KIC Posted April 9, 2013 #51 Posted April 9, 2013 Pretty cool. Just shows me you all live back east. It's kinda lonely out west...
Trader Posted April 9, 2013 #52 Posted April 9, 2013 Unfortunately, that's just the way it works. It centers the map on the user that you select but shows all the pins in that area. Alrighty then! Thanks for this.....pretty cool add on.
Gary N. Posted April 9, 2013 #53 Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) Working good now Don. I think it would be better if members listed their contact info so it pops up right on the map instead of having to go to their profile. If they are offering VR assistance that is. I think that's what the map is all about right? Edited April 9, 2013 by Gary N.
Freebird Posted April 9, 2013 Author #54 Posted April 9, 2013 Yes, and that is probably my fault because I really didn't think that far ahead when I started it. I have my city and telephone number listed. That should be the minimum and then if you want to see what services a member offers, you can view their profile. Hopefully people will update their info now that I THINK I have it working correctly.

I see you have moved into the local fire hall. Tired of feeding the pond monster?
Trader Posted April 9, 2013 #57 Posted April 9, 2013 On the menu bar or whatever....where do we find the link....other than in this thread?
Freebird Posted April 9, 2013 Author #58 Posted April 9, 2013 Was trying this out before going to the trouble of adding a link. Will add one to the top or side menu bar probably tonight.
pmelah Posted April 9, 2013 #59 Posted April 9, 2013 I see you have moved into the local fire hall. Tired of feeding the pond monster? last night the map showed me he was in the park with no pond monsters or ponds in sight
frodotoo Posted April 9, 2013 #60 Posted April 9, 2013 Totally awesome addition Will come in handy for my trip out east after the VR Rally
hillrider Posted April 9, 2013 #61 Posted April 9, 2013 Yep, the pins show, but I'm still not listed. Maybe it's got something to do with my subscription runs out in two weeks.
dallio Posted April 9, 2013 #62 Posted April 9, 2013 ok I'm in there. is this the same thing as the venture sighting map or is this going to be another page on the main menu?
Howard B Posted April 9, 2013 #63 Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) Apparently I'm not home! I figured it out and NOW i'm home! Put in my summer work residence as well. Edited April 11, 2013 by Howard B
Thom Posted April 9, 2013 #64 Posted April 9, 2013 Fender Lizard and I are on it , Thanks Don , :sign kewl::clap2:
Freebird Posted April 9, 2013 Author #65 Posted April 9, 2013 Yep, the pins show, but I'm still not listed. Maybe it's got something to do with my subscription runs out in two weeks. Nope, that would have nothing to do with it. Have you entered your information and then hit the Update button? ok I'm in there. is this the same thing as the venture sighting map or is this going to be another page on the main menu? Separate thing. Does anybody really use the Sighting map though? Do we want to keep it? Apparently I'm not home! Howard, you have to add your own information by clicking the "your entry" link at the top of the map.
darthandy Posted April 9, 2013 #66 Posted April 9, 2013 Nice piece of work Don! I'm on there too. Is the image to come later or did I miss something entering my info? Andy
awsmsrv Posted April 9, 2013 #67 Posted April 9, 2013 OK. I've put in my info. My pin is there. When I click (tap) a pin on the map, the map shifts. I see no labels, just pins. I'm on my iPad. Does it not show correctly on it? Thanks.
Freebird Posted April 9, 2013 Author #68 Posted April 9, 2013 I tried it on my Iphone and you are right. I hadn't thought about it but I think the problem is that IOS doesn't support Java. So now I have to try and figure out if it can be made to work on Iphone and Ipad.
Freebird Posted April 9, 2013 Author #69 Posted April 9, 2013 Nice piece of work Don! I'm on there too. Is the image to come later or did I miss something entering my info? Andy There is a problem with the images so I did away with the field to input them. If people put in certain characters and etc., it breaks the map.
playboy Posted April 9, 2013 #71 Posted April 9, 2013 Somebody better go get Aimhigh he is out to sea off the African coast:rotf:
MidlifeVenture Posted April 9, 2013 #72 Posted April 9, 2013 There are 2 blanks do you type screen name in both or do we have to type URL that is linked to our name next to welcome think I read the whole thread must have missed the instructions
darthandy Posted April 10, 2013 #73 Posted April 10, 2013 There are 2 blanks do you type screen name in both or do we have to type URL that is linked to our name next to welcome think I read the whole thread must have missed the instructions You can put whatever you want in either blank. Some of us have put our city and province or city and state in the first blank and a comment in the second blank. Your "profile" name should automatically appear in the middle when you go to your "pin". That's what is in the URL on the "entry" screen. Hope this is clear enough. Andy
CantWin1 Posted April 10, 2013 #75 Posted April 10, 2013 Pretty awesome! Now I can see why there's no 'ride events' on this side of the country...need to work on that!!
