Yep, sorry about that. When trying to tighten up security, I managed to, ah, tighten it up a bit too much. Should be fixed now.
Me too. Alex says he's working on it :)
same here for about the last 24 hours
I've had that problem since this morning.
I would create a card for this, but, well... I can't make cards. I get an error whenever I try. It may be my laptop, so I'll try it on another device, but I thought I should say something.
Yeah, it would be nice to open up Multiverse for user contributions. I am indeed a bit wary of the overhead of managing patches, but I ought to give it a go.
BTW, Mandroid, one option for looking at a subset of your cardset is: in Firefox, the cardlist page supports multi-sorting. So sort by rarity, then colour, and all your green commons will be grouped together. It's really irritating that this only works in Firefox, but I haven't got around to debugging the third-party table library I'm using.
FWIW, I think it would be good if it were possible for other people to contribute stuff. I have't had time lately, but in principle it would be good to be able to say "How about blah, and here's a patch to do it" rather than "How about blah, though I know it's a lot of work." And that if you're ever not able to go on devoting time to Multiverse, it's easier for someone else to help out.
I wouldn't worry about the accessibility of the code: I think it's normal that people say "I really wish this was tidy, but unfortunately it's not; you're welcome to play with it if you want, but be warned, you may not want to" :)
Conversely, managing contributions to a project is a lot of work itself, so I think it's up to you whether you'd rather be coding yourself or managing patches :)
There is a "search whole site" option, linked from the top of every page. And yes, I do consider security, and I take care to sanitise my inputs already. (Multiverse is written in Ruby on Rails, which makes it very easy to do that.)
I'm glad you like the site :)
I think I could reasonably say that you shouldn't expect any formatting (which includes triple-bracket links) to work within \
Also if you click on your browser's options and view the source you will see this instead of the anchor tags:
Cockroach: A card that just won't die, and is annoying, but not strong enough to draw the ire of the other players at the table. <a name="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?type=card&amp;name=bloodghast" href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=+[%22Bloodghast%22]" class="wizardscard">Bloodghast</a>
[etc]
So I guess it's really just up to you to fix it.
Well honestly I'd be okay with that, since I've been working at my job recently assembling webpages which use PHP, JavaScript and HTML to render the site, which displays information drawn from MySQL databases, so I'd say as long as you're not doing things in a totally offbeat way I should be able to figure it out. Plus I'll comment out anything that I work through so it will be more useful later. Also it would be cool to be able to have a gatherer-like search function to browse all the cards in the site, but that would ultimately probably be way less useful to most users than the search functionality in the Visual Spoiler/Cardlist. Also, I dunno if you know anything about hacking but if you're going to implement a search function like Gatherer on this site you're going to have to sanitize your inputs or risk someone for whatever reason purging your databases/hacking your website. A potential solution is making sure that the login info is stored on a separate database than cards. I only know a little about security though, definitely not my specialty.
PS: This website is so damn cool.
Yeah, it is. I've got the code there for split cards and DFCs, which some parts of the codebase treat as "small landscape cards" and "big landscape cards" respectively. I think this is equivalent to a request for me to add frames for schemes and planes as frame options (and perhaps vanguards while I'm at it). There's actually a lot of graphical fluff around the borders of schemes (e.g. Behold the Power of Destruction) and fiddly curvy lines across planes (e.g. Bant). But if I accept I'm not going to bother with all the fiddly graphical bits, then I could add CSS versions of these easily enough. I probably should provide these as options, yeah, so this is a reasonable request.
As to the idea of contributing to the code: I appreciate the suggestion. I am set up to share Multiverse's code via Github, so it might be reasonable for people to propose changesets that way. I'm not sure my code is especially well documented or able to figure out... while I do try to follow good programming practices like DRY, I haven't exactly been writing it with a view to comprehensibility by others :-S
Hmm. Like applying the skeleton filters to the cardlist or visual spoiler. Makes sense.
That'd actually be really easy, now I come to think of it. Good suggestion - I'll probably work this into the next update.
Yikes. Reproduced. Looks like it's a problem with generating lines for gold cards. I'll get that fixed.
In the meantime you can generate it for mono and colourless cards, and then copypaste the gold card lines if you want.
Cardset #227, Convergence
Matrix: 8 5 3 0 10 2 1 0 2 2 10 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Hm. Seems to be working for me at the moment. Can you give me more reproduction steps? Which cardset, what numbers?
Mmm. Yeah. For a long time this was a feature which I knew would be nice but I was imagining would never happen, because the database space required is at least an order of magnitude greater than for Multiverse's current implementation. In particular, this would make my database size expand past the limit of Heroku's free hosting plan.
But that was quite a number of months ago. And, erm, the database is already four times the size that Heroku supposedly limit their free hosting plan to, and I haven't been charged or run up against any database size limits. So perhaps I could give this a try.
It's possible it might precipitate the inevitable move to paid-for hosting, at which point I probably would stick up a Paypal Donate button somewhere on the site. And I quite like not being at that state yet.
Yay!
Right, I've had another go at fixing this. The links on The Oncoming Storm have much nicer tooltips now.
should be fixed properly now
