[Resolved] filter parameter being returned by shortcode

I am mapping thousands of addresses and I calculate the distance from a selected marker to all the others and then show on a map only those within (say) 300 miles of the selected marker
I use a filter: range < 300 miles, which works because I recompute the range of every marker every time a different marker is selected
However it is very slow
If instead I computed the range of each marker from the north pole I would not have to recompute the range between markers
The filter would be Range (from the north pole) of the selected marker +150 miles or -150 miles
I could perform this calculation in a PHP snippet however I would require the filter to accept the output of a shortcode as the value to select against
Is this possible?
The benefit should be a greatly reduced workload as only those markers in a 300 mile band around the world would need to be touched
Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

To suggest the best way to achieve this, I'll need to see how your existing view is set up to perform the distance-based filtration.

Can you please share temporary admin login details, along with the example page with this view?

Note: Your next reply will be private and please make a complete backup copy, before sharing the access details.
