Ok Christian, i'll try like this thank.

In the while, because you helped me in the past with the code can i take this opportunity to ask you about a toolset code integration ?

I would help to integrate a shortcode to order posts based on a custom field. I Would create a view in a location cpt to sort nearest location(s) to that.

[Christian Cox]

I'm not sure I understand, can you provide some more details about how this would work?

[Alessandro]

I have a "location" post type
I would create a view inside the location post template

This views shows the nearest location to the actual ordered by distance.
I can't see any views to choose a custom field as distance from this, so i would create an extension to this

[Christian Cox]

You can use a distance filter set by a shortcode attribute to pass in the current post's address field:

[wpv_view name="Your View Name" mapcenter="[types field='your-address-field-slug' output='raw'][/types]"]

[Alessandro]

I need to set the ordering but it shows me just 3 option (fixed, visitor location, url parameter)

For the filtering it is ok

[Alessandro]

I need to create an ordered list by distance from a custom field

[Christian Cox]

I understand better now, thank you. You would like to filter by distance and order the results by distance as well. It requires a bit of custom code, and I helped another client with a similar setup. Please review this forum ticket and let me know if you have questions about implementing this solution: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/sorting-views-by-distance-to-current-post-geolocation/

I'll be glad to give you more feedback if you have concerns.

Hi Alessandro,

Christian is currently unavailable today but he will be back tomorrow to continue assisting with this.

Thanks,

Can you share all the code you used so I can see the exact changes you made?
1. The wpv-view shortcode used to display the map
2. The toolset-maps-distance-view shortcode used to display the distance
3. The full PHP code snippet to filter wpv_view_settings

I will review the changes and give you some feedback.

Plugin:

<?php
/**
 * New custom code snippet (replace this with snippet description).
 */

toolset_snippet_security_check() or die( 'Direct access is not allowed' );

// Put the code of your snippet below this comment.

add_filter( 'wpv_view_settings', 'ts_sort_map_by_distance_from_shortcode', 99, 2 );
function ts_sort_map_by_distance_from_shortcode( $view_settings, $view_id ) {
  global $WP_Views;
  $views = array( 362 );
  if ( in_array( $view_id, $views) ) {
    $shortcode_atts = isset( $WP_Views->view_shortcode_attributes[0] ) ? $WP_Views->view_shortcode_attributes[0] : null;
    if ( isset($shortcode_atts['from_center']) ) {
      $query_center = $shortcode_atts['from_center'];
      $view_settings['distance_order'] = array(
        "source" => "fixed",
        "center" => $query_center
      );
    }
  }
  return $view_settings;
}

View:

Distanza da [wpv-post-title]: [toolset-maps-distance-value location='[wpv-attribute name="from_center"]' postmeta='wpcf-indirizzo-location']
<div class="card">
  <a href="[wpv-post-url]"><img class="card-img-top" src="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>" alt="[wpv-post-title]"></a>
    
    <div class="card-body">
      <h5 class="card-title"><a href="[wpv-post-url]">[wpv-post-title]</a></h5>
      <p class="card-text">[types field='indirizzo-location'][/types]</p>
      <p class="card-text"><small class="text-muted">[toolset-maps-distance-value origin_source='visitor_location' postmeta='wpcf-indirizzo-location'] Km</small></p>
    </div>
  </div>

Shortcode:

[wpv-view name='locali-intorno-a-questo' from_center='[wpv-post-field name=wpcf-indirizzo-location'] ']

[Christian Cox]

Hi, the locali-intorno-a-questo View shortcode seems to be formatted incorrectly, which will cause a problem with the distance calculation. Please try this change:

[wpv-view name='locali-intorno-a-questo' from_center='[wpv-post-field name="wpcf-indirizzo-location"] ']

If this does not resolve the problem, I'll be glad to take a closer look in wp-admin. Please provide login credentials here and let me know where I can see this content on the front-end of the site.
