Blogged Routes
Well the Blogged Routes code is coming on well.
Based on some earlier work but this time using database tables some more code its now generating the pages on the fly from the database.
The code is “clever” in that its output differs on where it is called from:
From Scribblings from the Mintball
As you can see the Scribbling from the Mintball page “knows” you are in the Mintball Blog and so changes the output accordingly.
The next bit of work is the Route Stats which can be embedded into ANY post which will give stats (start and end places, distance and locks) for any day of any blogged route. But again if they are on an entry belonging to a blogged route the stats will be created automatically.
After that I’ll work on the day maps which will behave in a similar fashion.
Of course once I’ve done this I’ve got to build the user interface to allow the blogged routes to be manipulated – at the moment I have to hand crank it but I wanted to make sure it was possible to do the presentation with the data before working on the code to load/maintain the data.
