GeoLocation Functions

[frankbicknell]

Is anyone successfully using this feature with build 2373-3862? I am trying to use the feature in its simplest form just getting latitude and longitude but I get no data and firebug reports this error: geoLocateSuccess is not defined

Re: GeoLocation Functions

Funny you ask that... I played with it during the night to get it to work.
I will be using it for a while to keep track of the times the bus I ride actually
picks me up and drops me off, but I have plans of using it to help our drivers
with their checkin calls.

Re: GeoLocation Functions

I guess that means you got it working. What are field types for latitude and longitude? I tried decimal and character.

Re: GeoLocation Functions

Character. I'll cheat and show what I have for the table setup.
I seem to remember dropping a few options because I couldn't
get it to work.

Re: GeoLocation Functions

Thank you for 'cheating'. It turns out that I had to put the grid in an a5w page instead of calling it directly from a button on my main mobile page. It seems to be working OK now.

The error in the image is from the real website , http://a5.wisux.com/viewit.a5w.
The working preview, and even live preview, displays the page as I expected.

Re: GeoLocation Functions

Are you using this on an android device by any chance? I have the geolocation working on my desktop but now does not work on my android phone.

EDIT
It works OK, just takes awhile.

Re: GeoLocation Functions

I've used it from my iphone and my windows 7 based computers.
Let me check with someone in the office that has an android phone.

I wish I could see errors like that as 'fun'. I find them very frustrating.

That is what I will be doing next plotting my geolocatons. I hope you get it solved and 'cheat' a little before I get to that part. I will do the same.

Re: GeoLocation Functions

I'm not a fan of android, but the one I tried was able to connect
and do the checkin.

Re: GeoLocation Functions

The cannot convert number has nothing to do with the map - it started appearing a few builds ago - you need to edit the grid in the current build save an republish.

Re: GeoLocation Functions

Now I'm more confused.
The build was created and edited with build 2373-3862.

Re: GeoLocation Functions

hi everyone,
while we are on this topics... i asked few times without a good response.

have you thought about using this geolocation function in a simple.a5w page

trap the user's position, eother as a one time when he/she access the page.

covert the longitude and latitude into session variables
and i know how to save their position into a tracking log file in sql

just not sure how to get the "java? or window values" into sessions
which i am very comfortable in taking them and save to file.

appreciate a good guidance

thanks

Gregg,

Your server is running an old build... you need to be on the same build as your developer copy

Re: GeoLocation Functions

omg...
I must have gotten distracted when I was updating the machine.
Updated the developer part, but failed to update appserver.

I appreciate the gentle nudge to push me in the right direction.
