Hi I need to save the longitude and latitude as two custom fields, as i need to use them in another process.

I can see you have them in `wp_options`.`option_name`= 'toolset_maps_address_coordinates' , but unfortunately i really need them in the wp_postmeta table with the post ID.

Is there any way to save longitude and latitude when someone selects address.

Regards
Dave

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - When you use Toolset map address field and save the address field it saves the address as text in postmeta table.

As I understand - you have Toolset map address field associated with your custom post type and when you save the post you would like to save latitude and longitude as custom field - correct?'

If you tell me from where you are adding the post I can guide you in right direction.

Hi Minesh

Yes, that is correct, I have two posts that I have addresses that I need to save longitude and latitude for, one is a form called Location and another called Inquiries, Inquiries has two addresses that I need to save the information on.

Well - you should have two custom fields - latitude and longitude to store respective latitude and longitude value from map address field. You should use WordPress native hook save_post to store the latitude and longitude values respectively.

More info:

If you do not know how to do this, I may help you to achive this but I need problem URL where of post for which post type post you would like to store latitude and longitude values respectively.
