Feature Freeze Accordion Fix Yesterday evening I was looking over our app and found that one of our features had stopped working. On the add fixtures page we used to have an accordion box, which when clicked would open up to reveal all the fixtures that had been added already.

Fixing Weather and Permission Based Views Weather I managed to fix the issue I was having with weather this morning. Again the issue was to do with the asynchronous rendering, so I added in a conditional render that checked if the location was set before passing it to the weather class.
