Geolocation problem

[Chris Ratcliffe]

Hi there, I'm trying to build an app with a geolocation service, following the tutorial http://docs.appery.io/tutorials/build....

All is going well until I get to the 'creating services' bit, specifically the 'server code service'. If I click on the 'request' tab, rather than showing 'radius, longitude and latitude' I see 'data' and 'content type'. The 'data' line is greyed out and I can't edit it, and has a value type of 'data'; and the 'Content-type' has a default value of 'text/plain' and a value type of 'string'. Can you give me a hint as to what I'm doing wrong please?! Thanks, Chris

Hi Chris,

You should add this parameters as on this screenshot: http://docs.appery.io/wp-content/uplo...

Please follow these steps to do it:
ol
liOpen your service./li

liNavigate to Request tab./li

liEnter "radius" in the input and click "Add". http://prntscr.com/39tijx/direct/li

liEnter "longitude" and "latitude" parameters with the same way. And you will get this: http://prntscr.com/39tiuy/direct/li

liNavigate to "test" tab and you will see your input parameters: http://prntscr.com/39tj1u/direct/li
/ol
That's all.

Regards.

Thank you for the very comprehensive answer. It still isn't working though. I have a feeling I've got a more fundamental problem! Am I able to send you a login for it?!

Thank you very much. I've just invited you. I'm pretty much with the UI (there are a couple of things that could be tidier but I'm happy) but it doesn't seem to function (I'd rather it work, than look good!)

Hello!

In service settings you need to change method from GET to POST, enable Proxy.
Here is screenshot with service settings

Hi Maryna,
I've made those amends, and it still isn't working. I had already got 'post' selected (unless you've made the amend) and I've set up the proxy. When I test it based on some test coordinates it comes back with the answer:
"Test failed! Please check service properties and the error details in "Response" area"

Any ideas?

[Maryna Brodina]

Looks like you haven't change method to POST. For Proxy you have to specify channel http://docs.appery.io/documentation/s...
Please also follow tutorial carefully. You have incorrect parameter names (they are case sensitive). Same for DB collection and field names.

Hi there,
I think I've done everything you've suggested (for both pages of the app) and I'm still stuggling. Neither page is working.
On the geolocation bit, I've double checked case-sensitivity and the post/get bit, and it should be right now. I'm still getting an error message:
"
"status":"400 Bad Request",
"url":"https://api.appery.io/rest/1/code/fee...",
"response":{
"code":"BCXX002",
"description":"Cannot consume content type"
}
}"

On the startscreen, I think I've followed the tutorial correctly, but it is sending blank information into the database. Starting to lose the will!

Hi Chris,

Don't give up! We are working on it.
