Welcome to Freecycle Geocoder¶ ↑
Freecycle Geocoder is a rails app that maps out Portland Freecycle offers to support the use of freecycle in a format that is geared towards easy mobility. Our hope is that this app can be used in conjunction with freecycle and help its group members use the information to find offers in a more reasonable scope ie distance.
To use this opensource application (as is) you must be a member of the freecycle portland group and create a lib/mail_config.rb file with your credentials in this format:
module FreeCycleMap
USER_CONFIG = { :user_name => "username", :password => "password" } MAIL_CONFIG = { :server => "mailserver", :group => "freecycle mailing list email address" }
end
Console command to kick start “whenever” gem magic: bundle exec whenever -w
Console command to end “whenever” cron job: bundle exec whenever -c
