[Resolved] View filter by distance

I am trying to filter a view based on distance from the parent post.

eg1. hidden link
eg2. hidden link

The parent post is CPT 'Location' and the list items are CPT 'Listing'

Each Listing and Location has a custom field for Address which stores the address in the format {lat,long}

As you can see below each Listing I can display the locations in the text using shortcode:
Parent: [types field="post-lat-long" item="$current_page" format="FIELD_LATITUDE,FIELD_LONGITUDE"][/types]
Self: [types field="post-lat-long"][/types]
Distance: [toolset-maps-distance-value location='[types field="post-lat-long" item="$current_page" format="FIELD_LATITUDE,FIELD_LONGITUDE"][/types]' postmeta='wpcf-post-lat-long']

Unfortunately I cannot find a shortcode that will work in the Query Filter for Distance in the classic view editor.

I was unable to create or save a Distance filter in the block editor view so I had to revert to classic.

I also get the error 'Only lowercase letters and numbers allowed as shortcode attributes' when trying to change the shortcode for the distance filter in classic view (see screenshot).

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Can you please tell me what view you created and where you added that view and share admin access details.

Please share problem URL and tell me what results you want to filter.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

I've added the view you created using the "Fields and Text" block as given under to the content template:
=> hidden link

[wpv-view name="listings-near-this-location" location="[types field='post-lat-long' item='$current_page' format='FIELD_LATITUDE,FIELD_LONGITUDE'][/types]"]

I've also changed the "Query Filter" for your view as given under:
=> hidden link

Show posts within 5km radius of address/coordinates provided using location shortcode attribute.

Screenshot: hidden link

Can you please confirm it works as expected?

That does seem to work! Thanks for your help. It obviously didn't like me putting the shortcode directly into the query filter.

How can I add a sort by distance to the view shortcode?
