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.

Get User Custom Field Values

This plugin provides a powerful widget, shortcode (with shortcode builder tool), and template tags for easily retrieving and displaying custom field values for the currently logged in user or any specified user. This plugin provides functionality similar to the Get Custom Field Values plugin, but for user custom fields (which WordPress manages in a separate database table). This plugin does NOT help you in setting user custom field values, nor does it provide an interface to list or otherwise manage user custom fields. The list of useful user custom field values that are provided by default in WordPress are: first_name last_name nickname description aim yim jabber It is up to other plugins or custom code to add additional user custom fields that you may then be able to retrieve with this plugin. Links: Plugin Homepage | Plugin Directory Page | GitHub | Author Homepage Developer Documentation Developer documentation can be found in DEVELOPER-DOCS.md. That documentation covers the numerous template tags, hooks, and shortcode provided by the plugin. As an overview, these are the template tags provided the plugin: c2c_get_current_user_custom() : Template tag to get custom fields for the currently logged in user. c2c_get_author_custom() : Template tag to get custom fields for the current author (when on the permalink page for a post, page, or in a loop). c2c_get_user_custom() : Template tag to get custom fields for a specified user. These are the hooks provided by the plugin: c2c_get_current_user_custom : An alternative approach to safely invoke c2c_get_current_user_custom() in such a way that if the plugin were deactivated or deleted, then your calls to the function won’t cause errors in your site. c2c_get_author_custom : An alternative approach to safely invoke c2c_get_author_custom() in such a way that if the plugin were deactivated or deleted, then your calls to the function won’t cause errors in your site. c2c_get_user_custom : An alternative approach to safely invoke c2c_get_user_custom() in such a way that if the plugin were deactivated or deleted, then your calls to the function won’t cause errors in your site. c2c_get_user_custom_field_values_shortcode : Filter to customize the name of the plugin’s shortcode. c2c_get_user_custom-user_field_proxy : Filter to prevent proxying to user object fields if no value for the custom field was found for the user. get_user_custom_field_values/can_author_use_shortcodes : Filter to customize if post author can make use of the ‘user_custom_field’ shortcode. get_user_custom_field_values/show_metabox : Filter to customize if the shortcode builder metabox is shown. The shortcode provided is [user_custom_field], which has a number of attributes to customize its behavior and output.
