HHRV Resource Guide

[Mark and Dale Bruss]

The HHRVResource Guide was developed in Drupal 7 CMS system.  Drupal 7 was to go EOL this year but has been extended until end of 2021,  So to keep the HHRVResource Guide going on, a re-creation is needed.

One issue is that because of the lost of Escapees members to Facebook, new information for HHRVResource Guide has not  happened for two years.

What I need is responses to two things.

1. Whether the HHRVResource Guide is still needed.

2. Do you use a smartphone as your only Internet interface.  This relevant to a re-create.  The transition to Drupal 9 (Drupal 8 will end at the end of 2021 also) is not easy.  Many of the contributed modules used in Drupal 7 were not created for Drupal 9.  A rewrite in HTML to work well with smartphone is difficult.

Simple responses to the two questions is requested,

1. I still use the HHRV resource guide on a regular basis.

2. My Android smart phone is my method of accessing the internet probably 95% of the time.

I still use it. Chromebook and android. Some people have gone to all phone or tablet use. 

[Jim & Wilma]

1. I use the HHRV resource guide.  For those of use with older trucks it can be of particular value.

2. I use my iPad most often to access the internet, followed by windows laptop. 

thanks Mark for your efforts . . .  Jim

Thanks Mark!

1. Yes still use and refer to newbies from Facebook! Lol

2. I use IPhone primarily 

[rollinbrian]

I've just started using it.

Even split between Chrome on a PC and an Android phone.

[rickeieio]

I use it more often than I care to admit.  I access it via laptop (90%) or iPad(10%), never by phone.

[SuiteSuccess]

Occasional smart phone but mainly iPad.

[DanZemke]

1. Yes
2. No

Some content is ill-suited for small screens.  In those cases, might the user choose to use a device with a larger screen, or download a PDF version of the content?  Or maybe design everything for small screens, augmented by PDF files (even the user has a big screen).

Thanks for all you've done for us.

Best wishes,

Dan

[Darryl&Rita]

1. Yes, and refer people to it.

2. Mostly laptop for the Resource Guide, and most of my web time.

[Parrformance]

Definitely use it as I know that FB is EVIL

Use the phone AND laptop. 

[Rick & Alana]

I still use it and recommend it to people on FaceBook. 

Usually access it on my iPad. 

Thanks for your work on it. 

[bockofma]

1. Please keep up all of your hard work.  I still use it.

2. Mostly laptop, but on occasion the Android cellphone. 

Thank you..

[HERO Maker]

Yes, I still use it when needed and refer others to it.  Used on Windows Laptop only.

Not having this around anymore would be a huge loss!  Much thanks to Mark for putting the time into making this a usable tool, and to Jon (5th Wheeler) for starting it so many years ago!

Just thoughts here, I wonder if it could be made like a Wikipage (or whatever that thing is) so that we all aren't relying on Mark to update it???   Maybe a new thread needs to be started on this!       Thanks again Mark.

1: YES, I still use the HHRG.

2: I access the HHRG PRIMARILY on a Mac OS laptop. I also use (in descending order) a Chromebook, iPad Pro, iPhone, Android phone and finally a Windows laptop. I regularly recommend the HHRG to people who would benefit from this valuable resource.

Thank you for your work on the HHRG. As far as I know, there's NOTHING else like it available in a single source form. I would be willing to "kick in" cash to help in deferring any costs (or, to just help keep you and other contributors in your favorite beverage). I will be at the National Rally next month.

Again, THANK YOU for all the "heavy lifting" you've done over the years!

Sincerely,

John Koenig

Ditto

And mostly from my computer, occasionally my Android tablet.

[Sparky242]

Yes I use it,  it is a great resource.   I use my windows lap top.  Thank You Mark 

[NeverEasy]

I use the HHRV a lot.

I use my desktop and laptop.  

I commend you for hosting the HHRV and hope it will continue.  If there are costs, the users should chip in some support $.

 

 

[Brad & Jacolyn]

I use it and always from my laptop.

I don't do Facebook or any other social media.

[sdixon747]

HHRV has some great info. I still use it occasionally either with an iPad or MBP. I always thought a phone makes a lousy computer.

With Drupal 7 going away, I hope that doesn’t mean that we will lose HDTRally.com There is a lot of great historical info about past HDT Rallies. I don’t know what is involved with converting it to WordPress. Then it could all be saved on the NationalHDTRally.com site.

[scubadave]

Still use with mainly an android tablet, sometimes with a windows lap top.

[2Auberts]

1. Yes I use it and refer others to it

2. Access is with iPad only

[Mark and Dale Bruss]

I found this utility that might solve my dilemma for the Resource Guide.  It unloads and active website into a static one.  Before I spend a lot of time cleaning it up, I thought I would put the static clone out there for evaluation.

Tell me what you think.

I just poked around on it for about 10 minutes using a windows laptop and firefox. 

Looks good!
