Request: More freetexts

Re: Request: More freetexts
#41Added a couple things. Not as much as was mentioned but there are now more available options to viewing the freetext.
I thought I understood what you were saying, Pariah...and I might have when I first read it. But now I am not sure. I need a little clarification of the vision. Thanks! -
Re: Request: More freetexts
#42Whoa... the page looks kinda smaller now that we can skip the single-sub-freetexts.
The list: sorting by alphabet, and link count are both cool. I think this is the place where the 1's should be mainly present - optionally, let's say. Due to the length, it should be divided into two (or three) columns or something.
Oh, and yes: both, the cloud and the list have to be interlinked as well.
More thoughts on this later. -
Re: Request: More freetexts
#43Clarify time...
What I want to see is the catagories get included in the freetext, and also be able to click on a freetext and not only see what submissions share that particular freetext, but also what other freetexts submissions that have that freetext also have. What I'd like, would be if, when I clicked on one freetext, on top of the list that I get of submissions that have that freetext I also got a small list or cloud of other freetexts that those submissions had.
Take 2...
I want to have the diffenent categories and subcategories included in the freetext links. Not because I feel our freetext cloud needs to be bigger, but because it'd be what makes this next part really nifty.
I also want to be able to click on one freetext in the cloud, and see not only the subs that have this freetext, but also the freetexts that share subs with this freetext. An example...
manfred's Worlds and Planets is a "Location" a "World" and an "Any," it also had the tags "Space" and "Science Fiction."* Now, I'm looking for a "Location" in "Space" so I click on one of those two freetexts in the cloud, and then on the other one when I get to the first one's list, so now I'm looking at all the submissions that share 2 things now, as well as any freetexts that submissions that share those two have as well. Right now, under those two, the only things my dreampage would list would be the tags "World," "Any," and "Science Fiction".
I picked that particular sub to provide an easy example of what I wanted, but it'd also work for other things as well, such as with our "Swamp" subcategory, which is shared by 3 different categories; Locations, Lifeforms, and Dungeons. If I just wanted to look at the different stuff we have that's swamp related I could click on the "Swamp" tag in the freetext cloud and be teleported to a nifty list of all 36 different submissions that have that subcategory/tag.
*These two freetexts should probably be merged, being as there seems to be a noticable overlap between the two. -
Re: Request: More freetexts
#44I did as manfred requested with the freetext. Added the extra links and broke the list into columns.
===============
It took me a couple readings with Pariah's list but I do now understand.
I will have to think on that as it will require some extra stuff, but I do see that as a very good idea indeed! -
Re: Request: More freetexts
#45It would be nice if people could add freetexts to other people's subs. It would also be good to have someone consolidating/pruning some of the freetexts to make them more useful. -
Re: Request: More freetexts
#46All the admins should have that ability. If you see a few feel free to start a thread in ideas/suggestions and somebody will update the submissions!
I know a few admins did do that already, but they have so many things they end up doing it depends on their mood and what the feel like messing with. It is a lot of work to go through submissions and recategorize and/or update and they do an awesome job. I, on the other hand, do a very crappy job of keeping track of that stuff.
