[Chameleon] finding locations and parsing session id

[bartvde at xs4all.nl]

Hi,

I am assuming you write the session id with php and you have included

include("../session.inc.php");

then you can do something like this to get the session id (it will output
sid= as well).

mypopup.phtml?<?php echo SID ?>

The Locate widget is the correct one to find a place. But it is configured
for a geocoding/gazetteer service in Canada, but you can change it to use
a different geocoder/gazetteer (we did so for Netherlands). Not the most
easy task to start with though.

There have also been other people on this list who made a similar thing
based on a shapefile with locations or something like that. We use a
geocoder service over http (XML communication).

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Bart
