New Updates Released Tonight

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

I have some fantastic updates released tonight. You can now have multiple pindrops from the same location (lat and lon). I did this by implementing a new tab window that looks like this.

tab1

Notice the new tabs on top? The second tab now shows all the pindrops that are on the viewable map. So this takes care of multiple pindrops on top of each other that would occur with the same location. Here is a screenshot of the second tab and the thumbnails that are on the map.

It is working great and I can’t find any bugs. So I pass the new features on to you. Let me know if you have any problems.

Look for a new Profile feature coming next!

New Feature: Photo Descriptions Displayed

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

I have been working on a new feature tonight. I am happy to tell you that flickr descriptions are now added along with your pindrops. Any new photos added will show up as of tonight.

Don’t delete your pindrops and re-add them just to get the descriptions showing up. I will create an update script and add it to the site as a UPDATE option. This UPDATE page will get your photo titles and photo description and update the database with your latest details. This will make it very easy for you. So get adding your descriptions.

Going forward I encourage you to add relevant titles and detailed descriptions to your photos before pin dropping them. If it is worth adding to Pindropr then it is work adding a title and description.

Also you are limited to 500 characters on your descriptions regardless of how much text you can enter on flickr.

Here is a screenshot and link to pindrop with a description added.

Monday, February 16th, 2009

I have added quick feature tonight. In addition to the email link to send the pindrop there is now a link back to flickr. Just look for the flickr logo on the pop up bubble. Here is a screen shot.

Database Refresh Last Night

Saturday, February 14th, 2009

I emptied the database last night. It was necessary since I added a new field in hopes of making a few updates to improve the speed of the add and delete pages. You will need to add your pindrops again.

Sorry for the inconvenience but we are still in beta.
