Hi,

i need to split my company addresses so they appear on each line... For example on hidden link this should appear so that where the commas are thats a new line. I would like this to happen for all records.

Also how do i add a prefix icon before the telephone, email and website.......

Thanks

Neil

Hi Neil,

Thank you for getting in touch.

In order to actually do this you will need a bit of custom code to split the items into a new line based on the commas.

What I did was to draft up a quick shortcode that should be able to get this done for you.

// Add Shortcode
function wp_split_address( $atts ) {

	// Attributes
	$atts = shortcode_atts(
		array(
			'address' => '',
		),
		$atts
	);

	$address = str_replace(',','<br />',$atts['address']);
	return $address;

}
add_shortcode( 'wp_split_address', 'wp_split_address' );

Add the following to your toolset custom codes in Toolset -> Settings -> Custom Code and ensure that you activate the code.

Once you have done this then you can use the shortcode like this.

[wp_split_address address="types shortcode goes here"]

Please try this and let me know if it resolves the issue for you.

Thanks,
Shane

I managed to do the easy bit and create the custom code called split_address by cannot see how to add this as a field or do i apply this to the existing multi field somehow?

Hi Neil,

The example usage can be seen below.

[wp_split_address address="types shortcode goes here"]

Where you will replace the "types shortcode goes here" with the shortcode that you are using to display your address.

Assuming that your field is an address field created in types then you would have something like this

[wp_split_address address="[types field='my-address'][/types]"]

However to be 100% sure how you are displaying the address, could you send me screenshot of the actual field on the backend as well as the template where you've added the address field ?

If you are using the types shortcode to display the address then you can use the shortcode above. If you are not then I would need to provide a guide on how you can still achieve this because the custom shortcode that I gave requires that the field is called using a shortcode.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

Getting this error.....

Snippet "split_address" has been updated.
There was error when trying to re-run the snippet:Unexpected output of the code snippet: // Add Shortcode function wp_split_address( $atts ) { // Attributes $atts = shortcode_atts( array( 'address' => '', ), $atts ); $address = str_replace(',','',$atts['address']); return $address; } add_shortcode( 'wp_split_address', 'wp_split_address' );

I also am not sure how to add this into my layout in blocks.

Appreciate your help.

Hi Neil,

It seems that there is a missing closing tag somewhere in the code.

Would you mind allowing me to have admin access to the website so that I can have a look at what was added to the custom snippets section ?

I can also set up the code so the address starts splitting for you.

The private fields will be enabled for your next response.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Neil,

Thank you for the credentials, however they don't seem to be working.

Could you check them on your end and let me know ?
