If I edit a post, then try to edit again, location is removed

[ajones05]

Here is the process:

1. Edit a post - make changes and save.
2. Try to edit the same post. This time the location has been removed.

@yuriyua When I save a post after editing using mobile/save-post API, the Address field becomes empty string in the response although this field had an address before. Here is an example of the post without Address:

editPost called ... { "id":"4557", "user_id":"369", "category_id":"4", "news":"I think #meena is a beautiful actress. Test", "created_date":"2 months ago", "latitude":"31.5741177", "longitude":"74.41203519999999", "Address":"", "comment_count":"1", "vote":"11", "isLikedByUser":"1", "Name":"Abdul", "Profile_image":"http://www.seearound.me/uploads/1mssyv4pls.jpg", "canEdit":1, "canVote":1, "isFriend":0, "thumb":"http://www.seearound.me/thumb448x320/f13ch1s54y.jpg", "image":"http://www.seearound.me/uploads/f13ch1s54y.jpg" }

@abdulhafeez Address is empty because we missed the address details (street_number, street_name, city, state, country, zip) in the request parameters. You can see that response details:

@yuriyua Address details are not present in the original post but Address is. To me, it does not make sense to make Address from details in case of save-post. It should be saved as it is with new changes.

[abdulhafeez]

JSON after savePost called ... shows the data from original post. See that details are empty while Address has a string. Response does not show Address.

[yuriyua]

@abdulhafeez Are you used /mobile/post api for load post details for edit form?

[abdulhafeez]

No, I do not use mobile/post api to load post details. I pick the post from the list when user taps on 'Edit Post'. Thats how it is done in mobile apps.

[yuriyua]

I added full address details to post api responses:

mobile/post mobile/myposts mobile/request-neares

https://github.com/ajones05/seearound.me/wiki/Mobile-Api-Reference/_compare/9b874d0def5f23e8368ffe39bf0fdc19f89f9c4e...46e06494a97a897cf9f2dff575f238c2c5ff0254

[abdulhafeez]

@yuriyua Sorry, it seems you have done the opposite. 'Address' is still empty which is actually required. The 'Address' is there in the post before saving but is removed after saving. That is the problem. Other details are irrelevant in this case.

[yuriyua]

@abdulhafeez We do not use Address value in post form. We use address details values: https://github.com/ajones05/seearound.me/wiki/Mobile-Api-Reference#-mobilesave-post

Parameter name	Value	Required	Description
...	...	...	...
latitude	string	yes	The post location latitude
longitude	string	yes	The post location longitude
street_name	string	no	The post address street name
street_number	string	no	The post address street number
city	string	no	The post address city
state	string	no	The post address state
country	string	no	The post address country
zip	string	no	The post address zip code
...	...	...	...

You should send full address details to save post api. We generate full address (field Address) from these values.

We use address different format. For example we hide street number in the profile details. We need to store separated address values.
