Location field for Booking details

[ChrisB]

Hey @everyone,

I’d like to essentially recreate the Location field that’s added by the Geolocation extension, and have it as a new field on the Add Details page when making a booking. The location that’s entered should then be added to the booking information presented to vendors.

I will tinker away on my own, but if anyone has achieved this themselves, or can provide any guidance on this, I’d be super grateful for your help.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi,

Thanks for the request. Please clarify why you are not using the standard location field. Also, please describe the use case in more detail regarding the addition of a new field, and we will try to provide a solution or workaround.

Hi @Andrii,

I am using the Geolocation extension to add the standard Location field to listings. I don’t want to remove this. Instead, I want to create a second Location field.

On my site, the standard field is used to enter a region/town in which Vendors offer their services. My use-case involves Vendors visiting Buyers at their home address. Therefore, Buyers need to give Vendors an address that tells them where to visit. What I’d like to do is add a second Location field on the Add Details page when creating a booking, and since the Location field seems like the best option, I’d like to ideally use it - rather than just creating a text area for Buyers to enter their address.

I hope that makes sense!

If there’s some way of turning the Geolocation extension into a selectable Attribute type, that would be ideal.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi,

Unfortunately there’s no easy way to turn Location into a selectable field type in the UI, but you can try to insert 3 attributes of location, latitude and longitude types via the hivepress/v1/models/booking/attributes hook the same way it’s done for listings in Geolocation (add_attributes function) hivepress-geolocation/includes/components/class-geolocation.php at master · hivepress/hivepress-geolocation · GitHub
