Adding Grad Years to the Members List

Hey Miguel,

How about adding year of graduation as a column in the members list? That way people can scan the list looking for same year students without having to check each member's profile. Just a thought.

Ack.

Shoot, GeorgeH suggested this so long ago and I keep failing to make it happen.

I might have some time this week. It is a really good suggestion. I gotta sit down this week and hack through it.

Thanks for posting it up, now it's documented and in my face. Sorry for the delay.

I have an upgrade that I need to perform, and then this will be on the TOP of my site TO-DO list.

Hey, I'm just happy that you manage the site at all! Thanks for everything. =D>

Miguel, do these updates cost you anything besides your valuable time? Just curious. If there is an option (I doubt it) to put the persons Grad year in for those who don't get on every day/month could you? Like if they typed it in their profile. Because there will be some that never will.

Hey George,

I'm responsible for domain fees (yearly) and hosting (monthly) fees. I mostly wish I had more time to develop the site further.

I made it so that typing in the grad year was mandatory when they registered so people have been doing it since I incorporated it (very early).

The data is there, I just need a couple of hours to program the additional code.

Is it a cost we can donate to? How much is it?

Hi George,

Thanks for the thought, but that is not necessary. The current site content and traffic do not affect any other project I run from the server so it isn't really a problem to run the site.

Perhaps in the very distant future the amount of members, traffic, and content may require more extensive maintenance and support. If that comes to be, there are different options to consider, but I'm not really worried about it right now.

:)

I'll try and work on having that feature for Labor Day. My wife is going away for a couple of weeks in August so I will have a lot more time on my hands to work on home and computer projects.

Is the seach option there yet. I can't seem to find it if it is. Thanks.

Re: Adding Grad Years to the Members List

it definitely would make a huge difference if we were able to just look people up by their graduating class. That way we don't have to search for 5 billion hours for a list of kids we graduated with.

Done.

Done.

See the Members List link on the left menu.
