Reply To: Geocode inside a CustomPostType

[Chris]

Hi Connie,

The plugin doesn’t have any functionality to add geocoders in post editors.

But if you’re using MapPress to generate maps from the address, it is already geocoding each address into a lat/lng. With some PHP code you could capture those values and save them to custom fields.

I haven’t tested this code but it might help to get you started:

<?php
function mysave($post_ID, $post) {
  // Get the first map & first poi for this post
  $maps = get_post_map_list($post->ID);

  // Get first map and its first poi
  if (!empty($maps) && !empty($map[0]->pois)) {
	  $poi = $map[0]->pois[0];
      update_post_meta($post->ID, 'my_lat', $poi->point['lat']);
      update_post_meta($post->ID, 'my_lng', $poi->point['lng']);
  }
}

add_action('save_post', array(&$this, 'save_post'), 110, 2);
