Now with the ability to upload eruption events! There are two primary ways to submit events— on the main view and in the Stopwatch view. In both cases, the app will remember the last few geysers for which you have submitted events, giving you a list to pick from. The duration will be calculated automatically from the stopwatch stop time. I’ve also added a mode which allows recording video or still photographs from the app. There’s an overlay which shows the stopwatch, so you can capture the start time directly from the screen. (A future enhancement of recording a time stamp will require some research into how to do this.) You can also edit and update events you submit, so those of you who have to submit an eruption FIRST! can go back in and add comments or the duration once its over. If all goes well, I intend to submit this to the App store for distribution. Or at least the the latest build with bug fixes. Note that it won’t be free, but contact me and I will send you a “promo code” to cover the cost of a down load. Why charge? Why not? It will help filter out people who aren’t really interested in geyser info, but just want to download “stuff”. Also, some of the features I am thinking of adding (like weather forecasts) charge for their services.  This app is intended more for gazers and those who know about geysers and want specifics. For more casual visitors, I’ve got some ideas on what that sort of app should have (things like maps and “augmented reality”, for example.) * * * * * * Here are some instructions if you want to try this out. — To test adding events— Go to the Settings app, and select the “GeyserLog” row, in the last section. There you will find three switches. Set “Use sandbox server” and “Enable event submission” both to On. (If you don’t see these switches after installing the app, quit Settings and try again. This appears to be a problem with Setting not updating properly after an install.) The background of the clock bar at the top will be purple as a reminder that it’s not the live database being used. First you will need to login. Go to the “Account Info” under the “Settings” view and enter your GeyserTimes username and password. (You can ignore the other fields). One server related bug is that it seems you need to do “Login” twice before actually getting logged in. The “Login” button changes to “Log Out” when successful. You will now be able to add events to the test sandbox. Data in the sandbox server is not updated from the main site. Events added there will not appear on the main site, but you can confirm your test submission by going to "sandbox.geysertimes.org". Practice here and look for any problems. Please let me know immediately if you find any so I can fix them. -HK <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:hkoenig@sputs.com">hkoenig@sputs.com</a> <div class="moz-signature">-- <div>Sent from <a href="https://www.postbox-inc.com/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=siglink&utm_campaign=reach">Postbox</a></div></div> </body> </html>
