From the app/ directory:

svn export tmp tmpBAK
svn rm --force tmp
svn ci -m 'Removing directory "tmp".'
mv tmpBAK tmp
svn propset svn:ignore 'tmp' .
svn ci -m 'Ignoring "tmp" directory.'


To accomplish this, you need to empty your Security.salt variable in /app/config/core.php (Not positive what all this will affect):

Configure::write('Security.salt', '');

and change the hash method of the Security class (I did this in app_controller.php):

function beforeFilter(){
   Security::setHash('md5');
}

First, make sure gnome-bluetooth and bluez-gnome are installed in Synaptic.  Then, in a terminal type “sudo hidd –search” and click the little bluetooth button on the underside of the mouse/keyboard.

Once you have your key, it’s as simple as:

// Desired address
$address = "http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q="
.urlencode($data['address'])
.”,+”.urlencode($data['city'])
.”,+”.urlencode($data['state'])
.”,+”.urlencode($data['zip'])
.”&output=xml&key=”.$_SESSION['GOOGLE_KEY'];

// Retrieve the URL contents
$page = file_get_contents($address);

// Parse the returned XML file
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($page);

// Parse the coordinate string
list($longitude, $latitude, $altitude) = explode(",", $xml->Response->Placemark->Point->coordinates);

We now have $longitude/$latitude, which we will need for rendering our map.

Notes:

• I used to get the coordinates inside of my map generation, but sometimes the map would finish rendering before all the coordinates had been downloaded, so I suggest you get all your coordinates before you render your map.
• My example makes use of SimpleXMLElement() which I believe is a PHP5 and above only function. If you use PHP4 or below, you will have to parse the xml some other way.
• You don’t need the altitude for map generation, but they give it to us anyway.

So, a function like this:
function SomeFunction() {
var variable = "<?php echo $variable; ?>";
}


was creating this:
function SomeFunction() {
var variable = "The first row.
The second row.
The third row
";
}

The fix was to replace all the ‘\n’ with ‘\\n’, so the literal string ‘\n’ is output instead of an actual line break.

Like so:
var variable = "<?php echo str_replace('\n', '\\n', $variable); ?>


The important part is the ‘with’ option:
'with'=>'Form.serializeElements($("CommunityForm").getElements())'

My example:
echo $ajax->observeField('CommunityAddress', array('with'=>'Form.serializeElements( $("CommunityForm").getElements() )','url'=>'geocode','update'=>'geocode'"));

• This solution requires the Prototype javascript library.
