Group: CiteULike-discussion - Forum Thread

Topic: Feature requests

[COMPLETED] Yay! Forum search is here...

Very cool to see that the forum is getting enhancements! I just spotted the new forum search. (Can suggestions be far behind? ;-))


1. Currently all the search results have this title:

     CiteULike: Group CiteULike-discussion

Can you customise it so that it shows the title of the post from which the snippet below is taken?


2. What is the small X next to the search button for? Clicking it doesn't do anything.


3. Another suggestion for the forums would be to have links to the three forums

     General Feature Requests Bug Reports

right at the top instead of having to click through to the specific forums.


4. There is some code leftover at the bottom of the forum page

     <% if {[regexp {/groupfunc/3124} [ns_conn url]]} { ns_puts [subst { }]

Done, but will need to wait for Google to re-index those pages

There's a tooltip clue. Do a search, then click it.

4. There is some code leftover....

Good call. Thanks.

Ah, it clears the results of the search. (Tooltip Clue: clear results).

Couple more suggestions for the forum:


1. Instead of showing all the updates to a particular thread, maybe the recent activity page could just show the latest post. So for June 29, the posts would just be:


2009-06-29

  • 15:52: thegoose posted a comment to forum thread [COMPLETED] Book Chapter Citation (Vancouver Style)
  • 09:34: thegoose posted a comment to forum thread CiteULike mangles author names.

Only the latest post in each thread would show up in the update page. It might reduce the clutter and make it easier to see what's going on.


2. Perhaps you could bold the new status messages in the title.

Or it could be like this:

If you search for "bibtex", only the first result shows the title of the post. The rest of them are still pretty generic.


Is there a way to save the searched string so that you can send search-links to people or link them in posts?


In the search results, the current highlight colour when you hover over links is a dark blue that completely masks the text underneath. Could you please change this when you get a chance?

No, but it's pretty much equivalent to

     +site:www.citeulike.org +"CiteULike-discussion" bibtex
