POST CURIOSITY + DISCOVERY INFO HERE

[DatOneGuy]

any interest in sorting by LP/Hour/Slots?
Certain things take multiple slots and this divides their actual LP/Hour. For example Thorny Thistle would need to perform twice as good as a regular 1x1 Curio to be worth the 2 slots.

I'll add it anyway but only to the full page table for now.

Yeah, that's definitely interesting info.

I'm for that too. I'm also for getting rid of the "Requirements" column as it causes the table to become 2 - 3 times bigger.

Yeah I noticed that stretches it because the requirements aren't neatly kept, that's something that would be better off manual or trimmed, it doesn't transfer nicely from the individual pages to a table.

Is there a way to hide columns? I thought that's what the sort button was at first. And is table completely automatically generated? Like it just takes all the info on the item and populates the table or can you make a table that reference specific things about an item? I haven't messed with the more complicated things in wikis.

It's generated automatically like that I believe yes, it seems to be working that way, I don't even have to make an edit to make it change information.
Yes it's possible to make a table reference specific things.
I've been trying to make the table able to make collapse because they are friggin' huge on the Curiosity page, but couldn't.

I don't believe it's possible to get rid of certain columns at will, the best way I've found for that is to make multiple pages with multiple tables that each do what that user may want. I'll leave the main table with all this stuff, can make other ones or add to the bottom (ugly though) that filter out what you may not want.

Edit:Did a bit of work on that crap, trying to make links on each curiosity page to their terrain type for foragable. I was unaware that Toadstools were edible, added it as a curioforagedfood.

Idea: Any way to create an XML or SQL data dump of the curio data? Anyone wanting to do more than look at the big table can load it into Google apps, Excel, Access, whatever, and create their own tables and such.

If there is I don't know how. Check Semantic-mediawiki, they might have something.

It's easy enough to make a page somewhere in your own User pages (sandbox/etc) and add only what you want to see.

Didn't even think of that second one! I always forget you can make public user pages with collected info and links for yourself and others.

Otherwise, there are better ways of organizing, displaying, and searching data than the limited DB tools wikis provide. It's a small enough data set it could easily be entered by hand somewhere. I was wanting something easier so updating would be such a bear.

there is probably some xml thing. ask spiff.
