Hi geoma, no need to excuse. I think, now I got it (more or less). Your problem doesn't actually have much to do with the Leaflet module, but you struggle with the combination of...
Parent items won't show on Leaflet Widget.
Sorry for not being clear. I have this view and two exposed filters on it. I am trying to show different places on the map. These places are called "institutions". They have a...
Parent items won't show on Leaflet Widget.
Still trying to understand: you have this view and an exposed form on it, right. And you have two independent taxonomy terms and try to filter by them? Or is this a hierarchal...
Parent items won't show on Leaflet Widget.
Sorry. It is a taxonomy term.
Parent items won't show on Leaflet Widget.
Hi geoma, hm... I'm not quite sure, what "parent" means in that context. Is it a taxonomy term? Or a related node type? The map will only show geo data from the field...

Design / UX topics?
Some things that could get into the next release, if they make sense. Some of them are just ideas that need feedback.
A couple of text relelated ideas that MIGHT help make the layout system easier to use for some folks.

I don't think this one needs discussion. Just action. This has been very close to RTBC for a long time. Does anyone have any final comments? Can someone do a code review? I would really like to see this in 1.29.

Do we need a different solution that the one provided here?
Is this is an issue worth pursuing? Is there even interest in this idea?
I'd like to discuss options for moving #2231 forward. It concerns having a simplified array syntax for database details that will support complex passwords better than the current db url and simpler than the D7 way. There is a PR, but it is blocked when we get to trying to parse and write at install time. Greg (@klonos) proposed a better way of reading and writing settings.php by using token_get_all() in #6297 but that seems to have stalled. I wonder whether splitting off the task into just supporting a simplified array and documenting that it is supported without changing the install process is the way to go to get some movement on this?
