I'd like to be able to view the results of challenges full size without having to go back to the main results page.
Why can't there be a Challenge Result Viewer with next and back (along w/ jump to #xxx)?

About now, ClubJuggle comes in and says it can't be done because it'd be too confusing. Then I and others post specific ideas showing how it could work.
Last time, he said he'd suggest it to Langdon.
In other words, yes, it's a great idea that many people have asked for over time. Maybe one of these days it'll rise to the top of the programming priority list, but I think that list is pretty long.

I understand priorities, but I was thinking minimal effort because I figured you could pretty much reuse much of the voting page's logic.

| Or just use the GreaseMonkey script in Firefox to get a slideshow of the results. ;o) |

Langdon has played with this a bit, but so far hasn't found a viable solution from a page-design standpoint.

Jeffrey forgot to predict this post but it's become a regular for this request, and it's one of my favorites! Thanks, Colette!
Might as well provide a link. Note that there are next/prev buttons, or you can just watch it. |

Yeah, I posted this same suggestion long ago, but as others pointed out, it's technically more complicated than it sounds. I'd rather have the current inconvenience than anything that would slow down the site.

Have had a chance to play w/ it some more.
I like it very much - it's amazing how different the images come across stripped down of the DPC site design.
A few mod requests if you don't mind ;)
And maybe it's just noob ignorance on existing features but what I'd like is:
- linking to the image in the results page either via the image title or image itself or both
- a scrollable sidebar showing comments within the slideshow window that has a view/hide toggle
- the ability to jump to a specific image place, say a textbox I can enter 50 or something
- If on page 13 of 37 and I click slideshow that it would begin at the image at the top of that page.
Like I said, pretty slick stuff and thanks!
ETA, 1 more thing!
Arrow keys for fwd and back please

Absolutely, great ideas, and thanks.
In general, I imagine lots of features, but end up running out of time and getting something out there to see if people like it. If so, I work on it more.
Image links: Hmm - I thought it already did this. Oops! Seems pretty obvious, doesn't it.
Arrow keys: Great idea, and pretty easy.
Start on given page: Maybe not too hard...
Jump to image: Again probably pretty easy...
Show comments: This is probably not going to happen soon. The reason is - I load the "show all results" page - which doesn't include the comments. It would be a lot more pageloads to show the comments of each. And I'm trying to keep the load light on Langdon's server. I even cache up and transfer the images from my server. Incidentally, my server is a bit less reliable than good ol' DPC's, so don't be surprised about down-time.
Cheers,
-Jeff |

Awesome, thanks for being so receptive.
I totally understand time crunches for personal projects - I've yet to get off of blogspot for our family site.
The show/hide comments feature isn't high on my wish list especially if I wanna see comments a simple link to the pic itself will show them.
I don't know the architecture and what all is possible with just greasemonkey scripts but wondered if the comments could only be loaded if the "show" button is clicked - hitting the image specific page under the covers and showing the comments in a flyout pane.
Can a greasemonkey script take content from multiple urls and combine them into a single page?
Anyways, pretty sweet stuff thanks again.

It's pretty sweet what it can do. It can load any page from the site and parse it all behind the scenes, then display whatever you want from the information you gather.
That's, in fact, exactly what the slideshow script does - it loads the results page with the 'show all results' checked. It then parses through and reads the image's number, title, and artist. With the image numbers, it knows what images to load and display.
But parsing isn't necessarily easy, and changes in the site can throw it off. And, like I said, I try not to overload the site for the purposes of my little extras. |
