    Yeah, we regularly do that. I actually did it for about half of the library by now.


    I am specifically interested that Other Fandoms get included as well. While the HP section is almost static with just one new entry per week, 'Other Fandoms' is the booming part of our library.

    Somehow after I search for a tag first like; complete I am able to click on tags and they work just fine. I'm using Chrome I hope this helps any.

    and also is it me or am I missing pages, because when I'm looking through different searching methods: rating, title, author I get different stories that I didn't see on the other searches.

    There is no paging, you see the top 50 from each search.

    This will be improved

    I like the tool and think it will be very useful for helping find things I should pick up and read.

    That said, I think it unlikely that I'll use it very heavily until after paging is introduced. Unless I'm missing how to do this, I find it a bit limiting right now that with paging not in place I can't say "get me stories rated under 4.3" for example, so that I can browse details of a wider range.

    So yes, I really like this. I'll just like it more when it expands a little further :)

    I added some paging.

    Improved the extraction algorithms -- not 100% yet.

    Also added a new default sort. It's based off the Bayesian Average (a type of additive smoothing) algorithm for adjusting star ratings in the absence of enough ratings. I adjusted everything toward a 4.0. Star ratings remain the same (same as the forum), but you can sort using this value (even if you can't directly observe it).

    No new filtering options yet, this has been the first chance I've had to work on the Library in a while. :)

    Is it just me or can we not search by rating?

    Edit :: Let me clarify by saying the story rating, K+/T/M

    No, it's not available.

    It's best to assume it's rated M in the meanwhile, just in case.

    I also don't seem to be able to search multiple tags at once.

    Huge improvement from just the paging alone. Far more usable for me now :)

    Kudos to you sir! Think I'll probably be a frequent user from now on hehe.

    "I'll post docs soon." - it would be welcomed.

    Is it possible to query individual ratings (user with id <> rated story <> as <>) or is it limited to aggregated score?

    It is limited to aggregate score for now.

    https://forums.darklordpotter.net/library_list.php have no FFN link, but FFN link is included in the first post. Probably it is case of too fancy formatting combined with regexp unable to capture all links and it may be nice to fix it (regexp or formatting) - it affects at least following threads: https://forums.darklordpotter.net/showthread.php?t=5708 https://forums.darklordpotter.net/showthread.php?t=23756 https://forums.darklordpotter.net/showthread.php?t=20365 and https://forums.darklordpotter.net/showthread.php?t=22894

    http://forums.darklordpotter.net/showthread.php?t=17021 and https://forums.darklordpotter.net/showthread.php?t=14378 - is it possible to allow voting? Threads are locked so it sits on my https://forums.darklordpotter.net/recommended.php

    Thanks for all your help. I'm finishing a pretty intense project at work, once completed I should be able to devote some time to API improvements. :)

    I was playing with this and I noticed that status information (complete/abandoned/etc green boxes) is collected from tags rather than from thread status.
