Issue
- We have a web content structure with a "geolocation" type field (we use the Open Street Map option).
- We display it using a template for said structure.
- The map appears correctly the first time it is loaded, but if we reload the page it appears completely blank map area.
- We note that the Leaflet JavaScript object "L" is undefined.
Resolution
- If you want to create a structure with a template where you want to display a geolocation field, you need to uncheck the
cacheable option; otherwise it will not work, showing a white box.
- You can do this from: Content & Data > Web content > Templates > Open the template you use to display the geolocation field > uncheck
Cacheable option from the properties panel:
- This field would not work if
cacheable is enabled, as it needs its resources to be updated with every page load.
- This has always been the way geolocation fields have worked.
