Barry Barcrest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Posted July 9, 2007 I did mail this request in but did not get a reply so i thought i would try here... is there any chance you could alter the search so if it returned one result it would just display that result rather than having to click on the 1 result? I have am the programmer behind Freebo Jukebox and want to add some intergration with songfacts/artists facts which is why i am asking. Feel free to mail me to discuss this further or i will happily chat ont his thred. Thanks for reading.
Farin Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 He meant that when you're searching for a song on SF, and there's only one result, you still get a 'list' of all search results from where you have to click on that one link... he would like to have it that SF directs, well..., directly to the facts if there's only one search result and Barry, you'd have to wait for our Fearless Leader (aka Admin) Carl for an answer for that one oh, and btw: Welcome to Songfacts
Barry Barcrest Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) Farin got it in one... Carl mailed me yesterday and i explained a little more what i was looking to do. I might have scarred him off. I hope not, i am awaiting his reply. Thanks for the replies though folks. Edited July 10, 2007 by Guest
_Laurie_ Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 Okay, Thanks Farin....and welcome to Songfacts Barry!
Barry Barcrest Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Posted July 10, 2007 I will do a mock up video and post it on you tube later to show part of what i am talking about.
Carl Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 Thanks Barry. If you could post that video it would help in understanding.
Barry Barcrest Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Posted July 10, 2007 Sorry, it's 1:00am here. I have been workin on the termin client stuff and didn't have chance to do it tonight. I will get it working tomorrow night and post up a demo video
Barry Barcrest Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Posted July 11, 2007 Here is a video of how i wanted to have songfacts running with freebox....
Super Ry 71 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 Looks good as far as I'm concerned. Nice explain, Mr. Barcrest.
Barry Barcrest Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Posted July 11, 2007 Yes the video actually explains something else that i mailed carl about. What i mentioned further up this thred was as farin described.
Carl Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 Barry- That's really cool, and a great use of the Songfacts. Give me a few days to activate my left brain and think about how we can do this. Thanks for making the effort to create the demo. Carl
Barry Barcrest Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Posted July 13, 2007 Excellent. At the moment i have made a small app the basically stores Artist Name, Song Title and then 5 facts in a small database (Random Access File). My thoughts were we could convert your database into this format. Then it is up to you how to handle this file. I could direct people over to your site and you could offer it from here which would generate you more traffic. You also get extra publicity on the popups in the jukebox. So anyone using the juke could also become potential visitors.
Barry Barcrest Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Posted July 15, 2007 For those that might be interested in this.... You can pipe the facts out to a connected BETABRITE display.
Shawna Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 This is freakin' great, Barry! I love this idea. I hope you and Carl can get this going... sweet.
