GPS Locator Script / Service in the demo application "GPS Store Finder"

matthieu_burel — Wed, 23 May 2012 18:35:43 GMT

Hi,

It seems to be possible as presented in the "GPS Store Finder" application (here) to locate the position of the user, only in AJAX mode, with the help of the web browser.

The question is : how is it possible ? what must we do to put it in place ?

My first impression is that the solution is based on GPS variable or paramater transmit by opendoc.html + javascript to qlikview application... something like that.

Any idea ?

Get the Project reference components, it has an Extension that is responsible for that.

If you get the downloadable project, the "find my location" button is a reference to the extension.

The extension must be installed in your application folder.

Hope it helps.

It´s very interesting!!

When the user clicks the "find my location" button, the extension calls a method "navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition()" and gets the coordinates of the device.

Finally 2 document variables vLat (latitude), vLog (longitude) are set.

Pablo, have you implemented this option in any App?

I'm trying to use that, but no success... Any advice?

Roberto,

We are using it with success in one of our projects thought with some functional changes.

What problems are you having?

Mind the extension will only work with a GPS Enabled Browser, and in server Side environment (if you try the original project it will not work in QV Desktop).

Also, you will have to copy and adapt the Macros in the document (rezoom, rezoom2 )...

Good Luck!

Miguel,

We have an server environment, and I also had installed the extension in the server.

In the first moment, I tried to use a custom App just creating the two variables as they say to, but with no success, so I copied the GPS Store Find App to server and tried to access it from my mobile (IOS) and no success.

The Macros (rezoom, rezoom2) are used to the map, in my app it will start more simple, I just need the coordinate in those variables.

Do you have any ideia about, what should I do?

Thanks!

Hi Roberto.

If you create an input box with the 2 variables, are they changed to the Location Values?

Mind that the extension is running a javascript block in your browser, and it ask's permission to get your location. Are you seeing this popup at anytime?

If not, can you be sure you have the extension correctly installed?

Cheers,

Hi Miguel.

No values appears in the input box when running the app.

No popup appears to in any of the devices that I used.

About the installation, do I have to do any other thing besides of double clicking the qar file?

Thanks,

Roberto Bechara

Roberto,

You need to unzip it and place it in the right folder. I think it's not enough to double click the qar, since it will only create the extension in the user folders.

To be correctly installed your extension has to be under ...\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions.

Be sure to place the extension under Document.

Finally, if you created a new document, you must enable the extension for that document in Qlikview Dektop in the Documents tab > Extensions. You must install the extension before this, so that it appears in the left panel. You can install multiple extensions for the same document, but you have to check precedence between them because they will all be called when you update the document objects.

I hope this helps!

Miguel
