Navigation, links (Read 504 times)

Hi, Some suggestions for inter-linking on the summary page for a run (what you get when you click a workout on the calendar): 1. Add Next and Prev nav. links to take you directly to the next/previous day's workout (or next workout or whatever makes sense) 2. Add links on Course and Shoe line to "all runs on this course" and "all runs with this shoe". The fields are already linked to the course and shoe entries -- I'm proposing an additional link so that I can quickly get a list of all runs on the same course or with that shoes. [An extension, which would require some indexing work behind the scenes, would be to be able to step through runs on the same course sequentially with single clicks. Rapidly generalizes to something complex like user-defined iteration sequences which is way beyond the scope of this project. . . .] No hurry or worry -- still love the site just as it is! -tm35

I'll look into iterating through the workouts. Not quite sure how to do it, but then, it can't be easy all the time.

I wasn't seriously suggesting you tackle this problem -- it feels really ugly and pretty hard! But, continuing along my earlier line of thought, from the user point of view, I think the interface would be a bit like for charting, except that what you build is a set of criteria for a "thread" through the list of workouts. The ordered list has to be cached somewhere (server-side?) and the user simply steps through it, one-by-one. "Details are left to the dedicated designer-programmer." Whatever you do, please, please put this at the very, very end of your requested feature list!

You can already do what you want with request #2. Click on the name of the course or shoe will bring you a list of workouts for that particular item.

Maybe I'm missing something -- when I click on the "adidas Blah" link on the "Shoe: adidas Blah" line of the page for a particular workout, I get a page showing the info for that shoe, not the list of all runs with that shoe. Similarly, clicking on a course name gets me the info page for the course (map, default distance, surface, etc.), not the list of all runs on that course. Am I following the wrong link, or did I misinterpret what you meant? I know that from the "Shoes" page I can get the list I want, similarly from the "Courses" page -- what I was thinking of was getting that functionality on the workout page. Cut out a few clicks, if you follow. Thanks again for being so patient in listening and responding to our chatter, -tom

I have to second tm35's request #1. I use the notes function a lot when I'm logging runs, and often want to page through a week's worth of workouts to look at trends. It's easy enough to use Firefox and have the workouts list open in one tab, with whatever specifc one I'm looking at in another, but it'd be great to just have prev and next llinks sometime. No rush though. This place is hands-down the best log on the internet as it is.
