[hanzao]

Firstly you have to goto http://www.bikejournal.com/signup.asp to signup.



It is preferred that you use the same username you have here.



Now once you have succefully registered login

Goto Clubs -> Manage my Clubs



Click on the drop down box and scroll to Australia Cycling Forums, then click on Join Club



Now you have to set your profile to public, to do this goto Riders -> Edit my profile



Now scroll all the way down until you get the part below



Distance Goal for 2010: (rough estimate that you want to do for the year, you can always change it later on)
Make sure the Keep my goals private is un-tick
Note: Previous Distance is blank so fill that in if you want (if you know what your Odo was at the start of the year)

After you have done all this goto 2010 ACF BIKE JOURNAL "Fit" Gits on Bikes Fun Comp and post a reply stating you would like to be added. If you have registered using a different name to your BNA profile please include your BJ username in the post.

Now the fun bit :S

Add the Kms to your total:

Before we can add a Kms you need to configure the Add Ride columns.

Go to Journal -> Configure columns



The Default Column selections are Ride Date, Ride Type & Bike



You need to add 2 more columns Ride Description & Distance (miles)



Now your ready to add Kms to your total.

Click on Journal -> Add ride



Now fill in the details



Once that is done click on add ride

Now you should have your ride listed on the Journal now.



To check if the new Kms has been added to your total go to Riders -> View my profile



And it should have the new total.

Putting the awesome bar at the end of your posts.

First click on "User Control Panel"



Go to Profile -> Edit Signature



Type

Code: Select all

where username is your bikejournal username. Then click on Submit



Now go to any of your past posts and you should have "Missing data ..." on the bottom


that is because Aushiker hasn't authorized you to join the Australia Cycling Forums yet and also you have to post your username at Philips webpage Also do a reply post at 2010 ACF BIKE JOURNAL "Fit" Gits on Bikes Fun Comp stating you would like to be added. If you have registered using a different name to your BNA profile please include your BJ username in the post.

Thanks for that and all of the detailed pics

Is it wrong that I'm enjoying some of this bicycle-themed spam?

How to set to kilometres, tick the metric box in bike journal edit profile, then submit changes.
Many people have asked so here is example :

[casual_cyclist]

Hmm. Mine was working last year. Have done all of that in the first post but it doesn't seem to be working this year. I wonder what I am missing...

hi

I suggest going to http://whatsbeef.net/philip/bike/adduser.php and doing a step by step check. From what I have seen everyone saying it is not working have missed at least one step ...

That is a good idea for a double check:
1) You enter your username here exactly as it is in bikejournal. Case sensitive.
check
2) You are a member of the "Australian Cycling Forums" bikejournal club
Club: Australian Cycling Forums. Status: primary
check
3) You have a 2011 goal listed on bikejournal and your goal is public (you have to set it in your profile by unchecking the "Keep my goals private" checkbox)
Distance Goal for 2011: 6666 km, Keep my goals private is not checked
4) Your bikejournal username returns "Username already entered"

I updated my goal yesterday before lunch so it probably has had 2 goes at updating but I am still getting the error message "Missing data - 2011 goal not found"

I will give it overnight then report back tomorrow.

Hi

You are showing no outdoor rides record hence the script has nothing to pick-up and show. You need to record at least one ride I suspect so get out on Masi

Andrew

[hanzao]

Note: you need to record atleast 1km outdoor ride for your bar to show up. If you dont record any data of course you will get a error

[Aushiker]

Hi Everyone

The below could resolve peoples problems with the viewing. Select Public journal with external link.

Goto Journal -> Configure Journal.... let me know if they resolves your problems.

Hi

They are premium features and have nothing to do with the bar.

[DavidS]

Is it working for anyone at the moment? I can't see any little green graphs with a red triangle.

DS

[stinhambo]

I notice it doesn't reset for the new year?

[HiChris]

Did I miss something here, is there a way to automate the entry from your Garmin site?

[Tornado]

Are the steps above still up to date? I've followed them so I can get started for 2014. I'm getting the missing data message. I'm hoping that once I get accepted to the Aus Cycling Forum and wait for the script to run, I'll be ok. Is this right @Aushiker ?

Sorry I am not involved anymore and haven't been for some time. Maybe someone else can help.

Thanks Andrew. Please ignore my PM to you.

Aushiker's signature generator is no longer operational, however there is this one which I and others use. It appears to still be counting 2013 data though.

http://statmonkey.is-a-geek.net/cycling/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I can't recall who set this up and who maintains it, my search-fu appears to be quite weak tonight so I can't give credit where credit is due for this awesome sig setup.

Edit: I just clicked on the "fetch ride data" button in settings and it's reset my progress to the proper 2014 progress point now which is good.

[Tornado]

Thanks BastardSheep. I've tried going to statmonkey but just get an error page. I did the create new account, gave it a user name, password, the usual stuff. When you hit enter it comes up with an error page. Then if I try to log in with my details it says that the account is locked.

Hi JohnJoyner

kb setup a signature for me and I'm all sweet now. If you have a look at the second page of posts in the 2014 6000km thread he has offered to make signatures up for others. His sigs update most nights at about 11pm Eastern Australian Time approx. 8pm here in the West. If you contact him he may set one up for you too. If you want a sig like mine anyway. He is getting my data from my Strava page.
