Search CSDB is really unfriendly :(
Hey guyz, i am not talking about the complexity of
the search Criteria options (for Advanced) which i see it really annoying and quite unfriendly , but my advice: why you don't copy my search parameters to "Advanced" . for ex: if i search for a certain release which i don't find in my normal search (type of item+name) and than click the "Advanced" i expect the criteria will be set for my search already. why should i see all the Groups/Release/Events/users and much more Parameters if i from the begining don't search for them. its a but hard to get it. im sorry if i sound a bit harsh but also the sort of the releases is random , instead of sort with latest releases (current date and down - "Desc") |

Quoting GroepazQuote:Are you talking about some internal stuff? Because this is the first time I read about this.
sure, internal to moderators and a few other people. it was set up after countless months and years of trying to convince perff that there is stuff that needs fixing. and then noone except me even bothered to look at it. go figure ^_^
Quote:According to my experience, it is probably easier and less time consuming to fix/update/maintain old code than to rewrite everything from scratch. Unless it is really really really shitty spagetti.
as i said, you'll have to rewrite it :)
OK, that explains a lot.
Quoting DGGRHave you not heard of C64 Scene App made by Mr SID? All we need to have an extension of the current API (i.e. to support adding comments) so anybody can make their own client. Amen :)
I think it is using the webservice, which is a quite tedious way to get the desired info. I pissed blood while I was building TPC, in the end I mostly relied on my HTML parsers rather than the .xml CSDb provided. |

Yes, it works fine, albeit just for browsing. The additional emulator is a pretty cool feature to snack my way through the latest releases. Gotta admit, a search functionality would be nice. But I'm patient. :) |

That's the point Hein & Poopmonster :) You've just proven that all we need is a better (perhaps JSON) API much easier to do than fixing the old PHP mumbo-jumbo.
Who needs another/new CDSB site, when we can build anything based off CSDB database. |

Indeed, I bet this solves the self messaging and post editing problems for some too ;) |
