Well maybe this would get people to do more reviews.
If you’re like me, the hardest part of doing reviews for songfight is just typing out all the damn artist names…. Well fear no more… just spent the last 3 hours doing an automatic parser, that will read all the colors for the week,
Can handle,
Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry,
Red, green, blue
Black, yellow, ...
and all others

Grab all the artist in each color, color tabs, colors, sort them out, and print for you in a form friendly format.. fill in your reviews, copy and past to the board, and bingo..

When I get more time, I will see if I can make it post to the right thread on the board as well.

Enjoy

I stopped doing reviews because I kept accidentally pissing everyone off with them, despite the fact that I did my best to be as non-insulting as possible with them. Heh.

Now's your chance to start again!
Reviews are important. I'd much prefer to have a negative review than no review at all.

One thing I would say about reviews (which I have said before, but as Jack White put it 'it bears repeating') is this: please review, if you want to; but remember that this is a public discussion board, and therefore most likely you will be called on to justify your opinions / explain yourself. This is not some 'run in, say something that you haven't really thought through, and then run away again' deal - it doesn't help anyone improve.

I personally can't stand that 'it's my opinion, deal with it' attitude, especially when people are only reviewing to diss down the other songs in a fight in which they are participating / seek some attention / make 'funny'.

I lost this script a while back. I was piss, as typing stuff out is a waste of time, and copy and past, is not fast enough for me.
So, on a day when am the only one in the office as everybody else is home for the holidays, I rewrote this crap.

http://fvs.blaststream.com/testapp/shar ... eviews.cfm

I’ll put the code here, just incase I loose it again, or someone wants it for something.

Code: Select all


function ShowSongfightEntries(){
	var i=1;
	var thispage = GetWebPage(url='http://www.songfight.org');
	Aentries 	= getSongFightEntries(thispage);
	FightTitle	= getSongFightTitle(thispage);
	page =FightTitle & " REVIEWS:"&chr(10)&chr(10);
	for(i=1;i lte arraylen(Aentries);i=i+1){
		page=page&"<u><b>"&Aentries[i]&" :</b></u>"&chr(10)&chr(10)&chr(10);}
	output("<textarea>#page# </textarea>",1,1);
}
function getSongFightTitle(page){
	var title = "";
	if(len(arguments.page)){
		arguments.page = replacenocase(arguments.page,'<FONT SIZE="+1" COLOR="##000000">','> ^^^','all');
		Apage = listtoarray(arguments.page,'^^^');
		if(arraylen(Apage) gt 1){
			title = left(Apage[2],find('</FONT>',Apage[2])-1);}
	}
	return title;
}
function getSongFightEntries(page){
	var Aentries = ArrayNew(1);
	var i=1;
	if(len(arguments.page)){
		arguments.page = replacenocase(arguments.page,'TYPE="RADIO" NAME="TheVote"  VALUE="','> ^^^','all');
		arguments.page = removeHTML(arguments.page);
		Apage = listtoarray(arguments.page,'^^^');
		for(i=1;i lte arraylen(Apage);i=i+1){
			findel = find('"',Apage[i]);
			if(findel){
				temp = left(Apage[i],findel-1);
				if(find(temp,Apage[i],findel)){
					arrayappend(Aentries,temp);}		
			}
		}
		arraysort(Aentries,'Text');
	}
	return Aentries;
}
function removeHTML(page){
	var newpage = "";
	var i = 1;
	Apage = listtoarray(arguments.page,'<');
	for(i=1;i lte arraylen(Apage);i=i+1){
		AthisBlock = listtoarray(Apage[i],'>');
		if(arraylen(AthisBlock) gt 1){
			newpage = newpage & trim(AthisBlock[2]) & " ";}
	}
	return newpage;
}
