Get Position from modal Google map in Razor view

I'm writing an MVC project that includes the possibility to add points in a Google map. So far I can add points to db by hardcoding latitude and longitude values, but I want to let the user select the position on the map and send them back to the controller from the Razor view.
I have already written part of the view and I'm able to open a modal popup with the map and a hardcoded location.
What I want to do is:
1. let the user insert an address in a textbox
2. open the modal popup and have the map centered with a marker near the address
3. save back the position in two fields of the view in order to send them back to the controller.
I have been using the code provided by Google Developers at:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/place-details
and have come to the following code:
All the code is in the Razor View:
<form>
<fieldset>
<legend>Ubicazione: </legend>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.Indirizzo, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" style="float:left"
data-toggle="modal" data-target="#findInModal" data-backdrop="static"
data-keyboard="true" data-address='pippo'>
Trova posizione
</button>
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.Indirizzo, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" }, #id="addr" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Indirizzo, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.Latitudine, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#*#Html.EditorFor(model => model.Latitudine, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })*#
#Html.DisplayFor(model => model.Latitudine, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
#Html.HiddenFor(model => model.Latitudine)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Latitudine, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.Longitudine, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#*#Html.EditorFor(model => model.Longitudine, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })*#
#Html.DisplayFor(model => model.Longitudine, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
#Html.HiddenFor(model => model.Longitudine)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Longitudine, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
I would like the value of the data-address='pippo' to be the address in the "#Html.EditorFor(model => model.Indirizzo …."
Here is the modal popup content that opens the map and centers it to a hardcoded position:
<!-- Find Location In Modal -->
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="modal fade" id="findInModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog">

}
map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
}
});
}
function createMarker(place) {
let marker = new google.maps.Marker({

}
and here is the script that open the popup:
<script>
$('#findInModal').on('show.bs.modal', function (event) {
let button = $(event.relatedTarget) // Button that triggered the modal
let AddressToFind = button.data('address') // Extract info from data-* attributes
// If necessary, you could initiate an AJAX request here (and then do the updating in a callback).
// Update the modal's content. We'll use jQuery here, but you could use a data binding library or other methods instead.
let modal = $(this)
modal.find('.modal-title').text('Find near: ' + AddressToFind)
})
</script>
At the moment I have not implemented how to return the place.geometry.location values to the parent view, but they are suppose to update the model => model.Latitudine and model => model.Longitudine values that will be returned to the controller to update the db.
Thank in advance for any help.

No help from devs, but going deep into the Google Developers documentation and testing it at JSFiddle, I finally came out with the following solution:

</script>
infowindow and alerts are just in while developing, but are not part of the final solution.
Basically I implemented a Google Maps Search Box with the Autocomplete and Place service, and a Geocoder to retrieve the address from the coordinators.To this I added a function that updates my hidden fields.The code of the view is much more complex because it contains other fields not relevant to the position in the map and makes it possible to manually modify the fields, but basically this is the backbone of the code.
I would have like to post images, it seem that my APIkey has overgone quota.

Ajax Success does not render partial view

I have placed a partial view into a modal to update a password like so:
<div class="modal fade" id="modalPassword" tabindex="-1" role="dialog"
aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-body">
<div class="modal-content">
<div id="message"></div>
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
<h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Change Password</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-
<div id="passwordForm">
#{
#Html.Action("ChangePassword","Account");
}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
This is my partial view:
#model WebApplication1.Models.ViewModel.ChangeUserPassword
#{
Layout = null;
}
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js"></script>
<form id="form">
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
#Html.ValidationSummary(true)
<fieldset id="submitPasswordForm">
<div class="col_full">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.OldPassword, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "capitalize t600" })
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.OldPassword, null, new { #class = "sm-form-control", id = "txtOldPassword" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.OldPassword)
</div>
<div class="col_full">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.ChangedPassword, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "capitalize t600" })
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.ChangedPassword, null, new { #class = "sm-form-control", id = "txtChangedPassword" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.ChangedPassword)
</div>
<div class="col_full">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.ConfirmPassword, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "capitalize t600" })
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.ConfirmPassword, null, new { #class = "sm-form-control", id = "txtConfirmPassword" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.ConfirmPassword)
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-warning" data-dismiss="modal">Cancel</button>
<input type="submit" value="Save Changes" class="btn btn-primary" id="btn_save_password" />
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
When I click the "btn_save_password", I invoke the onclick event like so:
$("#btn_save_password").click(function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
var data = $("#submitPasswordForm").serialize();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "#Url.Action("ChangePassword", "Account")",
data: data,
success: function (result) {
$("#passwordForm").empty();
//$("div").remove("#passwordForm");
addHtml(result);
},
error: function () {
$("#passwordForm").html("Error occured");
}
});
});
function addHtml(htmlString) {
$("#msg").html(htmlString);
}
Then it invokes a method in my controller "ChangePassword"
[Authorize]
public ActionResult ChangePassword()
{
return PartialView();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult ChangePassword(ChangeUserPassword password)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
var cookie = HttpContext.Request.Cookies["Sys_user_id"];
var um = new UserManager();
if (cookie != null && um.GetAccountPassword(Convert.ToInt32(cookie.Value), password.OldPassword))
{
um.ChangeUserPassword(password, Convert.ToInt32(cookie.Value));
}
else
{
ModelState.AddModelError("","Wrong current password");
}
}
else
{
ModelState.AddModelError("","Error");
}
return View();
}
The "ChangePassword" method invokes the PartialView "ChangePassword.html" like so:
[Authorize]
public ActionResult ChangePassword {
return PartialView();
}
I can view the partial view on the modal and I am able to successfully update the database. But the problem is, I want to be able to send a successful message or error message into the modal when it is successful or not. Upon submission, whether it has updated the database or not, it refreshes the page and the modal is gone. I want to be able to get the message into the modal.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
EDIT --
I can now see the validation message in the Modal but it only works once. As soon as I click the "btn_save_password" again, the page refreshes.

Add two <div> sections containing your messages (Successs and Failed) with the hide class in the partial view. After Ajax Submission, Add class Show for the suitable div.
eg:
<div class="alert alert-danger text-center hide" role="alert"id="FailedMesssage">
Failed....!!!
</div>
<div class="alert alert-success text-center hide" role="alert" id="successMesssage">
success....!!!
</div>
<button type = "button" value="Submit" onclick ="Test()"/>
Set Var Value as 0 or 1 using ajax code then try following script
<script>
function Test()
{
var value =1;
if(value == 1)
{
$("#successMesssage").addClass("show").removeClass("hide");
}
else
{
$("#FailedMesssage").addClass("show").removeClass("hide");
}
}
</script>

Modal turns into a dark screen when opened a second time

I have coded a edit modal, is does works, but when I dismiss the modal and try to open it a second time, it just goes dark.
My link calling the modal
#Html.ActionLink("Editar", "GetEditSv", "Sv", new { id = sv.IDServico },new{data_target = "#modal-container", data_toggle = "modal"})
my container inside the parent view
<div id="modal-container" class="modal fade hidden-print" tabindex="-1" role="dialog">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
</div>
</div>
a script to erase the modal data and the parent view (take on the internet)
<script>
$(function () {
//when the modal is closed
$('#modal-container').on('hidden.bs.modal', function () {
//remove the bs.modal data attribute from it
$(this).removeData('bs.modal');
//and empty the modal-content element
$('#modal-container .modal-content').empty();
});
});
$('#modal-container').on('show.bs.modal', function (event) {
var button = $(event.relatedTarget);
var url = button.attr("href");
var modal = $(this);
//note that this will replace the content of modal-contant ever time the modal is opened
modal.find('.modal-content').load(url);
});
</script>
A part of the modal view (a separated file)
#model ControleIntegrado.Models.Servico
#using (Html.BeginForm("EditSv", "Sv", FormMethod.Post))
{
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-horizontal">

Try this, use $('body').find('.modal-backdrop').removeClass('modal-backdrop'); to remove the backdrop effect (dark background)
<script>
$(function () {

$('#modal-container').on('hidden.bs.modal', function () {
//remove the bs.modal data attribute from it
$(this).removeData('bs.modal');
//and empty the modal-content element
$('#modal-container .modal-content').empty();
//remove backdrop
$('#modal-container').find('.modal-backdrop').removeClass('modal-backdrop');
});
});
$('#modal-container').on('show.bs.modal', function (event) {
var button = $(event.relatedTarget);
var url = button.attr("href");
var modal = $(this);
//note that this will replace the content of modal-contant ever time the modal is opened
modal.find('.modal-content').load(url);
});
</script>

Javascript on editor template

I have a page to add outcomes to a areas on a form. I utilise Editor templates to group the outcomes into areas and allow the outcome to be selected from a drop down list. I'd like to show an optional comments box for two of the 3 possible outcomes.
The main page is the following:
#model DBS.ViewModels.OutcomeQuestionnaireVM
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Outcomes";
}
<h2>Add Outcomes</h2>
#if (Model.Error == true)
{
<h3 class="danger">You MUST select an outcome for at least 1 area.</h3>
}
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-horizontal">
#Html.HiddenFor(x => x.DebriefId)
<hr />
#Html.EditorFor(m => m.Groups, new { outcomes = Model.Outcomes })
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" value="Next" class="btn btn-default" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
The group editor template is:
#model DBS.ViewModels.OutcomeQuestionGroupVM
#{
Layout = null;
}
<h4>#Html.DisplayFor(m => m.Name)</h4>
#Html.EditorFor(m => m.Questions, new { outcomes = ViewData["outcomes"] })
The final editor template for the outcome is:
#model DBS.ViewModels.OutcomeQuestionVM
#{
Layout = null;
}
<div class="form-group">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
#Html.DisplayFor(m => m.Question)
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
#Html.HiddenFor(m => m.ID)
#Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.OutcomeId, (SelectList)ViewData["outcomes"], "Please Select if applicable", new { #class = "form-control", #id = "OutcomeId" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.OutcomeId, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
<div class="col-md-4" id="Comments">
#Html.HiddenFor(m => m.Comments)
#Html.TextAreaFor(model => Model.Comments, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "form-control" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Comments, "", new { #class = "text- danger" })
</div>
</div>
</div>
#section Scripts {
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function ()
{
document.getElementById('Comments').hide;
});
$(function () {
$(".DropChange").change(function () {
var valone = $('#OutcomeId').val();
if (valone == 1 || valone == 2)
{
$('#Comments').show();
}
else if (valone == 3)
{
$('#Comments').hide();
}
else
{
$('#Comments').hide();
}
});
});
</script>
}
However javascript doesn't do anything.

Sections are not supported in partial views, which is fortunate in your case or you would be adding multiple inline copies of each script in the jqueryval bundle as well as your own script (one each time the template is added).
Your also generating invalid html because of the duplicate id attributes generated by new { id = "OutcomeId" } and <div class="col-md-4" id="Comments"> which means the script would never have worked anyway.
You are also generating a hidden input for Comments before the textarea for the same property, which means that when the form is submitted, the value of Comments will be the initial value (as generated by #Html.HiddenFor(m => m.Comments)) and the value of the <textarea> would be ignored.
Its the responsibility of the view to include the scripts, not the partial, so move the scripts to the main view (or layout) and use class names and relative selectors.
Your html in the template should be
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
#Html.DisplayFor(m => m.Question)
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
#Html.HiddenFor(m => m.ID)
// add class name to handle the .change() event
#Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.OutcomeId, (SelectList)ViewData["outcomes"], "Please Select if applicable", new { #class = "form-control outcome" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.OutcomeId, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
<div class="col-md-4" class="comments"> // use class name
#Html.TextAreaFor(model => Model.Comments, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "form-control" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Comments, "", new { #class = "text- danger" })
</div>
</div>
then include css to initially hide all comments
.comments {
display: none;
}
and the script in the main view
#section Scripts {
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
<script type="text/javascript">
$(".outcome").change(function () {
var valone = $(this).val();
// get the associated comment
var comment = $(this).closest('.row').find('.comments');
if (valone == 1 || valone == 2) {
comment.show();
} else {
comment.hide();
}
});
</script>

Note it was not clear what $(".DropChange") was referring to but I assume its the dropdownlist in your template (which I gave class="outcome")

.submit(function ()) inside my modal popup is not working, and my modal popup will send normal http post request

I am working on an asp.net mvc web application. on my main view i got the following create link:-
<a class="btn btn-success" data-modal="" href="/Staff/Create" id="btnCreate">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus"></span>
</a>
<!-- modal placeholder-->
<div id='myModal' class='modal fade in'>
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div id='myModalContent'></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
and i have the following script:-
$(function () {
$.ajaxSetup({ cache: false });
$("a[data-modal]").on("click", function (e) {
$('#myModalContent').load(this.href, function () {
$('#myModal').modal({
keyboard: true
}, 'show');
$('#myModalContent').removeData("validator");
$('#myModalContent').removeData("unobtrusiveValidation");
$.validator.unobtrusive.parse('#myModalContent');
bindForm(this);
});
return false;
});
});
function bindForm(dialog) {
$('#myModalContent', dialog).submit(function () {
if ($('#myModalContent').valid()) {
$('#progress').show();
$.ajax({
url: this.action,
type: this.method,
data: $(this).serialize(),
success: function (result) {
if (result.success) {
$('#myModal').modal('hide');
$('#progress').hide();
//location.reload();
alert('www');
} else {
$('#progress').hide();
$('#myModalContent').html(result);
bindForm();
}
}
});
}
else {
return false;
}
});
}
Now when i click on the Create link the Create action method that will return the following partial view, which will be rendered inside a modal popup :-
#model SkillManagement.Models.Staff
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Create";
}
<h2>Create</h2>
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-horizontal">
<h4>Staff</h4>
<hr />
#Html.ValidationSummary(true)
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.GUID, new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.GUID)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.GUID)
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.UserName, new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.UserName)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.UserName)
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.IsExternal, new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.IsExternal)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.IsExternal)
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.FirstName, new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.FirstName)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.FirstName)
</div>
</div>
//code goes here
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-default" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
till now i have every thing working well, the Get Create action method will be called and the partial view will be rendered inside a modal popup.
but now inside my partial view if i click on "Create" button , the Post create action method will be called but not due to the javascript code . and when i check Request.IsAjax() inside my Post create action method, i got that it is not an ajax request which means the partial view send a normal Post http and not ajax request as defined inside the script,, can anyone advice what is wrong in my current approach ?
Thanks

as you can see you just pass the #myModalContent node to the bindForm function, and jQuery selector looks for
// will never find #myModalContent
$('#myModalContent', myModalContentDOMElement).submit(function () {
Instead you should do something like this
$('form', dialog).submit(function (e) {
e.preventDefault(); // stop the default form submit action

You are loading your form into the page via ajax, but the form you are loading is a regular html form if you want the form itself to use ajax, I believe are looking for #Ajax.BeginForm().

#using (Ajax.BeginForm({objectparams})){
