  Re: New Lego Guide Look
 
(...) What if you count the records, and if there's more than say 20 (replace with number of your choice) in any category, use the links, otherwise display them all. ROSCO (24 years ago, 9-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: New Lego Guide Look
 
I think it's a good idea. But to keep everyone happy you can maybe set a preference in user profiles, so people can choose wether to get the links or the whole bunch in one go. Duq "Todd Lehman" <lehman@javanet.com> wrote in message (...) (24 years ago, 8-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Member details in set database moved to subpages
 
(...) what if we go about it the other way - instead of dynamiclly generating the pages for each hit, regenerate the pages with a rotating list, nice'ed down so it won't be a lot of load... it can check before it starts for a page to see if it needs (...)

  4801/4811 Defense Archer
 
4801/4811 Defense Archer...these are the same set inside the packaging. (I believe, IIRC, that 4811 is the polybag version.) 4811 has a piece count in the database, but 4801 does not. Both are 14 pieces. (24 years ago, 8-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database)

  Re: New Lego Guide Look
 
(...) That was actually the first place I discovered the bottleneck -- even on a single page. I'm talking a difference of 0.15 seconds vs. 0.80 seconds in some cases (only to get worse as things grow). And it was 10 times worse on the (...) (24 years ago, 8-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Member details in set database moved to subpages
 
(...) True, but it helps reduce it. Only logged-in members of LUGNET would see personal data on the Guide pages, and even then only if their preference is toggled to show such. So the question is: of the total hits on the Guide, what percentage come (...) (24 years ago, 8-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Member details in set database moved to subpages
 
(...) Nod, one thing maybe would be to simply make the set's title be a link back to the set view, but better yet might be to make the secondary yellow bar at the top work like this?-- LEGO > SYSTEM > Star Wars > Episode I > 7117 Jar-Jar's Debacle (...)

  Re: Member details in set database moved to subpages
 
(...) I think maybe "separately" referred to being on a separate page a la new system. And "used to be" may refer to the extra blank lines between comments - I don't remember ever seeing all that white space in the previous incarnation, and I think (...)

  Re: New Lego Guide Look
 
(...) How about if the search returns a single set the stuff displays on the same page, otherwise you get links? ROSCO (24 years ago, 8-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database)

(...) Did that last night; forgot to post about it this morning. --Todd (24 years ago, 8-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Member details in set database moved to subpages
 
(...) I can do that. (...) I'm not sure what you mean here by "used to be" and "separately." (...) Maybe it can swing back to that if I move things to a faster box and if not everyone selects the always-display option. :) --Todd (24 years ago, 7-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Member details in set database moved to subpages
 
(...) I would like to express my preference for this solution as well, with the "my info" part repeated at the top, and maybe with a link to go back (although I'm not clear why the back button isn't good enough for that, it's faster if the page (...)

  Re: New Lego Guide Look
 
(...) Actually, I think this is a good compromise for those features. I don't always need those references, but if I want them, there they are ready for use. Moreover, some of the Notes were somewhat silly -- and if that feature (in particular) was (...) (24 years ago, 7-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Member details in set database moved to subpages
 
(...) Coincidental this should come up. I've just started using the Opera browser on a PC, and was dismayed to see that the Guide pages showed up as really, really wide - the lists of members' names weren't wrapping to the screen, so the notes and (...)

  Re: Member details in set database moved to subpages
 
(...) oh, being QA, I have to mention... :) there's no way right now to get back to the set info, from any of the subpages... All in all, I didn't mind seeing everything there, but I do understand issues like server load and some comments... :/ (...) (24 years ago, 7-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Member details in set database moved to subpages
 
I personally would like the 4 sub pages on a single page. Formatted the way it used to be, just separately. (I actually liked the cookies idea best, so i could have the option, but i'll settle for the above :) ) 4 pages is not "at a glance". (...) (24 years ago, 7-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Member details in set database moved to subpages
 
(...) Still leaves a bottleneck, unfortunately. (...) You mean repeating the "My Collection" box in the sub-page(s)? Or glomming the four sub-pages into a single sub-page? --Todd (24 years ago, 7-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Member details in set database moved to subpages
 
(...) Back when the personal set data was first introduced to the Guide, Todd and I had discussed that very idea: (URL) to point 3). How about this idea?: If someone is a LUGNET member and are logged into LUGNET, they can toggle a setting that (...) (24 years ago, 7-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: New Lego Guide Look
 
(...) (URL) a CPU and bandwidth issue. In the extreme, some of the sets contain over 100 entries and the numbers are always going up. I thought about doing some kind of cutoff but I don't know how fair that would be. --Todd (24 years ago, 7-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.database)
