Multiple copies are better than the original

As of yesterday, Clément and Paul have introduced a system on Grottocenter where only copies of images are displayed. Whether you are viewing an entry or a document page, or scrolling through a gallery on mobile or desktop, you will see only copies sized specifically for display. This reduces data traffic across networks and speeds up loading times significantly, while still allowing you to download the original via a dedicated button.

Grottocenter for everyone

Paul has released his work on the feature for creating and editing entries. Everything is better organized thanks to the visual icon guide. Mandatory fields are displayed more clearly. And the feature for creating a network or removing an entry from a network is more easily accessible. Paul is making Grottocenter accessible to everyone!

Who are you?

We want to better define Grottocenter users. To do this, we are outlining typical user profiles. Visitor? Explorer? Tell us who you are and whether you identify with these descriptions. https://github.com/GrottoCenter/grottocenter-api/wiki/Personas

Video on managing your Grottocenter account

Before heading off on vacation, Chloé sent us a video providing an overview of the account management features on Grottocenter. You probably aren't aware of everything that's possible—come and find out! https://youtu.be/ukqers2mzgA

Great-looking networks

Paul has just released an improvement to the feature that allows you to designate an organization as responsible for a geographic entity. He has also updated document management to prompt for confirmation when creating a document without an attached file, and to fix a bug —identified by Benjamin— that was complicating the import of certain file types. However, the most impressive update concerns network visualization on the map. It is now possible to visualize —via links— all the entries that make up a network.

Avoid seeing double.

Zouhair has just released a feature that prevents the creation of duplicate entries. When you enter the name of a new Grottocenter entry, the system displays the names of caves located near the one you are typing. When you position your cursor, caves near your chosen location appear.
