Hello,

I normally will use CPT UI combined with Advanced Custom Fields and then display the output using Anywhere Elementor. That's my plan on this latest project but I need to display my custom posts on a searchable map which is why I purchased Toolset.

My question is this. Do I need to use Toolsets custom fields and build everything in Toolset using 100% of your plugins in order to achieve the searchable map functionality that I'm looking for? Or can I build everything out the way I normally do and use the Toolset stuff for just the map search portion? I'm watching the tutorials now and I've already built out the framework the way I normally do (CPT UI, ACF, Anywhere Elementor) but I'm curious if I need to scrap all of that. Thanks !

Thanks,
Brad

Hi Brad,

Thank you for getting in touch.

No you don't need to build out everything from scratch again. You can search use Toolset to search through the ACF fields.

If you are experiencing any issues with this I will be more than happy to assist however for the most part it should work fine.

Are your address fields stored in ACF ? If so then the map markers will only work with our Toolset address field so you will need to recreate this field in our Toolset plugin if you want to search by location.

Thanks,
Shane

So how would I use all of my ACF stuff and then only add the Toolset Address Field to enable search by that?
