Geocoding, Geolocation and Search with Geocoder + Google Maps APIs Discussion
Alex Musayev
Congrats Chris! You've created and awesome community and your videos have always been top notch!
Great video! I'm really interested in seeing more Geolocation/Geocoder videos!
Congrats on 200! Your screencasts are great! One suggestion - figure out how to improve the visual clarity of your video files. Everything is always fuzzy/soft, regardless of what platform I view on. I typically can't read your code windows. Jeffrey Way (Laracasts) does a great job with this aspect of things. It may be a video platform issue, or it might be a screencast software encoding issue. BTW - I have tons of available bandwidth, so it's not a streaming issue/ISP issue....
I noticed that a bit earlier today. Got a new computer to record on though so I've lost my old Screenflow settings. Possibly something with their export options that wasn't rendering at the highest quality.

Hi Chris, thank you very much for your videos.
I want to ask you for a serie or episode teahing us to consume the PayPal API with rails, i need to learn that with sooo urgency, if you can help me i'll be very gratefull with you.
Greetings.
Hey Alexander, I don't know the PayPal API very well, but they own Braintree and I have done an episode on that: https://gorails.com/episode...
Braintree lets you do both PayPal and credit cards so you can pick whichever you need. I'd recommend using it over the PayPal API directly for most all cases.
Hi Chris! Congratz for the 200!!
I want to what is the episode that you start this repository?
Before the screencast, I setup a Rails app with my template and added a Transaction model ahead of time so I could focus on the geocoding parts I believe.
You can check out the commits in the repo to see how I set that up: https://github.com/gorails-...
And sometime soon, I will probably be releasing that Rails template that I've been using to start new apps!
For some reason the geocode method is returning 'nil' on my record. I have checked my code against the source code and can't seem to figure this out.
Has anyone else experienced a similar issue?
I've figured out the issue with the returning of nil. I hadn't added the Google Map API.
Great job as alawys Chris, I'm creating an app with a Users model and Vehicles model, should I add the address to the Users model or the Vehicles model?
Great Video Chris, I would like to know how can i get each users position (lon and lat) "Using HTML Geolocation"
here is my codes in the app.js
var x = document.getElementById("location");
function getLocation() {
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(showPosition);
} else {
x.innerHTML = "Geolocation is not supported by this browser.";
}
}
function showPosition(position) {
x.innerHTML = "Latitude: " + position.coords.latitude +
"
Longitude: " + position.coords.longitude;
}
here is the codes in my controller.erb
def location
if current_user = find_driver
respond_to do |format|
format.js {render :application =>"getLocation();" }
end
end
end
