Is there a way to see even more posts that were favorited than are returned to the single result page? post:metatalk.metafilter.com,2008:site.16177 Sun, 27 Apr 2008 21:45:35 -0800 DB Cooper By: cortex http://metatalk.metafilter.com/16177/Popular-favorites-results-expansion#539393 You can download the results of <a href="http://mefi.from.bz/index.htm?query=SELECT+mefipost_id%2C+SUM%28+favorites+%29+AS+favorites_sum+FROM+%60mefi_posts%60+GROUP+BY+mefipost_id+ORDER+BY+favorites_sum+DESC">this Data Playground query</a> to page through every favorited post to the blue ever, ordered by number of favorites. Tweaks can get you posts on other subsites, as well as comments. comment:metatalk.metafilter.com,2008:site.16177-539393 Sun, 27 Apr 2008 22:43:53 -0800 cortex By: carsonb http://metatalk.metafilter.com/16177/Popular-favorites-results-expansion#539399 Check my profile. comment:metatalk.metafilter.com,2008:site.16177-539399 Sun, 27 Apr 2008 23:38:19 -0800 carsonb By: DB Cooper http://metatalk.metafilter.com/16177/Popular-favorites-results-expansion#539401 Thanks! I have already found some rabbit trails that look promising... comment:metatalk.metafilter.com,2008:site.16177-539401 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 00:17:44 -0800 DB Cooper By: Rhaomi http://metatalk.metafilter.com/16177/Popular-favorites-results-expansion#539402 It seems to not allow for sorting comments by favorites. This makes me sad.<br> <br> Also, I see that Mefi has a taste for long lists of freebies... comment:metatalk.metafilter.com,2008:site.16177-539402 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 00:40:00 -0800 Rhaomi By: cortex http://metatalk.metafilter.com/16177/Popular-favorites-results-expansion#539491 Oh, hoom. Constructing a nice query to pull favorite comments would be more work, yeah. I'm more a bumbling SQL apprentice than anything; maybe a wizard will come along and do some magic with the query field there. comment:metatalk.metafilter.com,2008:site.16177-539491 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 08:24:55 -0800 cortex By: Armitage Shanks http://metatalk.metafilter.com/16177/Popular-favorites-results-expansion#539542 Top 50 favorited comments, as of the last dump.
