Hi, could you please give an example, according to the following FAQ article, on how to make google maps plugin to get address, postal code and city from FC fields specified in the backend?
The purpose is that a frontend user of a business directory will fill in his item's address fields and the item's map will appear in frontend without re-entering address in the map...
If it is too complicated should I post it as a feature request?

Thank you! :roll:

Did you try using this FLEXIcontent field:

Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

Hi,

If you want to show both address and map on item view, you have to create two text fields, one for address and the other one for map.
At the moment, there is no such field that can bring value from other field. I thought this as well, maybe in near future.. ;)

Thank you both for your answer. I have already tried using both plugins:
In FC map plugin user needs to enter latitude / longitude, which is not easy to get, especially frontend users.
In Googlemaps plugin (through FC text field, according to FAQ)user needs to enter address twice for the map after they have already filled all FC address fields (street, postal code, city).
I was asking for an easier (frontend-user-friendly)solution so map plugin will get data from other fields...
