thanks a lot.
That is for displaying the fields.
i would like a way for the fields to be saved on differents fields in the same form that the user will put the geo address.
They can be invisible fields to the user. I need them for the search form. I want to use a lookup field in the search form.
Let me know please if their is a way to do that.
Thanks again for your kind help.

Can you drop those same shortcodes into the form fields where you wish to collect the data within your form?

Nicolas Stergio replied 1 year ago

i do not understand what or how to do that?

Nicolas Stergio replied 1 year ago

and what kind of shortcodes...????

Bobby Clapp replied 1 year ago

If your address field is ID 60. Add a new field, hidden or whatever you want, and drop in the default value as [60 show="line1"]. Does that grab line 1 from the address field and drop it into the new field?

Unfortunately no. i also ask the support if that is possible and the say no. Any other way maybe? Thanks a lot for your time to help.

[frm-field-value field_id=xxx show=country]

What is your work flow or reasoning for seperating the fields?  You’re not using the standard address field I assume?  You just have multiple text fields?

You basically want geolocation to work in each seperate field?

hello i use the geolocation for address. I want to be able to do a search for those fields. I have an international directory. i want to be able to search for country state and city.
that it is possible with the address because all the data is in one field.
If choose the country i want to be able to check for states or cities in other countries that do not have states.
Thanks for asking.
