Projects list loads to slow

Postby KVZ » Sun Jul 03, 2005 10:11 pm

In Polish area we have huge projects list (because of huge amount of unfinished burying projects and not enough active characters to finish them) and list loads veeery slow. But I noticed, that when I want to use some materials on any project, then list of that projects on which I can use materials on them loads very fast! I know that there no buttons and links on this list but plain list of projects. But why so much difference?

Because you're just requesting a list of projects in the latter case.
In the former, you're requesting more information from the database.

Or so I'd assume.

I have to agree with Nick.

When you call the drop down list, for when you apply resources, all you're calling are:

- Name of the project
- Player that started it
- Start date

Or something like that. When you call the long listing of all the projects, you're calling:

- Name of the project
- Player that started it
- Start date
- If anyone is working on it (Highlight the project light grey)
- If YOU are working on it (Highlight the project white)
- The images at the side

There may be more to either of these cases, but essentially, you're asking for more in the latter scenario. Nick is probably right, for once.

- whether you are already working on a project (if so you cannot join a project)
- whether the initiator is still around
- what search term you entered (even if you left the text area empty)
- WHO you are (if you don't know this, you can't know if YOU are working on it)

And to both lists should be added ofcourse:

- the location you are at.


That pretty much sums it up, I suppose. I'm not from the PD however.

I think that this thing should be in first list too.
