Directory address listing

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 15

When adding a new directory, there’s no field for the venue address. In the post template there’s a section included for a Google Map but the map doesn’t show on the directory posts because there’s no field to input an address while creating the directory. I looked in the theme panel and cannot find a way to change. Am I missing something simple?

Hello @CreekWalker7291!

Do you mean this: https://app.screencast.com/IXCiC5FbnAV6M ?
Check the screenshot and you can find in that form a field that you can embed a html map as well with the right location.
There is a custom field called Location and you can add the iframe when you edit the listing in Gutenberg. For example: https://app.screencast.com/uN5p9qoOTv3d6
This iframe can be found when you access the Google Maps, find the right location, click on share -> Embed a map and copy the html: https://app.screencast.com/sxhzahq3C7FHo

Thank you!

I’m sorry; I wasn’t specific enough. The location/address field is there when adding a directory from the front-end (as in your first screenshot)…but it’s not there when editing a directory (in Gutenberg) or when adding from the back-end (also in Gutenberg). I should add that I’m attempting to use it as it was imported from the East Coast Check prebuilt demo.

Also, is there a way to have the data entered in the location field to display on the directory page as text data (in addition to the map) so the address doesn’t have to be added a second time in a separate field?

Hello @CreekWalker7291!

You should have a Google Maps API key. Please follow this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/use-google-maps-api/
As an free alternative, you can select Bing in the shortcode. Please follow this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/use-bing-maps-api/
Yes. You can display the address by using this custom field: https://app.screencast.com/3NUikCmaQmSRB

Thank you!
