This is an add-on for the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/" rel="ugc">Advanced Custom Fields</a> 
WordPress plugin and will not provide any functionality to WordPress unless Advanced Custom Fields is installed 
and activated.
The Location field provides:
<ul>
<li>a search field where you can type in some coordinates or an address and hit <code>Enter</code>. </li>
<li>a Google map which you can click at the desired location.</li>
</ul>
In both cases, Google will find the location and return the coordinates and the complete address, if you want it complete. A marker will be added at the desired location.

The oik base plugin provides a series of advanced WordPress shortcodes that help you display dynamic content from your website’s pages, posts, attachments, links and custom post types. 
The OIK Information Kit uses lazy smart shortcode technology to display your WordPress website’s content including your often included key-information. 
The functionality in the oik base plugin is used by over 40 other WordPress plugins, providing powerful facilities for an efficient, performant website.
oik now provides over 80 shortcodes including:
<ul>
<li>[bw_pages], [bw_posts], [bw_thumbs], [bw_attachments], [bw_images], [bw_pdf] shortcodes to list subpages, posts, attachments or custom post types </li>
<li>[bw_cycle] to display content using jQuery cycle.</li>
<li>[bw_list], [bw_tree] to display lists of links to pages, posts, attachments or custom post types </li>
<li>[bw_table] to tabulate pages, posts or custom post types</li>
<li>[bw_bookmarks] to list links</li>
<li>[paypal] shortcodes for PayPal buttons: Pay Now, Buy Now, Donate, Add to Cart, View Cart/Checkout</li>
<li>[bw_block] & [bw_eblock], [div] & [ediv], [clear] – to create block structures within your pages, posts and even widgets</li>
<li>[bw_button], [bw_contact_button] – to provide call-to-action button style links for Artisteer themes</li>
<li>helper shortcodes for web designers and developers: [bw_editcss], [bwtrace], [bw_wpadmin], [bw_wtf], [stag] & [etag]</li>
</ul>
oik helps you to display information about you, your company, your social networking ids and your website using standard formats that search engines such as Google recognise.
<ul>
<li>You enter your information once, then use oik shortcodes to display it wherever you want; in titles, post and page content, header, sidebar and footer widgets.</li>
<li>Whenever you need to change a value you only need to update it in one place; and your website is updated instantly.</li>
<li>Shortcodes to display often included key information include: [bw_contact], [bw_telephone], [bw_mobile], [bw_mailto], [bw_company], [bw_address], [bw_show_googlemap], [bw_directions], [bw_logo], [bw_qrcode], [bw_copyright]</li>
<li>For your social networking use the [bw_follow_me] shortcode to display your links to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etcetera</li>
</ul>
Features:
<ul>
<li>oik provides buttons to help you write the shortcodes, showing you the parameters you can choose and default values </li>
<li>oik provides a shortcode discovery page where you can find out about every shortcode which is active in your site</li>
<li>lazy programming means that code is only loaded when it’s actually needed</li>
<li>smart means that the shortcodes can recognise the content in which they’re used and adjust their behaviour accordingly</li>
<li>oik is extendable – plugin developers can build on the oik base functionality </li>
<li>using the oik API: help, syntax information, examples AND HTML snippets can be produced for any plugin or theme that provides shortcodes</li>
<li>oik is theme independent; meaning that you can change your theme without having to worry about whether or not the shortcodes will still work.</li>
<li>oik uses microformats so that Google and other search engines can understand your content.</li>
</ul>
