced three problems:

1. When the country/area/city are configured to obtain the lists from the database, I cannot press the "edit" button which expands the UI to edit a post, the console shows an error:

Code:

2. If I go to the edit URL directly, the addon mostly works and the dropdowns are updated according to the selected country/region. However, there are some countries that returns an error. I haven't made an exhaustive investigation but it fails if I select "Cocos Islands":

Code:

ErrorException: [E_WARNING] Undefined array key 0 in src/addons/AL/LocationField/Service/Data.php at line 110
[LIST=1]
[*]XF::handlePhpError() in src/addons/AL/LocationField/Service/Data.php at line 110

[*]XF\App->run() in src/XF.php at line 806
[*]XF::runApp() in index.php at line 23
[/LIST]

3. But for my particular use case, I do not need to select a country so I configure it to be read only and configured to my particular country. With this configuration, the drop downs are not updated at all so the State/Area dropdown is displayed correctly but the City dropdown is fixed at the cities from the first state in the list and doesn't get udpated when you select new states. This same behavior happens in the filter dropdown in the thread list page.

Any idea how to fix it?
