Any news about to add this type of field?

Thanks in advance

Fede

First sorry, because im so late 😀 with my answer.

The idea is this, when you add a Google Map field you obtain to spaces (fields) the first one is the address and the second one is the map itself, where yo see (realtime) the change you made in the address field and also the pointer.

Then you have a magic way function to put that map in the front end avoiding all the google nonsense 😀

I hope this help

Thanks in advance.

This is a simple solution to put google maps in your admin panel. User can drag the marker and the position will be saved in latLang custom field:

piklist('field',array(
    'type'=>'html',
    'label' => 'Map',
    'value' => '<div id="project_map" style="height:500px;"></div>',

));

piklist('field',array(
    'type'=>'hidden',
    'field'=>'latLang'

));

<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false"></script>
<script>

    var map;
    var marker
    var latLangField = jQuery('#_post_meta_latLang_0');
    var zoom = 15;
    var latLang = latLangField.val();    
    if(latLang == '') {
        latLang = "54.470636, 18.469391";
        zoom = 8;
    } 
    latLang = latLang.split(',');
    
    
    function initialize() {
        
        
        var mapOptions = {
            zoom:zoom,
            center: new google.maps.LatLng(latLang[0],latLang[1])
        }
        map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('project_map'),mapOptions);
        
        marker = new google.maps.Marker({
            draggable: true,
            position: new google.maps.LatLng(latLang[0],latLang[1]), 
            map: map,
            title: "Your location"
        });
        
        google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'dragend', function (event) {
            var lat = this.getPosition().lat();
            var lang = this.getPosition().lng();
            latLangField.val(lat+','+lang);
        });
        
    }
    google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
    
   
    
</script>
<?php

You will have to change ‘#_post_meta_latLang_0’ to the ID of your hidden field.

WOW, thanks, i gonna try it later
