Plugin Description
GeoMeta for ACF is an easy way to store location information about posts, pages,
users or other content types that ACF supports. The default input is a map
with drawing tools to let the user draw markers, lines and polygons.
Alternatively you can accept latitude and longitude values, or raw GeoJSON
text.
GeoMeta for ACF supports for both ACF version 4 and 5.
Why use GeoMeta for ACF instead of one of the other map inputs for ACF?
GeoMeta for ACF uses WP-GeoMeta under the hood, which means that you’re
actually storing spatial meta data, not just text. With the WP-GeoMeta library
you have access to all of the spatial functions MySQL supports to search and
filter your WordPress posts and users.
Compatibility
This ACF field type is compatible with:
Note
Metavalues for terms (Categories/Tags) were stored in wp_options up until ACF
Pro 5.5.0. GeoMeta for ACF will still display a map or other input field for
terms in previous versions of ACF, but since the values aren’t stored in the
wp_termmeta table, they won’t be picked up for inclusion in the spatial table
and spatial searches on them will fail.
Screenshots
You can select the GeoMeta field type within the ACF field group like you
would expect. You can choose one of three options for how users will enter
spatial data.
The most likely option is to display a map with drawing tools. Editors can
add, edit and delete shapes on the map.
If your users expect to be able to enter latitude and longitude, you can opt to capture those
instead. The value is saved to the postmeta table as GeoJSON.
You can also allow editors to paste in raw GeoJSON text if that better
meets your needs.
