Maurice ad2119efd6 docs(wiki): correct what reading each page whole turned up (#2036)
The last pass reviewed diffs, so it never saw a new paragraph contradicting an
older one on the same page, or a long-standing claim nobody had checked.
Plugin authors were told ctx.config carries their per-user secrets and that
definePlugin takes a permissions key — neither is true, and both fail silently.
FORCE_HTTPS was said to need TRUST_PROXY, which it does not.

Trip Planner Overview

The trip planner is the main workspace for building your itinerary. You open it by clicking a trip card on the dashboard.

Trip Planner

Layout

The planner uses a three-pane resizable layout on desktop:

┌─────────────────┬──────────────────────────┬──────────────────┐
│  Day Plan       │                          │  Places          │
│  Sidebar        │       Interactive        │  Sidebar         │
│  (left)         │          Map             │  (right)         │
│                 │        (center)          │                  │
└─────────────────┴──────────────────────────┴──────────────────┘
  • Left sidebar — Day plan: your list of days, assigned places, notes, and transport entries. Collapsible via the panel toggle button.
  • Center — Interactive map showing all place markers and day routes.
  • Right sidebar — Places list: search, category filters, and bulk actions. Collapsible.

Each sidebar has a drag handle on its inner edge for resizing.

Planner in its three-pane layout: the day plan sidebar with days, places, notes and flight entries on the left, the map in the centre, and the places sidebar with search and category filter on the right

A Day Detail panel floats over the map area when you open a specific day, showing the weather forecast, that day's reservations, and the accommodation block. It can be collapsed to a slim header bar without closing it.

Tabs

The tab bar sits directly below the main navigation bar.

Tab Description
Plan The three-pane map view described above. Always visible.
Transports Flights, trains, cars, cruises, and buses.
Bookings Hotels, restaurants, events, tours, and other bookings.
Lists Packing list and to-do list.
Costs Expense tracking, splitting, and settlement.
Files Document manager for receipts, tickets, and other files.
Collab Real-time chat, shared notes, and polls.

Admin: The Lists, Costs, Files, and Collab tabs only appear when the corresponding addon is enabled. See Admin-Addons.

The active tab is saved in sessionStorage per trip, so switching between trips preserves your last position.

Mobile Layout

On screens narrower than 768 px, TREK does not squeeze the three-pane layout — it opens a dedicated mobile trip screen instead: a day-chip rail under the top bar, a switch between the day plan and a full-screen map, and a bottom dock for the other tabs. Tablets and desktops (768 px and up) get the three-pane layout described above.

Undo

The planner tracks your recent actions — adding places, assigning them to days, reordering, and removing assignments — in a short undo ring. The Undo button sits in the Day Plan Sidebar toolbar (at the top of the sidebar); it is greyed out until an undoable action is available. It shows the name of the last action as a tooltip on hover and reverses it when clicked.

Splash Screen

When you first open a trip, a brief loading screen appears while the planner data and place photos are fetched. This screen shows the trip title and a loading animation. Once data is ready and a short grace period for photos has elapsed, the planner workspace appears.
