Get Lat/Lng individual?

[distantnative]

Any way to get the latitude or longitude individually?
Would be a great way, if one could do $page->location()->lat()

Good idea. I'm not sure how I could make your suggestion work though.

I currently split the string on a comma in my template. Originally I wanted to use two fields in Kirby, but I had some issues with that so I chose to use one field.

[distantnative]

True... thought about custom field methods, but that's not really an ideal way and would require to add another file to a different folder. Not worth it, I think.

Maybe just include in your README
Latitude: $page->location()->split(',')[0]
Longitude: $page->location()->split(',')[1]

For even more beginners convenience ;)

I've found a 'workaround' for this.
With the use of field methods you can create your own helpers.

• Inside /site/plugins/ create a file named methods.php
• In this file create your own helpers like this:

<?php
field::$methods['lat'] = function($field) {
  $parts = explode(',',$field->value);
  return $parts[0];
};
field::$methods['lng'] = function($field) {
  $parts = explode(',',$field->value);
  return $parts[1];
};

Now in your template you should be able to do:
$page->location()->lat() and $page->location()->lng()

I will see about including it in the plugin somehow.

lol, we posted about the same fix on the same time I see 👍

[distantnative]

Exactly - but as that file has to be in the plugins folder, I think it is better to not include it into your plugin. Would make the install more complicated for that lil help

[timgauthier]

include a plugin and a field in the distro?

[rutger1140]

@timgauthier The explanation above you should help to get you going. The 'field part' of the geolocation field is merely a string split, nothing too fancy.
Because they have to reside in separate folders @distantnative and I decided to leave it like it is. Maybe when Kirby supports the two combined into 1 package I'll reconsider.

The map does not appear in my template. Using Kirby 2.1.0. I have followed all the steps and do not to make this worked. Only appear the two number (Lat & Lng)

Hey @juangiga the plugin only stores the geolocation data. It's up to you to generate a map (using mapbox or google maps for example) and add the geolocation.

You can look at the geolocation.js file in the assets/js plugin folder for an example of how to generate a google map with the marker.

Hi @juangiga, please create a new issue if your problem still persists.
