Problem: I have two address fields, one in a parent post type and one in a child post type. When a new child post is created, I would like to calculate the distance between the two addresses and save that distance in another custom field in the child post type.
Solution: You can use the cred_submit_complete hook to trigger custom code with the shortcode toolset-maps-distance-value to calculate the distance between two addresses. Use the update_post_meta function to store that distance in another custom field.
add_action('cred_submit_complete', 'tssupp_calc_parent_child_distance',10,2);
function tssupp_calc_parent_child_distance($post_id, $form_data)
{
$forms = array(123, 456);
$relationship_slug = 'book-chapter';
$parent_address_slug = 'book-address-1';
$child_address_slug = 'chapter-address-1';
$child_distance_slug = 'chapter-single-line-1';
$unit = 'km';
$decimals = 2;
// if a specific form
if ( in_array( $form_data['id'], $forms ) )
{
$related_post = toolset_get_related_post( $post_id, $relationship_slug, 'parent' );
if( $related_post ) {
$child_location = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-'.$child_address_slug, true );
$parent_location = get_post_meta( $related_post, 'wpcf-'.$parent_address_slug, true );
if( $child_location && $parent_location ) {
$distance = do_shortcode("[toolset-maps-distance-value location='" . $child_location . "' postmeta='wpcf-". $parent_address_slug . "' postmeta_id='" . $related_post . "' unit='" . $unit . "' decimals='" . $decimals . "']");
update_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-'.$child_distance_slug, $distance );
}
}
}
}
