Revision as of 06:20, 10 April 2011

Help needed list:


Also why do we have three Virginia Creeper listings? I recommend just one trail listing, then on the trail page the different access points can be noted. Might get to that one as boys were considering riding it down again, thus would generate a GPX file.--Vhasler 20:29, 2 April 2011 (EDT)

Carryover from the way it was listed on the website as I exported and transferred it mostly as is. It had a marker at each major location (Abingdon, Damascus, Whitetop I believe). Totally agree with you, have at it! --Tim 21:00, 2 April 2011 (EDT)

Is there a way to display an externally linked map? Take the Rocky Fork map you just linked. Could it be displayed on the page to show the information versus the G-map (or until GPX/KML are obtained for the trails)? My same question was going to be for the WPSP Mountain Bike Trail System which has a good topo map.--Vhasler 05:27, 7 April 2011 (EDT)

We could display a picture of it, but you can't, (even "normal" webpages) have embedded PDFs. --Tim 09:57, 7 April 2011 (EDT)

Icon pins requested from the google-maps-icons website you have linked:--Vhasler 08:47, 7 April 2011 (EDT)

Done! --Tim 21:34, 7 April 2011 (EDT)
Many Thanks!! Already started editing, but bedtime soon.--Vhasler 21:57, 7 April 2011 (EDT)

Is there a way to have a routine that allows selected sections on a wiki page to be printed? --Vhasler 14:22, 7 April 2011 (EDT)

I think you need to show me, not clearly understanding. --Tim 21:34, 7 April 2011 (EDT)
Is there a way to just print, for example, the "How to get there", "Route Description" and "Maps" sections of a trail page? One criteria I have set up for myself is to keep the trail pages no more than two printed sheets. But not as important if able to select a few parts. Trying to think how folks will be using this wiki. I printed out the Lakeside Trail today to use as reference, but then got up to Bays Mtn Park only to remember that they close at 5PM weekdays still. (So found my geocache that folks are whining that it is missing. No, there and just difficult.)--Vhasler 21:57, 7 April 2011 (EDT)
