Is it possible to only accept a full address, not regions on Google Map

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to configure my address input field to require a full address instead of allowing Users to select general regions or areas.

Solution: This type of Places Autocomplete customization would require custom code, as the configurations are not exposed in the Types or CRED GUI.

Tell us what you are trying to do?

Is it possible to limit Google Places autocomplete on a CRED form to full street addresses only, and not suburbs, cities, regions etc. I know this is possible to do if you are hardcoding it. But is it possible through Toolset?

Hi, unfortunately there is not a good way to provide those types of configurations for an address field using the CRED or Types GUI. It would require custom code using JavaScript to modify the parameters of the Autocomplete field generated for the address custom field.

Hi Christian

Thanks. I'm guessing that's outside the scope of this support forum. I'll have to try figure it out.

Thanks
Gavin

hi gavinS-2
Did you figure out how to do this?
It looks like a standard part of the Google Places API. Standard option in some other plugins.

Would appreciate any pointers from your experience.
