It is setup in the controller to detect the current user lat/lon and use it
when performing a geo search without the user having to enter their zip
code.
:geo => [current_user.latitude * Math::PI / 180.0,
current_user.longitude * Math::PI / 180.0]
This works great for registered members as they don't have to enter their
zip code to perform a search. But it's not a good idea for non-registered
members (wouldn't have a lat/lon value store in db) and if registered
members wanted to search a different area.
How can I add a condition that when visitors perform a search and manually
enter in a zip code on the form:
= text_field_tag :zip_code, nil, placeholder: "enter
zip here", class: 'text_input'
That it will use that zip's lat/lon instead of the "current_user's
information"?
For example current setup is like the following. User A has zip code of
90001. Sphinx will automatically detect their lat/lon value 33.97, -1118.24
and insert that into the search results. User A is happy because they never
had to enter their zip code.
User A (or guest) would like to search from a different area. They enter in
a zip code 10001, but Sphinx ignores and continues using 90001 (since
that's the current users information).
I want to overwrite the current_user information IF the User entered a zip
code into the form.
