Hey Guys,
first never ever seen such great plugin like yours! thumbup.
Second, I hope this is the right section otherwise sorry and move 🙂

I’m trying to do a get request while pre_save_post. Sometimes it works, mosttime not.

Some src:

function my_pre_save_post( $post_id )
{
	
	if($post_id !== 'new_post')
	{ 
		return $post_id;	
	}
	
	$title = $_POST['fields']['field_5984a6941d5e9'];
	
	$post = array(
		'ID'	=>	$title,
		'post_status' => 'publish',
		'post_type' => 'kunden_type',
		'post_title'	=> $title,
	);	
	
	$post_id = wp_insert_post($post); 

	$data = sanitize_title($_POST['fields']['field_5984a79b1d5ee']) . "+" . $_POST['fields']['field_598e3e3921695'] . "+" . $_POST['fields']['field_5984b0661d5ef'];

	$baseurl = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=' . $data;

	$response = wp_remote_get($baseurl, array('timeout' => 5));
	
	if($response['response']['code'] == 200)
	{
		$api_response = json_decode(wp_remote_retrieve_body($response), true);

		update_field('field_59905f6f6027d', $api_response['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lat'], $post_id);
		update_field('field_599060066027e', $api_response['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lng'], $post_id);
	}
	/*
	$ch = curl_init();
   	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $baseurl);
   	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   	$geoloc = json_decode(curl_exec($ch), true);
	*/
	
	return $post_id;
}

I also tryed curl but its the same result.
If it fails(?) no post created
If it succeded a post created and lat /lng are placed

Is it cause some async stuff?

Any chance of posting the complete snippet? I’m not skilled at anything apart from making mistakes…

This looks to me like it might do what I’m hoping… At the moment I have front-end forms that can create and submit custom posts. I’m using formidable forms for the form part.

At the moment, when a post is created this way I am forced to have it submit as a draft post, because the google map field will be empty.

When users input their address in the form, isn’t geocoded – no lat/lng – so the map doesn’t exist until I open a post and trigger the map, then save it.

This looks like it might find the lat/lng when the post is created. Is that right?
