[geocoder] Geocoder

Could you please provide some status summary about the port progress, stability and remaining tasks?

Updating the issue summary with a pointer to https://github.com/bforchhammer/geocoder

Also, this seems to still be under active development / not ready for testing yet. If I'm wrong, feel free to reset the status.

Hi,

I just made a version for Drupal 8: https://github.com/drupol/geocoder/tree/8.x-2.x
It's based on the Geocoder PHP library.

Find more information in the Readme.

FYI, the code is 90% the same as in 7.x-1.x thanks to Service Container.

There are still some work to do for the Widget formatter, but we're getting there :-)

Please, just one question. Do this module integrates the new D8 "Address" module?

TIA

Looking forward to the update

I have to say that this module seems important to a host of other modules. I am trying to piece together a functioning geolocation system because that seems key to the monetization of any website that involves local advertising, locating stores "near you," and in my case, a multi-edition magazine that serves different content in different regions. I'm fairly sure that is only a few examples of how geolocation can be used. A robust module concerned with integrating geolocation into the Drupal core would be huge! As paper distribution of newspaper declines, the revenue generated by the newspaper through the web is about 1/5 what it used to be, and that is because ads are not adequately geolocated to the user in a way the advertiser can be sure their ad is reaching the intended audience, thus many locally targeted websites use GoogleAdswords or something similar or simply give advertising away. If there is anything I can do...perhaps edit your documentation to make it user friendly, let me know.

Setting status to "needs review" per contrib tracker guidelines. The module has an alpha5 release.

A new full featured 2.x - beta1 version of the Geocoder Module have been released right now.

I think this can be closed as there is a stable D8 Version out.
