New Enhancements – Film Submissions and Search Plugin

We snuck a couple new features into the code last week. Both had been in our list of things to do for months… and now they’re done! The list goes from 569 to 568.8 pages.

Your Film Submissions as Collection

Nearly all the films which enter our database are submissions made by users. Indeed, many have added hundreds and hundreds of films to the database. Until now, there was no easy way to see all the films which a particular user had created.

Now when you submit a new film to Criticker, it’s automatically added to a private collection called My Film Submissions Submitted Films. A link to this special collection is available from your profile (or the profile of whatever user you’re interested in!)

All previously submitted films have been automatically added to the collections, so now you finally have a list of your submissions!

Criticker Search Plugin

This didn’t turn out to be as difficult as we thought it would be! Criticker now has a search plugin, using the OpenSearch platform. Most browsers have a search box in their toolbar, and you can now add Criticker to it. This will allow you to do a search at Criticker, regardless of whether you’re on the site or not!

In home news, we’re going to be taking some time off next week. It’s our first vacation in over two years, and we’ll probably end up working most of it anyway. Sigh. We’re flying home to visit my family in the Midwest. So, apologies in advance for not being responsive to emails next week!
