Filter support requests by [tag]

[afuna_archive]

aveleh, damn you for putting the idea in my head. Was bored in the car while running errands, so I ended up working on the script you asked me to do. I think this does what you wanted (possibly with a few additions).

Right now, you can hide all requests with a certain tag or view only those requests with a certain tag, and you can choose whether your filter is applied persistently (on a new pageload) or will go away once you close the tab.

User interface is rough, but I think it's self-explanatory, though I'd welcome suggestions to improve it. Can't handle filters like "entries|styles", and can't handle both an inclusive filter and an exclusive filter at the same time, but it should be enough for normal boardwork.

Tell me if I got your demands request wrong? ;-)

ETA:
Forgot the link to the script, but it's there now, as well as a brief explanation of what it actually does ;-)

Two things...

Firstly, you forgot a link to the script. :) (Unless that was intentional?)

Also, why not just sort the board by subject? That's what Abe does in Issues if he wants to take a look at all the reqs of a certain tag. :D

Forgot the link, but it should be there now.

And the point is to be able to ignore requests with certain tags (such as [ru]), while still keeping it in the normal order so we can choose to work on older requests first/newer requests first/middle requests first/wherever we want ;p

Fair enough!

[aveleh]

Yup. I wanted to see the board *exactly* how I normally see it, except not to have to keep on seeing the [ru] requests that I'm not at all equipped to answer. It's disheartening; everything else I have a chance at if I just spend enough time with it. Russian - a little bit more time than that :D

Aka, Abby makes jokes and Afuna produces :D She's a sweetheart that one.

*grin*

(It's funny, but I just realized I've been wanting this forever, even though I didn't figure out that I wanted it until you made a joke about it. <3)

[afuna]

PS PS! Anything you want me to improve? I'll be adding it to the blurb of the site soon :D

[aveleh]

Yes. Why are you not online? And why did I forget to open IRC to look for you as well?

[afuna]

I have to run out :( More errands/standing in line to do!

[aveleh]

:( That's okay, I can't get on IRC anyway, I have now discovered. And am going to bed in 5 minutes.

Later! ::hugs::

*kiss*

Good night Abby dear!

[afuna]

PS. SLAVE DRIVER.

[aveleh]

p.s., right at this minute, this script is so exceptionally awesome.

[afuna]

Hee. What is so special about things right at this minute? Or that mi nute?

[aveleh]

18 million [ru] and [sup] requests.

Ooh, this works so great for public support that I have ideas about how to use it in Abuse Prevention too. But the requests over there are tagged differently. We use parentheses rather than square brackets. Do you think you could add an extra button that would say "filter by (tag)"? It would be so much <3

Edit: Thank you so much :D It works perfectly!
