: ta-da!

I've added the category and the minions who have rift in their names (they were pretty obvious!) If y'all know of other minions that fit the category, go ahead and tag them.

Good catch Thanks for doing it

Thanks!

Someone made a thread in bragging and complaining about wearable animal figures that would never be "minions" - one of the example a rift figure. So I went to subetaLodge to take a look at rift minions and saw there was no category.

Osterizer added it last n ight and added the rift minions to it. It shows up for me.Maybe you need to clear your cache?

No its fine, I saw the new info. Just explaining what led me to notice the issue in the first place :).

OOOOOOH!

Just wanted to let you know I only have access to internet on my phone for the next week, maybe two. ugh! We are moving next weekend, which ios a really good thing, but with things being turned off and on and all that. Well, you know.

Could someone please add the loot from Fantine? Can't do it on my phone.

: on it.

thanks!

I hope the move goes smoothly ❤️

thank you! Still tons of p;acking to do and all that []s]terrible[/s] great stuff~!

(and everyone else):

Y'all are invited to beta-test the New Mass Add Page. This is for adding items to checklists (i.e., for regular users), not for adding items to the database. You can add to most checklists from this form -- wardrobe is an exception (and minions if you have a custom checklist for them). I'll be adding those in a few days.

This is a complete rewrite of the mass-add code, so there are likely to be some glitches.

Here's the backstory, if you're interested: The old mass-add script had hardcoded rules for each kind of page it could work with, and whenever Subeta changed the layout of the pages, the script would break on our end, because their page didn't match what we had hardcoded.

This new code uses a templating system. We have to tell the script where to find the items for each page (for example, the Beanbag instructions are basically, "skip the Hustler banner at the top of the page, and the Oracle widget in the sidebar, and start looking underneath the words 'Your Collection Prizes High Score Game Room'"), but we don't have to specify the entire layout of the page like we did before.

Three advantages for us (well, me specifically, but for the site in general):

1. It will be easier for us to keep up with changes that Subeta makes in their page layouts.
2. When they make a change that breaks the mass-add functionality, we have better behind-the-scenes tools to find out exactly what part of the process broke.
3. We'll be able to automate some things we couldn't before. (Imagine only having to paste the first page of a multipage collection! We're not there yet, but we're very close.)

okay. WOW. When I asked you to try to clean up the mass add page I didn't even know to dream up something like this! Very nice work!

Still packing but I did a quick try here. A few things immediately come to mind:

1. After putting in the source code from one page of a books read (was this the correct thing to do or should I have done all the pages?) I was unsure what to do. There was no submit button immediately evident. I hit enter on my keyboard and, of course, it just added a blank line at the end of my code. Then suddenly I had the underneath part show up, not sure how that happened, if I did something to make it happen or it did it by itself.

2. There is no choice for the pet the books were actually read to. Only my main pet was listed. I have collections for 3 pets.

3. Is there a way to get rid of the + in the name of pets with spaces in their names?

However, it is going to be GREAT!!

The next step happens automatically after you paste your code. I've put in a message to make that clearer.

Both of these should now be fixed.

edit: The testing page is 'public' in the sense that regular users can use it if they can find it -- but it's not linked anywhere on SubetaLodge yet. If you know non-staff people who would make good beta testers and want to invite them to try out the page, feel free. I may do this myself sometime next week.

So this time it chose the correct pet book list and everything, which is great! However, lol, it gave me this message:

It really WAS books...

: Yup. That was something I screwed up. Should be fixed now.

THanks for the fix. love the list of items afterwards!

EDIT: Update books read for 2 pets without further issue

I just tested it with Derek's foods (29 pages hahahaha /dead) and it worked :)

are the admin logs recording our mass add on the new version as item edits?

: Nope. Here's where all tonight's log entries are coming from -- it's a change I made a few months back to help out with a project Lypsyl was working on.

Back when Amber was making consistent the various spellings among item names, and we were updating lists of items that had the same spellings (e.g. "Pony Tail -> Ponytail"), I made it so that if you performed an item search like:

https://www.subetalodge.org/list_all/search/milkshake/mode/name

and clicked on "edit item" for the first item, all the other items on the page would "queue up" to be edited behind them. (If you hover over the first "edit item" link, you'll see the long URL that has all the other item numbers in there.)

If you then click through the queue, even if you don't make any changes, the items in the queue get logged. That's what happened tonight.
