I’m making a custom record template. It will be showing a Google map using your address field.

Also at a different position in the same record I would like to show only the street address, city, state and country etc without the map underneath.

How can I achieve this? Thanks for your help

You can use something like this

echo $item->field_by_id[10]->value['address']['city'];

And other address elements. Just make

var_dump($item->field_by_id[10]->value)

to see all available array keys.

I’m sorry but it doesn’t work. Nothing is showing.

Here is how I show the complete map – it works fine:

fields_by_id[23]->result; ?>

So to show just the text I put this:

fields_by_id[23]->value['city']['state']['country']; ?>

but it doesn’t work.

['city']['state']['country'] will not work. It is 2 level array with first indes address and then other indexes.

echo $item->field_by_id[23]->value['address']['city'];

echo $item->field_by_id[23]->value['address']['state'];

echo $item->field_by_id[23]->value['address']['country'];

Hi Sergey

For the instance in the record which shows the Google map, is there a way to remove the location text (city, state, country) from the top?

If I turn off “Who can see address” in the settings, it also turns it off for list view which I do not want.

I looked at the other address elements using: - var_dump($item->field_by_id[10]->value) but I cannot see how to only show the map.

Thanks for your help

You cannot show only map from value. Value contain latitude and longitude only. And result contain HTML of the map. You can only make it by hiding address part in parameters.

Below is the screenshot. I need to remove the location text circled in red at the top.

I can turn off “Who can see address” in the settings, but it also turns it off for list view. I still need it for list view.

Hi Sergey, sorry to bother you with this again.

I know that if I turn off display of location text in ‘geo field’ > Address display > Who can view address> no one, then it does not show above the map.

I can then use your answer above to show only the location text in the other place in the custom ‘full’ record template as well as the ‘list’ custom template.

But when I switch the text off in the geo field parameters, the text only view in the custom templates changes.

The country name changes to the abbreviated version. For example “Fremont, California, United States” changes to “Fremont, California, US”.

It’s the same for other countries. The full country name is no longer showing, only the abbreviation.

Is there a way to make it show the full country name?

FOr every address element you have parameter where to show it. Hide it in full view.

Yes but if I hide the address fields (using the settings in your screenshot above) it also does not work for the custom display I created in the record view using your code:

fields_by_id[23]->value['address']['city']; ?>,

fields_by_id[23]->value['address']['state']; ?>,

fields_by_id[23]->value['address']['country']; ?>

Instead I have to switch it off at ‘Address display’ > Who can view address. Then your code works but the country full name changes to 2 letters. For example - US instead of United States)

I just need to know how to show the full country name when I use your code to display the address.

Field value does not depends on any parameter. If it is there it is there. ->value have to have it always if data was saved. No matter what parameters.

Anyway to cet name of the country you have to use special method

echo $this->_getcountryname($country_code)

Hi Sergey, I tried this:

_getcountryname($item->fields_by_id[23]->value['address']['country']); ?>

but it does not work, it just makes a mess of the template. I'm afraid I do not know enough about php to figure it out myself.

What does it say? What errors?

May be $item->fields_by_id[23]->value['address']['country'] is empty?

Hi Sergey

Here are the errors from the error log in the web root. The first 4 appear hundreds of times in the error log so they are there all the time, even when I use the Cobolt default record template. The last one says “Call to undefined method CobaltViewRecord::_getcountryname()”

I see. I am sorry I was not clear how to use that function.

fields_by_id[23]->_getcountryname($item->fields_by_id[23]->value['address']['country']); ?>

But edit geo.php field file and change protected to public in line 1079

The code and the edit to the geo.php field worked great. Thanks for your patience with me, I really appreciate it.

To make sure I do not lose the change to the geo.php file at the next upgrade, do I need to make a copy of the “Location and address” field to use?

Yes I have already included it into next update.
