How do I modify the least observed species URL to restrict the search to a country?

[ruth-palsson]

I use this for the world.

Least observed species: https://elias.pschernig.com/wildflower/leastobserved.html?user=ruth-palsson

I would like to be able to restrict it to a certain place, specifically Fiji. I found the place id for Fiji and tried this:

https://elias.pschernig.com/wildflower/place_id=7332&leastobserved.html?user=ruth-palsson

Unsuccessful!

Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Thanks

You are very welcome @ruth-palsson but no tech-guru I, I confess I only tapped the Filter box, then typed “Fiji” in the drop-down, then clicked Update.

Good thinking!!

So it comes down to the fact that this is an external site which, therefore, does not use iNaturalist’s place id’s

Well, it works with iNaturalist’s “place” (really place_id, a number, e.g. 7332 for ‘Fiji’)… provided the URL is written correctly ;)

https://elias.pschernig.com/wildflower/place_id=7332&leastobserved.html?user=ruth-palsson
should have been
https://elias.pschernig.com/wildflower/leastobserved.html?user=ruth-palsson&place_id=7332
and then it works beautifully.

@ShotShot

and then it works beautifully.

Not when I use it, it doesn’t. It removes the place_id section and gives me the list unfiltered by place.

Might be an issue with your browser (some ad/script filtering?)

How it is supposed to appear (here tested under a plain Windows/MSEdge browser):

Ruth, I am so glad the extremely simple solution I found worked for you. And Fiji being only only 4 characters to type was a bonus!

(My experience was that the drop-down menu was very user-friendly, but apparently there may be additional, more complicated ways that may also work, should you wish to explore adding additional steps.)
