Re: Feature Request
I think a either a countdown timer or just a "time of last request" on either the request page or the "rejected because it hasn't been an hour yet" page would be a nice addition.

Playlists and Requests
I know that telling what tracks are in the queue is against "da rulez", but perhaps ordering the upcoming artists in play sequence is allowed rather than the current alphabetical view.

Re: Playlists and Requests

1. The user can only request once per hours. This is enforced by IP address and a lookup in the database. This is one of the few nearly sure bets when it comes to request. Of course, we all know that the IP issue can be circumvented. I will, in time, get to having this be based on username now that it is incorporated into the database. Out of the mayhem that was that abusive over-requester has come some good things. 2. Once you have made a request, the only sure thing is that you won't hear it within the hour of your requesting it. Let me explain with an example. When it comes to requests, you can think of it as 2 queues. One I will call the Request Queue and the other is the Pending Queue. There is also a History Queue this the top entry being the item currently playing. History Queue ELP - Lucky Man Gentle Giant - Alucard ... ... ... ... ... Pending Queue Yes - Heart Of The Sunrise GYBE - who cares Pink Floyd - Julia Dream Request Queue Yes - Close To The Edge Pink FLoyd - Pow R. Toc H. Genesis - Firth of Fifth ELP - Karn Evil #9 King Crimson - Epitaph Assume that no Genesis, Yes or Pink FLoyd has played recently. Here is what will happen. SAM has taken the three tracks from the Request Queue (Yes, GYBE, and Pink Floyd) or has selected a track from the library. Since none of these has played in recent history, other users can request Yes, Pink Floyd and Genesis. They cannot request any more ELP because it is NOW in the History Queue. Requests for an ELP will return "artist has recently played". Since Yes, Pink Floyd and Genesis are in the Pending Queue, SAM will not promote the requested Yes, Genesis, or Pink Floyd tracks anytime soon. What track will be next? Assuming that King Crimson has not played in recent history, SAM will likely put Epitaph in the Pending Request queue once the hour wait time has been exhausted. So, what you are asking for is impossible. When you look on the Web Site and see the coming up list, what you see is the top 2 entries of the Pending Queue. The only thing that is a sure bet is the Pending QUeue but we are restricted in showing that. The requests page collates artists in the request queue alphabetically. I could ORDER that queue by requested time but, if you understand the simple scenario outlined above, you will see that that too has no real relevance on what will play and in what order. FYI, I will make this a FAQ item too.

Joomla does have a Gallery function. I've not looked at it. If people want a new gallery, the first thing I will need is something to post in it (ie. your photos). Quote:
My question is where to display it. I think it should go in the FAQ but that is just my personal opinion and we can't have any of that around here now can we? Quote:
I have been in that member list code. I would like to have members shown by status... (eg, Members, Patrons, Admin). I've already added the Admin. I need to look at the forum database some more to get at the patron status. Oh joy, a list of programming tasks!

Re: Feature Request
A few things...
Any reduction of redundancy is welcome. I addition to what Lotus mentioned, there are a few more stale items on the page...just blow them away...(actually just looking it looks like you have...that's good) My opinion would be to farm out the Gallery, like the news is done with Mortis. I'm not a big fan of the member status. Just more clutter. The user name should be enough.... About the request queue...also the shows can throw that off also. The queue looks good as it is.

Avian did, IMHO, a nice job of getting a lot of information on the main page without making it too busy. I've been trying to add more without debasing Avian's original design. Hence, things like the scrolling history. Quote:

The one admin page I recently put together shows this clearly. Perhaps, on Thursday, I will capture one such page and show all in this thread. I'll blank out usernames but you'll get a better understanding since the page shows requests in terms of their request history (request time-stamp).

Re: Feature Request
That's the problem with AJAX (the A is for Asynchronous). I'd like to think about this and see if it is possible to have the update keep in step with users as they sign-on. If I can get the time set on the streaming server, I can handle the "ON THE AIR" refresh much better. That's won't help the member list though.

The color coding is a nice touch. For me at least, the 24 hour history coupled with the what's up next works just fine. Sounds like a Thursday theme...."A place in the queue".. |

Re: Feature Request
Yeah, 1 or 2.
The idea is to convey information without making the page busy. I can cite plenty of bad examples of that -- like most of the pages on MyWaste.com. In addition, it should be easy to find info. My fave example, see how long it will take you to find my name in links on HP's OpenVMS pages ( http://hp.com/go/OpenVMS/ ). No cheating with Google! Quote:
You've heard it folks... Rick has called the theme!

FWIW, while I didn't understand the exact method used for managing the queue, I kinda got a sense for how it worked. Just showing the relative ordering of the request queue by request time itself is a gross enough cut and is what my original request was based on. The whole purpose of this really is about time management and to get a high level sense of when one's request will get played in the next 60-90 minutes. (Even here there is a great amount of imprecision because it only takes a few 26 min plus long songs to mess you up.) Thanks for listening, Carl |

Also, since it is only a list of artists in the request queue, it's does seem easier to scan the list alphabetically.

Re: Feature Request
I don't believe those will do justice. Miniscule-n-flaccid's abhorrent abomination referred to as Internet Exploiter is so gruesomely hideous that the aftermath of gouging one's eyes out with a power auger would be an obsequious spectacle tantamount to IE's deplorable shitiness.
