GrottoCenter Blog

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

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.

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.

Last night, Zouhair released a feature that allows you to specify the responsible organizations for a given country, region, or mountain range. For example, on the France page, I listed the FFSpéléo and Spéléo Secours Français. You can do the same for pages relevant to you or for which you have information. I encourage you to take this opportunity to update the information on the organization's page as well. Thanks, Zouhair, for this excellent work.

That's right—new features aren't taking a vacation (for now) on Grottocenter. - The number of massifs displayed on the homepage now accurately reflects the actual count. - At Bernard's suggestion, the map size on the cave entrances page now adjusts its height to match the content on the right side of the screen—it looks much better! - And you can now mark all notifications as read. Thanks to Paul and Clément for these handy new features.

A great discovery this morning: Paul and Clément have brought back the feature that lets you mark the caves you’ve visited. You can now view the caves you’ve visited—as well as those visited by other account holders—on a map within the "Activities" tab of your public page and your account. We are all cavers: it’s a wonderful way to showcase our adventures. The recent updates may have caused some errors, so please check your list of trips.
