Hi,
A form in our view is currently updating two fields :lat and :lng in a
model named Event, but we would like to update a :location array
variable using the form instead. E.g the location variable could
contain [{:lat => 45.1, :lng => -3.4}] (order of lat and lng matters).
If you have any suggestions on how to do this, please let me know.


The event model looks like this:


class Event
 include Mongoid::Document
 ..
 // location array should have the value lat first and lng second.
 // e.g location = [{:lat => 45.1, :lng => -3.4}]
 field :location, :type => Array, :geo => true
 field :lat, :type => BigDecimal
 field :lng, :type => BigDecimal
 ..
end

The events edit view that updates the model looks like:

:javascript
 $(document).ready(function(){
 var options = {
 map_frame_id: "mapframe",
 map_window_id: "mapwindow",
 lat_id:  "event_lat",
 lng_id:  "event_lng",
 addr_id: "event_address",
 map_zoom: 13
 }
 $('#event_address').autogeocomplete(options);
 });


= form_for @event do |f|
 ..
 #mapframe
   #mapwindow
 //We need to update the location field in class Event with the
values provided by the javascript
 //instead of the fields 'lat' and 'lng' (that is what we are doing now)
 = f.hidden_field :lat
 = f.hidden_field :lng
 .actions
   = f.submit 'Save'


Best,
Andreas
