Suggest some functions (or I want)

[YuSheng]

1. add a "all" checkbox for Structure Type in search form.
(I made a sample)


Because I wanted to search some architectures except highrises sometime, I thought this will be convenient for me.

2. show architectures besides highrises in map.
Recently, I wanted to check whether some masts or chimneys have been added to the database. If they can be shown in map, it would be more helpful.
Maybe those architectures can be shown in other colors instead of gray, that can be distinguished from highrises.

3. adjust the information table of diagram
3-1. add native name
3-2. add additional names with "title attribute"
3-3. If architects of this building are two or more, others will be shown in "title attribute"
(I made a sample)


Just suggestion (ゝ∀･)

Good idea!
But unfortunately, some Chinese users can't see the map in SSC at all because the website wall.

All structure types aren't visible in the list. Wind Turbines for example.

if you need complicated search for dams and wind turbines, you can use my page http://skyscraperpages.inf.ua/investigatio/

The search function could use some improvement that's for sure. Before I do that though I have to upgrade the forum software. I've been saying this for years. Back in 2018 a test upgrade was done. It mostly worked but there were a few things that didn't. I think I can do it now, I've got PHP 8 running on the server. But last week the hot water tank in my building burst a pipe and flooded my place with an inch of water. So I won't be doing much with the website for a few weeks until I can get my place dried out and put back together.

I hope that when I want to upload images on the forum, it can directly read them from my system instead of needing a link, which is very troublesome.

I also thought about some features and changes, and since I don't want to make a new thread, I will share my suggestions here.
My idea was to narrow the criteria for cities to be shown on the main city diagram list. For example instead of at least 10 drawn highrises/towers, maybe 15 would be better.
Alternatively, for a city to appear on the main page, its diagram would have to have at least 10 drawn highrises over 50 m. (Just an idea to focus more on higher buildings).

I would like to see a return to 50 buildings per page.

I agree with these suggestions

I've also been thinking it would be nice if we could see lowrises, towers, chimneys, etc. on a city's map. They could either show up in a different color, as you suggested, or use the same color as built highrises but with an option to "hide" such structures (in case someone just wants to see the marked highrises). Alternatively, they could be hidden by default, and we could select a "show all structures" option—or something similar—if we want to see all structure types that have been marked on the map.

I'd also like to be able to view entries labeled as canceled, vision, destroyed, etc. I've noticed that these building statuses already have different colors assigned to them. If possible, please add options to toggle them on/off in the "Legend & Status Selection" feature. The map could still load by default showing only entries that are "Built," "Under Construction," "On Hold," and "Proposed" (plus "Show cities").

For the inclusion of lowrises, the "Minimum Height Selection" feature could go all the way down to 0, but still use 35 meters as the default. Maps would continue to load showing only buildings classified as highrises, but we'd have the option to display all marked entries by lowering the slider.

I am new here, but I was searching for a possibility to download a PDF of diagram.
Or, it would be cool, if I could ,,check out,, the building, that I saw in person...

I would change the order of the check boxes as followed:

1) Highrise
2) Lowriese
3) Tower
4) Truss Tower
5) Guyed mast
6) Chimney
7) Church
8) Mosque
9) Bridge
10) Dam
11) Pyramid
12) Pole
13) Ferris Wheel
14) Vertical Ride
15) Roller Coaster
16) Silo
17) Water Tower
18) Statue
19) Offshore
20) Stadium
21) Sphere
22) Frame
23) Other

I would create for dams an extra category.

Display of native names and search according native names must be possible. It must be possible to dispay multiple native names!
