Petrol Price Plugin for UK
Just a quick pic of a very rough project that I am now working on.
At first it will be a plugin but if all works well it might be able to add it to RR's source code using the gas prices as a base.
SkinCommands
Buttons
petrol_postcode - brings up OSK to change postcode
petrol_refresh - force refresh of data from web if available
petrol_range - brings up NUMOSK to change range (5,10,15,20)
petrol_fuel - brings up OSK to change fuel type (leaded,unleaded,diesel,lpg,premium unleaded)
In the following x is (1-5)
petrol_x_fdnavigate - Send GPS coords to Freedrive and plot route
Labels
petrol_postcode - Postcode
petrol_searches - Number of searches left this week
petrol_updated - Last time a successful update occured
petrol_range - currently selected search range
petrol_fuel - current fuel to search for
In the following x is (1-5)
petrol_x_price - price of selected fuel
petrol_x_distance - distance from postcode
petrol_x_updated - last time this stations info was updated
petrol_x_address - street and town of the station
petrol_x_address2 - county and postcode of the station
petrol_x_name - petrol station brand
Indicators
In the following x is (1-5)
petrol_x_icon - Fuel company logo

hooray
another piece of the puzzle ,thats about to have the final peice put in.
nice 1 enforcer
hows your plugin getting the info,as i think the US ver. use's the zip.dat file,
so will your be on the same idea,and will we be able to Map it as in the US ver. to the gps software we us(tall order), i suppose ,if your plugin displays the station postcode its just a matter of entering that into the gps (Easy option),also idon't know where you got your list of stations from, but like most list they are all ways missing something, any chance of adding missing stations either through the plugin or manually into the list file.
i suppose i better get d6 to work with postcodes (sends me in the wrong place at the moment)

My main issue at the moment is the other way round, I need to convert GPS to Post Code. Because at the moment you have to enter the post code to find the nearest stations, but it would be nice to do it from current GPS location.
And will you stop writing in red, it makes it harder to read and consequently I tend to skip your posts. |

Wow! information overload!!!
Who the hell designed that site, far too busy. But then maybe that's probably not helped by that fact that I don't understand a word of it. 
Will take a course in dutch and have a look into it once the UK one is done. |
