Did woots get lost on topics forever

Or you have database with all woots?
Also why did you even remove wooting
What are you updating exactly

Re: Did woots get lost on topics forever

Woots are fine, they're temporarily disabled until after finals week when I can actually sit down and work on it instead of tossing a few minutes at it here and there.

Re: Did woots get lost on topics forever

^ your finals week or my finals week?

in all seriousness, thanks for the down-to-business response. Is there something that actually broke that would otherwise necessitate the disabling for a week? seems some detail is missing

Re: Did woots get lost on topics forever

Current woot system is being reworked on. The main benefits will consist of:
- Ability to find/filter posts by woots (for example you can display only wooted posts or posts that you wooted)
- Get a list of posts wooted by an user (If requested, could be sorted by time of woot instead of time of post)
- Woots will display your current username even after name changes
- Get quickly woot stats (total amount of woots, number of woots given for a user, number of woots received for a user, and any combination of woot+other stat, like average woot/post and stuff like that)

Re: Did woots get lost on topics forever

that's an intense setup

1) src?
2) somewhere (@ diff) you mentioned increased load/wait time or something like that. y'know, adding the extra query. is that not such a problem? has something changed to mitigate it?
not to talk your ear off, just genuinely curious about dbing.
3 [edit]) thanks for the reply 2 btw

1) I exported the woots in a database, and am helping diff with the woot system. The points I listed above may not be all implemented, but it would certainly be possible from the new system (currently, it would require a huge amount of resources)
2) The query time, I believe will actually be lower than having to deserialize and reseralize woots. Currently, the woots for a post are stored in an array-like string. It has to be converted back to an array, then edited to add/remove a woot, then again rebuilt into a string.
EDIT: Also, when done right, querying stuff from a DB doesn't take much time. (I may not be a veteran PHP coder, but this is a simple request, and I know it will not be ressource-intensive).
