## Description

Activator Toolkit is a WordPress plugin for amateur radio operators who activate
summits for **Summits on the Air (SOTA)** or parks for **Parks on the Air (POTA)**.
Add the Activator Toolkit block to any post or page, pick SOTA or POTA with the 
toggle at the top of the block, upload your files, and the plugin builds the rest.

**In SOTA mode**, upload your GPX track and your activation log (SOTA CSV, ADIF,
or ADI). You get:

 * An interactive map of your hike with three base layers (Topographic, OpenStreetMap,
   Minimal)
 * An elevation profile chart that tracks your position on the map as you hover
 * The summit’s activation zone drawn on the map, with a “Zoom to Activation Zone”
   button
 * Hiking statistics: hiking time, activation time, total time, elevation gain and
   peak, hiking speed, and total distance
 * A contacts table with Summit-to-Summit (S2S) contacts highlighted
 * An interactive contact map showing where every station you worked was located

**In POTA mode**, upload the ADIF log you submit to pota.app. You get:

 * Your park (or parks) named at the top, looked up automatically from the official
   POTA park list
 * An interactive contact map with a pin at your park and a line to every station
   you worked
 * Park-to-Park (P2P) contacts placed at the other station’s park and marked with
   a P2P badge
 * A contacts table with a “Their Park” column and P2P contacts highlighted
 * Support for activating several parks at once from the same spot

Both modes show a “Furthest contact” tile on the contact map, and hovering a row
in the contacts table highlights that station on the map.

**Your existing posts are safe.** Every block created before POTA support was added
stays in SOTA mode. Only blocks you switch to POTA render as POTA.

**No other plugins required.** All map and chart libraries (Leaflet 1.9.4, Chart.
js 4.5.1) are bundled with the plugin.

#### Features

 * **SOTA / POTA Toggle:** Each block has its own SOTA or POTA mode, so one site
   can mix summit and park posts. Choose which mode new blocks start in under Settings
   Activator Toolkit  General.
 * **GPX Track Map (SOTA):** Interactive Leaflet map with Topographic, OpenStreetMap,
   and Minimal base layers
 * **Elevation Chart (SOTA):** Profile chart below the map; hover to see a position
   dot move along the track
 * **Activation Zone Overlay (SOTA):** The most detailed zone available is used 
   automatically: SOTLAS terrain zones first, then Activation.Zone (by N6ARA), then
   a simple radius circle. You can override the source per post.
 * **Intelligent Track Analysis (SOTA):** Splits your outing into hiking time and
   activation time, with rest breaks tracked separately
 * **Park Lookup (POTA):** Your park reference is read from the log (MY_SIG_INFO
   or MY_POTA_REF) and the park’s name and location come from the POTA park database
 * **Park-to-Park Detection (POTA):** Contacts who logged their own park are highlighted,
   placed at that park on the map, and shown with a P2P badge
 * **Multiple Log Formats:** SOTA CSV v2, ADIF (.adif), and ADI (.adi); the format
   is detected automatically
 * **Interactive Contact Map:** Lines from your summit or park to every contact,
   colored by band, with a Furthest Contact tile and a list of any stations that
   could not be located
 * **Smart Station Locations:** Grid squares from your log are used first; otherwise
   the plugin looks up the callsign with Callook.info (free, US), HamQTH (free account,
   worldwide), or QRZ.com (XML subscription)
 * **Locations Saved at Activation Time:** Each station’s location is stored, so
   your map keeps showing where they were on the day of the activation even if they
   move later
 * **Metric or Imperial Units:** km, m, km/h or mi, ft, mph
 * **Fully Customizable:** Colors, S2S and P2P highlight colors, headlines, block
   width, and fonts in Settings  Activator Toolkit
 * **Block Editor Friendly:** Simple Gutenberg block with file upload, auto-detected
   summit or park reference, and manual override fields
 * **Responsive Design:** Works on phones and desktops

#### How Activation Time is Calculated (SOTA)

The plugin finds the summit’s activation zone, then counts any time your GPS track
spends inside it as activation time. It looks for the zone in this order:

 1. **SOTLAS:** Terrain-based zone boundaries at roughly 1 meter detail, when SOTLAS
    has them for the summit.
 2. **Activation.Zone:** Terrain-based zone from the Activation.Zone API by N6ARA, 
    based on elevation data and the official SOTA 25m vertical drop rule.
 3. **Radius circle:** A configurable circle (default 50m) around the highest point
    of your track, used when neither service has a zone for the summit.

You can force a specific source for any post in the block’s Statistics Overrides
panel.

#### How POTA Mode Works

POTA mode is driven entirely by your log file. Upload the ADIF log you submit to
pota.app and the plugin:

 1. Reads your park reference from the log (for example US-8144). For a multi-park 
    activation, list several parks separated by commas.
 2. Looks up each park’s name and official location from the POTA park database.
 3. Places a pin at your park and draws a line to each station you worked.
 4. Places Park-to-Park contacts at their park, and everyone else at their grid square
    or callsign location.

POTA does not publish park boundaries, so there is no activation zone in POTA mode.
Each park is shown as a single pin at its official location.

#### Supported Log Formats

**SOTA CSV v2** (the format exported from SOTA logging apps and submitted to sota.
org):
 V2, MyCall, MySummit, Date (DD/MM/YY), Time, Frequency, Mode, TheirCall, 
TheirSummit, Comments

**ADIF / ADI:** Standard amateur radio log files exported from logging software 
such as HAMRS, Polo, WSJT-X, Log4OM, MacLoggerDX, and most others. Both `.adif` 
and `.adi` file extensions are accepted, and the format is detected automatically.
POTA mode reads the standard POTA fields (MY_SIG / MY_SIG_INFO / MY_POTA_REF for
your park, SIG / SIG_INFO / POTA_REF for the other station’s park).

#### Requirements

 * WordPress 6.0 or later
 * PHP 7.4 or later
 * A QRZ.com XML subscription is optional. Free Callook.info and HamQTH lookups 
   are tried first.

## FAQ

### Does it work for Parks on the Air (POTA)?

Yes. Switch the block to POTA (Parks) using the toggle at the top of the block, 
then upload your ADIF log. You get a park header, a contact map with your park pinned,
and a contacts table with Park-to-Park contacts highlighted.

### Will updating change my existing SOTA posts?

No. Every block made before POTA support was added stays in SOTA mode. Changing 
the default mode in Settings only affects brand new blocks.

### How does the plugin find my park?

From your log. Most POTA logging apps write your park into the MY_SIG_INFO or MY_POTA_REF
field, and the plugin reads it automatically. You can also type or correct the park
reference in the block’s sidebar.

### Can I activate more than one park at once?

Yes. Enter the parks separated by commas (for example `US-1254, US-3424`). Each 
park gets a pin on the map and is listed at the top. Distances are measured from
the first park.

### Why is there no activation zone in POTA mode?

POTA only publishes a single point for each park, not its boundary, so each park
is shown as a pin at its official location.

### Can I upload a GPX track in POTA mode?

Not yet. POTA mode is log only for now. Hike maps and statistics are available in
SOTA mode.

### Do I need any other plugins?

No. All mapping libraries are bundled with the plugin.

### How does the plugin determine hiking vs. activation time?

It finds the activation zone (SOTLAS first, then Activation.Zone, then a radius 
circle around the highest point) and counts all time your track spends inside the
zone as activation time. See “How Activation Time is Calculated” above.

### What is Activation.Zone?

Activation.Zone is a free tool by N6ARA that calculates the SOTA activation zone
for a summit from elevation data and the official 25m vertical drop rule. No account
required.

### What is SOTLAS?

SOTLAS is a popular SOTA mapping site that publishes high-detail activation zones
for many summits. When it has a zone for your summit, the plugin uses it first.

### What if no zone service has my summit?

The plugin falls back to a radius circle around the highest point of your track.
Statistics are still calculated, and the zone shows as an orange dashed circle instead
of a red polygon.

### Do I need a QRZ subscription?

No. Station locations are found in this order: grid squares in your log, then Callook.
info (free, US callsigns), then HamQTH (free account, worldwide), then QRZ.com if
you have an XML subscription. Stations that still cannot be located are listed in
a “No location found” panel on the map rather than silently dropped.

### What log file formats are supported?

SOTA CSV v2, ADIF (.adif), and ADI (.adi). The format is detected automatically.
If the file does not include your summit or park reference, the block prompts you
to enter one.

### Can I use Maidenhead grid squares for contact locations?

Yes. A grid square in the ADIF GRIDSQUARE field, or a 4 or 6 character grid in the
contact’s comments, is used to place the contact on the map without any lookup service.

### Can I override the calculated statistics?

Yes. In SOTA mode, the block’s sidebar has manual override fields for hiking distance,
hiking time, activation time, rest breaks, and total time, plus a choice of activation
zone source.

### Can I use multiple blocks on one page?

Yes. Each Activator Toolkit block is independent, and SOTA and POTA blocks can sit
on the same page.

### Can I switch between metric and imperial units?

Yes. Settings  Activator Toolkit  Display  Unit System. All statistics and charts
convert automatically.

### Can I customize the appearance?

Yes. Settings  Activator Toolkit lets you set background and text colors, S2S and
P2P highlight colors, headlines, block width, and whether to use your theme’s font.

## Changelog

#### 1.2.0

 * New: Parks on the Air (POTA) support. Each block has a SOTA / POTA toggle; POTA
   mode takes your ADIF log and shows your park, a contact map with your park pinned,
   and a contacts table
 * New: Park lookups from the POTA park database, with names and official locations;
   activations from several parks at once are supported
 * New: Park-to-Park (P2P) contacts are placed at their park on the map, highlighted
   in the table, and marked with a P2P badge, with their own colors in Settings
 * New: “Furthest contact” tile on the contact map, for both SOTA and POTA; click
   it to jump to that station
 * New: SOTLAS activation zones (about 1 meter detail) are now used first, then 
   Activation.Zone, then the radius circle; each post can override the zone source
 * New: Settings reorganized into General, Summits (SOTA), Parks (POTA), Display,

   and sets the default mode for new blocks
 * New: Hike statistics show Total Distance; Elevation Gain and Peak Elevation are
   combined into one tile
 * Improve: Plugin renamed to “Activator Toolkit for SOTA & POTA” with a new logo
   and banner
 * Improve: A log file with no contacts now shows a short message instead of an 
   empty map and table
 * Improve: Existing posts are unaffected. Blocks made before this version always
   stay in SOTA mode

#### 1.1.10

 * Fix: Replaced the “Minimal” map tile source (CartoDB), which began requiring 
   an API key and showing an “API KEY REQUIRED” watermark, with OpenStreetMap tiles
   plus a muted CSS filter: same look, no API key needed. Affects both the Contact
   Map and the GPX map’s Minimal layer.
 * Improve: “Minimal” is now the default map style for new plugin installs
 * Improve: Tested up to WordPress 7.1

#### 1.1.9

 * New: Small trash icon appears next to the GPX and log file upload boxes in the
   block editor once a file is attached, letting you clear just that file without
   deleting the whole block

#### 1.1.8

 * Fix: Log file uploads (.ADI/.ADIF) with uppercase extensions were rejected as
   an invalid file type; extension matching is now case-insensitive

#### 1.1.7

 * Improve: Contacts table Date and Time merged into a single column; time displayed
   smaller and dimmed below the date for a cleaner layout

#### 1.1.6

 * Improve: Contact location lookup now checks ADIF gridsquare field before falling
   back to comments or callsign lookup services
 * Improve: Summit-to-Summit contacts are now prioritized first in location lookup
   hierarchy; grid square (ADIF field or comments) comes second; callsign lookup
   services are used only when no grid is available
 * Improve: Settings  Callsign Lookup tab now explains the full location lookup 
   hierarchy in plain language
 * Improve: ADIF frequency values are normalized to a minimum of 3 decimal places(
   144.2  144.200); up to 5 decimal places are preserved when present
