Hello.
We have a user map, and it spured on a thought that we should have a similar map but to designate points of bushcraft interest such as bushcraft schools, woodlands, etc.
Each different type of area should have a different coloured dot.
IE. Schools = Red Dot
Woodland = Brown Dot
Forest = Green Dot
An idea of how it could work is you first click add new position and then click the area.
Then when Your happy you click submit.
Then a form comes up and you click on a checkbox of what that area is (School, Forest, Woodland). This will decide the colour of the dot.
The you could have an area for the name of the area
The address
Whats allowed and whats not (such as fires, chopping wood)
Then a description of the area.
Just my 2p :D

Not a bad suggestion. :biggthump Now it's up to the admins and mods to decide... :shock: :o):
Just my 2p :D
i think you mean just my http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v217/BCUK/2p/2p.jpg
i think that was the original idea with the map.. and there have been a few attempts ate making lists of bushcrafting places.. but they are few and far between.. its a good idea to add schools though and you will notice woodlore is already there...!!

Yeah. Thats what i meant.
We could even use the current map, however it would be great to colour code it and even make it so that the inputs vary depending on what it is.
You could have locations of:
Fellow Bushcrafter's = Yellow Dot
Schools = Red Dot
Locations = Green Dot
Shops = Blue Dot
etc :D
Then if they click school and submit a form comes up and they enter maybe these feilds:
Name: "Name of School"
Location: "Address of school"
Courses: "Courses the School do"
etc...
Whereas if they click location and submit then they have a form that is entirely different, such as:
Name: "Name of Place"
Location: "Location of place"
Allows: "What the location allows (such as if your allowed fires there)"
Disallows "The oppisite of above"
etc...
:D
Not a bad suggestion. :biggthump Now it's up to the admins and mods to decide... :shock: :o):And then put in the hours doing the work to make it happen... :wink:
(It's not simply a mattter of just deciding!)

Yeah i suppose it would be alot of hard work. Your right!
Better start early then :wink: ....Only joking :o): :nana:
Anyway. No worrys, just a suggestion i had :D
Hey the map's not my baby anyway. :-D Giancarlo's done a great job with the map! :super: :super:
I think it's a good idea :biggthump and I know the mods and admins will give your idea good consideration before deciding. My only point is that there's more to it than just that. I know these things can appear like they're only a couple of clicks to do and hey presto it's done - but it's just not the case. :wink:
We know Kath.. and we're very thankfull for the time and effort you put in!

cheers guys, that was the original plan for the map, to add schools , locations etc,
I did add Woodlore on there as an example, but only recently removed it since it wasn't fair being the only one there.
Still looking at all this, but i thought a "world map" was higher on the priority list.
Saying that, it's still a bit job... but i guess it's not going to do it itself... even with all my wishfull thinking :)
we'll see how it goes
cheers ;)

Yeah. I know that things appear like there just a click and there not.
I'm trying to learn C++, i wish it was a click away like the executables it produces, lol.
Thanks :D
