It’s with great pride that Humuhumu and I announce a huge new feature for Tiki Central:

Critiki locations attached directly to Tiki Central topics!

When a topic contains discussion about a location that’s in Critiki’s database, you’ll see the Critiki logo at the top of the page, along with the names of the locations. Click on any name to visit Critiki and get information, photos, and ratings for that location!

Look at the top of this topic for an example.

How do Critiki locations get associated with topics? By and large, Humuhumu is in charge of doing all the dirty work by hand. She’s spent hours combing through existing topics to make the links, and she (and to a much smaller degree I) will continue to update the data as new topics are created. There’s still a lot more work to be done in this department, especially on older topics, and integration will be continuous, but most of the fresh topics have been covered.

Implementing this feature – interfacing Tiki Central with Critiki – represents the largest change to the Tiki Central database ever undertaken, and I thank Humuhumu for her effort in making it happen. It required significant code changes on both Tiki Central and Critiki.

Please! Let us all know what you think!

PS, did you know that our own member tikicleen has a rather impressive collection of Stockton Islander items?
