Re: [Andy] Call Google geocoder from Links In reply to
Thanks, but I can already display the map. I just need to enter the geocodes manually. I want Links to check for geocoordinates at build time and if they aren't there, call the geocoder, fetch the codes and write them into the database. I don't want to geocode every time somebody looks at the page.


Also I'm running an old version of Links. Version 2.X or something. My implementation is heavily customized and it has the Php front end which is good because the rest of the site is in php too. I don't need any new features so I won't upgrade.


Do you know if it's possible to call the geocoder via a subroutine? Or do I need a plugin? I know that with my version of links I can use the php front end to geocode when listings are submitted, but that doesn't help me for what's already in the database.
