Fantastically useful & quite versatile (if you code)

Just to update, I’ve now been able to work out how to apply the front end post solution to bbpress topics based on the example code. I won’t go in to details here but basically it means using the ‘bbp_new_topic’ action instead of the WPUF action.

Thank you so much for such detailed, positive and informative feedback. It is greatly appreciated.

This is a super powerful plugin that can be used in a simple, basic way to add searchable locations to posts (of any ‘post type’) and create custom forms …. Another great point is that the author is generally quick to respond….

– Thank you, I couldn’t summarize the plugin better than that.

– There are a few spelling errors in the phrasing of labels and things when using the plugin in the backend. This is completely understandable as (I believe) the author is not an English speaker natively so really a very minor problem but sometimes makes the plugin feel less polished.

– Ture, my English is not perfect ( my Hebrew is though ?? ) but I am doing my best to have as less Grammar/spelling errors as possible.
It would be helpful is you ( or anyone else ) could make a note whenever you see an error and email me a list when you get a chance. I will fix it right away.

– It’s difficult to implement the GMW location field on the front end (I’ve not yet got this worked out) for example when a user is creating a new bbpress topic…. I think I would’ve given a 5 star rating.

– I must disagree with that. The plugin provides a function ( gmw_pt_update_location() that does all the process of geocoding and saving a location into GEO my WP databased. You only need to pass the address and post ID to the function.
That can be easily done to every post type using the action hook save_post_{post-type-name}.
I update the function’s docs with an example ( see the first example ).
Hopefully, that will be helpful and might as well bump the rating to 5 start ?? ( that’s obviously up to you ).

I had considered sending you notes on this before but didn’t want to annoy or offend you! Now that I know you are ok with it I will do that.

You’re quite right, the functionality is there, but it can be hard (with beginner/intermediate WordPress coding skills!) to make it work, but for a more experienced coder probably very easy.

I am happy to up my star rating to a 5 because you’re very helpful and obviously want to make the plugin work well for everyone.

A future feature to consider might be to (somehow) allow the user to enable front end submission of the gmw data in an easier way (especially on bbpress posts where the users cannot edit their posts in the backend, only on the front end). Perhaps using a shortcode containing the GEOMYWP input field? And in a perfect world, enabling the field to be the same as when used on the backend, with the dropdown list to confirm the address.

Thanks again ??

I guess your right. I didn’t think from a perspective of a true begging who doesn’t know how to use hooks or PHP. But I already started working on the new docs site where I try to have the main/important functions explained together with a detailed examples.

Noted. I think I already have an idea out to implement something similar. I am about to release a beta of the next version ( major update ) so probably for the next version I’ll work on this feature. BTW, if you’d like to try the beta you can subscribe to GEO my WP newsletter on geomywp.com at the bottom and you’ll receive an email about It.

Thank you. I really didn’t mean to be “greedy” about it. 4 start is just as awesome. But thank you anyway.
