Module: Geokit::IpGeocodeLookup

get_ip_address() click to toggle source

Returns the real ip address, though this could be the localhost ip address. No special handling here anymore.

    # File /Users/andre/projects/rails/geokit_dev/vendor/plugins/geokit/lib/geokit-rails/ip_geocode_lookup.rb, line 42
42:     def get_ip_address
43:       request.remote_ip
44:     end

retrieve_location_from_cookie_or_service() click to toggle source

Uses the stored location value from the cookie if it exists. If no cookie exists, calls out to the web service to get the location.

    # File /Users/andre/projects/rails/geokit_dev/vendor/plugins/geokit/lib/geokit-rails/ip_geocode_lookup.rb, line 34
34:     def retrieve_location_from_cookie_or_service
35:       return YAML.load(cookies[:geo_location]) if cookies[:geo_location]
36:       location = Geocoders::MultiGeocoder.geocode(get_ip_address)
37:       return location.success ? location : nil
38:     end

store_ip_location() click to toggle source

Places the IP address’ geocode location into the session if it can be found. Otherwise, looks for a geo location cookie and uses that value. The last resort is to call the web service to get the value.

    # File /Users/andre/projects/rails/geokit_dev/vendor/plugins/geokit/lib/geokit-rails/ip_geocode_lookup.rb, line 27
27:     def store_ip_location
28:       session[:geo_location] ||= retrieve_location_from_cookie_or_service
29:       cookies[:geo_location] = { :value => session[:geo_location].to_yaml, :expires => 30.days.from_now } if session[:geo_location]
30:     end
