CCK Location Field Does Not Respect "Hide Fields"

This is also true with the 6.x-3.0 and 6.x-3.x-dev (as of this moment) versions; the "Do not collect"/"Require" options do not behave as expected. Specifically:

• setting "Location Name" to "Require" hides the location name field (to duplicate: add a new location cck field to a node type. on the field settings page under "collection settings", choose "require" next to the "location name" field, hit save. view the node creation form.)
• setting "Additional" to "Do not collect" while "Street Location" is set to "Allow" fails to hide the "additional" field.
• when you create a field, "City", "State/Province", and "Postal Code" fields are each set to "Do not collect". I think that it would be more appropriate for these to be set to "Allow", initially.

urm, sorry, didn't mean to take this critical :)

Having the same issue with 6.x-3.0 as well. Also note that Additional is appearing above Street even if it is weighted heavier.

I had the same problem with the "require" option until I set the minimum number of location types to 1. This is a separate issue, though.

ah, you are right WesleyTx, I didn't read very carefully :)

That said, I can confirm that the original issue still exists in the latest 6.x-3.x-dev. I'm attaching a patch that fixes it (controlling the display of location cck content).

Modified patch discussed with becw in irc, fixed.

http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=163474
http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=163475

Fair enough. Done.

http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=164281

Although, is it possible this patch gives me a 'Cannot use string offset as an array in line 354' in 6.x-3.x-dev?

I've made the adjustment for my version (5.x) but unfortunately it's not working.

Any selection in 'hide fields from display' will result in having the defaults:
latitude, longtitude, location name, additional, street, country.

@peter076 - have you tried the 5.x-3.x-dev version?

Yes, tried that.

I installed the latest dev. version (2009-Jan-14) with location_cck.module 1.1.2.4 (2009/01/12 16:03:28), but with no effect.

Still the selected fields that should be disabled, are displayed ;(

How is this marked fixed/closed? Two people reported the issue even with the patch. I am experiencing the same issue. Is their no way to turn off the display of latitude and longitude fields?

Because nobody changed it from fixed back to an active state, so it got autoclosed two weeks later.

Looking at what's up with the D5 version now.

Could you edit your field and resave it, and see if that helps? I am not able to reproduce.

Hi bdragon,

Let's assume I am a novice, because I am. Sorry if I sounded pissy about the issue getting knocked out of the cue, BTW. The tone was supposed to be more like, "how does this happen?") Anyway...

Let's jump right to the likely root of my problem. Pilot error. I am installing the CVS of Location --- location_cck.module,v 1.5.2.8 2009/02/25 17:29:58 bdragon I already have Location module installed and running.

Now I've patched a module before, but haven't worked with an edited module. My assumption is, that I just add this module to my Location directory. Not sure if this is correct. And I don't see an additional module to enable under CCK or Location.

Well, if I did that right, read on:

What I really want is just a list of countries that defaults to U.S. (Sorry world). I had this with a text field, but the person I am working with is convinced we may want the geo-locating capabilities down the road. So I have stripped everything down to just country and selected US as the default. No data collection, no display.

Now when I include this field in my Content Type that collects this information, I get two large Latitude and Longitude fields and my country drop-down menu is set to "Please Select"

So did I go wrong waaaaay back in step one, or is the module not working? Or is it not designed to turn off those fields.

Thanks!

Oh, I was just explaining why it got marked as closed. I'm not annoyed or anything.

Hmm, you should be able to disable the latitude and longitude fields by setting "Coordinate Chooser" to "Do Not Collect."

Ah ha!

That is my problem. I do not have a "co-ordinate chooser." I took snapshots of my display under both the Location Configuration and the Edit field in my CCK display. I don't see the chooser, and as you'll see I have as much of the "Display Cordinates" turned off as possible.

Please take a look at:

I have attached the PICs as well

Thanks!

Hmm, are you mixing different versions? The ability to hide longitude and latitude is also a post 3.0 change. (#351840: Additional field order appearance)

I'm not able to reproduce, even when creating an admin account that doesn't have permission to use that field...

Download the latest versions and see if it is still a problem, or at least respond with the exact versions that you have. Thanks.

And tagging.

Yeah, I can't really help any longer. After not hearing back I went in another direction. It ended up being much simpler to just create CCK fields with the location information I wanted. Thanks anyway.

ok. :)

Under 'Collection settings' I have set 'Additional'=>'Do Not Collect', yet it still shows up when creating a new node. I could hide it with CSS, but I wouldn't consider that ideal.

I am noticing the above as well but think it should probably be put in a new issue to avoid gettying caught up in a thread that was originally about something similar but different.

location-6.x-3.1-rc1 fixes these problems for me... Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Hello,

This issue appears to have been marked as closed and resolved, however I still see this behavior using 6.x-3.1-rc1.

Specifically, as long as "street location" is set to "allow" or "require", the "Additional" field will always display. If both "street location" and "additional" are set to "do not collect", neither will display, as expected. Also, if "street location" is set to "do not collect", but "Additional" is set to "allow" or "require", it WILL display.

Thanks for any help resolving this issue. I'd really like to not display the "Additional" field, while displaying the "Street Location" field.

Having this issue with 6.x-3.1-rc1 as well.

which would be why you should upgrade to the lastest version which is 3.0

sorry for opening then but according to project page info:

location 6.x-3.1-rc1
March 3, 2009

seems to be more recent then

location 6.x-3.0
December 12, 2008

(I first had this issue with Location 6.x-3.x-dev 2009-Jul-31 )

Did i miss something?

Nope. I read 3.0-rc1 my first time through. Too much coffee I guess. I'll have to check my install but I don't believe this is happening there any more. though I think I am using the latest -dev

I have this issue with the last dev 3.x

could you please clarify just what issue you are having when you say "i'm still having this issue"...
are you specifically having trouble with the additional field? as in #31 above:
http://drupal.org/node/355320#comment-2663650 ?

I know it's a pain, but please try the new dev version:
http://drupal.org/project/location
and post some screen shots or describe your settings exactly so we can reproduce.

Hi,

I'm not sure if my issue is the same as this one. I'm using location module with the user module but not with CCK.
But I noticed the same behavior: The field "Additional" is still displayed in the user registration form (admin/user/user/create) even if this one is "not collect" (admin/user/settings) in the User settings page.

Please have a look on the print screens.

Thank you

Julie, Just checking... which version are you using?

Sorry, I'm a newbie with Drupal and not sure which number is the version: location.info,v 1.3 2008/07/24 or version = "6.x-3.0"
Thank you

both.. but I was referring to: 6.x-3.x-dev type of version. Try it with that dev (try it on a test site, not your live site).

Thank you, it works now!

Could I use the dev version on a live site, wait for a new version or just make a correction on the recommended version?
Sorry for the question... it seems to work fine, but I don't want to expose the website to new issues.

that is a call you'll have to make.
Test the dev as much as you can with a copy of your site. If all seems to work, maybe use it live. But definitely keep a backup (and make sure you can restore from the backup ... try it!)

This is still not fixed in 6.x-3.1. None of the hide settings are respected at all.

Still not fixed in the latest dev version, 2 years later

You sure about that? I am not able to reproduce with 6.x-3.x. However, since the last release is so old, it does not have this bugfix.

I was able to hide coordinates but not country fields. with latest dev hmm...

Closing old D6 issues as D6 is end of life
