Testing 1 2 3

[ADVGD]

Hi all

It is still early stages in development, but if you have a spare two minutes it would be great to get some feedback on how the Adventure Guide Google map is loading across various internet connections throughout New Zealand.

Step 1: click on this link www.adventureguide.co.nz (http://www.adventureguide.co.nz/index.php)

Step 2: check for the following things to happen...


The Google map of New Zealand should load with a few routes, huts and fishing spots.
You should be able to use the mouse to drag the map around and double-click to zoom in on the map (as you would normally do on a Google map)
Along the top of the map there are three tan coloured buttons: Routes, Huts and Fishing. By clicking on these buttons you should be able to show or hide these particular elements
If you click on one of the routes, huts or fishing spots and information box will pop up with an image, details, and a link to click on (link will lead to construction page at this stage)
Clicking on the X at the top right of this information box will close this box

The main point of this exercise is to check that the layers (routes, huts, fishing spots) are correctly being loaded and overlaid onto the map. There is still some tweaking to do on some of the JavaScript Google map scripts regarding loading times and layer orders however I believe I have it pretty much sorted. Any and all feedback is welcomed

Thanks :)

Fyi the map is still looking very naked of routes at the moment but now that the majority of the base coding is done the stack of routes I have here ready to load will be put up over the coming few weeks

Seems to be working well for me :niceone:, im using google chrome. The resizing of the map depending on if you have selected (routes/huts etc) is a cool feature.

[warewolf]

Using the mouse scroll wheel zooms the map and scrolls the page; it should do only one at a time.

Win XP SP3 and Firefox 6.0.2.

[Transalper]

W7, Firefox 6.0.2
looks good but....

-the scroll wheel zooming the map and scrolling the page when the mouse pointer is over the map as warewolf says is an issue.

-clicking the route/hut/fishing buttons to switch off the feature works well but when you click to turn any of the features back on the map jumps and resizes, I found that off putting as I loose my place on the map if you know what I mean.

About to check IE.

[chainsawbike]

works good on firefox(6.0), midori( webkit, pre-release )
also works on my "cellphone" using firefox ,opera and its stock browser( xulrunner based i think )

the only thing i dont like is that it changes the zoom level/position when enabling the layers (routes, huts, fishing spots)

other than that looks very good :)

[Transalper]

W7, IE 9

The scroll wheel works properly or as expected only zooming when mouse over the map, only scrolling when mouse away from the map.

The Route/hut/fish buttons act the same as in Firefox with the map jump/zoom when switching features back on.

Everything else seems ok.

[Coolz]

Works for me to.No data on the north island yet I see.Thats okay I like to keep my fishing spots secret!

[Waihou Thumper]

Very nice work, this is going to be a very handy tool. Well done. :)

Ipad2. All good.

Good feedback, thanks guys :niceone:

What he said...using Firefox 4.0 in Ubuntu.

Good site though :yes:

[cooneyr]

Same scrolling issue for me. My Bro in Law fixed that for my site - no idea how. Obviously go rip any code you want from my site if it works for you.

FF 6.0.2 on W7

Cheers R

Fantastic mate, good to see the southern fishing spot X's
even better not seeing our northern ones :lol:

Cheers Ryan, a nice simple wee function:

function wheelevent(e)
{
if (!e)
{
e = window.event
}
if (e.preventDefault)
{
e.preventDefault()
}
e.returnValue = false;
}
GEvent.addDomListener(map.getContainer(), "DOMMouseScroll", wheelevent);
map.getContainer().onmousewheel = wheelevent;

The fishing spots are quite general but very good for those touring new areas and looking for a place to wet their line, certainly no secret spots revealed, those don't even have a price :)

[Squiggles]

Looking good,
I found the bit below annoying, turning them off fine but back on and out we go!

The map functionality needs a full makeover to address the issues above which will take some time, for now that can wait, the main focus is to upload articles so there is content up. I have had a roundup of huts I have stayed at but not yet uploaded and added them, there is now a good number of huts and routes mid South Island.

Articles are going up daily with much much much more to come...

So are you in for this weekends overnighter?... the Diggers Ride.

[ADVGD]

So are you in for this weekends overnighter?... the Diggers Ride.

I'm working on it, do you happen to have a 8kg sledge hammer?


Hmm, after stripping down the clutch it appears there is an issue with one of the Rekluse slide weight ball grooves that caused the slipping clutch. A different approach will be needed to get going before tomorrow, I'll go and see what I can do with a big arse hammer, gas torch, an angle grinder and keep you posted on the progress :p

[Transalper]

Got a big one at work but don't think it's quite that big.
Wasn't talking to you anyway, I seen your posts in the Diggers ride thread, I know you're trying though I don't understand the problem with your slipper clutch slipping. Isn't that what it's for :laugh::bleh:
Was talking to this Squiggles person whom claims to be new to the area and "itching to start ticking all these rides off":wait: Just saying now is good.

Speaking of now... flipping a coin over using very well used E09 rear or just well used D606 rear. Think I'll go with the 606. Off downstairs to change it over, back soon..ish.

Classic, I was joking mate :laugh:

The problem has been isolated to the frontal auto clutch power return transfer reduction inductometer failing to disengage from flux-polycarbonate lined forward facing brackomexinator lock release mechanism. Very common problem :bleh:

Yep, sounds like a job for an 8kg sledge hammer to me. I'm sorry I just don't see the joke. :shutup:

What joke?

Must be all that awesome power.

You sure it's the forward facing brackomexinator lock release?
My research indicates it's usually the tangential lock release.

[vegeman]

good job on that site...I can see that being very popular.

I'm on apple macbook running osx 10.7, works well in both safari and Firefox...nice work.

Whats the plan with filling the site with content, will you be needing others to document, upload etc?

Thanks for the input vegeman, much appreciated

Documenting the entirety of the South Island as an individual is a significant task, but a very enjoyable one. I am just a few weeks away from moving to Karamea specifically for Adventure Guide. For the 2012/2013 fishing season I plan use that as a base to start at the top of the West Coast of the South Island and ride/fish down the entire the West Coast plus some of the Nelson/Marlborough region, once complete (approx 1 1/2 years), I'll be shifting to Central Otago late 2013 and presumably spend a minimum of two years riding the extensive areas and fishing the fantastic waters that Central offers. The website will remain a free resource for all to use and will naturally benefit from the input of others, especially those with local knowledge of areas. Although the website is already structured with the functionality to support multiple article authors, as part of the rebuild later this year I will be making this more functional. I will let everyone know when this is complete so for those that would like to contribute, they can, and of course would be most welcomed to do so.

Thanks again :niceone:

Did I?

That's the entire NADS latte budget for the month!

They'll kill me when they find out...
