<h1>Cave data file</h1>
|
|
<p>These files live in <span style="font-family: monospace">:expoweb:/cave_data/</span>
|
|
<p>The example full format below is of a very simple cave with hardly any fields filled in.
|
|
|
|
There will only be an additional description file for large and complex caves.

<!-- Yes we should not be using the <tt> "teletype" tag as it is deprecated. -->
|
|
<p>As you can see, this is an XML tag format similar to HTML but with tags defined to hold cave survey data. These files are processed by troggle in real-time to produce an HTML file on the fly which is sent to your browser so that it
|
|
looks <a href="http://expo.survex.com/1623/76/76.html">like this</a>
|
|
|
|
<p>An explanation of what the field names mean and how they are used is on
|
|
the <a href="caveentryfields.html">cave entry fields</a> page. There is not an exact correspondance between
|
|
the form and the file format however.
|
|
|
|
<p>When you fill in the online form you creating a file just like the one above: troggle takes the input data from the form and creates the file. Troggle also stores the cave information in it's live memory when you use the form method.
|
|
<p>If instead of using the form you create the file by hand and upload it to the server you will also need find a nerd to run the cave import procedure before troggle "knows" that the cave exists.
|
|
<h3>Cave entrances</h3>
|
|
<p>There is <a href="newentrancefile.html">an exactly analogous file</a> for cave entrances except that those files live in <span style="font-family: monospace">:expoweb:/entrance_data/</span>
|
|
<h3>Template Files - please use these</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are template files for you to fill-in when creating new caves and entrance in the online system. Download them:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a download href="../../templates/cave_data.html">cave_data template</a>
|
|
<li><a download href="../../templates/entrance_data.html">entrance_data template</a>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
These are XML files, exactly as shown above, but with extensive instructions within each file.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>File layout</h2>
|
|
<p>The caves in our site are stored as XML files in the directory <tt>:expoweb:/cave_data</tt> and in
|
|
files named <tt>:expoweb:/cave_data/{area}-{cavenumber}.html</tt>. Entrances are correspondingly
|
|
in <tt>:expoweb:/entrance_data</tt> files, with the same naming convention, except that if
|
|
there is more than one entrance they have a,b,c suffixes, e.g. <tt>:expoweb:/<b>entrance</b>_data/{area}-{cavenumber}b</tt>
|
|
<p></p>Any <em>associated files</em>, usually photos and surveys, are
|
|
stored under the area names <tt>:expoweb:/1623/{cavenumber}/ent_photo1.jpg</tt> or <tt>:expoweb:/1626/{cavenumber}/</tt>
|
|
Note that this is a different naming convention: caves and entrances have the {area} as <em>
|
|
part of the file name
|
|
</em>
|
|
whereas associated files have the {area} <em>as a directory</em> in which the files are stored.
|
|
<p>An
|
|
understanding of this file layout is very important when filling in the forms or writing the tags so that images
|
|
appear on the final published website. The URLs in the XML file <em>should be relative URLs</em> to the cave page, which <em>appears</em>
|
|
as <tt>cave/{area}/{cavenumber}</tt> on the website even though <em>internally</em> the data
|
|
is coming from <tt>cave_data/{area}-{cavenumber}.html and entrance_data/{area}-{cavenumber}.html</tt> </p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Handy tips for images</h3>
|
|
<p>Cave description files get moved about quite a bit while a cave is being actively explored. And even if the files are not moved, the user-visible URL can move (remember the 171 and 172 caves had different levels of nesting in the url). Doing either of those breaks all the image links
|
|
<em>unless</em> you do it like this:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Do not use relative links like this <var>href = "../imgs/2020_w_01/deepandsqualid/camp5.jpg"</var>
|
|
<li>Put all the images for a cave into the same folder, and use absolute links: <var>href = "/1623/2020_w_01/i/camp5.jpg"</var> with a leading slash "/".
|
|
<li>A common idiom is to have subfolders "/i/", "/t/" and "/l/" containing respectively the full image (~600 pixels across), a thumbnail image, and an HTML file fragment of the big image with descriptive text.
|
|
</ul>
