1 How to install the plugin
- Install SportsTracks normally.
- Download the plugin and save it on your hard drive. The file should save automatically as a '.st3plugin' file, but some browsers get confused and try to save it as a '.zip'. If that happens, rename the file to '.st3plugin'. The plugin is available at http://fellrnr.com/Utilities/FellrnrDailyMilePlugin/FellrnrDailyMilePlugin_3.2.0.st3plugin
- The latest beta is normally available at http://fellrnr.com/Utilities/FellrnrDailyMilePlugin/FellrnrDailyMilePlugin_beta.st3plugin
- Double click the .st3plugin file to install.
- Check the plugin is installed correctly
- Start SportTracks
- Click on settings
- Click on plugins
- Check that 'Fellrnr's Dailymile Plugin' is shown
2 Viewing the Workout Analytics
- Click on 'select view', then 'daily activity'
- Click on an activity to select it
- Click on the drop down menu on the top right of the activity window and select 'Fellrnr Analytics'
- You will then see the analytics of that workout
3 Viewing Analytics Graphs
- Click on 'select view', then 'Fellrnr Analytics'
- Click on the 'Fellrnr Analytics' button to display the graph of workout information. You can click on the various check boxes to display different information. The graph shows the workouts selected in the top window.
4 Exporting Workouts to Dailymile.com (Easy Mode)
- You must have a Dailymile.com account setup
- Start SportTracks if it's not already running
- Click on 'select view', then 'daily activity'
- Click on an activity to select it for export
- Multiple activities can be selected, but this may take a long time and Dailymile.com limits the rate of uploads, so you may experience errors
- Click on 'export' then 'Publish to Dailymile.com (easy)', then choose how you felt.
- The first time you use the plugin, a popup will ask you to log into Dailymile.com and authorize the plugin. Logging on with your Facebook account causes problems - please log on directly.
- This popup uses the browser settings for the HTTP proxy rather than the SportTracks settings. (Don't worry if that doesn't mean anything to you. You shouldn't have to worry about it.)
- The authorization token is stored in the logbook, so different SportTracks users can have different Dailymile.com accounts.
- You can clear the authorization information by looking under the plugin specific settings.
- A browser window should popup with your workout in Dailymile.com
5 Exporting Workouts to Dailymile.com (Advanced Mode)

- Start SportTracks if it's not already running

- The first time you use the plugin, a popup will ask you to log into Dailymile.com and authorize the plugin. Logging on with your Facebook account causes problems - please log on directly.
- This popup uses the browser settings for the HTTP proxy rather than the SportTracks settings. (Don't worry if that doesn't mean anything to you. You shouldn't have to worry about it.)
- The authorization token is stored in the logbook, so different SportTracks users can have different Dailymile.com accounts.
- You can clear the authorization information by looking under the plugin specific settings.
- You will see a popup allowing you to customize the data exported to Dailymile.com. Note that you can get help by hovering your mouse over a field, as shown below.
- The plugin attempts to guess what the correct activity type is from the activity category in SportTracks as described below. (If you think it should make better guesses, let me know.) You can change the activity type. If you hit okay, your workout will be posted and a browser window will popup with your workout in Dailymile.com. Note that the text of your workout is in the windows clipboard, so you can paste it into another site such as Google+
6 Select Laps Dialog
This dialog allows you to select specific laps for publication. This is useful if you are doing interval training and only want to publish the work intervals.
- To select laps, click on a lap. Holding the control key will add to the selection, holding the shift key will select ranges.
- Pressing "Select Odd" will select the odd numbered intervals. The selection can then be modified by clicking on laps with the control key pressed.
- Pressing "Select Even" will select the even numbered intervals. The selection can then be modified by clicking on laps with the control key pressed.
- Pressing "Guess Intervals" will look at the start and end Heart Rate to determine the work intervals. The 'interval threshold' is used to determine the work intervals. A lap will be selected if the finish Heart Rate is greater than the start Heart Rate by at least the threshold value. select the even numbered intervals. The selection can then be modified by clicking on laps with the control key pressed.
7 How SportTracks Activity Categories are mapped to Dailymile Activity Types
This plugin looks at the text of the SportTracks Activity Category and guesses the appropriate Dailymile Activity Type
- If category contains "running" then Activity type is running
- If category contains "cycling", "biking", or "bike" then Activity type is cycling
- If category contains "swim" then Activity type is swimming
- If category contains "walk" then Activity type is walking
- Otherwise default Activity type to fitness
There is support for other languages; click on 'show category translations' at the bottom of the settings page.
8 Missing Features
Some features are missing because they are not yet supported in the Dailymile.com API. These include
- Max and average HR
- Weather icon
- Effort
- Gear
- Keywords
When these are added to the API, I will add support in the plugin.
9 Changing Dailymile.com or RunKeeper.com Accounts
If you change your account on Dailymile.com, or RunKeeper.com you'll need to clear the token that this plugin stores.
- You may need to clear your Internet Explorer cookies, as this plugin uses the browser for authentication. Clearing the cookies is documented at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278835
- Start SportTracks
- Click on settings
- Select "Fellrnr Settings" and click on "Clear OAuth Token" for the site you want to change.
- You'll be prompted to log on next time you publish.
10 Facebook Authentication to Dailymile
There are a few problems with accessing Dailymile.com using Facebook credentials, and it is better to log in with an email address and password.
