Site Update Sep 25, 2012

Post by Corfman Clan »

Hi,

I just pushed an update out to the site.

The updates include:
  • There's been a problem where getting a cacher's list of backcountry caches has been timing out and no list is returned. This seems to occur more with cacher's that have a lot of finds. We still don't understand what the problem is as the query returns very quickly when we run it by hand. At any rate, we increased the query time out value from 30 to 60 seconds.
  • Updated page titles for Account pages
  • Updated member profiles to include a TimeZone field. This field will default to Eastern time. User's can update their time zone on the Profile page.
  • Updated member profiles to include UpdateRecentFinds flag. Currently this flag is not used but it will be used to determine whether a user's recent finds will be automatically updated when the user accesses the web site. This flag will default to false. User's can update this flag on the Profile page.
  • Added a way for users to update their email to the Profile page.
  • Updated the "Statistics last updated" date/time message on the bottom of each page to use the user's time zone when available.
  • Updated GeocachePage to include the Available Date. The available date is the date the cache was published. If there is no published date, then the available date is the placed date.
  • Updated GeocachePage to include the time the cache was last updated, along with the time the cache was last fully synched. These will be displayed with the user's time zone when available.
  • Fixed a problem with backcountry board paging.
  • If a cache's coordinates or state are changed, we will now update the County and DGP Region a cache is in.
  • Fixed an issue where backcountry leader boards were not being computed correctly when more than one cache had the same point value.
  • Updated backcountry board computation to only use 10 caches instead of twenty for Counties and DGP regions.
  • Updated RegionPage to highlight a user's finds and hides in the loneliest cache list and the Recent Notable Finds list.
  • Updated the Recent Notable Finds page to highlight a user's finds and hides.
Please update your LonelyCache profile to take advantage of the time zone and in the future, the update recent finds flag.

I just pushed out another quick update.

I reworked the backcountry caches database query to be similar to the points leader query. The latter always seemed to return quickly, so my hope is that the backcountry caches query will now return quickly too. With the couple tests I've done, that seems to be the case :)

I also added a cacher's backcountry score and rank to the backcountry caches page.
