Looks great Jeff, great job...  I noticed that when you hit "Return to Homepage" it brings up the error "There is no value for cgifunction"  
You probably allready know about this but I just wanted to let you know in case you didnt.

oops. ;D

I fixed it. I guess I was not sure what I wanted homepage to be. Back to the main search page? Thats where I pointed it for now.

You guys should spread the word on this where you can. The more entries we get will the more functional itwill be for our visitors. I will try to figure out where to put a "Find a sawmill" link on the forum where its noticable.

Post by: Sawyerfortyish on May 25, 2003, 07:06:35 AM
I think i'm in Just a suggestion maybe under the member map to the left you could put a find a sawyer quick link. I don't see how you use this do you click on the toolbox and do a search?
Title: Re: Add yourself! Find a sawmill database.

Post by: Jeff on May 25, 2003, 07:29:52 AM
If you want to see the whole list, just hit search without putting anything in the boxes. It will return all the records entered so far.

Anybody see any glaring problems yet? I am trying to pretty up the format some.

Thanks Jeff I too took my turn,I was wondering though can we put ourselves in two different catagories??

Post by: Jeff on May 25, 2003, 03:37:05 PM
O.K.
Here is your chance to see if you remember your logins. I have found a way for at least USA guys to add a map. Go back in and find the field "postal code for map" and put in your zip. I dont think it works for Canada, but if you don't add anything, nothing will appear.

I recommend once you add it, you try the map link and make sure it does point to where you live.

I need some suggestions for the link to the left. Find-a-mill does not fit everybody. What would work?
Title: Re: Add yourself! Find a sawmill database.
Post by: Fla._Deadheader on May 25, 2003, 05:01:11 PM
I added our mill to the database. The zip code was there an hour ago, and now it's not?? I refreshed and tried everything else I could think of. What am I missing??
  Nice touch to the best Forum out there. ;)
Title: Re: Add yourself! Find a sawmill database.
Post by: Rob on May 25, 2003, 05:03:42 PM
Jeff how about

                         Find-a-Mill
                               or
                     Timber Harvester

                           Maybe yes/no ideas??

                                         Rob.
Title: Re: Add yourself! Find a sawmill database.
Post by: Rob on May 25, 2003, 05:08:02 PM
Fla,

     login to it and scroll down and it should say :Postal code for map" right under City..Atleast that what I have anyway see if that works.

                                           Rob.

Heya Jeff
This thing is cool and Im sure will be a benefit to all who use the service. Nuther thing it'll be good for is whenever you go on a trip, you can find out where all the mills are and hava visit ;D 8)
Thanks for doing this.

Jeff this is a great idea! One problem though, it won't let me add my city. In the drop down for cities it just has the provinces listed.
  Did I screw up some how?

Thanks Jeff,
The clickable code works like a champ.  Guess I need to read up on my coding, been too many years, too many advancements for this old 4gl programmer. need to learn some html and java and perl, I guess.  

Thanks again for the tip, Fantastic job.

Great work Jeff,...It is great to have direct contact with the administrator of the site, gets us what we want......you da man!!

Cant wait until you build us a virtual sawmill!!   :D :D  That would be awesome........a sawmill simulator..... :o  

I better not push my luck!! ::)
Title: Re: Add yourself! Find a sawmill database.
Post by: Jeff on May 25, 2003, 08:35:58 PM
Thanks. I aim to please.

Is this sorta like a virtual sawmill?  It has a log with a head that moves back and forth...

Post by: biziedizie on May 25, 2003, 08:49:31 PM
Paul_H if we're not in Kansas anymore then where are we??? Will we ever get back home???

  Anyways I will try this again and see what happens. If it doesn't work and you hear a thumping noise that's just me banging my head against the wall. :D

Jeff I don't know what happened but everything seems to be ok now. :) One question though does the underscore in between British and Columbia effect the way it looks on the page, it seems like the Columbia part goes behind the picture.
  Thanks!

Nope, its got nothing to do with it. :)

Sawwood,

The problem was you used a user name that began Ron"s

that quote screwed it up. Not allowable character. I had to delete the record all together. Make a new one.

You got that right Jeff, have a 15" monitor as the 19 won't fit under the shelves of this wonderful desk unit that I bought in a hurry. Think I might take the chainsaw to it soon and build me a nice desk.

  BTW I think the Find-a-Mill thing is very cool!

I just wish I had my mill up and running and a small business started at it so I could post it on the Find-a-Mill Thingy.. :(    I hopefully will by mid summer , that is if I stay out of the beer fridge on those hot days...   (https://forestryforum.com/smile/all_coholic.gif)

Hey Buck keep at it and that mill will be running very soon ;)  Stay out of the beer fridge cause you won't get any work done if you hang around that. Better yet send me the beer fridge as I don't have one. :D
