Table remain empty

Are you using ACF?

// bail early if no ACF data
if( empty($_POST[‘acf’]) ) {
return;
}

yes im using ACF, and my google map field is named address in acf.

You agree that I should let everything in the acf radius search folder even the functions.php ?

How you mean? Have you added this is a plugin? Yes the functions.php needs to be included – it contains the hook the will catch a post save, and update the address long lat in the table. ( function acf_google_maps_search_save_post( $post_id ) { )

The plugin is small – I would recommend browsing the plugin files, and taking a look.

yes ok it’s a plugin, then it’s well installed like other plugins but the table is still empty. Does it work with products ? My address field is only filled for some products, not for all… may it be the problem ?

It should work for products, since they are posts

To debug, please check that the action is firing (located in advanced-custom-fields-google-maps-search.php )

// save post
add_action(‘acf/save_post’, ‘acf_google_maps_search_save_post’, 20);

Then check that this function has the correct data (located in functions.php)

function acf_google_maps_search_save_post( $post_id ) {

// bail early if no ACF data
if( empty($_POST[‘acf’]) ) {
return;
}

$address = get_field( ‘address’, $post_id );

if( $address ){

$acf_gms = new acf_gms;

$data = [
‘post_id’ => $post_id,
‘lng’ => $address[‘lng’],
‘lat’ => $address[‘lat’],
];

$acf_gms->save( $data );
}

}

i’m sorry but how could I check if the action is firing ?

You can perform the action on the front end (ie save the post), and add a var_dump + exit in the php function (acf_google_maps_search_save_post) to see if the browser displays the var_dump.

This plugin is intended for developers only

I modify the following code, it’s showing nothing special

function acf_google_maps_search_save_post( $post_id ) {

   // bail early if no ACF data
   if( empty($_POST['acf']) ) {
	   return;
   }	
   

	$address = get_field( 'address', $post_id );
	
	if( $address ){
			
		$acf_gms = new acf_gms;	
		
		$data = [
			'post_id'	=> $post_id,
			'lng'		=> $address['lng'],
			'lat'		=> $address['lat'],
		];
		var_dump($address); exit;
		$acf_gms->save( $data );		
		
	}
   

}

Try this first. If no var dump, then you know the hook is not firing.

function acf_google_maps_search_save_post( $post_id ) {

var_dump($address); exit;

// bail early if no ACF data
if( empty($_POST['acf']) ) {
return;
}

$address = get_field( 'address', $post_id );

if( $address ){

$acf_gms = new acf_gms;

$data = [
'post_id' => $post_id,
'lng' => $address['lng'],
'lat' => $address['lat'],
];

$acf_gms->save( $data );

}

}

Sorry I mean this:

function acf_google_maps_search_save_post( $post_id ) {

echo ‘test’; exit;

// bail early if no ACF data
if( empty($_POST[‘acf’]) ) {
return;
}

$address = get_field( ‘address’, $post_id );

if( $address ){

$acf_gms = new acf_gms;

$data = [
‘post_id’ => $post_id,
‘lng’ => $address[‘lng’],
‘lat’ => $address[‘lat’],
];

$acf_gms->save( $data );

}

}

“test is displayed.

and with var_dump :

Notice: Undefined variable: address in C:\wamp64\www\wp-content\plugins\acf-google-maps-radius-search\functions.php on line 3
C:\wamp64\www\wp-content\plugins\acf-google-maps-radius-search\functions.php:33:null

Ok, since test is displayed, it shows that the function is firing when you save a product.

So I’m afraid I’ll have to leave the rest to you to debug. Maybe $_POST[‘acf’] is empty

yes, when I try do display $_POST[‘acf’] I get

Notice: Undefined index: acf in C:\wamp64\www\wp-content\plugins\acf-google-maps-radius-search\functions.php on line 33

I don’t know why…

Not sure. Try commenting this if statement

function acf_google_maps_search_save_post( $post_id ) {

// bail early if no ACF data
//if( empty($_POST[‘acf’]) ) {
//return;
//}

$address = get_field( ‘address’, $post_id );

if( $address ){

$acf_gms = new acf_gms;

$data = [
‘post_id’ => $post_id,
‘lng’ => $address[‘lng’],
‘lat’ => $address[‘lat’],
];

$acf_gms->save( $data );

}

}

ok when commenting, a line is added to the table !

but the older posts that have an address are not inserted in the table (assuming that the function update_historic_post_gm_data() is supposed to do that)
