subsite selection for myFavorites

March 3, 2010 2:19 PM

Pony: You know how on the "/activity" page there's a dropdown menu labeled "Showing activity from:", and you can choose from different subsites? It would be swell if this dropdown and site-selection appeared on the "/activity/myfavorites" page too.

I'd like to be able to see recent comments on favorited posts -- like we can with posts we've commented in. Also... Hi, this is my first metatalk post.

Hi! Sounds like you have two requests here. 1.) You'd like to be able to view posts by subsite on the Recent Activity on My Favorite Posts page. And 2.) You'd like to see recent comments on your favorite posts.

Your 2nd request lives at the page where your first request would happen. So that page shows you recent comments on posts you've marked as a favorite. And yeah, I think we can add filtering to a subsite there, I'll add it to the to-do list.

Yes, that sounds right. Actually, I only mentioned (2) because I was elaborating about why I wanted (1), so I think we're on the same page. :)

Also, thank you!!

I'm just floored that it was so easy to get the feature added to the to-do list... I was half expecting something like that redirect-upon-signout fiasco.

Isn't it nice when people are nice to people in MetaTalk?

Yeah, that's a good point.

Oh, I was talking to gman. Wheelieman's point was rather strident.

You can select a subsite on the Recent Activity on my Favorite Posts page now. While I was in there retooling, I also fixed some similar issues that the latest version of My Activity fixed up. That includes adding paging if you have more than 30 favorite posts with activity, and more precision in finding posts with activity. Let me know if you spot any bugs.

Will do, and thanks for the pony!
