Track styling and short code issues

    Hi, I really like the plugin but am having some issues. In my admin area the shortcode help is formatted incorrectly. I found the help at https://leafext.de/extra/helper/ instead.

    1. It is not clear to me how to change the style of individual tracks in the multi elevation environment. I can find no mention of this at https://leafext.de/en/multielevation/dokumentation/ or in examples using this plugin.
    2. It appears I need to create a custom theme: In your elevation.css put the styles like the theme styles in https://unpkg.com/@raruto/[email protected]/dist/leaflet-elevation.css or check out Raruto's examples. But how does one assign a specific styling to a specific track?
    3. Example: In a perfect world this would work:
    [leaflet-map width=100% height=60vh fitbounds]
[elevation-track file="address-of-track-1.gpx" color="black"]
[elevation-track file="address-of-track-2.gpx" color="dashed red"]
[multielevation]

    If I have many tracks maybe it makes more sense to include leaflet directly and not use the leaflet map and leaflet map extension plugins. I am new to leaflet and javascript+wordpress so I apologise if these are obvious questions. Many thanks.

    In my admin area the shortcode help is formatted incorrectly.

    This should not be so and can have many causes. The server cache (not one from a caching plugin), an incomplete installation of WordPress or the plugin, some settings in the server configuration. Or two plugins are not compatible. I don’t know. You are the first with this problem. Open the developer console of your browser (Strg+Shift+I on Firefox). Are there any errors?

    It appears I need to create a custom theme:

    There are 7 default themes to display an elevation profile of one track. You can change the colors in the backend /wp-admin/admin.php?page=extensions-leaflet-map&tab=elevationtheme or you can configure your own styles. The latter, however, is not for beginners. And I think, you don’t need it.

    multielevation uses these colors for the charts only.

    For multielevation you can change the color of the highligted track: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=extensions-leaflet-map&tab=multielevation

    You can’t influence the color of a track in multielevation, this is a fixed function.

    You can set the color of the track with leaflet-gpx, but there is not an elevation profile.

    Many thanks for the reply. There are errors on the shortcode helper page about not loading pngs from the opentopology map – “Failed to load resource:…”. I think this is for the first example at the top of the page. I’m not concerned about this problem, I just thought I should let you know.

    “You can’t influence the color of a track in multielevation, this is a fixed function.” If one was to go in search of changing these fixed settings, is there a natural place one should start?

    Happy coding. 😉
