Shortcode for location

Hi,
please note that this thread was related to the Maps and Locations extension (against the forum rules though), in order to be able to use the code i pasted there you would need to have the MAL extension https://wpadverts.com/extensions/maps-and-locations/ installed and configured.

Hi,
yes, this is possible only with the Maps and Locations extension only, sorry.

I mean, it is also possible to custom code something like that, but doing so (most likely) would be more expensive than getting the Pro package.

One other option would be to change the my_custom_shortcode_param function from the linked thread to

function my_custom_shortcode_param($args, $params) {
    if(!empty($params["_location"])) {
        $args["meta_query"][] = array(
            'key'=>'adverts_location', 
            'value'=>$params["_location"], 
            'compare'=>'LIKE'
        );
    }
    return $args;
}

Then use [adverts_list] as [adverts_list _location='my location'] where ‘my location’ is a part (or whole location) user entered in the Location field when posting an Ad.

For example, if you have an Ad with Location “New York” then using the shortcode as [adverts_list _location="York"] should show this Ad.

So this is possible without the MAL but will not be as accurate as when using the location taxonomy.
