    When I put other variables in the infobar template they do not show up on the infobar. For example if i put {timestamp} – {lat},{lon} in the template I still get the default displaying in the infobar. I even changed the below code to this and it still showed in this format {displayname} – {lat},{lon} – {timestamp}

    var $user_meta_defaults = array(
				'ts_infobar_template' => '{displayname} - {timestamp}'

    Well after a week of painful looking around at the code I finally found out what was going on. I thought each user could adjust what they wanted to be seen on the infobar, but you have to change this value on the administrator level. When I tried to set this value on the user level it would not work, but when I set it in the admins profile it made the change. I am not sure if you intended this feature to be controlled on the user level or on the admin level, but i figured it would be on the user level since the data is stored in the users metadata table. But if it is only to be controlled on the admin level, you may close this out.

    A reply to this topic is hopelessly overdue, I’m sorry about that. The template of the infobar should be changeable on the user level, so I suspect there is a bug somewhere. I will investigate, but I’m not sure when I will have time. I’ll keep this open in the mean time.

    Hi,

    I finally had time to look into this, but I haven’t been able to reproduce the problem. Please note that the inforbar template that is used is the one from the author of the page that’s showing the map. So this is independent of which tracks are being shown.

    Every page has an author, and every author (user) has the ability to set the infobar template for his/her own maps in the user profile.

    Can you confirm that this is working for you the way it should? If there is still a problem, I’d like to hear about it!

    Best regards,
    Martijn.

    Ah that makes perfect sense now. I didn’t know it was set by the creator of the page and not user based. Which I like better instead so I can have the control of what my users are displaying on my map. Thanks for digging into this for me and clarifying that it follows the create of the page and not the user.

    Just wondering… when you say “user based”, which user do you have in mind? How did you expect it to work? It seems I am missing something here ??

    I’m asking, because the only user involved in publishing maps with Trackserver is the author of the page.

    Cheers,

    So if you take a look at our site https://www.wxscoop.net/live, you can see I have multiple users on the map, and you can see I have modified the code a little to add a button for the users live YouTube feed. I fully understand what you are saying now that the info bar is set by the author of the page and not each individual user being able to change what they display in the info bar. I understand if they had a page of their own and created it and put their map on there, then they would be able to control what went on the info bar. But I like how you have it setup, because me as the admin of the page, I can now control what they display in the info bar, which I like.

    Ah, by “user based” you mean, that when the live map ‘follows’ one of the users, the infobar would use that specific user’s template. That way of thinking never occurred to me, but it isn’t far fetched. I like how you use the mouseover event instead of a click to start following the user.

    Closing the isue now, thanks for the feedback!

    Cheers,
    Martijn.
