Hello! I am working on a client's membership website. On this site, we need to display a map with markers on it. Any logged-in person can create a (custom) post and add a marker on this map, which will link to that custom post.  We also need to allow people looking at the map the option of filtering the markers by date range., as each marker is associated with a date (inputted when creating the custom post).
How do you recommend we set that up using Toolset?

Hi Rashmi,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Based on what I see you are doing I would recommend taking a look at this documentation below.
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/displaying-a-list-of-posts-on-a-map/

For the creation of the posts I'm assuming that this will be done on the frontend. In such a case I would recommend setting the post creation up in our Forms plugin.

However before you setup the forms and maps, you will first need to have installed atleast Toolset Forms, Blocks, Maps and Types.

You will need to setup the Custom fields that you will require to be on the Post in Types, remember you need to add the address field to the Custom Post type. From there you just need to create the form which will autopopulate with the appropriate custom fields based on the created fields that was assigned to the post type.

Finally just follow the instructions in the link above and you should be able to get this up and running.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
