Closed m1bxf closed 13 years ago

m1bxf commented 13 years ago

It would be ubber cool to be able to tweet the map created to show the QSOs for the day :)

What would be best a static image or say access to a KML similar to RSGBCC?

m1bxf commented 13 years ago

Problem with a KML is if you don't store it with the snapshot of the station list you tweeted it could update if more QSOs are added and by the time someone looks at it it could show a different map of stations. So you need to store it really, and what is the point of storing a KML over a JPEG?

The RSGB CC KML is slightly different as it only needs to show stations within a submitted log which by definition shouldn't change (additional QSOs) after submission.

After reading my last message 'what is the point of storing a KML over a JPEG?' I really should think before I write. A KML allows someone viewing the posted snapshot to click on the station for further options, a JPEG has no such feature :) A KML is better therefore...

Creation and availability of a KML file might be more feasible once Andys finished writing the Auth system.. the system won't rely on htaccess to stop external visitors.

Its now possible to show maps and qsos for a set date. see https://github.com/magicbug/HRD-Web-Frontend/wiki/Social-Media
