Private nichtkommerzielle Eigeninitiative zur Förderung des Selbstbaus in der Elektrotechnik und im Amateurfunkdienst

Zufällig bin ich auf die Seite von Dirk, DH4YM gestoßen. Gottseidank! Denn Dirk bietet einen Platinenservice für Funkamateure an, um den Selbstbau im Amateurfunk zu fördern. Eine tolle Idee, wie ich meine. Die Qualität der hergestellten Platinen ist hervorragend! Ich kann seinen Service nur weiterempfehlen. Hier geht’s zur seiner Seite: http://www.mydarc.de/dh4ym/

WordPress ADIF Log Search Widget

More and more DXpeditions use Wordpress to advertise and to show their information about upcoming activities on the Internet. So far there is no Wordpress plugin or widget that allows you to upload log data to check the QSOs. There are several external solutions, but they can´t be integrated in wordpress.

I developed a plugin/widget that meets this requirement exactly. You can now upload the log data as ADIF so the QSO data is now ready for search. Of course, you can setup the view on the QSO data according to your personal needs. You can also define multiple call signs and references.

Functions:

Complete integration in WordPress

Import ADIF log data

Definition of different reference numbers, like IOTA, WFF, DXCC…

Usage of several call signs

Setup the view according to your personal needs

Installation

Download the ADIF Log search widget –> LogSearch 1.0c (01.11.2011)
Choose the “Plugins” menu in your WordPress backend
Choose “Plugin upload” to upload the ADIF Log Search widget
Installation starts automatically
Go to “Plugins” menu to activate the widget.

You should now find “Logbook” in your menu of your wordpress backend

Get the widget to your frontend

Choose “widget” in the “Design” menu
Drag the “ADIF Log Search” widget into your sidebar

Have fun!

Configuration

View

Personalize your view in the “Logbook” menu.

Upload

Upload your ADIF Log data in the “Upload” menu

If OP Call data in your ADIF file is defined, there is no need to fill in the call sign in the form. If not you have to define a call sign

Fill in a reference like DXCC Entity, IOTA, WFF, SOTA… or choose an existing one

Upload and transfer your data by choosing „Upload Log“. Log data is now ready for search.

References

In the “References” menu, you can edit, delete and create new references

Books

The „Books“ menu manages your logbooks.

Every reference has its own logbook. Sometimes you might want to expend your logbook by QSO data – like it is used by most DXpeditions, who update their QSO data for the QSO search/check daily.

You can do this by Choosing “Append” in the “Action” menu. To delete a complete logbook choose “Delete” from the “Action” menu.
