UKC

Over the last few days the UKC development team has been putting the finishing touches to a few new features. Here's a bit of a run down as to the changes made.

Thanks for the work put in on this.

I moderate a local sea cliff. Is it possible to get the tide table retro fitted to it?

In reply to Mike-W-99:

Which crag is that?

In reply to Paul Phillips - UKC and UKH:

Hawkcraig

This one, we normally check rosyth or burntisland for the tides.

In reply to UKC News:

brilliant, thanks for the effort all

In reply to UKC News:

Tides look OK for my patch, although the '12am' time on the axis would be better set as 'noon' or 'midnight' (whichever it is) to remove ambiguity.

In reply to UKC News:

Great useful features

In reply to UKC News:

Just brilliant!

In reply to UKC News:

Simple and neat. Fab

In reply to UKC News: That's much, much better, far more useful than ever before.

One error I noticed was that this crag (Dolomites) https://www.ukclimbing.com/articles/page.php?id=4680

is tagged on the map as being in Somalia...not that anyone would get confused...

In reply to UKC News:

Very nice feature, note that Lake Annecy and Vallorcine aren't in the right place on the map.

In reply to Paul Phillips - UKC and UKH:
Thanks Paul, is it all manual to do this only the nearby inland crag of Limekilns seems to have acquired one now as well.

In reply to UKC News:

Really useful stuff - great effort!

In reply to Frank the Husky:
On a similar note, Wadi Rum is tagged in the French Alps...

In reply to UKC News:

Great stuff!! Paul, as ever, I salute you and your massive intelligence!

In reply to UKC News:

Excellent features. Any chance of adding a tide table to The Burren?

In reply to UKC News:


The lists of ascents count entries in logbooks so if both people in a pair log it then it gets flagged as "two ascents".

In reply to Mike-W-99:

Hi Mike, the weather and tide data is grouped into areas with a radius of 20 miles. If any crag in a weather area is set to Tidal (altitude=0) then the tidal data gets fetched for those coordinates next time the weather is updated, which is roughly every 4 hours. When you view a crag with an altitude under 25m and there's tidal data then the Tide tab gets shown.

So basically, you just need to set the altitude of one of the local crags to zero, wait a bit for system to update the local weather and then it should show on that and any local crag page.

Cheers, Paul.

Added Ailladie (Burren, Co. Clare)

In reply to Frank the Husky:

Sorted

In reply to John H Bull:

Sorted that one too.

In reply to Duncan Campbell:

Cheers Dunc It wasn't just me.

In reply to Paul Phillips - UKC and UKH:

Really good stuff. You might need mixed colour markers for where the venues are equally focussed on two (or more) aspects (like say the Earl Crag article or Slipstones as a 'crag)

In reply to UKC News:

How about including the guidebook topos and paying something back to the climbing community in your next update? Just a thought

In reply to Kristof252:


I think most of the destination articles mention the relevant guidebooks. Do you mean sell these books from the destination articles? Or do you mean actually including topos from local guidebooks?

The location of the pins seems to be way out in my neck of the woods. Almscliff is appearing in the middle of York!

That issue aside, awesome work! This is a brilliant feature.

In reply to thomaspomfrett:


Thanks for pointing that out. That article had been tagged as just a general North Yorkshire article. I've changed it now to be tagged as an Almscliff article. There are probably a few others with this issue that will be sorted out over time.

It was tiring work for our editors sifting through 300+ articles and tagging them appropriately.

In reply to UKC News:

I may well be getting confused, but was there an Alpine Conditions (listing recently logged alpine climbs) page within the Logbooks section of the site last year?
