Maintain your own profile on the Member List and Rider Finder pages

[Spiderman]

For those of you that still remember the old CSC's main site (before, and during the early days of the forum), you might remember the old Member List and Rider Finder pages. These were static pages that I used to maintain until a couple of years ago when: a) the workload got too big, and; b) I was planning on linking them to the forum database. This linking work was almost complete in July of 2004, but when the forum was upgraded to the current format (IntegraMod), it's different security protocols effectively nulled the work I had done.

I have just recently finished re-writing them. A small group of people has entered their information to help me test things out, and everything seems to be working fine now.

I also added a place for you to enter Emergency Contact Information. This won't be publicly displayed or shared, but will be available to club officers in the case of an emergency. It's completely optional, but we urge everyone to fill it out.

Here are the new pages:
New Member List
New Rider Finder

Here is a direct link to the page where you can enter & maintain your info (you must be logged in to do this):
Member Maintenance

Update 11/30/06: This feature is now functioning again, and a link to the above page appears on both the Member List and Rider Finder pages (if you're logged in)

If anybody has any questions, or finds any problems with these pages, please let me know.

Looks great Bob!! Ya done good pa, ya done good!

[Spiderman]

Thanks

Please note, in order for your info to appear on the member list, you MUST enter ALL of the following:
- Bike Year
- Bike Make
- Bike Model
- Bike Color, and
- The year you started riding

If any one of them does not have a value, your info won't appear on the member list.

So if you sign up for the rider finder, all of your posted information is public... phone number, e-mail, etc...

[Spiderman]

It's all documented on the Maintenance page, but you have to read everything. I tried my best to make sure it's clear, but if it's not, please let me know.

The minimum required for Rider Finder is your zip code & city. If you populate those fields, your name will appear in the appropriate place on the Rider Finder page.

If you also populate the Telephone # (in the Rider Finder section), it will appear with your name on the Rider Finder page. The same applies to Cross Street.

You can choose whether or not your email address is displayed - it's controlled by the radio buttons at the bottom of the maintenance page.

Does this clear things up?

[Spiderman]

I've just found out that there may be a problem entering/maintaining your info if you have Windows XP Service pack 2 installed, and are running Internet Explorer version 6.0.2900.2180. In this case, some fields may be yellow, and you won't be able to see the data as you enter it into them. Also, once it's entered, the only way to view it is by hilighting the entire field. I'll see if I can fix that tonight. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Bob, the Google Toolbar might be the culprit. It highlights any boxes that it can "autofill".

Good stuff Bob. Can I just host my own bike photo, rather than going through the submission process?

[Player 2]

I'm with Barn. I'd like to be able to enter a URL to my photo. Saves you a lot of work in the long run

I think I may be able to accommodate that. I'm also looking at trying to allow more than 1 photo, but that might take longer. I can't do anything from work right now, so stay tuned here to find out when it's done.

[Spiderman]

Hot-linking has now been enabled. The URL must contain the "http://", and is limited to 100 characters. At the moment we can still only handle one photo at a time.

[~Barn~]

Sweet! Great new Member List, Bob.

Nice pictures everyone!

LoLo! Retake one that's in focus man! That sick ass bike of yours, deserves a better photo.

[Spiderman]

For photos that are hot-linked, I've modified it so large photos will be reduced to a width of 640 pixels, but you can click on them to view the image full size.

[Spiderman]

To both the Member List and Rider Finder, I also just added a nifty little feature that allows you to filter new entries in the past day, week, or month (it's near the top of the page).

Bump

Just reminding everyone that these new pages are available and you can maintain your own info. Right new only 100 or so people have entered their info.

[Gallep]

Nice work, I added all my info... well someone had to represent from Greeley :P Oh sorry, my name is pete, i only show up when the season starts to show up, and then duck under the radar during winter (Insurance Reasons)

[Spiderman]

As a result of the recent site upgrade, the link (in the red box) in your profile went missing, making it difficult for people to add themselves or update their info. This has now been fixed.

[Spiderman]

A fix to the problem on Tuesday has caused a problem (something related to cookies), effectively preventing anyone from maintaining their Member List and Rider Finder profile. I will be working on this, and will post here again when it's fixed.

Sorry about the inconveience.

[Spiderman]

This has been fixed. I had to move things around, and although I think I tested everything, it's possible I may have missed something. If you find any problems with the Member List, Rider Finder, or maintaining your profile, please reply here or send me a PM.

[Spiderman]

I was just informed that the links in the first post were no good anymore (which would have happened when I moved the pages they point to late Saturday night). The links have been fixed. Sorry for any inconveniene.

Did you know the drop down list of countries misspells "Colombia". It's spelled as the river or District, not the sovereign nation in South America.

Just an observation, since I live here half the year.

[Spiderman]

Sorry, but that's part of the forum software, not Member List & Rider Finder.

I tried changing it in the database, but that doesn't seem to be having any effect. I might have to change the name of the actual file, but I don't have access to the server at the moment.

[felis]

I'm just curious, is this feature still available? When I'm trying folliowing the links to the lists, I'm getting 404s...
