GetJealous.com Offline Upload

The GetJealous.com off-line screen is for our members who need to minimise their time on-line while uploading their updates. The screen is much les intuitive than the normal admin screens but do allow entries to be written without being connected to the Internet. They are also designed to be as small as possible for use with slow modems. It is possible to upload both diary entries and gps stops using these screens as described below

Upload Diary Entries

In order to upload a diary entry, you will need to create a single text-file in the following format:

sitename,password
DIARY
start_date (yyyy/mm/dd),end_date (yyyy/mm/dd)
diary_title
text line 1
text line 2
text line 3
DIARY
start_date (yyyy/mm/dd),end_date (yyyy/mm/dd)
diary_title
text line 1
text line 2
text line 3
END

You can have as many diary entries as you wish, and each diary entry can have as many 'text lines' as needed. An example follows:

testuser,mypwd
DIARY
2004/03/31,2004/04/28
