Rails

Posted by sethbc on April 11, 2006

I’ve been working on Rails for the last couple of days, and I’ve got to say that I’m exceptionally impressed. The framework is definitely robust, and the availability of plugins is a huge plus for enhancing functionality.

I’ve been doing a bunch of work on the new Google Maps API. GMap2 is pretty impressive, and adds a bunch of new features. Unfortunately, Cartographer doesn’t support GMap2, so I had to completely hack it up to get support going. I can post my code if anyone needs or wants it. Eventually I’ll try and plug it back in to the cartographer site, but for right now it still needs a lot of work.

I would love to see any code you can spare to plug Gmap2 functionality into rails. I am starting a site and would really dig a head start on getting Gmap2 involved (being that cartographer is a bit of a headache and it doesn't support gmap2).

All the best.

Thanks, Seth, take your time, but I would still totally dig seeing whatever examples you can post, if you get around to it. All the best.

Count me in for interest in your code, Seth. I've been hunting for a good piece of code to bring GMap functionality to my site and Cartographer is simply not cutting it. I'd greatly appreciate it if you would share anything you have. Cheers to the community.

Well, I've kind of migrated away from the cartographer code, but I'm totally willing to post what i had. The modifications you have to make are extremely simple. I'll post a link as soon as I can clean it up.
