New details pages with timeline

Platform Updates
1

On the website, you’ll now see a new version of the artwork details page when clicking into a marker.

This new version is consistent between the city map version and elsewhere on the website (previously, these were two slightly different views).

It also shows community notes, as well as a timeline of previous artworks on the same wall!

Want to have a look? The Le MUR d’Anvers walls by @Streetartwerpenaar are a great example.

As part of this change, we had to upgrade some things about how the website works, so if you find any bugs, please do let me know!

It took a full 10 years, but we finally have arrived at some version of what we called the ‘graveyard’ in year 1 :joy:

@thomas got a tech question:

What if I upload a new mural and I link the previous wall. Does it automatically attach the linked walls of that previous wall?

That would be awesome :+1:

Yep! It looks both directions, so that should just work.

I love how it automatically shows the history of the wall on all of the images in the chain, it is really a clever implementation.

It does raise one issue with me though and it’s a rather pedantic one, but hey that’s me … lol.

Would it be better to say “History of the wall” on the timeline screen rather than “Previously on this wall” because technically when viewing the first/oldest version of the wall for example there are no “Previous” images shown.

I like that idea of changing the name to ‘history’ instead of ‘timeline’. Maybe a little hovering text explaining.

Another future improvement could be to collapse those walls behind the years. I can imagine with some "‘le MUR’s’ who already have +100 chapters the list would become very long.

And maybe only display the tab ‘timeline’ when there’s actually a historic wall linked?

I feel like ‘history’ might imply the history of that specific marker, not of the wall, right?

I’ve updated it though to hide the tab when there’s no linked walls available, good point!

My suggestion was purely regarding the text on the Timeline tab that says “Previously on this wall” which is technically wrong when you’re viewing the oldest mural in the chain, dubious with the intermediate walls and only really correct when viewing the latest mural.

As I said, a pedantic suggestion. I do likes Tim’s idea about hiding the tab if there is no data.

Cool, have updated it!
