## Description

This plugin helps you display up to date information about the status of lifts and
trails on your website. The data is imported from the MTN.XML standard in XML or
JSON format. Any user able to install plugins can set this up and customise it. 
The default configuration provides HTML & CSS that allows display for lifts and 
trails within areas.

#### Installation Via Medic52 Dashboard

As an administrator for your company, login to the Medic52 Dashboard and navigate
to Settings > Resort Settings
 * Look for the ‚Live Lift / Run status feeds‘ * Copy
the link titled ‚JSON‘ * Paste in to the plugin under Settings ‚Datafeed URL‘ * 
Click Save

#### Any XML or JSON MTN.XML feed

Find the URL to your MTN.XML feed and copy it
 * Paste in to the plugin under Settings‚
Datafeed URL‘ * Click Save

#### Shortcode

Once your feed is configured, you can implement the shortcode on any page. This 
is displayed on the first Settings page of the plugin. You can click the ‚Create
a new page‘ button to add a new page with the shortcode installed, or copy it and
place it on an existing page if you prefer.

#### Customisation Trail Ratings

You can customise the Trail Ratings colors and icons as you wish. The plugin comes
with a default set that you are free to use, however your circumstances may mean
that you already present different icons to your audience.

 * Icons *
    To change an icon
 * click on the existing icon to the right of the color picker
 * upload your new icon to the media library (recommended 24px x 24px)
 * select this icon
 * click save at the bottom
 * Colors *
    Select the color next to the trail rating you wish to change and use
   the color picker to alter it. Click save at the bottom.
 * Layout *
    The plugin has two layouts currently, you can list your lifts at the
   top, seperately to the trails, or have lifts and trails combined within each 
   area. Change this with the ‚List Lifts separately‘ in the Customisation tab.

#### Change your Datafeed URL

You can change your data feed URL by clicking the ‚Change URL‘ button in the plugin
settings and saving a new URL.

## FAQ

### Can I use my own data feed?

Absolutely. This plugin uses an XML or JSON form of the popular [MTN.XML](http://www.mtnxml.org)
standard. Many ski resorts use this standard and already publish information readily
available on the public internet.

### Can I use a private data feed?

Your JSON feed must be available with no authentication or authorisation on the 
public internet.

### What can I customise?

In the plugin settings, once you configure your data feed you can then change the
color and icon for each trail difficulty.
