i've had this idea a while ago but never really got around to posting about it

i love the entry browser feature for botbr profiles, being able to filter formats, score, plays and so on and most importantly having a nice button to pop up a radio playlist with all the entries in there, it's a great innovation! it also speeds up the loading of the botbr entries page which used to take forever for anyone over 200 entries or so. the only thing we're lacking from a complete implementation would be pagination, mostly for botbrs who have more than 500 entries, in most cases you can work around it.

i like to listen to my favs list from time to time and i think it would be pretty neat to be able to filter through it, say if i want to listen to all the adlib entries in my favs list for example, would be kinda cool. i don't know how modular the entry browser system is for profiles but since most of the code is already there then i would imagine it wouldn't be too hard to do? an added bonus would be that favs wouldn't cause the site to freeze for a while, at least not quite as much as they might do now (if the old entry list struggled with a few hundred entries then it must struggle with over 10 thousand heh...)

this is just an idea i had, let me know what you think if you have any thought-of thoughts!

this is somewhere in the pipeline already but i forgot

you're right, it shouldn't be that difficult

...only requires one level extra of db query fu
...and probably a bit of layout work

haha, I think this is along the lines of something I was starting to user-script - creating toggles for formats, targeting entries based on their icon class names and showing/hiding elements.

Not used to being on a website with a developer who actually cares and is just as into the site as the rest of the community. This is a refreshing change, even if the feature is "Coming Soon™"
