GeoDirectory SupportOption to enable change adress by draging the PIN on map – GeoDirectory Support https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/option-to-enable-change-adress-by-draging-the-pin-on-map/feed Wed, 25 Feb 2026 12:08:03 +0000 http://bbpress.org/?v=2.5.14-6684 en-US https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/option-to-enable-change-adress-by-draging-the-pin-on-map/#post-5278 <![CDATA[Option to enable change adress by draging the PIN on map]]> https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/option-to-enable-change-adress-by-draging-the-pin-on-map/#post-5278 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 14:23:53 +0000 Roger What do you people think about an option for admins to enable overwrite the adress by dragging the map pin in frontend.

If Admin enable this function in backend, the frontend user will see a checkbox below the adressfield which says:

Override my specified address with returned by google API when i click on set address on map or drag marker

Checkbox is enabled by default. If its disabled, the adress and the pin could be different then.

You do not have to specify your address if you don’t want, you can just drag the pin and it will fill in your address.
Just amend the front-end description text in the address field from “Please enter listing address. eg. : 230 Vine Street” to “You can either enter your address and Click to set Address, or you can just drag the marker to the address.”

Let me know if I misunderstood.

The option is below the adress field.

If the user is disableing it, the adress wont be overwrite by the dragged pin. Adress and pin location could be different then.

In general this feature can be enabled or disabled in backend, to decide if the user can have this feature in frontend. If this feature will be disabled from admin in backend, the default feature is: “adress overwrite by dragged pin”.

So what about:

Go to the default address custom field and disable “show in sidebar”.
Then add a textarea custom field that allows users to add any address they like.
That would accomplish what you want?
Except that the infowindow of the map marker still shows the map address.

Look on my test site:

I have a biergarden page, sometimes the adress is different than the biergardenposition – mostly nonameroads, or in the forrest.

But mostly its in the right place. To use your solution means I disable completely my google api generated adresses.

The other solution is an option for the user to use or not to use it. Also means independend from Google API…

We were undecided on which would be the best way to go.

An admin setting that would rule for all, or a checkbox below the address to allow users to control it.

Please everyone reading this post, let us know your thoughts and we will proceed accordingly.

Thanks

please do the effort of reading posts if you want to give a contribution…

We were undecided on which would be the best way to go.

1) An admin setting that would rule for all

or

2) a checkbox below the address to allow users to control it.

+1 to which option???

Thank you
