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)

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::
