The add-on allows you to create new custom fields for your locations. They can be one of three types: single-line text, multiple line text, and 5-grade scale. This guarantees a wide array of possibilities.
Use Examples
Restaurant Review - Add the 5-grade scale fields "Cost-benefit", "Quality", "Service" and a multiple-line field "Review" to inform your readers about the venues you've visited.
Traveling Blog - Add the text field "Tourist Tips" to help fellow travelers. Then, add the fields "Accessibility" and "Best Time to Visit" for the complete service.
Journal - Add the text field "Best Memories" to locations that made a good impression on you.
And much more!
Using - Adding Custom Fields
Head to Admin Dashboard → CM Map Locations Pro → Settings → Custom Fields tab.
Custom fields settings
In there, you will find a table where you can create as many custom fields as you would like.
Adding custom fields
For that, simply click Add new field, and set:
Text label - The name the users will see.
Meta key (alphanumeric) - This only serves to help the add-on identify the custom field. It will not affect sorting.
Field type - Choose between:
Single-line text field - Text in a single line. Best for small text such as "Yes"/"No", telephone numbers, etc.
Single-line number field - A single line field for entering numbers. Note: this option was introduced in version 1.2.7.
Single-line url field - A single line field for entering URL. Note: this option was introduced in version 1.2.7.
Select (drop-down field) - Allows the user to choose a value from a list. Dropdown is good if you need to give a user options with very little space.
Radio field - The user can choose one options from two or more from the list.
Multi-line text area - Bigger area to write. Best for content such as analysis, impressions, lists, etc.
Multi-line html area - A multiline area that accepts HTML content. Note: this option was introduced in version 1.2.7.
5-grade scale - Ranking from 1 star to 5 stars. Best for ratings of any sorts, such as "Beauty", "Price", "Cost-benefit" etc.
Field values (only used for select and radio) - Values that you add to the list for choice.
Multiselect (only used for select and radio) - Enable this option so the user can choose more than one option from the list.
Note that custom fields apply to all locations - the ones you add on this page will be available when editing any location.
