mosmap plugin and extra fields for address and city [Solved]

Hi,

I have been searching this forum and even the documentation area, I found these links which are quite similar to my current issue:

flexicontent.org/forum/index.php?f=20&t=5728&rb_v=viewtopic
www.flexicontentcck.org/forum/index.php?...=5223&rb_v=viewtopic
and even this documentation link www.flexicontent.org/documentation/faq/7...of-other-fields.html

However, none of the above could help me to find a proper solution based on my current issue and templating knowledge.

I do not want to make any change to the item template but simply use fields to create what I want to do.

I have 3 fields:

Address: field22
City: field23
Location Map: a text field which is hidden both on backend and frontend item form.

In the Location Map field, in the prefix I have added:

In the default value, I have added:

In the suffix field, I have added:

I have set the Default value use to:

However, when I create a new item, save it and go to the item page, the map does not appear! Is it the right way to use another field value to create the map address or am I making a mistake somewhere please?

1 do you activad trigering plugin ?
2 all your field are in position (displaing position or rendering)

Hello

1. activate parameter "Trigger content plugins"
2. below it you select content plugins, if plugin 'mosmap' appears in list select it otherwise select none from the list = trigger all content plugins

- also make sure mosmap plugin is enabled

- if text is not replaced, then look at it,
does it have correct syntax ?
you may paste it here too
also copy text inside desription, does it get replaced

I do not see nothing on frontend, not even the syntax without rendering!

Yes, trigger all content plugins is also enable in backend.

Hello

-- so the mosmap is matching the string but it gets replaced with nothing ?

if it is replaced with nothing:
a. do you see any JS error in "console" of the browser (click f12 to open)
b. if you temporarily disable mosmap plugin, you should see the real text, does it look correct, meaning the values that you want are what you expected with :
{{field22##0}}
{{field23##0}}

Hello,

Here is a screenshot of the map field parameters, just in case I made any mistake in it:

Now, to answer to your questions, please see answers below:

a. do you see any JS error in "console" of the browser
NO, no js error or any kind or other errors are displayed.

b. if you temporarily disable mosmap plugin, you should see the real text, does it look correct, meaning the values that you want are what you expected with :
{{field22##0}}
{{field23##0}}

[attachment=0:j2vfstbd]<!-- ia0 -->frontend-display.png<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:j2vfstbd]

This is a screenshot of how it is displayed on the frontend, as you'll see, there are tabs bottom_tab1 and bottom_tab3, the map, or the values should be displayed under tab bottom_tab2, not even the tab is visible, so I guess that not even the values are displayed on the frontend, and yes, I have temporally disable the google map plugin to test this and see if at least the field values were visible, but still nothing!

Just in case you might need it, just pm you my site details.

Hello

it is working now, you made 3-4 (multiple) mistakes,
(also we have a FAQ article for this ...), please read below


0. Better disable Joomla cache while testing (i have disabled it)
-- ALSO the Google Map will not render correctly inside HIDDEN container
so you can not put inside a TAB

1. {mosmap ...} is system plugin so you do not need content plugin triggering inside the text field

2. also if you are going to use ADDRESS, why don't you use our:
FLEXIcontent Address/Google map (FLEXIcontent FIELD) ??


3. Finally if you want to use text fields and {mosmap ...}
then NOTE that {{field22##0}} ONLY works inside prefix/suffix/opentag/closetag parameters !! (that is what the popup description says)

so correct configuration is this
1. Set default value to NON EMPTY e.g. "&nbsp;" (non-breaking space) or to any text
2. Set parameter usage of default value to "LOAD WHEN EMPTY"
3. Set inside prefix OR suffix OR opentag OR closetag:
{mosmap address='{{field22##0}}, {{field23##0}}, Mauritius'}




Also if you want in SOME ITEMS to use LATITUDE and LONGITUDE, and in SOME ITEMS to use address


then you can create 2 FLEXIcontent CHECKBOX fields:

"Show Map via address"
VALUES (only one value): 1::Show%%
PREFIX: {mosmap address='{{field22##0}}, {{field23##0}}, Mauritius'}


"Show Map via coordinates"
VALUES (only one value): 1::Show%%
PREFIX: {mosmap lat='{{field777##0}}', lon='{{field888##0}}'}




SO in item form
-- if you add address,
you tick checkbox field:
"Show Map via address"

-- if you add coordinates (remember to create to extra text fields: latitude,longitude),
you tick checkbox field:
"Show Map via coordinates"



and it is working now (see PM)
