GrottoCenter Blog

Yohan and Clément are doing a 2-month internship to develop features on Grottocenter. Their first activity consisted of transforming the names of authors and contributors into a link to the page corresponding to these people.   This makes it possible to create a link between the objects described in Grottocenter.  

 It is now possible to create and edit the descriptions and the history associated with the caves. You can also associate documents with entries. You can of course add all the documents of which you are the author and associate them with the caves.  

 From now, on Grottocenter, it is possible to associate to a cave documents that are already present in the BBS. I invite you to try it's quite fun  If you wish to associate your own documents with a cave (article, photo, topography, topo points, video,...) you must start by importing your work into the BBS and once a moderator has validated it, 'associate with the cave. For the tool to work perfectly it is necessary that we have more complete abstracts for the documents present in the BBS but also files corresponding to all these documents. Feel free to contribute to the BBS!

 Laurent Blum has set up an application to manage caves After some exchanges with the Wikicaves association, he set up a solution to visualize the data from Grottocenter. We wanted the data to remain freely accessible, for this he created a generic user that you can use  URL: https://vmapspeleo.fr/vmap/ Identifier: grottocenter Password: grottocenter

Now you can create a massif on Grottocenter and draw polygons to represent it on the map. This massif can correspond to an area in which you work, to a classified site or to any area that interests you. Automatically all the caves located in the polygon you have drawn on the map will be associated with your massif

 A network is a cave with several entrances. To view the networks, the easiest way is to ask to view them on the map and select the network that interests you. If you are connected you can modify the network information (name, length, depth).

A big thank to these people and all those who participate and contribute to the Grottocenter project!   https://wiki.grottocenter.org/wiki/GrottoCenter:En/GrottoTeam If you want to make your bit of job, feel free to contact us
