GeoKrety.org - new free "Travel Bug"-System

filips · 18 Okt. 2007

The images (especially the cache status info icons) should get a HTML title and an alt Text.

Ok (now there is an alt text).

What's about picture uploading with a new log?

I don't plan it, but maybe in the future?

will you insert this logtype before the version is getting gold-status?

Yes. But: should there be a possibility to enter waypoint/coordinates or it is assumed that the GeoKret had been seen on the place of recent log?

maybe it would be better to insert also a "grab it"-logtype? because if a Krety (btw. Kret or Krety? what's the correct spelling for one mole?) is taken from a geocacher and it takes some days until he/she will drop it (Log new location), it will not be logged in in the cache during this period. (and maybe some geocachers are disappointed)

I imagined, that if you grabbed the GeoKret from a cache you can log a stop, if you don't plan to put it again in the next few days...

"grabbed it"
"dropped it" (Log new location)
"sighted it"
"make a note" (Comment)
"Log a stop" (Log a stop in a trip)

I like it

Should be ok.

FEATURE REQUEST:
it should be possible for a registered user to delete(edit as well?) his/her entries (minimizing spelling or dating errors)

Yes. There is a serious problem with editing entries, but there will be "delete" option soon:
- all users will be able to delete their own logs
- the owner of the GeoKret will be also able to delete this GeoKret's logs

btw: YOU DID GREAT JOB, so far!

Thanks. To be honest I planned to write a very simple and small system and to do it during one day ...

PS: maybe it should be possible to log a "note" without the Krety-ID

But how to identify the GeoKret to wchich assign this note?

Zum Vergrößern anklicken....

Yes. But: should there be a possibility to enter waypoint/coordinates or it is assumed that the GeoKret had been seen on the place of recent log?

possibility to enter waypoint/coords would be a nice-to-have feature (e.g. a kret is lost an appears in a totally other cache again) but it's not nessecary to fill up the logtype with sense

recent place should be the common-case

1st: there is a search-function... 2nd: maybe a the Kret is on someone "observe list" (btw. maybe it better should be called watchlist or "keep track of"-list, but thats just my personal opinion

)

It is a move direction (from a bottom of the page to the top). It is an arrow (in UTF8) - you should see an arrow there.

News:
- lot of small improvements,
- you can indicate a type of GeoKret during registration (a normal geokret, a book, a human). Now it doesn't make a difference, but maybe in the future it will be important.
- on Operations page (http://geokrety.org/ruchy.php) I've added some ajax fireworks (validating GK ID and OC waypoint). Feel free to test.

nice

but if you enter the ID the first time after creating it won't be found (but you're able to log it ether)

The operations which are possible for a Krety (like this one here)
should be displayed on the same page and not in a sub-menu.
BTW, the displayed route of my example is out of screen.
very good work, Mic@

Lion &amp; Aquaria · 21 Okt. 2007

the problem only to have 24 possible logs per Kret per days is still existing.

scenario: a Cacher takes a Krety to an event and more than 24 people log "I've met it" what does the rest do? (even the occupant can't grab it at least?! :shock: )

PS: no setting you under pressure, but just a problem I wanna advice you of

filips · 22 Okt. 2007

Thanks for all comments and testing. I note down all Your ideas and function-requests, so just be patient

filips · 25 Okt. 2007

As the time of launching GeoKrety.org is close, I encourage you to perform a final tests and catch all remaining bugs.

Since my last post I've introduced a few changes:
- added "minute" field as requested
- chcanged moves icons into more obvious ones
- added geokret types icons (normal, book, human)
- introduced Reference Number
- new name for code you enter to register a move of a GeoKret (read more about both: http://geokrety.org/help.php#GKandCode)
- lot of small bug fixes and changes

TODO in a future:
- build help/FAQ - description how to create a GeoKret, some examples, photos etc.
- translations
- fixing problems with mail delivery (I know that mails we send is frequently regarded as a spam)

I look forward to your posts and comments,
filips

great new features and cool new icons!

Bug(?)
http://geokrety.org/konkret.php?id=35
in my Firefox the € in the 12:01 log is not shown right. But couldn't reproduce the error.

Feature Request: after deleting a log it would be cool to have an "Jump to last page button (or maybe a autoredirect?). At the moment you have to use the browser-back-button and refresh the page.

Great job!

Have fun (and report all bugs, as usual, please

is there a list of all used phrases (in english would be best), so somebody can make a german translation?

Or use this, and we check the results

lion

The list will be prepared as soon as possible, so be patient

filips · 30 Okt. 2007

As translation file will be ready soon I encourage you to translate a help file ( http://geokrety.org/help.php ). I've decided that the best metod for doing that (I mean this particular file) is to create a wiki page that anyone can contribute to. If you don't have your wiki, feel free to use our one:
http://www.opencaching.pl/wiki/

filips · 30 Okt. 2007

The translation file is ready to download:
http://geokrety.org/download.php
it is a standard gettext format file, if you are not familiar with it, just enter in google "gettext", but it is quite simple and self explaining.

good luck!

OK, I finished the translation into german language. I hope it works.
OK, ich habe die deutsche Übersetzung fertig. Hoffe es klappt.

If anyone finds something that needs correction, please let me know.
Falls einer einen Fehler in der Übersetzung findet, PN an mich.

Hier mein Geokret. Der erste deutsche?

THANKS!
GeoKrety.org is now available in polish, english, german, portugese and russian! That's a great start, I think

A Logo is needed. Is anyone able to draw a mole?
Es wird noch ein Logo benötigt. Ist jemand in der Lage einen Mailwurf zu malen?

Lion &amp; Aquaria · 4 Nov. 2007

Is there still the problem, that verification-emails do not arrive?
