This project is tested with BrowserStack.

parksnpeaks_heimdall's Issues

Clicking callsign to open QRZ page

When clicking on the callsign of an activation card, it should open the activator's QRZ page in a new tab.

Add ZLOTA site lookup

Improve analytics

Allow SiOTA site lookup

Replace Turf lib

Turf is not tree shakeable, so ends up inflating the distributable.

Add SiOTA site lookup

Comment clipped

When using the respot function the comment that was posted to ParksnPeaks only contained the first word of the sentence entered in the comment box.

Also, when attempting to enter a comment, a droplist of earlier comments appears. If one attempts to select an earlier comment by moving the mouse over them the whole respot operation is aborted.

Callsigns not always behaving

Some issues to be resolved:

• Suffixes considered new callsigns. Eg, VK0AA and VK0AA/P are considered seperate.
• VI special event callsigns are not considered AU or NZ, eg. VI10VKFF

Add a count of Heimdall users.

Add an indication of the number of chasers currently viewing Heimdall.

Add spots list

Don't show activation if I can't re-work them on the current band/mode.

The activation should track which bands/modes have been worked, and only re-display if workable.

This will simplify chasing when someone is activating multiple parks/peaks/beaches etc. in a day, and potentially re-visiting the same frequencies several times on the same site.

Ideally, the chaser should be able to mark an activation as worked on a band/mode, and trust that if it re-displays, they are able to work it on the current band/mode.

Respot bar in inconsistent state after update

After an activation update, the respot bar is set to display, such that hovering over the activation shows the tools with the respot expanded, however it does not contain accurate data.

It appears that the viewState.respotIsVisible flag is being set to true as part of the activation update. Nothing in the code stands out as causing this, so further investigation will be needed.

Non-numeric frequencies display as NaN

PnP provided a spot as follows:
UTC Mon,02-10-23 4:25 WWFF Port Stephens - Great Lakes Marine Park [(VKFF-1410)](https://parksnpeaks.org/getPark.php?actPark=VKFF-1410) - VK2OKR on 7.155CA SSB Calling now everyone. Posted by VK2OKR

The provided frequency of 7.155CA then caused Heimdall to display it as NaN (not a number).

To resolve, there may need to be a mechanism to search for numbers within any text, such that leading or trailing non-numeric characters are ignored.

Setup the project

Extract PnP details

If the user is currently logged in to PnP, extract the username and key, without them having to manually do it.

Add map to activation

Replace OpenLayers with MapLibre

Map distance label renders with overlapping characters.

Due to the "great circle" line between start and end points, the label renders poorly at some zoom levels.

To resolve, create a straight virtual path, and apply the label to it, rather than the curved actual path.

Copy to clipboard does not always work

In some instances, the following event chain happens:

• PointerDown
• MouseDown
• PointerUp
• MouseUp
  The click event is not emitted.

Further investigation needs to take place to ascertain the root cause.

Strip bracketed sender from PnP's spot comment field.

It appears that when a spot is sent via the API, it is appended with [] e.g. "so and so calling CQ now [VK7ZA]"

Housekeeping

Respot panel hiding when mouse-out of activation.

Extracted from #3 to track it separately.

From VK2IO: "Also, when attempting to enter a comment, a droplist of earlier comments appears. If one attempts to select an earlier comment by moving the mouse over them the whole respot operation is aborted."

Add activator's name above their callsign.

Using the PnP API, retrieve the activator's name, and allow users to update if none provided.

Broken display on iPad

Not useful at all. Will need to investigate why it's not happy.
