I vote to disqualify Judd for voting to disqualify gate to gate laps from team 3.

Hi folks. I’ve made lots of changes today to…how we’re handling photos.

now supporting native Strava (not just Instagram) photos. Note: due to limitations in Strava API only primary/first non-Instagram photo will be added.

[*] We only support the primary/first photo when you use Strava directly to host the images (i.e. not Instagram). This is due to the fact that their API only returns the full photo list for Instagram photos. Not sure if it’s really broken or just misdocumented, but it does not work as advertised.

Can you provide a little clarification on how photos are brought in to the freezing saddles webpage?

As I understand it:
The first photo associated with a strava ride will be show on the webpage, regardless if it is from Instagram, or not.

Instagram photos tagged with #BAFS2016 are pulled in to the webpage.

Is it limited to only the most recent 10 photos now?

I didn’t see it mentioned elsewhere in this thread. I keep noticing though that for me, I’m always off by one ride. By that I mean, my ride from a given morning doesn’t seem to get added to my stats on the FS site until after I do my evening commute home. Then that ride won’t show up until after I complete my next ride the following day.

Is this expected behavior?

– We always fetch the first (primary) photo for any ride. If the photo is only associated with the ride later (e.g. when you edit it and add the photo), this should get picked up within the hour.
– Multiple photos for the ride only work when those photos are on a linked Instagram account. This is a limitation (bug?) in the Strava API. There may be some nuance for how this is supposed to work, but I have not seen it work for anything but instagram.
– The freezingsaddles.com website does not care about photo tagging (e.g. “#BAFS2016”). I don’t know if anyone is paying attention to those tags, but one could find all tagged photos via Instagram if they wanted. That’s just an Instagram feature.
– We show 11 photos on the homepage; there is a “more” link (looks like “>”) and there is also a “photos” tab at the top that will show all photos from the [current] competition.

One of my rides seems to be stuck somewhere. There’s a 12-mile difference between what’s showing on the leaderboard and my miles in the bubble chart. It’s been that way for several days. Leaderboard is correct (i.e. same miles as my strava account); bubble is less.

When you log in (to FS website) and see the list of your rides, is one missing? I can check if there are any errors associated with your account. Errors used to include leaving time null (for manual rides), though I think it should allow that in most cases now.

Edit: also, that chart excludes manual rides for aforementioned reasons of too much dirty data (infinite speeds).

Aha! That looks like it.
I guess that was a change from last year. We used to have a small group of riders with zero elevation

What do you have against infinitely fast riders?

[hozn]

Yeah, it is a recent change. I guess that was mentioned on a separate thread. There were numerous rides a day where folks were forgetting to enter any elapsed times. So rather than just drop those rides (or contact each person), I just disabled manual rides in some of the charts.

Also, who is Max P?

Apparently freezingsaddles.com has lost interest in my photos. Admittedly, I don’t post many pics to Instagram or link many to Strava activities, but when I noticed today’s pic didn’t sync to freezingsaddles.com, I investigated and found the site hadn’t synced photos for me since the end of January! Where’s the love, freezingsaddles.com??

Are you certain? It is true they don’t look “sync’d” on the “my rides” unless you use instagram. This is a bit confusing but the “photos-fetched” attribute only applies nos to instagram (where there are multiple). Your primary photo should still show up on the photos page (and briefly on the homepage).

So, the pic is in Instagram and on Strava, but not on freezing saddles.com. I’m telling you, the site has totally unfriended me!

It is likely a bug; I will look into it. (Maybe the instagram photos aren’t syncing at all; I haven’t been using Instagram so my “testing” has been incomplete.)

[Judd]

I usually see about a four to eight hour delay from when I upload a picture on Strava and when it appears in the photos on Freezing Saddles. It appears that there’s a little bit of a lag for the people I follow too. Not complaining, just observing.
