Not going to bother researching the threads.

Something where you can filter out events of everyone but a certain someone.

Say you want to view events of just a certain person, you type the name in some kind of box and a list of events shows up for that one character, as long as you were around to see this character perform an action.

Probably quite easily doable in CSS/javascript alone, so wouldn't require so much work from ProgD, just restructuring the events log output.. wrap each event inside the <td> in <span> then add a charID to each span (<span>).. add a combo box somewhere with local character names, if a name is selected, run some javascript, passing the charID: 'targetChar(id)'..

(obligatory warning, following completely untested, not sure if this will work..)

Code: Select all

<script>
   function targetChar(id) {
      document.getElementById('#eventslist span').style.display = 'none';
      document.getElementById('#eventslist.123456').style.visibility = 'visible';
   }
</script>

Add a filter by "None" value in the combo box, if this is selected, just run the inverse of the above first command..

Using your browser's search facility requires no programming at all.
Can't you just search the page for that char's name?

[Bran-Muffin]

You could do that... except it still shows you Everything on the page, it only highlights the characters name. Which could easily be missed.

I think the browser's search function is perfectly usable for this. In fact, I use it all the time for this and it works great.

I propose we have time machines so we can go back in time and see people doing actions in real time. Screw searching for past events.

I want a device to put on, so I can see the cantr world, like I want it to be.

Rejected so easily? I think it's a valid suggestion.

[Doug R.]

As explained, there is already an acceptable way to do this using browser search that requires zero programming. Thread was also going off-topic. Rejected.
