Tell us what you are trying to do?
Hi,
I want to display map using address filed for the parent post type in email notification after submitting a form. For now the location is displayed as number I want to display it as a map.

Hi Nabils,

Thank you for getting in touch.

How is the child form added to the page? Is it being clicked to from the parent ? for e.g a button that says " Create Child Post "?

And is it that you just simply want to display the parent Address on the child form?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Shane

Yes it is a link from parent page that create child post. For now I can display the parent address on the child form. However, I want to display the address since it is a location as map.
Do I have to create view to display address as map and how to do that?

Hi Nabils,

Since you are displaying the parent address on the child form then all you need to do is add the map.
Could you send me the shortcode that you are using to display the address on the child form ?

I should be able to just provide you with the code to get this to display on the map.

Thanks,
Shane

The type shortcode I am using is [types field='property_location' item='@property-application.parent'][/types]

Hi Nabils,

You should be able to do it like this.

[wpv-map-render map_id="map-5"][/wpv-map-render]

[wpv-map-marker map_id='map-5' marker_id='marker-5' marker_field="[types field='property_location' item='@property-application.parent'][/types]"][/wpv-map-marker]

Please try this and let me know if it helps.
Thanks,
Shane

I already used the map in the website and it is working fine. However, when I try to use it in notification email when submitting child edit form it will not be shown. I tried your code but it is still not working.

Hi Nabils,

If its for the notification email then no it is not possible to do.

You cannot add the map itself to the notification email.

Thanks,
Shane
