Creating locations using separate form plugin ( e.g. formidable)

Hi,

Further investigation made me find the reason for this. In Events-manager.js there is a script at around line 540 .

if( jQuery( "#em-location-data input#location-name" ).length > 0 ){
		jQuery( "#em-location-data input#location-name" ).autocomplete({
			source: EM.locationajaxurl,
			minLength: 2,
			focusout: function( event, ui ){
				jQuery("input#location-id" ).val( ui.item.value );
				return false;
			},
			select: function( event, ui ){
				jQuery("input#location-id" ).val(ui.item.id).trigger('focusout');

As you can see from this line I changed the triggers from ‘.change’ to ‘focusout’ so that the function runs when the user clicks away from the field.

Then I combined it with this that I placed in my functions.php

function Select_location_field() {
    echo "<script>jQuery(document).ready(function(){

        jQuery('#location-address').on( 'focus', function( event ) {
            console.log('debug: on change fired!');
        });

        jQuery('#location-address').focus();

    });</script>";
}
add_action( 'admin_head-post.php', 'Select_location_field' );

that function automatically highlights the text in #location-address field as soon as when the edit location admin screen is opened. When I click away the script runs and the map generates. Then of course I press save.

Im wondering is there a way to make that script run automatically when a post is created outside of the admin screen?

Sorry for the large amount of replies, honestly i am not trying to bump this up.

On the website for the form plugin there is a action hook that runs a function after the form is made. http://formidablepro.com/knowledgebase/action-hooks/frm_after_create_entry/#kb-insert-form-data-into-second-database-table

Each item_meta represents a field in the form. If I was to use this filter to insrt the values directly into the wp_em_locations, will the latitude/longitude calculation and map generation activate?

add_action('frm_after_create_entry', 'copy_into_my_table', 20, 2);
function copy_into_my_table($entry_id, $form_id){
  if($form_id == 4){ //change 4 to the form id of the form to copy
    global $wpdb;
    $values = array('col_name1' => $_POST['item_meta'][25], 'col_name2' => $_POST['item_meta'][26]);
    //replace 25 and 26 with the field ids of the Formidable form. Change col_name to the column names in your table
    $wpdb->insert('table_name', $values);
  }
}

If you cannot help me with this ( because it is another plugin) can you ignore this post in particular and help me with question above?

Thanks 🙂
