The property pin can be placed in 4 ways:

1. With Google Places Enabled – automatically based on property location

Step 1.  Enable Autocomplete in Front End Submission Form from Theme Options>Membership>Property Submission Page

Step 2. Choose what system do you want to use for geolocation: google places or open street

Note: If you choose Google Maps must add a Google API key.

Step 3. For the pin to be automatically placed on when the property is submitted, all address fields need to be selected for the submission form.

This option applies to address, the city in the submission form.

  • If for system type for geolocation you selected google places when type address in front end submission and you will see the Google Auto-complete as displayed in this screenshot

  • If for system type for geolocation you selected open street when type address in front end submission and you will see the OpenSteet-complete as displayed in this screenshot

2. With the Place PIN with Address button selected manually

If you disable autocomplete, the submit form will show dropdowns for city, area, and state and categories. With auto-complete no, the list of cities, areas, and states would have to be added from admin – properties (taxonomies) for them to exist in the submit form.
