Edit function now live at audax.uk
Here’s what I posted on Audax UK organisers FB page.
Permanent Event MapI’m pleased to announce that during lockdown the permanents event map has moved to a new home, now hosted on the new Audax UK website. It can be found at
https://perms.audax.uk.
If you know the eventId then you can pull up an event directly with
https://perms.audax.uk?eventId=<eventId>. This the same format you see for the web address (url) of a permanent event detail page.
Editing the map dataI have also been working on a simpler way to edit the permanent event data. Either updating / correcting the existing data for an existing perm, or creating the map / controls data for a new perm. The original process worked well for crowd sourcing across all perms in phase 1 but now it needs an easier slicker process as it settles into its maintenance phase.
You can find the permanent map edit function at
https://perms-edit.audax.uk . To edit a current perm map details you paste the url of permanent event detail page and it’ll pull up what details we hold for the perm. To achieve the same you can also put the event id in the url , for example
https://perms-edit.audax.uk?eventId=26 . The controls can moved by dragging them on the map, new ones added by clicking the map, delete controls or update other details via the form on the left.
At the moment it’s not integrated with the new Audax UK database. But we are pondering how to move forward so it can be integrated with a future admin backend. I’m keen on a backend API approach. For now when happy with your edits you click the email button and it’ll generate an email which will open in your email client. The email will have all the detail needed to update the map. You’ll just need to click send it to me, where I’ll take the update detail and update the perm map data. Then push the update up for our web content man to apply.
The data this creates is also exactly the data needed for validation by GPS. If the controls are placed precisely. So I’m pondering it also being able to generate the required GPX track in a future update.
Cheers
