I added a Geotagger field to a channel which already contained a lot of entries.
The field is set to auto-tag based on field mappings to address, city etc. which are already in the channel.

Is there a way to force a recalculation for all these entries?
Otherwise I would have to go to each entry, edit it, add a space to the address field (causing the geotagger field to find the coordinates again)..

Of course I could try to get my client to spend a few hours clicking around in the CP but if it could be done automatically… would be very nice!

Thanks!

No. There’s no automatic method. Basically, the data’s assigned dynamically using when the entry’s saved. Without triggering the save entry method… it won’t update. It’s a good feature request, but not something available at present.

We’re moving away from the forums, though not entirely and not immediately. Lack of support lately is coincidental to that. Unfortunately we’ve had a bad month with it, but we do not forsee that we will have any continued problems with support through our portal going forward, or on forums while we’re still transitioning. We will send out a newsletter and make additional notifications through twitter and other outlets over the coming weeks.

Moving forward; things returning to normal.
