I tried this as a footer script in Geodirectory > Design > Scripts

<script type="text/javascript">
    function replaceFillInAddress() {
        if (fillInAddress == null) {
            setTimeout(replaceFillInAddress, 200);
            return;
        }

        fillInAddress = function () {
            fillInAddress();

            var place = autocomplete.getPlace();

            if (place.formatted_address) {
                jQuery('#post_address').val(place.formatted_address);
            }
        };
    }

    replaceFillInAddress();
</script>

It has to retry because it’s included before the plugin scripts. Anyway, it looked like it was working, but the map wouldn’t change position when selecting a suggestion. Clicking ‘Set Address On Map’ would do it, but it’s nicer when you don’t have to do that.

I guess this approach is slightly less fragile. Any idea why the map doesn’t auto update with this approach?

Thanks Alex

I actually found a solution to question 1. Seems to be working so far. I found where the address is set from the autocomplete callback.

In

plugins/geodir_location_manager/geodir_location_hooks_actions.php

it outputs the JS function

fillInAddress

which does

jQuery('#<?php echo $prefix . 'address'; ?>').val(place.name);

.

I changed it to

jQuery('#<?php echo $prefix . 'address'; ?>').val(place.formatted_address);

which is the whole suggested value e.g. ‘579 Kessels Rd, MacGregor QLD 4109’

I’m not too familiar with WordPress, but I understand directly modifying plugin files isn’t a good long-term solution. Is there any way for me to persist that change somewhere else that won’t be overwritten when the plugin updates?

Still working on question 2.

Thanks
