Also another api idea, which may have been had before but not implemented.
an image showing your latest friends name.

Also, how would we work out who should have an advert?

well you can't give everyone an advert so how will you work out who gets the adverts?

I can, but I want people to be able to choose ANY message they want for the message. http://www.blocks.scratchr.org/API.php? … _be_typed!

OK.

Right, I LOVE the "lowest loves" or "lowest views" API Idea. I can add the name, link and thumb to action=projects&type=
leastViews
leastLoves
leastFaves
&return =
link
image
text

My main worry is comparing all the projects of a user could be slow, and potentially increase forum page loading time, especially if the user has a LOT of projects.

As for adverts, I was a little confused by your explaination, the way I see it, people can link to a page with an advert on it anyway?

Yes Rum, I will be adding text returns to all current API's now that they work, so that's newest friend name(s), custom online/offline text (implemented but for some reason broken), newest project name(s) and random text.

Any replies to your emails?

Sounds good smile
and yes I was confused about the ads thing aswell.
I was thinking about it and the only useful way of doing it is that a load of people would have to put the same code in there sig and people could somehow be chosen to feature in an ad and it would be like unofficial featuring. People would have to submit an ad image for there project and someone would decide which ones would be in the ad it would be like the rota-sig

sparks · 2011-07-23 14:39:43

Sep, I commented on the same project about that smile

Rum, I don't see why someone would be willing to advertise a random ad in their sig in turn for seeing their own ad there sometimes too when they can just advertise themselves. They might be pulled in by seeing their project advertised by others' sigs but there's no way of telling if someone drops out other than direct moderating or using MySQL, in which case it's not an API anymore.

How are you doing with the case-insensitivity?
You can just use Scratch's equals block for that. tongue JK, but it is not case sensitive, which is sometimes annoying.

It is annoying! And making it case-sensitive isn't even hard!

Code:

^ t1 = t2.

(or something, my smalltalk is being corrupted by php tongue )

Maybe the Scratch team thought it would be less confusing to people?

Anyway, I suppose I can do the case insensitivity thing now, it's just going to need a lot of reworking the code.

hmmm... yeah but it is nice to just be able to see an ad straight on the forums...

sparks · 2011-07-23 16:53:36

Okay, case insensitivity took a lot of time but it's done, thank sky for find and replace!

The following attributes are still case sensitive due to their potential need for capitals:
online
offline
link 1-10
string

paulpsicle · 2011-07-23 16:54:52

Can you fix the Content-Type header?

sparks · 2011-07-23 16:56:07

What's the problem?

sparks · 2011-07-23 17:30:22

Wow. The API just DIED when I tried adding project love-it return... Will try again tomorrow.

RUMCHEERYPOOPOO · 2011-07-23 17:52:57

lol

sparks · 2011-07-23 18:31:54

My first project, , has love-it's.
My second project, , has love-it's.
My third project, , has love-it's.
My fourth project, , has love-it's.

To get the love it's of your n'th newest project:

Code:

IDEA big_smile

Have a block render with either the blockspec code, or something like it.

So the byob block editor that gives you blockspec when you are done?

Or maybe asUppercase... I honestly don't know where the code for those is. tongue
Remember, the Squeak equals operator is case sensitive (I made a block that uses that) but the Scratch one is not. ;P
