jeoquery's Introduction

jeoquery

jQuery wrapper for easily calling geonames.org jsonp services, and a few ui-controls for populating html selects and inputs with geonames data.

Why use it?

There are heaps of server side libs that wrap geonames services. Many web-projects use these libs and make their web pages do a request against their own server which in turn does another request against the geonames services. This is really not necessary, use the geonames service directly from the users browser, and avoid superflous latency!

How to use

You need to:

Download and include jeoquery.js
Get an account at geonames: http://www.geonames.org/login (it's free)
Set this account before using any methods: jeoquery.defaultData.userName = 'your-geonames-user';

Check out the demo-pages for more info: http://tompi.github.com/jeoquery/

Cannot read property 'sort' of undefined

Hi,

I'm getting Cannot read property 'sort' of undefined error on this part
if (data.geonames.sort) { sortedNames = data.geonames.sort(function (a, b) { return a.countryName.localeCompare(b.countryName); }); }

Hoping for your fast response.

Thanks!

Multiple country codes

Hello. How can i use multiple contry code in 'search' request?
i.e. "country=US&country=RU"

jQuery.noConflict() compatibility

Please consider revising to be compatible with jQuery.noConflict(). I'd like to use this on an app that began as a prototype.js project that then needed some jQuery, so I ended up using both libraries, but the present $ shortcut is reserved for prototype and this code breaks. Demo looks great, looking forward to using it.

Please submit this as a Bower package

Thank you for the amazing jeoquery. Would you mind adding it to the Bower database so we can automate integration into projects?

Use traditional: true in ajax query

Actualy, duplicate paramters are send as param[]=A&param[]=B.. But geoname waiting format is param=1&param=B...

To achieve this, you must use the parameter "traditional: true" on the ajax query;

I encounteer this probleme with featureClass param.

Would like to see a "jeoZipAutoComplete" function

Hi,

i would like to see a "jeoZipAutoComplete" function.
So I could start typing the zip and would get an autocomplete for the zip and the city.

Wrong continent

Hi,

when using Novosibirsk to search for the city's country, state and continent I get Novosibirsk/ Novosibirsk Oblast / Russia / EU

While Russia is part in Europe, part in Asia shouldn't the continent be based on the city/address/a config setting, not only the country.
Also Russia is ~70% in Asia so more or less I would consider it an Asian country.

Maybe something can be done to retrieve the continent for address/city/country.

For example an address in Istanbul can be in Europe and another in Asia as Istanbul is on 2 continents.
Thank you
