browse pages are pretty much just for search engines

we shouldn't even link to them as prominently as we do :P

I thought so.

We don't even say "<release group> by <artist>".

somewhere I had some "code" that was basically just nuking half of the browse code to simplify it

we had to destroy the code to refactor it
2014-01-01 00132, 2014
nikki
I wasn't really refactoring it
2014-01-01 00140, 2014
nikki
I was literally just removing stuff :P
2014-01-01 00130, 2014
ianmcorvidae
those pages would probably benefit from being unstyled <ul>s of links instead of what they are
2014-01-01 00135, 2014
ianmcorvidae
so people stopped confusing them for a useful feature
2014-01-01 00152, 2014
ianmcorvidae
really, the way to Do It Right would be for us to start generating sitemaps
2014-01-01 00101, 2014
nikki
what I did was basically just remove all the filtering so it was just a paginated list
2014-01-01 00125, 2014
ianmcorvidae
that would also let us remove all the slightly insane page_index stuff
2014-01-01 00133, 2014

and I'd like something like my browseartists page which makes me swear at the webservice every time I have the stupid idea of trying to improve it
2014-01-01 00154, 2014
nikki
except in the server so I don't have to swear at the webservice :P
2014-01-01 00133, 2014
ianmcorvidae
heh
2014-01-01 00131, 2014
nikki wonders how to make history work properly with screen in this terminal

I can't figure out how load_all in lib/MusicBrainz/Server/Data/Edit.pm works
2014-01-01 00152, 2014
uk
or how to change it so that it loads area containments.
2014-01-01 00149, 2014
ianmcorvidae
it won't be able to, I don't think, it generally only works with $c->model('Whatever')->load
2014-01-01 00109, 2014
ianmcorvidae
you can load it separately though, I think, not that I remember where
2014-01-01 00127, 2014
uk
hmm.
2014-01-01 00134, 2014
ianmcorvidae
anyway, the way it works is it uses the 'foreign_keys' definition which specifies which things to load with get_by_id (and their IDs) and then what things to load afterwards for each thing with ->load

OK, so it is possible to do the loading from load_all after all.
2014-01-01 00105, 2014

Not sure if it's optimal, though; but that's perhaps a question for review.

That's 12 lines of code (22 if counting templates) that took 4 hours. Great ratio. ;-)
It's just been open for forever then while people argued around it

Sorry! :)

Well, won't hurt to have it clearly at the bottom I guess, heh :)
2014-01-01 00148, 2014
Mineo
yeah, I can see how one would not immediately find the link in the long stream of comments

I do wonder whether just changing the name to Compilation (iTunes) wouldn't have been enough, but
2014-01-01 00102, 2014
reosarevok shrugs
2014-01-01 00120, 2014
Mineo stopped following the discussion after a while because he neither uses %compilation% nor any software that does something based on that tag
2014-01-01 00127, 2014
reosarevok
Yeah, I don't really use it either, but I got very annoyed with the people ignoring explanations and being like "it should be marked if it's a compilation in MB" so it irritates me in general now :D
nikki is somewhat busy arguing with amazon's webservices
