Dopplr
is committed to open conversation about its products and services. Conversations should be conducted in the spirit of the Company-Customer Pact.
I'm a college student studying abroad, so most of my trips are more than a simple "go and return" type option that Dopplr currently allows. (In other words, I have 3 "home" locations, any of which I may reside in for some length of time, and book a return ticket later). I need a way to "move", ie, not insert a return date/time (after-all, one way tickets aren't that uncommon). Furthermore, there should be an option to manually specify the origin of a trip, not just the destination. I see that you're trying to automatically figure this out, but in my experience it is often incorrect, even after I change my home location accordingly prior to trip insertion.
I recently joined dopplr and added most of the trips I did while living in Berlin. I now moved somewhere else and will do my trips from there, but I wanted to add some other trips that I did while living in London over a year ago.
First of all, if I add a trip in the past (before I joined dopplr), will it count the carbon from my current city? or from the city where I lived when I joined? (Berlin)
In both cases, is there a way I can enter another city as the home base back then?
It seems quite a few people who move have problems with the home city switch, would it not be easier to just be able to enter where one lived between specific dates?
i understand that dopplr is focused on alerting friends about your future travel plans, but now that it saves data of old trips (at least in rss), wouldn't it make more sense to let people add their old trips so as to build up a fuller profile?
this is especially important for starters because not everyone have travel plans but most of us have at least travelled somewhere.....so at least i have something to enter on my trips page! =p
How does Flickr integration work? Dopplr found photos for one segment of my trip, but not others (it's possible that in converting to JPEG from RAW I lost some of the metadata, but that's got to be fairly common). It would be great if you could somehow 'select' the photos you'd like Dopplr to show using tags or set names in Flickr! So if I tag something 'Dopplr:Banff, Canada' then it would pick that up automagically.
I also wonder if it would be possible to link to more than one Flickr account -- both my wife and I use Flickr but we only have one Dopplr account so we can only show photos from one of the accounts.
Dopplr does not accept Ostend, Belgium (in neither of its spellings - Ostende, Oostende) as a trip destination -- it does not know about this one of the major ferry ports.
Dopplr API:add_trip "start|finish { iso 8601 date }", in certain circumstances, sets the date of the trip incorrectly due to DST. If I specify the start or end date as e.g. 20090621T23nnnnZ i.e. 21/06/2009 23:nn:nn (GMT) which is actually 22/06/2009 00:nn:nn (BST), Dopplr sets the date of the leg's date to 21/06/2009. I believe what's happening is that the server seems only to process the date and ignores the time details.
Not a show stopper as I can handle this my side, but not obvious from the current API docs.
Hello there, i run a band website called weareskylarkin.com, the band is Sky Larkin, they are already on Dopplr. What I want to do is create a Dopplr / Google Map page that shows the bands latest location at the time the user clicks on the page. essentially mapping the Dopplr info into a google map that is embedded into the page. Is this possible?
Is Dopplr exploring integration with LinkedIn so my LinkedIn connections can see my travel schedule? TripIt already does this, as a LinkedIn Application. Many of my LinkedIn connections use TripIt. I am tempted to use TripIt just for this reason, but I don't want to have to maintain both Dopplr and TripIt. I see you can feed Dopplr from TripIt data, but I don't see the reverse. Thanks for your help.
Is it possible via the API to specify what mode of transport a trip will use? The /api/add_trip URI doesn't seem to allow me to set outgoing_transport_type or return_transport_type and I can't find any hints on the API wiki.
For a while now, dopplr has begun to consistently take the event name for the location. In the past, the location field was parsed as the place where an event would take place. Now, Dopplr has begun to parse the title field as the location.
I have been made aware of this by colleagues who get trip notifications to places I am not planning to go. I have not made any changes to the way my iCal files are automatically updated at Dopplr.
I have removed all iCal calendars and readded them but without effect. Dooplr still shows trips to the wrong places because it is parsing the title field. I am talking about events that do all have the location field filled in correctly.
Secondly, events are now appearing in my Dopplr directory that are clearly parsed the wrong way concerning dates. For instance, I have several trips on "11th November 1123" or others in the 1970's.
Could you please create a dopplr blackberry client. The client should be able to add trips automatically (or ask me which ones to add). That would save me the hazzle of adding the trips manually...
I was wondering why the things I add to a city's "Explore" tab only show up when I'm logged in. They disappear when I'm logged out. Is there a trick to adding them for other travelers to see?
There should be a subtitle near the "Add a note (optional)" field in the "Add a trip" page to explain that notes are public i.e. shared with your network.
I always confuse them with the Trip Description, which can only be set from the trip page and is private. I sometimes use the description to enter stuff like my flight bookings so I don't want to make these public by accident.
I spend the majority of my days in Stratford-upon-Avon, because that's where I work. I live in Warwick, and spend a lot of time there and in Leamington.
It'd be good to be able to set a work town as well as my home town.
The map for an upcoming multi-stop trip shows an unrelated city (a previous "home" city). The other end of the trip correctly shows my actual home city.
(This trip goes Vancouver, Sydney, Auckland, Vancouver, yet the map includes London)
