I am reading values from a Wordpress database into an array. I am then plotting these to a Google map.
The problem is i have multiple items in the same location, and when plotted to the map i can only see one of them (i presume multiple entries are covering each other.
My output in this test case is:
Array

As you can see there are duplicate geo values for various items.
What i would like to do is combine elements with identical geo location so i can use them the same on the output.
eg:
geo location 1 - value geo location 2 - value + other values for identical geo location.
Does that make sense?
Update:
I cant get it to work. My code is:
$args = array(
'post_type' => array('post', 'page', 'role', 'images', 'showreel', 'training', 'skill', 'show' ),
'meta_key' => 'geo_value',
'posts_per_page' => -1
);
$wherePosts = new WP_Query($args);
while ($wherePosts->have_posts()) : $wherePosts->the_post();
if (get_post_type() == "images") {
$type = "Image Gallery";
} elseif (get_post_type() == "show") {
$type = "Show dates";
}
$venue = addslashes(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'venue_value', true));
$area = addslashes(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'area_value', true));
if (!empty($venue)) {
$location = $venue;
} elseif (!empty($area)) {
$location = $area;
}
$current = get_the_ID();
$thePosts[] = array(
geo => get_post_meta($post->ID, 'geo_value', true),
str => '<div class="map-overlay"><b>' . $location . '</b><p><a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . get_the_title() . '</a> - ' . $type .' - ' . get_the_date() . '</p></div>'
);
endwhile;
wp_reset_query();
//sort array
//print_r($thePosts);
$locationArray = Array();
foreach ($thePosts as $value) {
if ( isset($locationArray[$value['geo']] )) {
$locationArray[] = $value;
} else {
$locationArray[$value['geo']] = Array($value);
}
}
?>
<pre>
<?php
print_r($locationArray);
//ksort($geoArray);
print_r($geoArray);
?>
</pre>
<?php
foreach($locationArray as $geo => $items){
foreach($items as $item){
echo $item['str'];
}
}
?>
which is outputting:
