Possible CD-TBA integration
I've been playing with the TBA API lately, and I had an idea.
What if a user's team number, in their profile page and above their posts, became a link to the TBA page for that team. It seems to me that I often want to find info about a user's team, and having a convieniant link to that info could be extreamly useful. It's just a random idea I had. I don't know if it would be worth implementing. |

Re: Possible CD-TBA integration
I think it would be helpful...and I can't see any reason it couldn't be implemented in a few lines of code, especially given all the stuff Brandon has already done to CD's copy of vBulletin
EDIT: from an aesthetics perspective, i'd say a piclink (like the one when you quote someones post) would be better, next to their team number, as a blue linktext would compete with your username |

Re: Possible CD-TBA integration
This sounds like a good idea. I'll see what I can do between work and regionals this weekend.

Re: Possible CD-TBA integration
It seems like CD-Media could use this as well--if it's a team tag (frcXXXX) or a regional (palmettoregional), what about wedging in a link to that information on TBA or the FIRST site? If there were other teams who've tagged their own photo galleries the same way as CD, perhaps throw them in as well.

Re: Possible CD-TBA integration
I just tossed Brandon two images that could be the links. I am not sure which one works better, because making things the same size as normally-sized text is really tough. Also, little images are a bit tricky to click.
Team 177 ![]() vs. Team 177 ![]() They're both tiny, but that's the constraint of the problem. If anyone else wants to take a hand at it and come up with something better, http://www.thebluealliance.net/images/ is your playground, and I have PSDs if you want them. |

Re: Possible CD-TBA integration
I used the tiny TBA-> one .. we'll see how that goes over.
It can always change. |

Re: Possible CD-TBA integration
I figured this might happen, so I went looking.
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=65528 Try linking to some people's TBA button when they have a FVC title. Not so good. Any way to filter the TBA icon for just people with FRC titles? |

Re: Possible CD-TBA integration
listing 2 teams isn't really an option on CD it is a hack of sorts when entering the team name. People enter this in the team name field to get 2 teams: <team 1 name) & FRC #<team 2 number> (<team 2 name>
*carrots are omitted. |

EDIT: I'd just like to add that I really like this idea, and I think it adds a clean and simple bit of usability to CD. It may also lead the way for more interoperability between CD and TBA, which would also be a great thing to see. Last edited by Nate Laverdure : 19-03-2008 at 20:05. |
