Hello,

Some updates/modifications on the site :

1/ I have removed the rating thing, finally I was not fan of it, and done some cosmetic modifitions.

2/ I have filled the base with records of add-ons I have found here and there (thx selden for your site which was a big help doing this).

Maybe one of your add-on is on this list. You are still very welcome to register your add-ons and site. In case I woukd have already created a record for one of your add-on, you can retrieve it in your list thanks to a tranfer feature. You'll then be able to do what you want with it !

3/ I have done (and will update it it on regular basis) a backup of the add-ons and site database lists in CVS format at this adress http://mapage.noos.fr/celestia. Feel free to use it.


bye

A problem: I just noticed that the "tip" says that keywords must be more than 3 characters long.

How do I search for addons related to Io ?

The result of the search for Io says it didn't find anything, but I don't know if that's because there are none or if it ignored the request. If there is a length restriction, then it needs to generate an error message when it is violated.

Selden,

IO ? you can't seach for it. We must change its name until mysql 4.1 is released ! :lol: The fulltext search with mysql 3.x is very limited.

But your are right and i'll try to make something to advertise people that the search is not correct. In fact I thaught that in this case the word was ignored but it's not the case.

thx for your feed back.

Why dont you use 4.0.13?
In Mysql 4.0.13 the default minimum word length for a full text search is 4. This value can be changed though you will need to rebuild the fulltext index.

hello everybody,

So tomorow it is august and august means hollydays in France ! 8) This also means I will not update the database because i'll be on hollyday myself as i am french (something logical here :lol: )

The site is up to date right now but i know it will not be in 3 weeks. The point is that if you, Creators, want to update the database with your new creation, I remind you it's possible (I don't know why but I am not very optimistic on this one :lol: ). For those who would ask themself how much usefull it is to do it, in 1 month there was 754 visitors and 2574 queries were performed ...

bye

8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
