Restaurant Review

So now that box is showing up, but when I click on 'Get Geo Location' nothing happens!

[RateU]

What's wrong with the previous one so the box not displayed? Maybe your currents issue is related to that.

[WhiteEagle]

It was set to hidden as you said to do so in your instructions.

[RateU]

Yes, it should set to hidden.

[WhiteEagle]

Yet you said to enter the address in that field to find the Geo Location, which is it?

[ZiNgA BuRgA]

You still failed to explain what you exactly did.  The field is meant to be hidden.  Did you unhide it to show it, a few posts up?  If so, you aren't following instructions.
Again, have you checked your resrev_newthread template?
We can't guess what you've done, so you need to be explicit.

I went and removed the resrev_geo field and the associated code from the templates. I un-hid the location field and made it mandatory (maybe that was the problem?). Now I know my reviews section will work. No map, but I'm willing to put up with that to get it to work.

Before I copied and pasted the templates when I first created the application at FoodRatings. I also followed the instructions for the custom thread fields.

That custom field is needed to store the latlon (coordinates) needed by Google Maps to put the marker (pin).

I don't know which codes you've removed and which codes you meant by 'the associated code'.

By default, it's a mandatory field (Everyone (required)).

If you don't want to include the maps, you can remove it. Remove all the js related to the google maps in your resrev_newthread/editpost_first templates. And remove the resrev_geo custom field. From there, you can try to modify your templates to build a new layout as your needs.

Then the resrev_location custom field should be displayed in your resrev_newthread/editpost_first templates. I hide the custom field because I want to put it outside the {$extra_threadfields} blocks. Look at the resrev_newthread/editpost_first templates. You should find the {$tfinput['resrev_location']} variable there. The Get Geo Location button and the textbox (where you should enter the location) is in this custom field (look at the Input Field HTML setting of this custom field).

Unfortunately, I can't see "anything" there.

Because you aren't a member, you can't create a new review. That's why you can't see my changes.

I think I know where I went wrong originally. I never made the field mandatory. Too late now.

On the other hand, I can use the modified templates perfectly for my recipes idea.

That's useful...
