DXFUN Cluster | Improvements, upgrades, help desk…



SEARCH CRITERIA

Time to time search function must be improved due the new callsigns options and other minor database modifications so we must put an eye into this.
Spots database is growing, so search criteria must be accurate.
After some major improvements that you already know, we have focused to speed up search function and correct some minor errors.
One of the major improvements that we can announce is that the search criteria has been modified and when you try to search for:
LW1EB
You will be able to view on the search results, spots from the following callsigns:
LW1EB
LW1EB/XXX
Note that other callsigns like: LW1EBX, LW1EBY, LW1EBX/YYZ will not be on the search results.

ONLINE USER MAP

Last days we have been working very hard with maps…
New google maps version has been introduced as standard and old code is going to not be functional on the near future, so we have ported the maps to the new version.
As you maybe had seen, the online user map has been redesigned with the code and features.
Now you will be able to view different symbols for each zone depending on who many users are one the same dxcc or zone, depending of the zoom factor you used.
If you haven’t seen it, take a look and enjoy!

XML DATA FROM QRZ.COM

We can announce that right now we are able to fill some of the Qso details from the qrz.com database.
With this information you will be able to log any spot or any manual qso that you enter into your logbook.
This new feature is available right now, without any extra cost for you.
We hope that you will enjoy this new option!

USER PAGE IMPROVED

We had improved the section of the user page.
Some reorganization of the contents has been done and new features added.
For example we have added the option to view graphs and statistics of the user.
And a new improved location map with new features available.
So take a look on this link: http://dxfuncluster.com/qrz.php?u=DXFUN

GRAY LINE MAP

Finally done! … sorry well done !
A new option has been improved on the TOOLS menu.
You are able to view a real time weather and gray line map all in one.
We are using a very new code on this section and most important is that is beautiful!

SPOTS CODE

The last couple of weeks we have improved the spots code. When a new spot is coming to the system this must do a “small tour” before is published.
This “small tour” has been improved so much and right now it takes a few milliseconds to be on the spot list.
The code can be adjusted to be a “real time” system but server requirements for all of our visitors will be very high so we must adjust it depending on the server load.
Some new exciting features are coming very soon, so stay tunned!
