chrishanratty Hi, Great plugin, I am loving it a lot. Thanks so much. I have a question about the google maps field. I need to store the address, not just the coordinates of the location. So that the address and corresponding map can be displayed in the post. Any ideas how I can do this. I could just store the address in a custom text field, and use another plugin to display the map, but I really like the map in the add post front-end. Is there a way to enter the address in a custom field, then have it pass the data to the google map field? Or is there a way to store both the address and the co-ordinates in the google map field? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thats brilliant. I added this code as advised;

function wpufe_inesrt_address( $post_id ) {
if ( isset( $_POST[‘find-address’] ) ) {
update_post_meta( $post_id, ‘address’, $_POST[‘find-address’] );
}
}
add_action( ‘wpuf_add_post_after_insert’, ‘wpufe_inesrt_address’ );
add_action( ‘wpuf_edit_post_after_update’, ‘wpufe_inesrt_address’ );

and it works great. 🙂 🙂 🙂

One last little thing?

Is there a way that I can populate the “find-address” field from the value stored in on the ‘address’ field when the form loads in post-edit mode?

That would be the finishing touch.

Many Thanks for your speedy response.

Well, populating the address field isn’t possible, as this was not meant for updating address. Its for finding a location only.

Ok. I will try to work around that. Thanks for your help.
