API to create a marker

Hello @ivitae,

The locations are available via the WordPress REST API but just for reading.

Best regards,

Thanks Daniel.

A map location in my website is part of a wider object. The user should be able to add and edit these objects in a dedicated form, therefore I need some way to add and update a location via code.

Is there no way to do that ?

Hi @ivitae,

Unfortunately not. However you can try to program a custom solution. A good starting point would be the ajax_add_location_from_frontend() function in the BaseController.php.

This function handles the input coming from the “Add location” form.

Best regards,

Thanks Daniel.

Hi @ivitae,

here are some important infos if you want to create a script on your own that directly interacts with the WordPress database:

A location consists of these database entries:

• wp_posts table: An entry of post_type oum-location
• wp_postmeta table:
  • An entry with meta_key _oum_location_key containing a serialized object with details on the location
  • An entry with meta_key _oum_location_image
  • An entry with meta_key _oum_location_audio

I would recommend to inspect your database for an existing location to understand how location data is stored. After that it should be possible to write a custom script that created, updates or deletes locations.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
