    Hello,

    I’m about to write a GooglePlaces Importer. When adding a place in the backend, a MetaBox is displayed with an Autocomplete field that searches Google Places. As soon as I select a location, the fields are filled out automatically. It’ll be all right.

    The image URLs are in an array. But I can’t manage to add the pictures with upload.
    Do you have any advice for me?

    My Array with the URLs:

    

    
data2['photos'] = new Array;
for (i = 0; i < place.photos.length; i++) {
   data2['photos'][i] = place.photos[i].getUrl({'maxWidth': 1200, 'maxHeight': 1200});
}

    

    I already tried this, but it didn’t worked out:
    

    

    
jQuery('#post_images').val(data2['photos']);plu_show_thumbs('post_images');

    

    Is there any other Trick to make it run?

    Hi Thommy,
    

    If i remember correctly all u have to do is update the value of #post_images input with a comma separated list of image url’s, if they are external images they will be imported.
    

    We did look at doing something like this but it was against the Google T&C’s.
    

    Thanks,
    

    Stiofan
