I remember I had some difficulty getting this to work, and yes I did have to
modify the downloadable code. In template.py try substituting your app's url
+ key in JSAPI_KEYS. As I said before, you may want to substitute your key
in index.html like so:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=your_key
"></script>
then, work backwards to get your key in templatelib.py to work for you. I'm
not certain how much a security issue this is. I think this should work for
test purposes at least.
With respect to the database call, it is made in front.js using ajax. See
function doGeocodeAndSearch() & function doSearch(options). I then
substituted the my app's url in function doSearch(options) as shown below:
g_currentSearchXHR = $.ajax({
url: 'http://your_app.appspot.com/s/search', //see your app.yaml file
for the call to service.py
type: 'get',
data: searchParameters,
dataType: 'json',
error: function(xhr, textStatus) {
// TODO: parse JSON instead of eval'ing
var responseObj;
eval('responseObj=' + xhr.responseText);
$('#search-error, #list-view-status').text(
'Internal error: ' + responseObj.error.message);
$('#search-error').css('visibility', 'visible');
$('#loading').css('visibility', 'hidden');
},
success: function(obj) {
g_currentSearchXHR = null;
$('#loading').css({ visibility: 'hidden' });
if (!options.clearResultsImmediately)
clearSearchResults();
if (obj.status && obj.status == 'success') {
for (var i = 0; i < obj.results.length; i++) {
var result = obj.results[i];
result.icon = '
http://your_app.appspot.com/static/images/markers/simple.png';
if (options.type == 'proximity' && i <= 10) {
result.icon = '
http://your_app.appspot.com/static/images/markers/' +
String.fromCharCode(65 + i) + '.png';
}
....
What that ajax call does is call service.py as defined in your app.yaml
file. Look at service.py to see how the actual call to the database is
defined.
This worked for me. I hope this helps. Good luck!
