Request scrolling - Repeat plea

[Rick and Roll]

I'm begging someone to use their programming acumen to help us enable the ability to see all of the songs available for request.

This is a common complaint, and personally I feel this is a major contributor to hearing the same songs constantly.

The issue of course is that after selecting an artist or a letter, the request screen scrolls back to page one when hitting "next page".

I like the rq free Wed, but the free rq times should have all of the library available.

I (and many others) have mentioned this before. If it is possible, a fix would make a lot of listeners happy.

If it can't be done, fine. I'm not game to discuss the merits of it, just if it can be corrected.

Thanks!

Rick - Jimbo has cast himself over the secrets of php to solve this animosity - so he says, although reports state he's slurping the sun somewhere unkown just now :D

it's rather difficult to trick it into the next page too...bonked my brain with that one, as i never like technology to get the best of me.

seems it use to work once upon a time...i recall scrolling through to request songs i didnt know.

I really like that quote...is it from anywhere?

And is Alas Poda related?

Jim is mystified by php - the code looks OK to me, so it maybe in the mySQL database scripting, which is even a bigger reach for me - but I'm still trying...

Gents,

Just trying to help from afar... and maybe with code in front, you can use this trick to help you debug...

I entered a search string ("gentle" naturally) and hit "Go". I get the 1st 50 of the Gentle Giant cataog. I right-click on the "Next>" link and my browser (Galeon) lets me copy the link to the clipboard. For example:

http://www.auralmoon.com/html/pnplaylist.php?start=50&limit=50&letter=&search=gentle&begins_with=Any&search_by=Any

I paste it in the browser location space, and start noodling with the parms being passed to the PHP.

It's _almost_ like it ignores everything but the "start=" value. If you make it "5", it still goes back to the head of the DB, and you get the 5th title from the start of the whole DB. (a 4Front title). This happens too if you drop out the search string of "gentle". You get the same thing with a start letter, like "K":

http://www.auralmoon.com/html/pnplaylist.php?start=5&limit=50&letter=&search=&begins_with=K&search_by=Any

I'm sure you guys are digging as deep as you can, but thought this _might_ shed some new light... Good luck!

that's pretty good debugging from afar, but we've gotten that far. Still can't make it work. As I said in my last post, I think there's a combination of problems in php and the mySQL calls, but it's not readily apparent. We haven't given up, but not spending a lot of time on this issue now. If there are any php/SQL experts out there that want to volunteer, we'd accept the help...

it is fixed! Hurrah to unter!
