Browser autocomplete creates incorrect point

Hi Team, thanks for creating a cool app.

I have found an issue recently where if browser autocomplete is used then the location field point is incorrect.

screenshot - good point created on typing

screenshot - bad point created on autocomplete (Note: the fields in yellow were the browser autocomplete fields)

I have <form ... autocomplete="off">... but a lot of browsers ignore this anyway.

Thanks for your assistance in advance.

Issue when upgrade to 2.0.1

I just upgraded the library from 1.6 and got this error:

'Settings' object has no attribute 'LOCATION_FIELD'

Seems is not taking the default value since I don't have any LOCATION_FIELD setting.

Missing leaflet static files causing errors with ManifestStaticFilesStorage
When you're using the ManifestStaticFilesStorage, collectstatic fails because it can't find two files. Namely:

location_field/images/layers.png

location_field/images/layers-2x.png

The solution would be either to remove those lines from leaflet.css or include the images with the package.

Here's a relevant issue: https://github.com/evansd/whitenoise/issues/96

install_requires shouldn't reference Django itself
Currently pip installing django-location-field downgrades Django itself:

$ pip install django-location-field Installing collected packages: Django, django-location-field Found existing installation: Django 1.9.2 Uninstalling Django-1.9.2: Successfully uninstalled Django-1.9.2 Successfully installed Django-1.8.9 django-location-field-1.6.1

Even if django-location-field really doesn't work on Django 1.9 this is still surprising behaviour. See similar discussions:

https://github.com/charettes/django-admin-enhancer/issues/23

https://github.com/carljm/django-model-utils/issues/183

(yeah - it's me each time ;-) )

How to load static files?

I'm sure I'm missing the obvious here. My form displays a blank space where the map should go, essentially because the static files do not get loaded (or referenced for that matter) in my template. How should I link them? How should I configure the static files?

max_length error

Django 1.9.1

from location_field.models.plain import PlainLocationField
...
city = models.ForeignKey(City, blank=True, null=True)
region = models.ForeignKey(Region, blank=True, null=True)
location = PlainLocationField('place',
                             based_fields=['city'],
                             zoom=7
                             )

When I try to makemigrations I'm got:

ERRORS:
trips.TripExpence.location: (fields.E121) 'max_length' must be a positive integer.

Second question: Name of city defined in another model and linked through ForeignKey. Is this will work?

And third: Can I set the place for location field using both entites: city and region?

Map is not rendering

When opening change form in admin map is blank. After changing city it's refreshed and renders correctly, after saving model it works correctly, problem exists only when opening model that wasn't edited through admin (it was imported). Dragging map or changing location field don't help.

I'm using postgis, and from location_field.models.spatial import LocationField Tested in django 2.2 and 1.10, with django-location-field==2.1.0

Not compatible with Django 2.1

I did a basic install and added a PlainLocationField to my model, and now the admin crashes with:

TypeError: render() got an unexpected keyword argument 'renderer'

It seems on the Django side it is calling:

widget.render(
            name=self.html_initial_name if only_initial else self.html_name,
            value=self.value(),
            attrs=attrs,
            renderer=self.form.renderer,
        )

But the LocationWidget doesn't accept renderer as a keyword argument.

Allow blank value for LocationField

Currently the form explodes (both on validation and on rendering of the the field value) if you set field blank attribute to True, leave the value empty and save the model.

ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack

This pull request fixes this and allows a blank value.

How to update map marker with current location on the map
Good day,

We are using the library with this configuration

LOCATION_FIELD = { "map.provider": "openstreetmap", "search.provider": "nominatim", }

The model is using a PlainLocationField.

We need to allow the users to use their current location in the map. For this, we implemented this little script

function getLocation() { if ("geolocation" in navigator) { navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition, error); } else { $("#location-message").show() } } function showPosition(position) { $("#id_location").val(position.coords.latitude + "," + position.coords.longitude) } function error(err) { $("#location-message").show() }

it is working fine, the latitude and longitude is automatically updated; however, the marker is not. How may we force the marker to move to the new coordinates?

We tried editing the coordinates directly and it is not working either; it seems that the marker updates the coordinates field but it does not work in the other way.

Thank you,

LocationField throws AttributeError because value is always None

Hello there. I have a strange behaviour with the LocationField in my forms.py. I guess i do something wrong, but have no idea what it is (maybe the problem is that i use crispy-forms?)

I have a Spatial LocationField in my model and added it also to my Create-Form.

forms.py

from location_field.forms.spatial import LocationField

class SomeCreateForm(forms.ModelForm):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['location'].initial = "2.0,2.0"

        self.helper = FormHelper()
        self.helper.form_tag = False
        self.helper.layout = Layout(
           ...
            LocationField("location"),
            ...
            Submit("create", "Create", css_class="some_class"),
        )

    class Meta:
        model = Place
        fields = (..., 'location', ...)

Problem:

When LocationField.clean() is called, the value is always None, which leads to a AttributeError. The initial-value gets propagated to self.initial in my case.

class LocationField(PlainLocationField):
    def clean(self, value):
        try:
            lat, lng = value.split(',')
            return Point(float(lng), float(lat))
        except ValueError:
            return None

So as a workaround i created a costum MyLocationField() where i add the initial value directly into the .clean() function. I am looking forward to any kind of help or advice here. Thank you!
