Re: [ms] DJ Database

thanks :)

I also just realized it might not work on the podcast bot, so that's something else I'll need to check

ok, 4 hours after I started and [ms] will now automatically hyperlink all DJs in any future posts. This should be awesome for tracklists/etc in P&R! :)

Re: [ms] DJ Database

It's very well done and much more user-friendly. <i'd just add a "View all" at the bottom too.

#1468086Post 289 of 352

Re: [ms] DJ Database

Thanks! ...and done :)

#1468087Post 290 of 352

Re: [ms] DJ Database

Amazing work, how close is it now to the project you had in mind?

#1468088Post 291 of 352

Re: [ms] DJ Database

it's getting there day by day :D

Part of my original hopes included crawling the Facebook/MySpace/SoundCloud/Twitter URLs for our artists to pull in dynamic content from there. For example, I'd like to index events from FB/MySpace, and have members be able to pick a city and date to see all artists that have announced that they'll be playing there that day. Or index Twitter/Facebook posts and have the last 5/10 displayed directly on their artist profiles or in our homepage for your subscribed artists, etc. This might be a pretty big undertaking because all the data may not be in a standard format, but it's definitely not impossible. I still want to make this place more polished before I start taking on another huge project :)

Sounds pretty damn good mate. Hats off and thanks for the work. 8)

Re: [ms] DJ Database

Wow, just found this thread. Thanks to all involved in bringing this togetha (though I've already thanked the two most [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=368"]worthy[/url] parties elsewhere ;)). If I can make a recommendation, I see some artist pages that could use an updated URL or genre addition...can approved contributors (like those who have submitted valid artists/DJs) be allowed to update any ole' entry, as opposed to only the ones they've added?

#1470708Post 300 of 352

Re: [ms] DJ Database

I've been planning on this for a while... where anybody with > ~500 posts or so can update all artists. I just need to make it happen :D

I'll try to work on it this week!

this is pretty cool but I don't think I'm going to stick with it

Re: [ms] DJ Database

^^^^ wow

took a fair time for the top 250 to load

the full wack would be longtime!

#1471208Post 303 of 352

Re: [ms] DJ Database

I can cache it so it's quicker. I may keep it if I can settle up on the design

#1471413Post 304 of 352

Re: [ms] DJ Database

This is certainly a good direction with the thumbnails instead of names only.

#1474989Post 305 of 352

Re: [ms] DJ Database

Looks really nice imo. Did you tweak it a bit since yesterday? The text looks a little more legible, but still not so great on the lighter images. Why not just have text with a nice css shadow over images? (the answer is because it doesn't work in IE ;))

#1476289Post 306 of 352

Re: [ms] DJ Database

I have tweaked it a few times but I'm still not sure what I want to do about it. It just doesn't feel right...

I also just adjusted the recommended artists query a bit. This recommendation query just gets better and better each time I touch it :o:

I also added code to recommend more artists to you if you subscribe to an artist. I wanted to enable those who go on a subscribing frenzy to find another artist they like immediately after subscribing to someone they like.

#1476315Post 307 of 352

Re: [ms] DJ Database

I preferred it with names only Adam i think. Seems less clear and less defined now imo.

It just recommended Daft Punk to me. They're fucking French! Back to the drawing board mr monkey :lol:

#1476372Post 308 of 352

Re: [ms] DJ Database

:lol:

It recommends based on what other like-minded members are subscribing to. You must like a bunch of other crap for it to recommend more crap to you :lol:

I just added new functionality that automatically tags the last 2 years worth of threads for an artist when a new artist is created.
