[web2py] Re: has anyone done web2py + google maps?
There's this plugin: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/web2py/4RFAudXbt3s/discussion. Also, plugin_wiki includes a Google Maps widget similar to that plugin (http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/13#Current-Widgets). There's also https://github.com/relsi/web2pyople (see it running here: http://web2pyople.appspot.com/). Anthony On Saturday, September 10, 2011 1:47:53 AM UTC-4, niknok wrote: Any links to try out?
Re: [web2py] Re: has anyone done web2py + google maps?
I'm a Python Web Dev noob, but I had a similar requirement. I created
this function to convert a postcode into lon lat data suitable for
use in Google Maps. It's a work in progress, not very elegant, and it
doesn't have any error management but it's a start. Hopefully someone
on the list will be able to point out any serious problems with it if
there are any ;-)
import urllib
import xml.dom.minidom
Returns latitude and longitude when passed a postcode
geocodeUrl='http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address='
sensor='sensor=false'
#send the postcode to Google for geocoding
dom=xml.dom.minidom.parse(urllib.urlopen(geocodeUrl+address+sensor))
#grab the location element
location=dom.getElementsByTagName('location')[0]
#pull out the lat lng elements and remove the lat lng tags
lat=location.getElementsByTagName('lat')[0].toxml().replace('lat','').replace('/lat','')
lng=location.getElementsByTagName('lng')[0].toxml().replace('lng','').replace('/lng','')
georesults = {'lat':lat, 'lng':lng}
return georesults

You might want to check out Public Radio Roadtrip an application done (in progress?) by John Tynan. It was still slightly rough around the edges the last time I tried it out but was looking really interesting and was exploring some really interesting ideas. *Public Radio Roadtrip* GAE test site http://publicradioroadtrip.appspot.com/publicradioroadtrip Get the Code here http://code.google.com/p/publicradioroadtrip/ John's Blog http://p2pu.org/en/johntynan/ John also did an application for public radio funding campaigns...

Thank you all for the responses and links. They are very good models to learn from. Has anyone done something similar to crimereports.com or haybol.ph?
