Strava Club Tracker

Strava club progress tracker/dashboard generator, uses StravaPHP to interface with the Strava API and total club members' stats. Generates views including club totals, individual leaders, club rosters and individuals' activity details.

Here's an example screenshot of a main summary page, and of a club member's activity detail page. Here's the composer package.

Why?

As a charity fundraiser, a group I'm in held a month-long exercise challenge organized with multiple teams, and decided to use Strava Clubs to track each team's progress toward a group mileage goal. While Strava is great for tracking individual efforts, sharing photos etc., and the clubs were a great way to keep everyone motivated and organize group rides and walks, the default club views were too limited and didn't work for us. For example, totals did not include all activity types (they exclude Hike, Walk etc.), and we wanted to count various activity types differently (a 1-km swim is a lot harder than a 1-km ride!), and to see the whole group and all the clubs together as a single dashboard.

Main features

Track one club or a group of clubs
Club totals by activity and across activities
Highlights top efforts
Highlights individual leaders
Club rosters and individual activity details, so participants can confirm at a glance that their activities were included
Generates HTML output (swappable template callback)
Configurable rules:
- Configure distance units (miles, km, meters etc.)
- Count mileage differently for each activity (e.g. 2x for Swim, 0.25x for Ride)
- Combine multiple activity types (e.g. combine "Walk" and "Hike", or "Ride" and "VirtualRide")
- Customize activity labels
- Data quality/sanity checks for speed and duration, for when people inevitably forget to stop Strava and get in a car or a sofa. Changes 2 mph "runs" to walks, etc.
Class methods to return totals and structured data
CSV export

Quick start

This library includes a simple example implementation in /example. In Strava, you'll need to have at least one club set up, with club members and completed activities (rides, runs, etc.). You'll need Strava API credentials.

To bootstrap the example:

Copy the example directory and its contents to a new project directory.
Change to the lib directory and use Composer to install the library and its dependencies:

cd lib
composer install

Edit htdocs/example_update.php and set the list of Strava Club IDs, start and end date, Strava API credentials and https callback URI. It's best to start by testing with a start/end period of just a few days.
Load example_update.php via https in a browser and click the link. It will obtain OAuth authorization from Strava and use the Strava API to download club data to the json directory.
Edit build.php and make any changes you like. By default, this script uses miles as distance unit and includes Ride, Run, Walk and Hike activities.
Run build.php from the CLI to generate HTML files into htdocs/.

php build.php

Needless to say, this example application isn't production quality and doesn't include access or authorization controls, it's meant for demo use only! It's split into two parts so that you can edit and rerun build.php offline many times to play with the generator functionality and syntax.

Strava permissions and club/person/activity visibility

Strava manages visibility of club details, members and activities according to its security and privacy policies. In order for club members to be included and their activities counted, each member must make their activities visible to your application's user. For example, a member could make activities visible to all users (currently, Strava's default setting), or only to Followers, and then accept your user as a Follower.

If a club member's activities don't show up, they should check their visibility settings in Strava and make sure they've made those activities visible to the club member user running your application.
