[Gelöst] Defining marker address with 2 custom fields

[Author]

Hello,

I have a map + markers inserted in a Views. I have 2 custom fields (town) (region) and would like to use the combination of these 2 custom field (town + region) to define the address for the marker.

The reason for this is that town is sometimes not sufficient to define the right location.

Is there a way to do this?

Hi Pat,

Thank you for contacting Toolset Support.

I will be happy to help you with your issue.

I would suggest creating an ‘address’ custom field to contain the combined or full address that you would want to pass to the map marker.

You can achieve this by combining the other custom fields and saving it to one ‘address’ custom field using the 'save_post' hook.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/save_post

Example:

function save_map_marker_address() {

$post_id = get_the_ID();

$town = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'town', true );
$region = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'region', true );

$address = $town.','.$region;

update_post_meta( $post_id, 'address', $address );

}
add_action( 'save_post', 'save_map_marker_address' );

To add the map marker, in the marker settings window, select “Another custom field” for the “Marker address comes from” section, use “$parent” as the Post ID and enter the custom field key.

E.g
#hidden link

Please let me know if this fixes it.

Kind regards
