Google Places Autocomplete

    I’ve made a custom field for users place (Google Places API).

    So when the user type “Pari” there’s a dropdown menu showing “Paris, France” and “Paris, Texas” (among others). I click “Paris, Texas” on the drop down menu.

    So far so good.

    But when I view the submitted post (with the auto-display content with the %%custom_value%% markup) it only returns “Pari” (or whatever I typed before clicking the dropdown menu).

    I want the post to show “Paris, Texas”

    PS. Outside the scope of this plugin; how would I have the “Paris, Texas” output the Place ID? That way it would be searcable with the Google maps API (I assume?).

    The custom field provided by the free version of USP accepts only one text input. It does not yet support multiple/select values. At least, at think that might be the issue here, based on what you have reported. Let me know if that is not correct, or if any further questions, infos, etc.

    The autocomplete gives me a list of choices. When I pick one it doesn’t show up in the post, only the partial string, ie the letters I typed before I picked the choice:

    I type Pari and the autocomplete list gives me several options. I pick Paris, Texas.
    I post it and look at the post. It only says Pari.

    Do you mean that the payed version of USP will instead show “Paris, Texas” in the post?

    Yeah that’s weird, I have not heard of anything like that before. Are you getting any error messages or any clues as to what might be causing it?
