Improvements for JDorama

Actually its just for the sake of spotting the more active users first.. or is alphabetical better?

I think active users should be first because there are people who make an account and abandon their accounts. Those who are dedicated should be placed first... :hehe: Just my two pennies... :mrgreen:

At first I was leaning to the alphabetical order, but this explaination makes sense and I agree with Mr. ChoyBoi's opinion.
No sense having a bunch of inactive user' names pop up at the beginning of the list. IMO

No sense in showing the inactive user's b-day's to begin with, ne? ;)

Ok, dochira's first on the list now for obvious reasons. :thumbsup:

hey bm, for now the only users deemed inactive are those who have been unverified for the past 3 months. Others remain in existence as there's always a chance that they'll come back some time later, though maybe never. But I'll leave the accounts there in case -- hardly costs anything anyway. Also, those users may be notified via email of any important JDorama.com announcements.

"For obvious reasons?" :hehe: :sweat: Thanks, I guess.... :beaten: :dancing:

Thanks, BMW. I wonder if such a thread will need to be created since the birthday section has been added. :crazy: And I found out that there are no artistes other than Tsuruta Mayu that share my birthday. But I already knew that. :sweat:

Here we have it.. the birthday thread!

Lets leave this thread back to JDorama.com's improvements. :)

Just wondering:

It would be nice to have a feature to search drama's by "viewership", since we already have the data in the dorama database, i guess upgrading the search queries to facilitate this feature should be manageable !!

for comparitively new people like me, i guess it is a good way to know about good dramas...

what do u think ??? :)

Sounds good. Unfortunately our database is very incomplete in terms of the viewership ratings. Hence, the search would be rather unfair and inaccurate. To the unknowing user, he/she may assume that the results show all the most popular dramas (which in fact, most will be unlisted).

this was suggested to handle image intensive pages for non-boradband people

Hmm, you may be onto something yt. But it would involve changing the way pages are displayed. Maybe there should be a way to change images into a text link for those who prefer to conserve bandwidth. If people have broadband, they have the option to turn on full images...

i think it was a good idea.

maybe if a paramater is added to the user profile page about viewing preference in terms of viewing images or not!

then on the display pages a script can basically shuffle between the code as to show the image or just the text link.... what do you think!!! ... for now it is just a wild thought.

I had attempted that before, but the code wasn't as straightforward as I thought. Could look at it again next time :)

cool. i will also see if i can come up with something. will let u know.

Here's my wacky, not well-thought out, idea: Is it possible to replace the "[img]" tag into "[url]" based on the value of a flag?

i guess so, a conditional flag based on user profile paramters can be used. but i dont know what type of coding is done on jdorama. but i am sure genma must have thought of this. must be something more complex

Yeah, if it was this simple, it would have been done by now. :sweat:

:shakehead: :banghead: me and guest posts .. always messing up together

Got a point there dochira. Just that there's additional processing involved. Best solution would to be able to intercept the BBCode parsing for IMG tags, and display them as < A HREF > IMG URL < / A > instead.

Haven't found that point in the code yet tho. :beaten:

I was thinking if we could have a search function for topics within each category? Coz sometimes, I want to search for a particular thread discussing a dorama but when I type in the dorama name, I get lots of topics which may mention the dorama but do not discuss the dorama in detail. It then becomes a huge chore ploughing through all the threads to get to the real topic that discusses the dorama in detail. The same applies to J-artistes too... :victory:

Under Search, there is a section called Search Query. Here you can refine your searches by choosing a particular forum, whether you want the topic or the posts displayed, and other criteria.
