OC log types
Opened this issue · 5 comments
andrixnet suggested in opencaching/okapi#511 to add an element for OC log types.
@andrixnet: Which log types to you have in mind? I could only find these two which have no GC counterparts:
- OCPL "OC Team comment"
- OCDE "Locked"
For "OC Team comment", I would prefer a flag, because it can be combined with any type of OCDE log (and it is a flag in OKAPI, too). An OCPL team comment then would be a GC "Write note" + oc:team_comment flag.
The OCDE "Locked" log type is of little relevance. Users will very rarely download GPX data of a locked cache (in OKAPI it's not possible at all), and it's also very rare the a locked cache comes back to life. For these very rare cases, I think it's ok to have the log type as "Archived" in GPX.
Just verified via okapi/devel/attrlist that that there are no more than the above two special OC log types.
Damn... I missed the OCPL "Moved" log type. This is important.
Uh... this is another complicated issue. There are differences in what is a log type and what a gerneral log property in OCPL, OCDE and Okapi. This applies to the maintenance flags/types as well to moved/log-coordinates. And can we use groundspeak:log_wpt for the coords?
This will need time to sort it out. I would rather postpone that.
Both OKAPI and OCPL code put the OCPL log types ("Moved" and "OC Team Comment") into groundspeak:type! Noone complained about that, so all the GPX parsers out there can handle this. GSAK treats them as "Comment" logs. I guess all the other do the same.
So the only thing missing is the OCDE "Locked" type. We cannot put this in groundspeak:type, because it maps to GS "Archive".
- I would make equivalent
groundspeak:typeentries for each log type that is 1<->1 equivalent - I would make closest meaningful match of
groundspeak:typefor those that are not equivalent - I would add
oc:logtypefor each log type
