Hi,
I am new to Ruby on Rails. I am trying to integrate Google Map with Ruby
on Rails, and I am totally stuck. I can initiate the map centered at a
hardcoded lat and lng in my index view, with other locations displayed
within 25 miles.
However, I am not sure how to update the current map with results from
search query (which would be an address or zip code) from a user. From
server message output, search action does find markers from different
center point, but I can't seem to get them displayed in the current map.
The following is my search form in index view.
<% form_tag(search_path, :method => 'get') do %>
<%= label_tag(:query, 'Search for:') %>
<%= text_field_tag(:query) %>
<%= submit_tag('Search') %>
<% end %>
The following is the route config.
map.search 'search', :controller => 'places', :action => 'search'
The following is search.rjs (I also hardcoded @marker in search
controller to see if the map gets updated with a new marker).
page << @map.clear_overlays
page << @map.add_overlay(@marker)
But, all I get is the following error...
try {
map.clearOverlays();
map.addOverlay(addInfoWindowToMarker(new GMarker(new
GLatLng(75.89,-42.767),{title : "Update"}),"I have been placed through
RJS",{}));
} catch (e) { alert('RJS error:\n\n' + e.toString());
alert('map.clearOverlays();\nmap.addOverlay(addInfoWindowToMarker(new
GMarker(new GLatLng(75.89,-42.767),{title : \"Update\"}),\"I have been
placed through RJS\",{}));'); throw e }
But, I think the real problem is not related to the javascript error. I
am just not sure if this direction I am going is right......using search
form, search action, and search.rjs. Updating just the map section of
index view is missing, and I am not sure how to go about it.
If anyone could help me out, I would very much appreciate it....
Thanks,
