Major evolution of the BBS on Grottocenter

All analyzes carried out for issues 27 to 55 of the BBS were integrated into the BBS on Grottocenter, whenever possible the articles were associated with their journal and their collection.

Vincent has just published a very large work which constitutes version 24.0 of Grottocenter. It was made possible thanks to funding provided by the SSS

A first part consists of updating all the libraries used

The creation of documents has been moved to the entity creation menu and this is done in a single window without going through different steps

The management of details has been improved, for example the link of a document to a massif is done from the massif page

The information in the documents page has been reorganized to have a more condensed, more readable whole. The associated license is displayed and it is directly possible to view the image, PDF, sound or video files.

An important element concerns the relationship to geographical entities. Previously we associated BBS documents with BBS regions which could be countries or regions, which sometimes no longer existed.

Now you will be able to associate documents with a country or a defined region by its ISO code. All information on the BBS regions has been transformed into the corresponding ISO code.

Some small bugs which had been reported have been taken into account.

Thank you very much Vincent for this very nice work

Hola, me llamo Emilio y llevo toda la vida en esto de las cuevas.

Primero empecé en la zona centro (Cuenca, Guadalajara, Rio Lobos, etc), con el grupo Standard de Madrid y, después de un traslado por motivos laborales a León, en la zona Cantábrica, fundamentalmente, con el G.E. Matallana de León y algún grupo de Montaña, aunque implicándome muy poco en el funcionamiento de estos grupos y federaciones. Mi interés por el mundo subterráneo ha pasado del correteo por cualquier cueva que cayera a mi alcance hasta el estudio de geomorfología de las mismas, hidrogeología, acuíferos, etc Es más, estoy convencido de que los espeleólogos como colectivo podemos generar un gran caudal de información para el estudio de este mundo subterráneo, pero, en el momento actual, este conocimiento se está aprovechando de un modo muy escaso: Publicaciones escasas, memorias de campaña enviadas a las Federaciones Territoriales y a las entidades de protección de la naturaleza del Estado que parecen caer en pozos sin fondo donde no se sabe nada más de ellas, con

Grottocenter Mobile V2 coming soon

Loris and Dino, 5th year students at Polytech Montpellier, decided to work on a new version of the Grottocenter Mobile application for their project. At the end of February you will be able to use it in French or English, take photos and view the documents associated with the entries, and make sketches. We also hope that they will be able to offer a version for IOS.

Easily download all data from Grottocenter

Vincent has just set up a service that makes it easy to download all Grottocenter data. This takes the form of a compressed file which contains a json file per type of data (inputs, cavities, organizations, massifs, documents). The update is carried out once a month. This service is accessible to members of the Wikicaves association and partner organizations. If you are interested in this service, do not hesitate to contact us .
