 * Hey man, great plugin.
 * I have a couple suggestions though.
 * Instead of making users mess with the ugly custom fields meta box that WordPress
   used by default, consider making a custom write panel (meta box) for your fields.
   This will pretty things up greatly. It’s also really easy to do since you already
   have the custom fields!
 * If you need help, just let me know or ping me in IRC – jared^. I’m usually on
   during work days.
 * Also, not sure how you would go about this, but it would be great if the plugin
   would have an option for us state side peeps which would let us use miles instead
   of km!
 * cheers

 * Thank your for your feedback.
 * Im very glad if someone else can and will use Runners Log.
 * I totally agree it could be nice if it was more easy to add your data after you
   did a run. Im pretty new to wordpress I first installed it the 19th of Dec 2009,
   so… 🙂
 * Im also not the must skilled programmer (Im a M.D professionaly) but I have gladly
   used #wordpress for help.
 * I will contact your on IRC
 * Regard miles – it already on the todo-list.
 * I would love to get some help 🙂
 * Best regard, and happy new year

 * I’m so glad I came across this. I am actually looking for a plugin to upload 
   my garmin stats to but to also show routes on a google map. Is this a possibility
   in the future or do you know of an easy way to upload my info to google maps?

 * Well, I think I can say that this will not support import of data from your garmin
   tool. This is far over my skills. So unless there is a skilled coder that can
   and will add that feature – I have to disappoint you…
 * But for that you can use garmin.connect.com – its a very powerfull tool.
 * If you like to have a list of your latest run uploaded to garmin.connect in a
   widget you can use the Garmin Connect plugin: [http://garminconnect.codedrobot.com](http://garminconnect.codedrobot.com)
 * But to use this plugin you have to manually add your data…
 * Best regards,
 * Frederik

 * Hmm I can see Garmin got a API: [http://developer.garmin.com/web-device/garmin-communicator-plugin/](http://developer.garmin.com/web-device/garmin-communicator-plugin/)
 * Well, it is not first priority – but should be possible to add a map in your 
   post: eg. like: [http://developer.garmin.com/web/communicator-api/apidemo/garminDeviceDisplayDemo.html](http://developer.garmin.com/web/communicator-api/apidemo/garminDeviceDisplayDemo.html)

 * Hi
 * I’m new to WP – and not very good at php – but i know how to use an editor (notepad
   ++) and to find my way around in the maps and the theme of WP.
    So now i have
   been trying for hours to make this plugin work – but all i get is this message
   at the top line:
 * Meters is the setting atm – and nothing more !
 * And i have checked php extensions – as i understand is only used for the graphic
   part – and they ar both activated.
 * php_gd2
    php_phar ————————————————— What can i be doing wrong – any ideas would
   be very welcome – thanks !
 * Regards

 * Hey Jens,
 * Thanks for trying to install this mod.
 * What did you paste into your template?
 * Did you make any new post with distance and time?

 * Would be great to add a shortcode like [runnerslog](http://codex.wordpress.org/runnerslog)
   to integrate stats in posts!

 * Now 1.6.0 is released – the short code release.
 * Now the following short codes is supported:
 *     ```
       [runners_log_basic]
       [runners_log_graph]
       [runners_log_graphmini_distance]
       [runners_log_graphmini_hours]
       [runners_log_graphmini_calories]
       [runners_log_pie_distance]
       [runners_log_pie_hours]
       [runners_log_pie_calories]
       [runners_log_bar_distance]
       [runners_log_bar_hours]
       [runners_log_bar_calories]
       ```
   
 * I was able to add it myself 🙂

 * Sorry – I tried to copy the complete page.php file to show where I placed the
   installation line. What I have done is this:
 * I pasted:
 * _<?php if (function\_exists(runners\_log\_basic)) echo runners\_log\_basic();?
   > _
 * into the page.php file of the template. But nothing happens – what am I missing
   here ?

 * I’m at work so I can’t look it up – but I don’t think you need to echo the function,
   you should be able to just call it.
 * Also, try using the shortcode(s) in a page/post with the new release.
