ACF

This plugin creates a new field for Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) extending the functionality of the built-in Google Map field with several handy features: Saves map center. You can center your maps wherever you want and indicate that you want to save that place as map center. This can be handy, if you want your front-end map to show some specific place in the center of the map (not necessary the location marker). Saves zoom level. Disables (optionally) map zooming with a scrollwheel. Sometimes you can get annoyed with your maps starting to zoom, when you scroll the post in the admin area. This feature comes handy here. Shows location coordinates. It is easy to get any place’s location coordinates (latitude and longitude) with this plugin by setting a marker to the place you need using user friendly map interface. Compatible with the data format of the Google Map field coming with ACF. See F.A.Q. for details. Saves all maps shown at a page in the global array. This is a bonus for programmers. See F.A.Q. for details. The plugin makes use of the Google Maps API version 3. The plugin doesn’t use an API key and is therefore operating under the restrictions of the free Google Maps API, which should be more than enough for most websites. Compatibility This ACF field type is compatible with: ACF 4 ACF 5 (PRO version) Google Map field coming with ACF 4/5. See F.A.Q. Translations The plugin is translated to: French German Netherlands Russian Ukrainian There is a POT file under the lang directory holding all translation strings, so it should be pretty easy to translate to other languages.

CiviCRM Profile Sync

WordPress Integration At its simplest, the CiviCRM Profile Sync plugin keeps the “First Name”, “Last Name”, “Nickname”, “Email Address” and “Website” fields of a WordPress User Profile in sync with their corresponding fields in a CiviCRM Contact. The synchronisation takes place regardless of whether the changes are made in WordPress or CiviCRM. BuddyPress Integration The plugin also supports syncing the “First Name” and “Last Name” fields of the WordPress User and CiviCRM Contact with BuddyPress when using the BP xProfile WordPress User Sync plugin. Further integration with BuddyPress is in the pipeline. ACF Integration CiviCRM Profile Sync enables integration between CiviCRM Entities and WordPress Entities with data synced via Advanced Custom Fields. Whilst ACF integration is not complete in its coverage of the CiviCRM Entities that can be linked, it is fairly comprehensive in its mapping of the built-in CiviCRM Custom Field Types with their corresponding ACF Field Types. So if, for example, you want to display (or create) a Contact Type on your WordPress site with ACF Fields that contain synced CiviCRM data, this feature could work for you. Please refer to the ACF Integration Documentation for details. Form-building with ACF Extended CiviCRM Profile Sync enables Forms to be built for the front-end of your website with the UI provided by the ACF Extended plugin. These Forms can send their data directly to CiviCRM in a similar (though more limited) way to Caldera Forms CiviCRM. Form building with ACF Extended is currently limited to submitting data for Contacts, Participants, Activities and Cases. This does, however, provide enough functionality to build some fairly powerful and useful Forms. Please refer to the ACFE Form-building Documentation for details. Requirements This plugin recommends a minimum of WordPress 4.9 and CiviCRM 5.23. It also requires BuddyPress 3.0 and the BP XProfile WordPress User Sync plugin for syncing “First Name” and “Last Name” with BuddyPress profiles. Plugin Development This plugin is in active development. For feature requests and bug reports (or if you’re a plugin author and want to contribute) please visit the plugin’s GitHub repository.
