    Hi,

    I have imported a number of Latitude and a number of Longitude numbers. Latutude goes into a field called poi_location-latitude and Longitude goes into poi_location-longitude. I have a number of Map plugins that I would like to feed these values to. Normally, they want the values in the format of “Longitude, Latitude” with the comma inbetween the values. How do I creat this so that I can get this combined field dynamically as one field? I have benn fiddeling with both POD Templates and with Creating a new read-only Field with the Advanced/Values/Set Default Value via Parameter, where the second would be smoothest, but not succeeded. Any help pointing me in the right direction, or supplying a working solution, would be much appreciated.

    Thank you for a fantastic product.

    See the get_{meta_type}_metadata filter. For example:

    <?php

/**
 * Cause get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'lat-lng', true ) to return the comma-separated combination of poi_location-latitude and poi_location-longitude.
 */
add_filter(
	'get_post_metadata',
	function( $check, $object_id, $meta_key ) {

		if ( 'lat-lng' === $meta_key ) {
			return sprintf(
				'%s,%s',
				(float) get_post_meta( $object_id, 'poi_location-latitude', true ),
				(float) get_post_meta( $object_id, 'poi_location-longitude', true )
			);
		}

		return $check;
	},
	10,
	3
);

/**
 * Output post meta 'lat-lng' with shortcode [lat-lng].
 */
add_shortcode(
	'lat-lng',
	function(){
		return get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'lat-lng', true );
	}
);

    Latitude always comes before longitude. Usage would be either shortcode [lat-lng] or PHP get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'lat-lng', true )
