Great to hear it’s resolved, Claude, and glad to have helped with the couple of things needed to get it going for you.
Thanks for offering the additional info in case it may help others consider how to take advantage of such geo-fencing capability from within CFML. /charlie From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:cfaussie@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of rai...@ozemail.com.au Sent: Friday, March 27, 2015 8:38 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: [cfaussie] Help With Dynamic Naming A CfScript Function Hi Charlie Thanks for your assistance and now the code to detect the distance between 2 points using long / lat works a treat Some background for the use of the code for those who are interested Its being used to detect when a tracking device is within x distance from a nominated point. Its for geo fence alerting, in order words we take a co ordinate long / lat (which you can visualise as being the centre of a circle with a radius of x distance). The coordinates of the centre of the circle are set, which creates the gep fence. The variable coordinates are the location of the mobile tracking device. Each time the tracking device reports its current location (coordinates) those coordinates are passed through the code to determine how far the reported location is from the centre of the coordinates representing the centre of the circle. When the distance between the 2 points is less than the radius then by definition it means the portable device is now inside the geo fence circle area if the distance is greater than the radius then the reported location is outside the geo fence circle You then create processes to run eg cfmail alerts for emails dependant on the business rules you need to set relating to when the circle has been entered / existed <snip> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
