Conduit - dive record template

This template is a prototype of your logbook dive pages.

You can use any simple PDL-keyword and reference keywords like:

<PDL_... > ... </PDL_... >

and the following repeat blocks:

<PDL_repeat_schedule> ... </PDL_repeat_schedule>

<PDL_repeat_tank> ... </PDL_repeat_tank>

for your template.

navigation block

Headers and footers of dive pages may contaion so called navigation blocks to jump to previous and following dives.
But, of course, the PDL-keywords can be used anywhere in the HTML-document not only within header or footer.

keyword	description	parameter
<PDL_html_index >	reference to logbook index (default caption: index)	ref or forceref + all
<PDL_prev_dive_number >	reference to previous dive (default caption: previous dive number)	ref or forceref + all
<PDL_next_dive_number >	reference to next dive (default caption: next dive number)	ref or forceref + all

Use the ref or forceref - parameter to define a hyperlink reference.
The difference between ref and forceref is, that ref shows the field, even if there is no vaild hyperlink while forceref will hide the whole field under such conditions.

To add your own text to a refence field, use the prefix and text parameters.

a typical navigation block will look something like:

dive: 1

index

dive: 3

HTML-code:

<table cellpadding="10" align="center">
<tr>
<td>
   <PDL_prev_dive_number forceref prefix="dive: "></PDL_prev>
</td>
<td>
   <PDL_html_index forceref></PDL_index>
</td>
<td>
   <PDL_next_dive_number forceref prefix="dive: "></PDL_next>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

basic dive date

Insert the data about your dives by using simple PDL-keyword.

a small subset of allowed keywords:

keyword	description	parameter
<PDL_dive_number >	number of dive in logbook	all
<PDL_date >	date of dive	all
<PDL_time >	time the dive started	all
<PDL_location >	global location of divesite	all
<PDL_place >	place of divesite	all
<PDL_dive_depth >	maximal depth of dive	all
<PDL_dive_time >	duration of dive	all
<PDL_dive_rating >	rating of dive 1 (worst) ... 5 (best)	all
<PDL_buddy >	dive buddies	all
<PDL_notes >	notes	all

example:

dive #: 2
location / place
date: 01.01.2001 12:00

dive time: 30 min
max. depth: 30 m

HTML-code:

<b>dive #: <PDL_dive_number>2</PDL_dive_number></b><br>
<b><PDL_location ref>location</PDL_location> / <PDL_place ref>place</PDL_place></b><br>
date: <PDL_date>01.01.2001</PDL_date> <PDL_time>12:00</PDL_time><br>
<br>
dive time: <PDL_dive_time>30 min</PDL_dive_time><br>
max. depth: <PDL_dive_depth>30 m</PDL_dive_depth><br>

Use the ref parameter with the PDL_location and PDL_place keywords to create a hyperlink to the corresponding divesite page.

tank list

The tank list is implmented as a repeat block.

<PDL_repeat_tank> ... </PDL_repeat_tank>

with following keywords:

keyword	description	parameter
<PDL_tank_gas >	gas in tank	all
<PDL_tank_in >	preassure at start of dive	all
<PDL_tank_name >	name and type of tank	all
<PDL_tank_number >	number of tank	all
<PDL_tank_out >	preassure at end of dive	all
<PDL_tank_type >	type of tank (steel or aluminium)	all
<PDL_tank_volume >	volume of tank	all

example:

tank 1: air
tank 2: NTX36

HTML-code:


<ul>
<PDL_INSERTED>
</PDL_INSERTED>
</ul>

dive schedule

The dive schedule is implmented as a repeat block.

<PDL_repeat_schedule> ... </PDL_repeat_schedule>

with following keywords:

keyword	description	parameter
<PDL_schedule_depth >	depth of scheduled stop	all
<PDL_schedule_gas >	gas used at this stop	all
<PDL_schedule_runtime >	over all runtime	all
<PDL_schedule_tanknumber >	number of tank used at this stop	all
<PDL_schedule_time >	duration of this stop	all

example:

depth	time	runtime	gas
6 m	20 min	20 min	air
3 m	10 min	30 min	NTX36

HTML-code:

<table>
<tr>
<td><b>depth</b></td>
<td><b>time</b></td>
<td><b>runtime</b></td>
<td><b>gas</b></td>
</tr>

<PDL_INSERTED>
</PDL_INSERTED>
</table>

Take care to enter the correct filename of your template to the divelog.ini.
