Bug in the Event system is back

Hi guys,

The same privacy problem as in my previous (archived) topic: https://help.forumotion.com/t153789-bug-in-the-event-system#1055891 is ocurring again, it violates the privacy laws, because it forces to display your home address, even when you haven't put it into the form..This started occurring again since the new privacy laws became active! So Google is violating them once more..

I hope someone can repair it again..

Thanks for your time and have a nice evening

@Shadow Could you report this?

@TonnyKamper Just out of curosity when your making the event are you on a mobile device? If so, do you have location turned on? If location is turned on, it may be causing the form to add it there (most people don't know, but turning location on, lets app track your location anytime). I don't think ip addresses even trace to someone's home ip address, usually the most it can do is go to your town.

Hello,

Do you mean the autocomplete location, based on your IP address?

Yes @Shadow we used the system to announce Live Chat events, which ofcourse have no address other than the forum itself, but it displays the home town and home address on the googlemap of the one who posts the event, but only after publishing, so if people don't check back at what they posted they don't even know that their home address is displayed without their knowledge

The same as I mentioned in my previous topic.. that was fixed for a short time, but now it does it again, we can't have that, so I had to disable the event system again.. I hope it can be fixed again?

Hello,

This is the normal process, you can delete the location in the form by adding a new script enabled on all pages:

Code:

$(function() {
  $('#street_full, #getGeo').closest('dl').hide();

  $('#EV_Form').on('submit', function() {
    if($('#street_full', this).val() == '')
      $('#street_full', this).val('Unknown');
  });
});

And you can also add this CSS to remove the Google Map from the event display.

Code:

#EV_MainInfos {
    display:none;
}
.EV_HalfBlock {
    width: 100%;
}
