Title: New Features for 2012
Post by: Shaky on 11-Jan-12, 09:46:36 AM
I think we're running out of features to add to the website. This is what we have so far.

  • Falcon history section

  • Improve Main Camera reliability


Suggestions?

See what we accomplished in 2011.

I made a slight change to the slide show on the home page. You may not even notice.

Typo. Should have been $6,500. I updated it.

Congrats on post #2000!

Slides going sideways.  And, of course, my brain isn't remembering how it was before (fade?) but sliding left is new...

Yes, the fade wasn't very memorable. I wanted something my dynamic.

Several times yesterday when I logged on, it would say the rfalconcam Forum was now available on Tapatalk for my iPad.  Bought it today but haven't had a chance to look at it yet.

I got the same thing Shaky! When I check the forum on my phone, before I clicked out a message came up about using Tapatalk. Thought it was strange!

OK-is it my eyes-or my computer?  Has the background on the left...donate/shop buttons etc...always been pinkish?

It's a light gray with a slight reddish tint but nowhere near as pink as what is being displayed on your computer. Do you have a color management profile enabled?

Mine is light greyish! I see no red or pink!

I haven't changed anything and just noticed it Monday.  It's only the work computer. Home is fine.  I got a new hard drive a few weeks ago and IT guy might have tweaked something when he created it.  I probably just didn't notice the colors were off until I had the home page up for a while.  Thanks.

Ei has just updated the falcon family trees. You can view them on the Family Tree page.

http://rfalconcam.com/rfc-main/familyTree.php (http://rfalconcam.com/rfc-main/familyTree.php)

As an added bonus, there is now a mobile app for the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and Android that lets you interactively explore the large and intertwined family tree of the Rochester falcons. Want to know the names of Archer's siblings? Want to know Unity's band number? Want to know the name of a falcon associated with a particular band?  This app can give you the answers to these questions and more -- a "must" for any falcon watcher. Best of all, it's free!

Download to iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/myheritage/id477971748?ls=1&mt=8 (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/myheritage/id477971748?ls=1&mt=8)

Download to Android:
https://market.android.com/details?id=air.com.myheritage.mobile (https://market.android.com/details?id=air.com.myheritage.mobile)

Once it is downloaded and installed, run it and log in using a special guest ID set up by Ei.

email = RFCfamilytree@gmail.com
password = guest (case sensitive) 

Enjoy!

Thanks Ei for updating the family tree.  It looks awesome.

The Ap is something that Jeanne asked me about awhile back and I brought it up at our Rfalconcam meeting.  Shaky jumped on it and walaaaa!  

Thanks Shaky & Ei for figuring out how to do this ap.  It will be a very nice tool for those Watchers that have phones that can do aps.  A way to quickly check band colors and numbers to ID any falcons we need to ID.  Won't be me for awhile.  Maybe someday.   :happy:

I haven't seen how it looks in the app either-it will be quite a while before I get a smart phone.  I did look around & there are some programs you can use to run android on a PC, but I haven't gotten there yet.

I'm guessing you can browse all the photos that are in there.  That's one reason I was looking for more photos of all the birds.  In the static chart I had to pick one that made a decent thumbnail, but I'd love to have a few for each.

Yes, photos, stats, who married who, who has kids with whom...dates. Very well done! How the heck do you make an app?  :clap:

The only problem I see is you can't edit. Hmm. They will hopefully fix that.

The app was developed by the site itself.  I wish I could take credit!

I don't know if they're planning to add editing through the app.  It's currently set up so that only my master account can do edits.  It is a bit challenging getting the relationships set up right-partners instead of "marriage"-linking to multiple family lines-laughing when entering offspring & it asks-"The mother is only 3 years old...are you sure?"  Easier for right now to funnel info through me.

Leave a review on the Android Market. Maybe they will respond.
