and what is a search server (as opposed to the 'Normal' mb server)?

to have a completely standalone server you need to install http://svn.musicbrainz.org/lucene_index/trunk/ + http://svn.musicbrainz.org/lucene_server/trunk/

Ok.

Thanks for this!

wee, another little bit of artist/index.html almost ready to check in

Finally getting back in to a coding swing

How do you disable caching on the vmware server?

I think that's what's screwing this up anyway lol

ruaok: did you still want the tag list to be just plain text above the relationship list?

oh wait, that's just my broken css lol

acid: screenshots?

Jugdish: It's on my server, I haven't added that css yet

so it's no problem

just curious to see how the artist page is looking ;)

http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/5964/picture1t... haven't started the css yet, just working on the structure

ahh gotcha

the site could use a major css overhaul imo

in what awy?

as in, a new look?

is it possible to add batch relationships?

yeah, new look

xlotlu: In what way?

smaller, more compact, less wasted space

Jugdish: hmm, maybe - do you have any ideas?

It's pretty compact as it is

aCiD2: i wanna add a performer to more releases

hmm, I'm not sure you can do it to releases, you can do that to tracks though

aCiD2: and an ASIN for that matter..

i just think the fonts are bigger than they need to be and there's way to much empty whitespace on most pages

one ASIN to multiple releases?

luks: box set

maybe talk to brianfreud about his excel-script...

ah, ok then :)

:P

well, it's only 5 edits... after adding 30 tracks by hand and hand-editing som e50 more i can live with it :)

Jugdish: Well, I did make the fonts smaller on my branch original, but luks increased it by .5px to make it consistant with what we have currently, but it's still a tiny bit smaller

but cause it's so scalable now, you can easily resize your font down and the whole layout will shrink

but increasing fonts sucks if I have to do it manually every time I open mb.org :/

er, s/fonts/font sizes/

and I can't do it globally because then other sites would break

font sizes is just a minor nit, the really problem is all the super padding and wasted screen space taken up by the current layout

on the excel script, I can do ASINs with it, but I prefer not to use it for that - too easy to bypass the js

MB needs complete redesign, not only fixing some spacing / sizing issues (IMO)

agree

ok, but who's gonna do that?

I think aCiD2's project is step one of that

I'd do the coding/html/css/anything part if somebody can design it

get it compliant, then get it clean, then change it

yeah, we need to gradually move towards the ultimate goal, rather than just stopping dead in our tracks because really we want something with a much larger scope

sounds like we could use an artist though :P

less user resistance too, if we change it gradually

Iuser interface designer

I'd prefer...

:)

totally

yep

it has to be gradual, just attempting this project made me realise how damn big mb is lol

someone with website usability expertise

acid2: at least you don't have change a separate .html page for every artist :P

that would suck

haha

hah

i'd settle with track recording time for now

as in date of recording

phew. buxtehude done

luks, if you're using firefox you could try nosquint https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/...

sets fontsize per domain
