Improvements to L R sorting.
|
So I don't know exactly how you would want to do this but you all need to figure out a way to let people other than just the original poster of a route sort them. Lost of areas are unsorted and could be quite easily but the OP is not active on the site or doesn't care to do it... maybe a consensus thing where once 2 or 3 people sort it the same way it shows it or something. IDK... |
|
Your admin should be able to do it if you send a list ( that is if they aren't spending all their time posting off topic pictures and comments), or even put you in charge of the OP (maybe temporarily) |
|
Not every area has an admin assigned... |

I can help if there is no Admin assigned. PM me with the details. |

On the topic of improving the L-R sorting, I've found that a lot of bouldering areas aren't sorted because there is no good way to account for a bunch of boulders, each with problems all around them. I think a good solution to this would be to create headings within an area that would contain a boulder or an individual problem to identify that it is separated from other problems in the area, but still a part of that area. This would differ from the current system in that these headings would not be linked to anything or have their own page. I could see this working well for areas that contain a lot of problems within a definable area, yet it would be messy to create a new area page for each boulder with 1-2 problems. |

Actually, you could leave the database fundamentally like it is, organize problems by boulder (boulder=area, problem=route, some "areas" would have just one "route", e.g. TCC boulder), but add a level to the navigation frame on the left. Make it always show the current level and any children. (Might be too much on a phone app?) |

Chris: playing with the App also convinced me that having each boulder be a separate area would be quite burdensome. There's a lot of tapping as it is. I think the advantage of having "headings" would be that you could see all the problems in an area at once, but there would be some semblance of organization. |

I don't think "have an admin do it" is a very realistic answer. |
