Hi Joe,
What I meant is that when I used the shortcode to point to the gpx in the /upload directory and created a map, it doesn’t automagically get a waymark map id and is not listed in the admin maps overview where all the maps are listed with their mpa-id’s.
I could send you a screenshot.
Best,

Hi Joe,
One more thought. Would it be possible to add maps thus created to the map list and give them a Waymark map ID. Thus all maps would be visible in one place..

Hi Joe,
Great work! I tried it on https://jedeboer.nl/andaluzie/
You deserve a beer when in the Netherlands contact me, or tell me how to donate.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your swift reply. To answer your questions:
75 gpx files are in my /uploads directory
32 gpx files are in the Media library
18 maps were made with WayMark
Some maps created with other plug-ins do contain markers.
Each map containains a single track, though LFhiker plugin makes it possible to display multiple tracks on a single map, simply by adding a line for every track like:
[lfh-gpx src=https://jedeboer.nl/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/track_1.gpx]
[lfh-gpx src=https://jedeboer.nl/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/track_2.gpx]
[lfh-gpx src=https://jedeboer.nl/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/track_3.gpx]
I appreciate your point about having to add waypoints manualy, didn’t realise that.
I was thinking about a shortcode entry which points to the location of the gpx file
All the best from Holland!

Add my vote for adding a filter at on the front end so user can select category to filter which posts are displayed in the grid.

Hi,
Thanks for the tip as I struggle with the same (www.quiterightphoto.nl) but being a noob: which .php and which .css?
Thanks!

Doodlebee,
Thanks for your help so far. Except for the url bit I’ve been going on about, I quite agree that 2.1 is cake and very nice (until you get into the more ccomplex issues like embedding/linking Gallery2 and using plugins to pickup pictures from anywhere and drop them in WP).
I think it’s time to call this issue resolved.

Jan

ArborBarber,
Thanks for your quick reply. I’ll try the xampp route, though I think it would mean re-doing everyting from scratch. Because I’m also trying to embed Gallery2 in WordPress, that’ll take some work and I’m not there yet.

Jan

Thanks doodlebee,
I set my blog url to https://www.jedeboer.nl/wordpress and left my Word Press address url at localhost. Unfortunately this leaves my live site without the template. So it’s still either good on the web or good on my pc, but not both.

So I need to try your second suggestion “I’dput up another installation for development purposes when you don’t want things to be visible on the live site (you can use the same database, just change the prefix in the wp-config file) – just don’t enter any posts into the development area. Then, when you make theme changes that eventually go live, you just have to move the files from one folder to another.” Could you explain howto do this or point me to the right documentation?
Thanks,
Jan

Hi ArborBarber,
Thanks for the trouble of looking into my ‘problem’. I’m probably too new in this whole matter to understand the gist of your suggestion. You are quite clear on what I should do, but not in explaining why doing it would solve my problem (no offence meant).

My domain name is actually registered with a regular ISP. This ISP also provides the facility to route my domain name to my static IP (85.xxx.xxx.xxx)on my pc.

On my router I do portforwarding to the IP of my pc (192.168.xxx.xx). That’s how users on the web can reach my site. What I don’t understand is why i should do the DynDNS and how this would differ from my present setup. And why your suggestion would solve my problem of seeing & not seeing the theme background dependent on where my url’s point to.
Regards,
Jan

Thanks hrawle and doodlebee for your clear replies.
In fact everything I run and do resides on my home pc. My domainname is hosted with an external provider: firstfind.nl. I used to have all my wp-stuff hosted by them but because filespace became too expensive i decided to switch the whole lot to my own pc. My domainname still resides with firstfind, so i did a dns redirect and opened the appropriate ports on my router. So now anyone typing https://www.jedeboer.nl/nnnn arrives on my pc’s harddisk. And when i set my wp urls to https://www.jedeboer.nl/wordpress you and everyone else can see my blog nicely themed. It’s only when i set the wp urls to localhost that the themes don’t show up anymore.
Kind regards,
Jan

Thanks for your patience jrawl,
But I’m afraid your latest answer confuses me now.
I am under the assumption that I only need one database, namely the one that resides on my pc. Also my site is actually live, you can surf to https://www.jedeboer.nl/wordpress.

On my pc at home when in the General Options tab of WordPress admin, I can set both the WordPress address (URL) and Blog address:

Setting you see I see on my pc
————— ——————- —————-
localhost no theme background theme background
https://www.jedeboer.nl theme background no theme backgr.

You can surf to https://www.jedeboer.nl/wordpress to see it, with the full theme / or no theme background.

I will do most posts at home from my pc. Only when traveling abroad would I need to post from an internetcafe.

I’m afraid I’m still confused as to why I see two different views of my site depending on what url I set.

Regards,
Jan

Thanks jrawle,
Thanks for your reply. I’m sorry if my setup seems to confuse you. I’m running everything on a single machine, my pc at home. So there is no externale machine with it’s own WordPress installation/MySQL database etc.
This is my actual setup:
1. Windows XP Home SP2
2. Abyss Web Server X1 2.4
3. MySQL Community server 5.0
4. MyPHP 5.0
5. phpMyAdmin 2.9
6. WordPress 2.1
At presently I’m in the process of embedding Galley2 into WordPress.
When administring/configuring WordPress, I set the URL’s to LOCALHOST so that I can see everything I’m doing.
When I want to see how everything works/looks for an external user, I change the URL’s back to https://www.jedeboer.nl and use proxify to simulate what the external user sees.
Now my question regadering ‘best of both worlds’ is whether there’s a way/workaround to not have to change the URL’s everytime.
I hope this clarifies my previous question.
Thanks again for your help so far.
Regards,
Jan

Thanks guys,
You solved my problem! I now have the full graphic version online for my external users. But I now have the plain version on localhost. I didn’t delete the database however.
Would there be a way of having the best of both worlds without having to re-edit the urls back and forth from local host to https://www.jedeboer.nl everytime I edit my blog?

Jan
