See with DT function - Enhancement idea

[asche]

Hello,

I made this proposition in the original updated DT thread by theymos.
Since it is getting drowned in the discussion whether the changes are positive or not and various drama I am posting my proposition here.

I love the new function "see as dt".

#2
You can view any page as if you were using the default trust settings by putting ;dt at the end of the URL. Eg. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=35;dt

When using this I would love the ability to browse the forum pages without having to add ;dt again at each time.

For instance :

1- I visit a profile
2- I add the ;dt suffix
3- I browse to the users feedbacks, and ";dt" is still there.

Removing the dt reverts to basic navigation.

I guess this shouldn't be too hard to implement, and would prove very useful.

Your thoughts?

For reference

About that one, would it be possible to make it stick when clicking on links on a page you loaded with the dt suffix.

For instance I want to see a post using the dt suffix, and then want to click on the trust ratings of someone in the thread, without having to add the dt suffix each time again.

It might be cool to have a “View as DT” button somewhere, and when activated everything you see on the forum is from the perspective of DT. That way you wouldn’t have to mess with urls and could click your way back and forth if you wanted.

Something like the Facebook view as button

My thought exactly. However this kind of implementation would be way heavier than just messing with the url in my opinion. But I'm no coder.

Yes, the Facebook view as is exactly what I was picturing but site wide and not just on your profile. I don’t think it would be difficult to code. Pretty minimal code additions needed actually.

Maybe a rollover option like in the "Last Edit", just put the pointer over the trust score and you see the ;dt. No need to open profiles you can directly see the scores in the thread.

That wouldn't cover the feedback page tho.

If theymos activated trust viewings for visitors/guests as he has mentioned before, then opening a private/incognito window and browsing the forum not-logged-in would have the desired result.

Already exists  

BPIP parses all records using default trust.   Install the extension and you click on any user profile to see their default stats.

Hmmm, that is a good idea to add to the extension!

Do you have a separate ann thread for that extension? Or do you maintain it in your bpip thread?

Thank you anyway, again.

Google Chrome?  Gross...  I don't think an add-on is needed for this and don't see why the entire forum couldn't benefit and not just those willing to trust an extension.  It's a fairly simple addition.

It's better that it requires some "effort" to view as DT. We don't want to give any more legitimacy to DT. People should make their own trust lists, DT is meant to be just the default setting for newbies.

People that would use this function already have a custom trust list.

This means they know the limitation of DT. I doubt this would legitimize DT more.

"Gross"... LOL!

I understand your point.  One of the reasons I developed BPIP was to introduce new features that Theymos does not have time to implement.

Great idea, how it will be if add option (button) on trust page like below picture I have edited. Always change url really not a good practice.

I don't think any problem for newbie. They will not make custom list IMO. So whoever will make custom list I think he is fully aware about trust system and he will able to visit this link to view full DT list.

That would probably be the most simple solution.  Anduck has a good point though.  It does seem to run contrary to what theymos is trying to accomplish.
