Diveboard feature updates : bugfixing !

por Ksso el 09 de diciembre de 2011

As we have had a lot of feedback recently, we also uncovered many edge cases on minor functions. While we try to bring the best experience to the end user, there are always cases that had not been anticipated or that had never been encountered during the testing. So this week release is mainly about making sure those annoying error messages don't appear (often) on your screens !And, last but not least, we also improved the performances of the search, so give it a try !

Diveboard feature updates : Bulk everything !

por Ksso el 05 de diciembre de 2011

We just pushed an update to production to support a few user requests.

Bulk assignment extended : you can now assign spots, buddies, gears and trip names to a selection of dives. Just select your dives and apply the corresponding action.

Support for a default gear set: in the bulk manager / My Gear you can now list your default gear and tag those you want added by default to every newly created dive.

Coming next : the DAN export tab. It's actually ready but pending DAN's check of the export file format... stay tuned!

Diveboard feature updates : direct link to pictures & performance

por Ksso el 09 de noviembre de 2011

Small update this morning addressing performance issues, a small bug in the gear management api and a new feature : You can now get direct link to your each and every of your pictures and share it wherever you want. The link will open your logbook on the right page and show the targeted picture in the lightbox - isn't that convenient ?Of course if you share the link on Facebook or G+ the tags are adjusted so it is this image that gets displayed as thumbnail and you get the species info and notes of the picture not the dive - which makes sense.

Diveboard feature updates: Bulk Editor

por Ksso el 07 de noviembre de 2011

This week bring a complete revamp of the bulk dive editor. This one has been pretty complicated, we wanted to let you easily apply values or bulk operations to existing dives... while lettign you easily sort through them and identify which is which. This sounds easy when you have 10 dives, but some of our users have over 200 dives !We finally came up with a UI that seems to be doing the job (although it still requires a bit of polishing imho)With easy show/hide details, sorting by many different columns focus on given fields... I hope you like what we've built ! This will also allow for more flexibility for upcoming updates while keeping core functions easily accessible.

Bing loves fish today

por Ksso el 21 de octubre de 2011

I don't usually use Bing, and bumped there by accident, still pretty fun to find a pretty usual fish for us, scuba divers, on the front page: a Blennie ! This particular one is a "Parablennius gattorugine" which can be seen in the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean.Fun fact about them, the female lay eggs in a safe place (usually a crack in the reef) during spring, and the male will keep them safe while hovering above the nest to ensure proper oxygenation of the water.

Diveboard feature updates : Pictures, Buddies & Dive Shops

por Ksso el 05 de octubre de 2011

We have a long list of feature requests, so we started a spree to squash them and get you divers happy ! And the results a fairly cool (at least in our opinion here at Diveboard).

Pictures view and edit is now infinitely better. On the viewer side, you get a nice global view of your set in your page letting you quickly select the pics you want to show up. On the wizard side you can drag-and-drop the pics to rearrange them in the way you like.We also fixed an annoying Picasa bug which prevented some of our diveboarders to add their Picasa pics using the "share" link provided by Picasa. ...

Diveboard feature updates : "Blazing Fast" dive edition, power to the users !

por Ksso el 06 de septiembre de 2011

This update has been on our mind for a very, very, very long time. We've been frustrated by the limitations of the dive editor wizard we had in place:

too little space to let us add more data kinds

too little flexibility to rearrange the data and make it both easier to read and manage while giving it more depth for advanced users

too slow to load (for some stupid reason it was loaded on demand instead of being pre-loaded within the page)

We broke it all to give you a totally rebuild and blazing fast dive editor with plenty of space to arrange the data in a readable way.To date the features are the same as with the previous editor, but with speed, and we're now busy at growing them.Aside...

Diveboard Feature updates : SDE & Spot Matching

por Ksso el 31 de agosto de 2011

A few days ago a user came to us with a pretty funny problem : he had a file a 200 dives he wanted to upload but wasn't happy with the ZXL and UDCF imports as they were since a lot of data was being lost in the translation. Additionally, we did not support the import of the spot name and location as there is no real standard way of saving those and thus it made it impossible to match them with out database data (or to update the database with new spots). So we added a few new feats : Support for SDE files: This is the preferred file format for your Suunto dive manager. If you've been using it to unload your Suunto computer you can now upload your dives in a super easy way and ensure that...

Diveboard Feature update: Login page, Linux support, Profiles, albums uploads

por Ksso el 01 de agosto de 2011

It's taken a bit more than we expected (due to a nasty IE9 bug... Oh Microsoft...) but we're finally there, new features have been released! Here's a round-up :

User Profiles. Everybody's got one now so head to your logbook and customize it so it looks great !

New Login Pages are finally there. You can create an account using login/password or still keep on using facebook connect. We now have the flexibility to add even more login mechanisms should you, dear users, request them.

A new version of the plugin that now supports Linux and an incredible automagic feature, as requested by Steve. If you're logged on to Diveboard, just plugin your cable and the website will detect it and run you...
