My Hikr

Hi everybody!

We would like to present you an experimental new feature: My Hikr!

Now you can see on the front page new publications only in your preferred regions, communities and from your favorite users.

Do you remember, some time ago we did a customized e-mail notifications, so you can choose notifications for which regions, communities and people you receive e-mails and how often. Now we followed this idea a little bit further.

As you can see there is a button "My Hikr" on the first page. If you click this button you will see a  list of recent reports only from those people, regions and communities that you have in your "My Hikr" (previously known as "E-mail Abo"). You can see and modify the list of those here. You can also add new stuff to your My Hikr from the page of the region, comm or user. Just click the "Add to My Hikr" button there (it's on the right side of the page)

As usual My Hikr reports can be browsed by publication date, tour date or last comment date. Only recent reports are included (published less than 1 month ago). And total number is limited to 100. And for some obscure technical reason geotags are not included.

You can set My Hikr or standard list of new publications as you default view by using the "Set as default view" link just under the My Hikr button on the main page.

There is one difference from E-mail notifications. We only send e-mails if a user in your list is the author of the report, but in My Hikr we show all reports where this user is listed as partner. Should we change that?

Voilà. Questions, suggestions and bug reports welcome!

Your tired dogfriend Zina.

PS: Could someone translate this in German pleeeeease?

Hallo zusammen,

wir möchten euch ein neues experimentelles Feature vorstellen: My Hikr!

Nun kann man auf der Hauptseite nur die Publikationen seiner bevorzugten Regionen, Communities und Benutzer anzeigen lassen.

Zur Erinnerung, vor einiger Zeit haben wir benutzerdefinierte E-Mail-Benachrichtigungen eingeführt, so dass man auswählen kann, für welche Regionen, Communities und Benutzer man Benachrichtigungen per Mail erhalt, und wie oft. Nun haben wir diese Idee etwas weiter verfolgt.

Wie man sieht, gibt es auf der Hauptseite einen neuen Button "My Hikr". Wenn man diesen Button anklickt, sieht man eine Liste aktueller Berichte von den Benutzern bzw. aus den Regionen und Communities, die man unter "Präferenzen / News und My Hikr" (hier) eingestellt hat (früher: "E-Mail-Abo"). Man kann auch neue Elemente in "My Hikr" hinzufügen, indem man auf der Seite einer einzelnen Region, eines Benutzers oder einer Community den Button "Zu My Hikr hinzufügen" anklickt.

Wie üblich kann man die Berichte unter "My Hikr" nach Publikationsdatum, Tourdatum oder Datum des letzten Kommentars sortieren. Nur aktuelle Berichte werden berücksichtigt (d.h. vor höchstens einem Monat publiziert). Und aus einem obskuren technischen Grund sind die Geotags nicht dabei.

Man kann "My Hikr" oder die gewöhnliche Liste der neuen Berichte als Standardansicht auswählen, indem man den Link "Standardansicht" genau unter dem "My Hikr"-Button auf der Hauptseite anklickt.

Es gibt noch einen Unterschied zu den E-Mail-Benachrichtigungen. Wir schicken E-Mails nur dann, wenn ein Benutzer in der Liste der Autor des Berichtes ist, dagegen zeigen wir in My Hikr alle Berichte, in denen dieser Benutzer als Tourengänger dabei ist. Sollen wir das ändern?

Das war's. Fragen, Anmerkungen und Fehlermeldungen willkommen.

Anmerkung von Felix: Tolle Sache, hilft, die Übersicht zu behalten!

This new feature is a very helpful! Thanks a bunch!

No, I like this behavior very much. Since currently there is no way for me to tell who the partners are for a specific report without actually opening it, this "My Hikr" behavior makes it much easier to find hikes of "my friends", where they are partners but not authors.

I personally would actually prefer, if the email behavior was be the same and I'd receive an email too, if a "friend" is listed as partner only. But I guess with this new feature, I don't even need that any more.

Thanks again,
360
