How to use @marker data from two different models?

I have two models: One which contains :city_name, :long, :lat and the other :person_name, :occupation.

How do i create the @marker array using all data from those two different models?

I have managed to put the markers using long,lat,city_name but I fail to figure out how to add the rest...

Thanks,

Petros

Solution

Array is monkey patched in the gem so you can do:

[].to_gmaps4rails

Whatever the content of the array.

So, simply build an Array with all data required.

EDIT1: You can set the address of one model exactly the way you want:

#Person model
def gmaps4rails_address
  self.cities.first.whatever_relevant_column
end

But you can only have one address to take into account. Maybe a gem extension could be to take arrays as argument here.

EDIT2:

If you don't need geocoding, so you don't need to add the gmaps4rails_adress method.

Simply add the acts_as_gmappable with your options (custom lat and lng in your case).
