Help on adding market to map

[Deane Johnson]

Are there any step by step instructions on how to add one's marker to the map. Instructions intended for dummies to understand would be preferred.

This may be what you are looking for:

• To insert a marker you must be logged in.
• If you are logged in a "your entry" button will appear next to the show map button.
• To insert your marker you have to click the "your entry" button. That will load a smaller version of the map.
• To insert your location a you must enter the latitude and longitude by dragging and zooming the map to get a closer view of your location. If you keep zooming you will eventually see your street name if Google has the streets for your area loaded. TIP: Double clicking will center the map on that exact spot.
• After centering the text field must be filled in (the maximum number of characters is 50.
• Confirmation is done by clicking the Insert your information page.
• After the initial insert the “Your Entry” button will change function automatically and will allow you to get the direct link information and allow you to update your location.
• The information is automatically filled in for HTML, BBCODE and URL.
• The same page also functions as your personal update page once you have entered the data. This includes a delete function to remove your data and marker. A RED marker will show the previous location you entered.
• If the information is changed by using the map the links will automatically change, but the data change MUST be confirmed in the database by clicking the update button.

Here's where I get in trouble.

I can place the market on the map just fine.
I can type my name in the Marker Text box.
I have nothing to type in the URL box.
When I click on "Insert the information" I get the box that says it can do it because one or more boxes have been left blank.

Just put N/A in the blanks and it will take. I'm not sure why, but it requires something in each field. You may could put an * or a . in there.

Thanks, I think I've been succesful.
