Using Rainlab's Location plugin throws an error on filters

[salahassi]

Hello,

I have a project that depends on countries in their entries. So, I used Rainlab’s Locations plugin; it worked fine in terms of showing the countries in a dropdown, selecting them, and even showing them in the data table. However, when filtering by country, an error gets thrown as shown:

"Call to a member function methodExists() on null" on line 237 of /Users/salahassi/dev/sada/october/modules/backend/filterwidgets/Group.php

The error is here at line 237 ($model is null):

And here is how I define it in the Tailor Blueprint:

    country:
        label: Country
        type: dropdown
        options: RainLab\Location\Behaviors\LocationModel::getCountryOptions
        select: name
        placeholder: Select an option

I tried to create a custom scope with no luck.

I appreciate any solution or workaround that might help.

Thanks

Hi @salahassi

It looks like we may need to add a content field for the location plugin. I noted this has been logged on GitHub so it can be followed for updates:

Hi draft,

Thanks for your reply. Is there any way I could work it around so I can use it?

Appreciated!

It looks like there is a bug with this. We will fix it in v3.6. For now, disable the scope with

scope: false

After updating, the definition would look like this

country:
    label: Country
    type: dropdown
    options: RainLab\Location\Models\Country::getNameList
    select: name
    placeholder: Select an option
