‘Close to’ search bar to list not working when using OSM

    Hello, and first thanks you for the great plug-in, nice to be able to get a bit away from google!

    So far all works well apart from that one thing.

    With google map, when I started typing in my search bar, it would suggest places, for example, I’d type PAR, then Paris, France, would show up below, i’d click it, then select a radius of search around the mentionned city, press search, and the list would be refined to only those even happening within that radius from that city.

    Now having installer OSM Events Manager, no suggestion comes up when I type in the same search bar, and as expected, when I press search, nothing happens and the list doesn’t get filtered.

    I did create a API key from OpenCage, in case that was it.

    If you have any idea on how to get that search method from location back to work, that would be so greatly appreciated!!

    Ps i’m a big noob in coding, only know my html and css a little in case that was required for solving the problem

    Working around it using the city drop down menu, but previous way was more intuitive!

    Thanks for using my plugin! Yes, the less Google, the better. Right? ??

    Which search are you talking about? EM offers several. If you mean the Location Search in the Where meta box, then indeed, auto-search does not work with OSM.

    The Location Name field triggers an internal Ajax search for existing locations. No API call is used for that.

    With Google, typing in the other fields, every letter will trigger a new search => an API call. To make sure you do not (easily) exceed OpenCage’s limit, the address search is only called when you click the “Search Address” button.

    If you mean a different search, please let me know so I can look into it.

    That was exactly the search I was talking about!
    I start to understand this API dynamic, and looking at it, yes I think this approach is the right one.

    On the bright side, I found that the text search bar is doing a pretty good job at filtering my events by ‘location’, if not in a perfect way, close enough for my users I think (eg. they type Paris, and they get all events happening in Paris minus)
    I then set the city field which works like a charm aswell!

    Really happy about your plug in so far!
    Of course one completed task leads to another, I’ll go and create new topic about clustering ??

    Thanks for the time you took to build the plug-in and to answer support Forum, you rock!

    I think you are not talking about the same Search. ??

    they get all events happening in Paris

    The Where Meta Box searches for locations in your database, not events.

    I am talking about the last screenshot of this plugin:
