Flexiblemap address using data from custom field

  • Resolved ABCDiamond

    Is it possible to use the [flexiblemap address=”actual address”] shortcode with a custom field, as this example or similar:

    [flexiblemap address=”[cf]Street Address[/cf]“], so that Flexible map pulls the address from the custom field, instead of it being manually entered individually.

    Thanks

    G’day ABCDiamond,

    You’ll need to install / activate a plugin that reads the custom field from your post and intercepts the Flexible Map filter flexmap_shortcode_attrs to insert it into the shortcode attributes. Here’s one you can add to your plugins folder and activate.

    https://gist.github.com/webaware/9927981

    NB: that plugin looks for a custom field call “Street Address”, must match exactly.

    cheers,

    Can that code at github, just be added to CSS, rather than a plugin. As I am not sure how I turn the code into a plugin.

    Thanks

    Download that file (it’s a PHP file), and upload it to your website into the folder wp-content/plugins. Then go into the WordPress admin and activate it from the Plugins admin page.

    Also, what shortcode do I use when using that. I did have this:

    [flexiblemap address=”850 My Avenue, My City, My State” width=”100%” region=”XX”]

    What would I change it to, to get the Custom Field working instead.

    I did try[flexiblemap address=”[cf]Street Address[/cf]“], but it didn’t work, with the Github code placed in CSS.

    Shortcode:

    [flexiblemap width="100%"]

    Nothing from that gist should be copied to any CSS anywhere. That gist is PHP code. Save the content of that gist as a file called flxmap-custom-address.php and use FTP to upload it to your website, into the folder wp-content/plugins. Then find it in the plugins admin page and activate it.

    I removed it from CSS, when half of it disappeared on its own ??

    The plugin didn’t install, I got this:

    The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature.

    Did you follow the instructions above, or did you try to upload the .php file from the WordPress admin?

    Maybe it’s easiest if you just download this .zip file of the plugin, and upload it via the WordPress plugins admin:
