Feedback on Bio Tool

[Maso]

I like it. Wouldn't it be better under Community Resources though? As it's less a 'helpfile' or 'information' thing?

[Dusky]

Hands down I think this is one of the most awesome coded solutions I've seen for the mud so far.  Great job!

Yep, but I don't have access to that machine.   Things will change when Arm 2.0 rolls out anyway.

[Maso]

I look forward to it!

Belenos,

You post-dated your update note on that page by a month.  It says it was last updated on September 17, 2007.

Unfortunately, like the request tool, I can't use this new bio tool either. A combination of things on my end prevents it from working for me.

I'm glad it's working out for everyone else though, and it sounds like a really excellent addition.

[jhunter]

So cool.

Fucking sweet.

[Seeker]

Hands down, deluxe.

Props and thanks.

Cuusardo:

2. You will only see entries from after the time that the biography command was implemented. Entries before that time do not have the needed XML formatted files.

Is that possibly why you're not seeing all of them?

Hmm, probably.  I couldn't remember when the bio command went in, so I thought I should've had more characters listed there.

My very first pc had it, and that was around June or July of 2005, give a month or two, cause I remember when it was implemented so it wasn't before my first pc.

Feel free to contact me on this if you want.  There is a bit of common code between the request tool and the biography viewer.  My initial suspicion is that you don't have cookies enabled.  Without being able to store a session ID cookie, the system will never know you've logged in.

It's a combination of things. Mostly it's my browser settings; no third-party cookies. Because I use a proxy to access the web, the proxy site is considered the "first party" and zalanthas.org is considered the "second" party. The request tool is a third party, so no go. I can't allow third-party cookies for security reasons. It really isn't a big deal, because the Armageddon staff has been helpful and understanding in the past and I try not to make many requests that require personal attention.

I appreciate your willingness to take a look, but I assure you it is on my end, and there is nothing I am able to do to change it.

Thanks once again!

Hmm needs to check dis out.

Lizzie, quit playing from work!!

[mansa]

I don't know if this was answered, but;

Do you have any plans for making the tool display other things specific to each character?  Keywords, clans, or stats, for instance?

Also, can we get the date that the bio entry was added?   I know it shows up when you type 'bio', but can it also show up in the bio viewer page?

Thanks!

Also when Arm 2 goes up are we still going to have access to this or should we be backing up the3 info right now?

[spawnloser]

From a web-design point of view... is it possible to get 'back' functionality?

[Belenos]

There will be enhancements on the tool over time, within the limits of what is doable.  I would suspect also that we will allow you access to your Arm 1.0 characters when 2.0 goes live, although none of that has been discussed at all.
