Hi! First, I'd like to say thank you for the work that has already been done at PeakD.
Second, I'd like to ask you to change/make the Blog filter system (tags) more useful.
I have 2 points in my wishes, and I apologize in advance for the large amount of text, but I could not explain my thought more shortly, although I tried.
- Now I don't understand how it works and how it displays tags and numbers near them. Look at the screenshot. Being on my profile page, it shows such numbers of posts by tags (without touching now on the list of tags itself, we first look at the numbers):
This is a bit strange, I think: do I really have only 5 posts with the tag "russia"? I click on it to filter out those posts that have this tag. Great, it filtered it out (although it's not too noticeable, it would be better to make some kind of brighter selection than a slightly grayer background under the tag, now it's barely noticeable). But I see that all the numbers have changed, so near tag "russia" it shows number 8.
Okay, but I still don't believe that there are only 8 of them in my blog. I start scrolling the page. New posts load, and eventually I stop somewhere at the very beginning of my blog. Well, surely they are not 5 or 8. I go back to the top of the page, and I see third numbers in the blog filters, incl. by tag "russia" it now shows 44 posts. Now this is more like the truth.
The question is: why not display the correct numbers for tags all over the blog at once? This concerns the display of the filter and when I look at the pages of other users, not only when viewing my blog. It would be convenient to see, for example, the most popular tags by number in the blog filter list.
- The second question concerns tags of the blog filter list. There are 15 tags, how are they were chosen? Are these the most frequent in this entire blog? This is definitely not the case. And it would be nice if with the correct numbers of tags throughout the blog, this list would display exactly the most frequent 15 and in addition there would be a button / link leading to a separate page, where a list of all tags (with numbers) that occur in this blog would be displayed. For example, I have a fairly large number of posts tagged with "chile". I would like to be able to go somewhere where I could see a selection of my posts with this particular tag. I do not have this tag in the existing blog filter list, then I can't do it.
I need this in order, for example, to see what I have already published here from posts and photos from Chile, so that I don’t have to post it again in the future. But manually scroll through my entire blog to the very beginning to find all Chilean posts are quite tiresome.
If suddenly I have not figured out how the filter blog works and some of this features already exists or the filter use another logics - tell me, please.
Yes it filters based on what is loaded so if you scroll down it loads more posts and therefore has more to filter. There isn't presently a way a solution to this on HiveMind... meaning there is no way to load a users perhaps thousands of posts and then filter them all.
However perhaps there is a solution using Hive SQL and @asgarth is just now starting to look into solutions with hive sql since it was recently made available to everyone.
Okay, got it.
Hope it will be possible to find a solution using SQL. Thank you!
Hey, thanks for reporting this. I don't think this will work well if not provided directly by Hivemind (the official 2nd layer backend for the social part of the chain).
But meanwhile I'll do a small change in the next release so it's easier to understand what's going on :D
Oh yeah. With this change it will at least be clear what we see here :)
Thanks for working on this anyway.
