When you click on one of the owners in the list at the bottom it automatically adds their username to your clipboard btw, so you can just paste it to find them.

Why don't you guys add a link with loc_ref.php to take you there automatically? Make it so it opens in a new tab .

Could do that if somebody can change the xml output to have each owner name parsed as a loc_ref link for me.

That shouldn't be too hard . I tried using the search and wasn't able to get any results. I entered "stuff" and "Secret Lab Map" and nothing showed up.

Am I doin it rite?

Have we lost the functionality to search by parts of the name? Do we have to put the full name in?

Can we also expand that flash search box based on the users browser window?

Well it's not going to find anything for Secret Lab Map since it's actually Secret Laboratory Map. It works fine for me for "stuff" though and it does support partial searches.

Expand what?

Isn't this item look-up going to render the 'Faerie reQuest' tool useless?

They aren't in competition. We're just trying to give as many benefits to our users as we can.

Expand it's width . Sorry .

And thanks . I'll go try that .

I must be doing something wrong . I'll figure that out later . If it works for you then it works for everyone else probably . Might have something to do with me being on linux. I know that linux has some issues with flash .

I dunno if it'll stretch the components properly if you make it wider...as far as I know they're all fixed width.

Does it really need to be wider?

....I know that ...I mean that maybe it would be a better idea to point people in the direction of the look-up rather than the re-Quest tool as they will get an answer much more quickly.

It could be used as a selling point to potential members.

No . I'm just throwing suggestions out there.

I should see it in action to see if it does show up nicely . I'll get it working for me someday .

I think it knows that I don't play so it's secretly telling me that I don't even need this so why am I bothering

[wannabe]

I just LOVE it!

Hopefully we can make this thing so good, that people won't have any reason to use the Neopets Shop Wizard for anything. All it takes is more incoming data, and the server can sort it out.

[Waser Lave]

So what would be the format of the link which goes to a person's shop through the loc_ref script?

Nvm, I got it.

You could make it highlight the item, too, when you visit the shop.

Of course, then you'd need to include the price, too... otherwise you get an error.

Well you get an error but it also gives you a nice link to the actual item too so that might be the best way to do it.

Or if you just stick "&buy_obj_confirm=yes" onto the end of the link it's fine.

Or if you list the price as 100000 anyway, it doesn't error, and it still lets you choose whether to buy or not, having seen the price.

Ok, I added a progress bar so you can see when it's loading stuff and I made it so if you click the owners it opens their shop in a new browser window.

It's amazing how quickly this item look-up has grown already. What else do you have planned for it Laser?

And it depends what people suggest.

There should be a php and flash based version!

Hmm, looks kind of complicated. I have no experience in ActionScript so Laser will have to comment on this.

We are thinking of adding rarities and main shop IDs into the information table, though we need to iron out how we are going to retrieve this data. It will only get better everyone.
