During traveling in my RV I’m using a Teltonika RUTX50 Router, which gots the ability to send its GPS data in realtime to a website. And here comes Trackserver in: I installed the plugin, an it seems to work. But there are so many options to configure, that I’m confused.

What do I want?

I want to offer my followers the opportunity to see the route I have traveled and my current location on the aforementioned website. I currently use [tsmap user=bluefire infobar=y markers=e color=blue][/tsmap] which shows part of the route, but not the entire route.
Which syntax is the right one and how can I limit the displayed data in terms of dates so that, for example, only the current month, year, a specific date or a defined period of time from … to … is displayed?

If I put a Trackserver map anywhere on the same page as an OS DataHub Maps plugin map, the first OS DataHub Map of several will not fullscreen properly. Any subsequent OS DataHub Map on the page works fine! I’ve gone over the page source comparing with and without a Trackserver map and can’t find any clue apart from the fact that both plugins are using a different version of Leaflet – Trackserver is 1.9.3 and OS DataHub Maps 1.9.4 and somehow this is causing the problem. I can’t think of a way to test this. How on earth can it affect only the first map?!
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi

Can you explain to me about the settings on the WordPress side.
I created a sheet and put the [tsmap] shortcode and made the settings on the app side, but it gives me the error message of connecting to the server. I also made the settings on the app side according to the guide and I am sure of it.
Please explain how to use the shortcode and its settings in WordPress, and is there anything else that needs to be done in addition to putting the shortcode?
thanks

Hi Martijn,

i’m using:

php 8.3, on Ubuntu 22.04.5 with apache 2.4.52 and WordPress 6.6.2

As i mentioned a year ago the split track feature doesn’t create a new track. Yesterday i noticed that tracks i uploaded doesn’t appear in the ‘Mage tracks’- list. But the files are uploadet. If i increment the id by my self, i can show the uploaded tracks on the map. The next recorded track-id starts with a gap (number of uploaded tracks).

I thought the same happens with spitted tracks but i can’t verify this (no gap).

Do you have any idea to avoid this?

Kind regards

Leo

Hello!
Used the Trackserver-Plugin with my Samartphone an on my WordPress-Site.

I am very satisfied and lucky.

Now i have instaled an GPS-Tracker ( TK 102) in my Motorbike and would like to visualize the track like with the Smartphone on my Website.

It would be very kind to get an answer if, if not an if, how.

Best Regards

Hi, is it possible to show some metadata of track shown (eg distance, altitude…) as a textmap in the map or additionally below the map.

There might be another plugin that anlyses the existing track data and allows that kind of detailing?

Hi,

Can I show all tracks nomatter how they are called just as preparation for new ones that will be created by my tracker that should show up on the website as well without defining them explicitly.

Something like [tsmap track=all]

?

Hi

I am trying to learn how to use trackserver and I am setting up embedded maps based on walks done last July in Corsica and a few days ago in Italia near Florence.

I can apply to the map quite correctly the walks performed in Florence these days, even putting more than one of them on the same map. When I open the map view of these walks automatically the screen shows me the starting point and if I zoom back to see the entire Mediterranean, it does not bring back the maps of the old walks in Corsica. Here everything is fine.
On the other hand, when I build an embedded map with last July’s walks in Corsica, when I preview the map, it places itself on the coordinates of Florence, brings back the track of my last walk in Florence (and it shouldn’t, because I didn’t mention it in the [tsmap track ) and I have to go look in the map for the walks in Corsica that were actually the subject of the map

Ultimately I would like to know how to avoid that:
1) at the time of opening the map will sem,pre place on Florence Italy
2) how to avoid that the last walk always appears even when I load a map that should show an older one

I hope I have been clear:
Excuse my English, I used Deepl to tanslate from Italian

<solved>: increase PHP memory

Showing sinlge tracks on a page works fine. But if I start to show multiple (7 to 8) tracks I will get a internal server error 500. If I reduce the number of tracks the error will disappear.

Is there a limit to the number of tracks? or is there a limit to the total number of points in the tracks?

PHP version: 8.2
WordPress 6.3.2
OS Linux (my best guess, it is a hosted site)

I want to write my own tracking mobile app. This app is to send information tagged with latitude, longitude,speed etc to TrackServer. I am confused about how to send the data. There is no documentation on how to package and send data to TrackServer. The tagged information will be displayed when the marker is clicked on.

Hi,

Just wanted to add some instructions for people that use HomeAssistant and want to forward the location from HA towards Trackserver. You can do this in combination with the normal HA helper app on your phone that is already recording location, or with tracclient towards HA.

Anyhow, from HA you can forward the data to the Trackserver. First create add a section to the configuration.yaml:

rest_command:
  send_location_to_trackserver:
    url: "slug with user credentials from profile page"
    method: post
    content_type: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
    payload: "source=HomeAsssistant&lat={{ lat }}&lon={{ lon }}&altitude={{ altitude }}&bearing={{ bearing }}&speed={{ speed }}"

Reload the template. Now you can make a automation that on a change of location (in this case an iPhone, but can be anything with location in HA, just adjust the attributes if needed) uses the above rest command, for example:

alias: iPhoneData to TrackServer
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - device_tracker.iphoneY
    attribute: latitude
condition: []
action:
  - service: rest_command.send_location_to_trackserver
    data:
      lat: "{{state_attr('device_tracker.iphoneY', 'latitude')}}"
      lon: "{{state_attr('device_tracker.iphoneY', 'longitude')}}"
      altitude: "{{state_attr('device_tracker.iphoneY', 'altitude')}}"
      bearing: "{{state_attr('device_tracker.iphoneY', 'bearing')}}"
      speed: "{{state_attr('device_tracker.iphoneY', 'speed')}}"
mode: single

Maybe you can add it to the profile page or somewhere in the documentation or wiki.

Hi,

is there any way I can use this plugin to receive data from my Teltonika?FMB920 GPS device?

thanks

Hello! Great plugin! How many users can use the plugin? Can I make tracks for multiple vehicles? How can I do that?

Hello. I have to track the paths in a city of several simultaneous devices, and collocate them in the same map. Is this possible with you plugr in? and does it work only with ANDROID devices or with whatever GPS devices (like the ones for the dogs etc…)?

When activating https://en-gb.www.ads-software.com/plugins/classified-listing/

the live tracking window no longer shows any tracks (Live or otherwise) and has an error in rendering of the start stop live updates button

if my site is using PHP 8.0.28 or 8.1.19 with Plesk on Ubuntu, ulogger uploads the track and I can see its points increasing in the manage tracks page, but on the live view page on WP it only shows the first point and the last received timestamp in info bar stays the same (The date and time of that first point).

In ulogger it reports in the synchronization section “xx points behind, server response error” despite the points increasing on the trackserver manage tracks page

turning the site back to PHP 7.4.33 and it works correctly and updates live view accordingly

Hi There

I wondered how is it possible to change the username on the top of the map from Cara Lewis to “DDK Positioning Team”

Thanks

Hi, I have a couple of questions, but first let me say I have been looking for a plugin like this for so long and finally came across this. I’m using this with Traccar and it seems to work perfectly… It’s great thankyou!

1. Is it possible to show the tracks on the frontend like in the dashboard? Like a list of user, date / time and view?
2. Is it possible to change the map type? like google map styles
3. Is it possible to use markers based on user?

Thanks again for a great plugin.

Hi Martijn,

i have:

PHP 8.1.2, Ubuntu 22.04.2 (Server), Apache, WordPress 6.2,

i think sice the last update of trackserver the “split track” function doesn’t work anymore. I chosse edit, select a trackpoint, right click and chose splt track. In the versions before i got two tracks, one with the old id and one with a new id, containing the parts of the track.

Nowadays nothing happens….

Is ther a new way to split tracks?

Thanks for your help

Kind regards

Leo

Hi! I have instaled on my VM Traccar – it has a static IP and a domain name. On my web hosting I have installed Trackserver – how to connect these two? Where can I input my domain or IP adress?

Hi There

I am still learning about how to use WordPress. I’ve developed the above page as some of my colleagues are cycling from one end of the UK to the other to raise money for charity. However we want to do be able to live track them at the bottom of the website. Is someone able to provide a step by step guide to allow me to do this? Thanks

I am looking to center the map over a specific geographic area when I’m not tracking. What file would I need to edit to add my coordinates? I guess you would call it the initial coordinates? Thanks for any help.

I’m getting Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘)’ when I try to activate the plugin. Would anyone know what could be causing this?

It is in the class-trackserver-settings.php?on line?322

PHP version is 7.2.34
WordPress version: 6.1.1
Apache
Linux

Thanks

Dear Support Team,

After upgrading to Trackserver 5.0.1, I have encountered an issue with the following line in my program:
[tsmap user=UserName align=center zoom=13 color=blue live=t markers=e infobar=t weight=1 markers=true {displayname} – {lat},{lon} – {timestamp} – {speedkmh} – {distancekm1}]

The map is moving, but the track and location are not being displayed. I would appreciate your assistance in finding a solution to this issue.

Thank you for your time and support.

Hello

We have testet all but not work

Hey!

Sorry for asking such a (simple) question. I installed your plugin and bought the app “SendLocation” on my iPhone. I’ve put the URL into the App and ticked the switch for share my track. Then I tried to enter the right code for live-tracking on my page but I actually don’t know how to move on.

I’m not that into WordPress. What do I need to enter as a code now to use your plugin as a live tracking solution with SendLocation?

I’ve installed the latest version of WordPress and I use the Divi Builder on my page.

Thank you for helping me!

Can you change the little start and end dots? I want a small image of a car lol can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi, my problems:
First: I can’t get the infobar running – but that should be so complicated!?!
Second (more important): I am planning a bike trip to Riga (from Stuttgart). Eight stages – I have them all on the map in blue color. Now I was hoping, when I do the trip, the live track (in orange color) will cover the planned (blue GPX track). But the live track is always “underneath” the static GPX track – the GPX track is covering the live track. I tested it several times – I changed the order of tracks (live track created through “user=Martin” in front of tracklist or behind – always the same result: the live track does not lay over the GPX track. How can I change this?

Everything else works great!

Shortcode running right now:
[tsmap track=28,27,30,31,32,33,34,35,26,37 user=martin color=#52caa6,#52caa6,#52caa6,#52caa6,#52caa6,#52caa6,#52caa6,#52caa6,#5f90ff,#5f90ff,#ff9c00 infobar=true markers=y align=center weight=6 zoom=15 continuous=y]

I’m trying to. Upload a gpx file exported from track me but it not work.
Can you help me?

Hi~tinuzz
Thanks for the plugin, he is so handy and fun.
I’m building a website for an event, so I’d like the system to send a letter with an access key attached to the user after the contestant has registered. How can I set it up so that the notification letter can append the url containing the OsmAnd access key?
