New Park Name Field

[timg]

I just added a park name field to the courses. The idea being if the course name differs from the park name, you'll still be able to see that on the course page to make finding the place easier. Also, if you're doing a search, the course will show up if you type in either name into the box.

Example here: http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=3

Excellent idea.

I don't think it's saving this field. I went to do this for my home course since the course name is not the same as the park name. I add the name to the course info page, hit submit and nothing. So I go back to the course info page and the field is blank.

Nice! :thmbup:
(look down in the Location Details box on the right, folks).

I just sent info on Surge DGC, which is on the Cincinnati State College Campus. I hope that's OK. That goes to a mod (you, Tim?) first, right?

fyi, Osage Grove is in Kathryn Stagge Marr Community Park in Goshen, OH, but can't be edited yet (Adam hasn't set the official 'launch date' yet: which is fine).

I'll keep an eye out for others around here.

Thanks again, Tim!

Hmm, worked for me just now. What were you trying to enter for the park name?

This is awesome. I don't always want to go through the hassle of going to see the GPS coordinates then trying to copy/paste them in maps while on the road. It would be very convenient to just search for the park name. I tried doing that before but ran into the same problem - course names not matching park names.

I'd probably stick to parks only... I guess I could change the field to "Park/Location Name" for that kind of stuff though.

Fixed...

Great call man. Anything to help him them courses on road trips helps.

Yup, it's working now, thanks TimG!

I support this. With "Park" being the most common word in the name field, most of those are probably covered.

It would seem to be more important for courses on schools, ski hills, golf courses, camps, resorts, corporate campuses, military bases, airports, sand mines, farms, orchards, cemeteries, shopping malls, ....

Perhaps "Located In"?

This is excellent I have already changed two courses I have played to have the park listed.

"Located in" might not be bad. Too late to change it tonight. Maybe tomorrow.

 

[rd.bittle]

This is a great deal. Thanks timg.

 

[scarpfish]

Excellent feature. I've updated three courses already. :thmbup:

 

[BogeyNoMore]

Me like! IDGC and several others updated already.

^ Seconded.

Noice.

I was just thinking this would be useful for parks or properties that have more than one course. :thmbup:
