Proficient with working with long and complex URLs in order to establish links in the template to the issues/solutions Has the time required (couple hours a night for a week maybe) to do the work I'd say qualifications for a harvester are: If anyone wants to nominate themselves for the harvest team, please send DE a PM. We'll update our progress under this forum. I in the mean time will work with DE on editing issue/solutions submitted via templates, on building an index and on creation of the final display product. Then we will ask for a couple of volunteers who are capable and self-motivated to go out on the forum in the sections they are assigned to harvest the issues and solutions and populate a template with them and send them into me for incorporation to the database.

I think we just need to see how far this easier project gets us and then we can go from there on potential further development of a Practical Users Guide, if there is still interest, if there are volunteers etc.ĭE and I will collaborate over the next week or so, on a design for the user report and a method of data collection. It is important to note that while I have moved the Practical Users Guide forum and initial thread into this new forum, that for now, this new project does not replace the thought of creating and having a Practical Users Guide. Then I exported that report both as a series of web pages and as an Adobe Acrobat file. I then created a report to display that data.

That database includes a primary data table with a few examples provided by DE. How this is managed as a back office function if of little consequence to the forum users but how it is presented and used is certainly of significance to you.Īs of this morning, I have a Microsoft Access database up and running here at Heartland Owners Forum Headquarters (my home ). Thinking about how we can 'easily' harvest and consolidate all the issues/solutions out there, I played around with several options last night.

I asked DE to create a quick sort of template for a few examples in it. Diesel Engineer (DE) has pushed me (in a good way) into creating some sort of online guide to these issues/solutions. Recently, there's been some discussion about collecting up all the user supplied solutions to issues that have arisen with one's trailer.

This is a daunting task and has yet to get off the ground. For over a year now, we've been talking about creating from scratch, a Practical Users Guide for our Heartland trailers.
