Drupal geofield auto resolve geocode from address #3
Comments
I am not sure if i am getting what you`re saying but why use the geofield which has geocoding enabled with data taken from the address field and not pass the information directly to the database tables. Also, what is it that you want to accomplish? Στις 5:04 μ.μ. Παρασκευή, 7 Μαρτίου 2014, ο/η JosKar [email protected] έγραψε: Drupal geofield auto resolve geocode form address field.

OK, here's what the mobile needs to be able to do: post an article with the precise geocoordinates, (taken via the device GPS or from a map). So, we tried to understand how the current posting can accommodate this goal, and saw that it can't. We need to somehow understand how the Drupal plugins/modules can be combined to use the direct "Latitude/Longitude" geofield type from the xml-rpc service. So, any quick pointers towards that direction would be welcomed :) |
Yes i see the problem in what you are trying to do. From drupals perspective i dont know how internally worksthe thing but from the current setup i don't see any easy way to change the current setup. The only thing that comes in mind is to create a second content type (ct). The existing ct connects geofield with address_field and changing that will break the user experience of adding location via address. Problems that may occur: We will have to check that point listing, mapping and searching can be configured to seamlessly work with both content types. This is a video about how to use services to post coordinates --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mItU7eogjbU It may give some ideas. I will research the problem a bit and report any findings if any Στις 2:57 π.μ.

After the love given by alskia to us weekend working boys i have another proposition What if you applied reverse geocoding on the android side converting thus the gps location to address (the same thing is what geofield does) and push the returned address for posting. The geocoding service used is the same (google's) so we won't have different results i believe. Some sample code just for reference http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6922312/get-location-name-from-fetched-coordinates Στις 1:12 μ.μ.

hmm this sound like a good work around. I am going to make some tests. |
