This is the wiki page for my (tlanthil) Herb:aList, a herb identification site, at http://tinyurl.com/69vapj
I'll post about changes and ideas for changes here.
If you have suggestions, comments, bug reports, etc, you can post here or contact me in-game. If you do want to post here, please consider adding a signature to your comment. Also, please don't edit other people's comments (including mine), just add your own comment on the topic after theirs
If there's interest, I can also post (and update) the output of my parser here, which pretty much says which herbs have an unknown method, which herbs from t3 haven't yet been recorded on the Foraging page (This is where I get as much info as possible from), and which herbs have a thumbnail size pic on that page, but no larger version
Current list of ideas:
- a preferences window: instead of using yes/no for selecting images or not, use a window for this and other options (like saving the thumbnail size, or having stats always visible).
- cookies: save preferences to a cookie if the user wants to (as in, the preferences window will attempt to set a cookie if the user says to, otherwise it'll stay with the simple URL stuff)
- access keys: something like how ctrl+i will toggle the menu on wiki pages
- a real form: currently there's no HTML form used, but if there was one and it submitted to the same page, stuff like firefox's "add a keyword for this search" could be used as a shortcut - Done. To use it manually, you can use ?name=something
- news: but with this page, it's probably not needed there
- translations: this shouldn't be too hard to add, I'd just need people to contribute the translations for everything for other languages
- compact filters: so instead of method, leaf type, stem type, etc having spaces between them, have them all close together like in the menus that pop out
- regexp support: So you could, for example, type in "^chiv", so the name has to start with 'chiv', and it won't show garlic chives
- do away with the dropdown of herb names, since typing in a fragment of the name is probably as fast (and more flexible)
- apply 'undo' to the name as well (which would apply when the 'direction' changes. As in, typing is going forwards, backspace is going backwards)
