4x4 Colorado

[Chris]

Like Paul, I'm putting a new website out there - http://4x4colorado.com. The focus is on mobile devices though it's fine on desktops as well. Doing things like uploading pics, linking YouTube videos, linking other sites and posting is very easy. No image resizing is needed so anyone should be able to upload pics anytime/anywhere as long as you have a connection.

Feel free to give it a try and post there if you have problems, etc.

You comment on having a 4x4 site with mobile focus. Do you wish FrontRange4x4 to have more mobile friendly features? We're open to suggestions for site improvement - though we wish to keep the RSVP system (or a suitable replacement) in operation.

Thoughts / comments always appreciated.

good idea, there is a facebook group called frontrange trail conditions or something like that that does updates for biking and hiking trails, it's really useful.

I will be putting together maps of trails here pretty soon and posting to the site.

I have GPX tracks for days if there's any interest those.

[Chris]

I need to figure put how to load gpx files to display correctly. Loading them isn't an issue but the display is pretty weird.
It's looking like something that requires a two-stage process.

[96EXXLTinCO]

All I can say about it is they would have to be loaded along with a map that has georeferencing in order to display them. The GPX files themselves could just be made available to download to phone, GPS, or whatever for use with whatever device/program they choose.

[Chris]

Exactly Chad, I played with a script I have from years ago that's pretty interesting but is just for .gpx files and not even close to functioning accurately. There's always an alternative.

[TJS86TOY]

Well, I run the home system off of a server type system. If someone could help me with how to make FTP available from here with a link on the site, anyone could download it and I could host all GPX files. Just a thought.

Hey Chris, when I try to register, the captcha thingie no workie

[Chris]

Sorry about that TJ, It's giving me a bit of trouble. I've disabled it for now so you shouldn't have any problem now.

[Chris]

I decided to fix a few things I've found that didn't work right.



As a result I'm starting over so I'll post back up when I get everything working correctly from the start.

[Chris]

Okay, I found some problems and ended taking the site down to fix it. It's now done and the hiccups are gone. No problems with all functions now. Those of you who registered previously will have to register again. Those of you who haven't feel free to now. You folks will, in essence, be beta testers because until a number of people use it there's no real way to see if any problem appears. I don't expect any but you never know!

Thanks, Chris

My experiment failed. While mobile/responsive sites are cool my attempt didn't work out for a number of reasons I won't bore you with. Oh well, can't say I didn't try and it kept me amused for a while. It's back up in the more traditional format. I'm still interested in trying some new stuff, specifically working with .gpx files.

I can start getting what I have together. (Switched to a larger hard drive and everything's still kind of a mess, need to get it organized) living in Georgetown, we've been trying to take advantage of the proximity of all the trails and I've not had much time to devote to working on it.

[Chris]

I've abandoned the idea of getting my 2TB external organized, it's now my personal scavenger hunt. What a mess!

[96EXXLTinCO]

I hear that. At least yours is on one!! I have 2x 1TB externals and can't keep em straight, what's on which......BUT my lappy went from a 300GB to a 750GB, so I got that goin for me (Bill Murray from Caddy Shack voice)
