A: myMacro concepts - creating your details.

(1) Macro Central allows a member to enter in their details into a pre-set number of fields, with Name and Address, Telephone number Email address, amongst others.

(2) The basics are entered and some completed fields can be deduced:-
eg enter First Name and Surname as separate fields, and it will deduce the full name
eg enter "Joe" and "Bloggs", and it will deduce "Joe Bloggs".

(3) Enter House Num, Street, Suburb and Postcode with an extra description and it will create several shortcuts

eg "Rose Cottage" "u9/20" "Brookside Cres" "Seaford Rise" "5169" will build several macros of:-

"?g = u9/20 Brookside Cres Seaford Rise 5169"
"?f = Rose Cottage u9/20 Brookside Cres Seaford Rise 5169 SA"

B: myMacro concepts - storing your details.

(1) Macro Central will "store" your details on its database with a myMacro UserId which is allocated as a RANDOM digit generated 4 digit code, then calculates a CHECK-DIGIT in the range A-Z (omitting 0 & I). The Id will be in the form "a1b2x"where x is the check digit.

(2) Macro Central will also create a myMacro "cookie" on your PC with your myMacro UserId as its name.

C: myMacro concepts - accessing "your" details on a "myMacro enabled" website.

(1) Macro Central will create a myMacro.js and a myMacro Icon, which can be added to any website free of charge.

(2) Macro Central will also create documentation for any website developer to use myMacro correctly.

(3) If a user wants to utilise their stored macros, they will click the myMacro icon, and enter their Macro-id.

(4) If a web-site wants to take advantage of "pre-validated" data from the myMacro, they can either populate the required fields or allowsmacros eg ?a1 will allow the "macro address" in a field, and ?zz will allow the "email address" to be used. (5) the website will not be able to see the users "Macro-id" nor access the cookie.

D: myMacro concepts - an extra myMacro feature = hashCode.

(1) Macro Central also offers hashCode.js which can be added to any website free of charge.

(2) Macro Central will also create documentation for any website developer to use hashCode correctly.

(3) hashCode is a South Australian street name lookup eg "#17UppOnka" will retrieve the Google street/suburb standard. (note for those using a smart phone use "QQ" instead of "#")

-- "#17UppOnka" or "QQ17UppOnka" = 17 Upper Penneys Hill Road, Onkaparinga Hills SA ---

Try it - hashCode - enabling in any web-site

Google enhances it to
"17 Upper Penneys Hill Rd, Onkaparinga Hills SA 5163, Australia(-35.146131) (138.539978)"

--------------- myMacro overview ---------------

You can enter your personal details into myMacro Central.
and you will be allocated a check-digited myMacro ID code.

If a web site is "myMacro" enabled, enter your myMacro
UserID and all your details are available to the website
to populate those fields the website needs.

If the website is freeform Text, then you can use the standard
?n which will be replaced with your full name,
or
?f which will be replaced with your full address.
