The reason I don't want to do that is it only applies to portal 2 maps - not mods, portal 1 maps, or other files.

Just use the advanced search, it's like 2 more clicks

Also, completed the "map that has a workshop link and also a download button" style, check it out on my map "planets and porridge"

Stuff's getting crossed off the list real fast now

Edit: Okay, you can now display 5, 10, 20, or 50 results at once. Default is 5 for now, might change that to 10 later.

Edit2: Last job for tonight, added a link to maps with a single author (as of now: all of them. I'll work out how to do it for multi-author maps later) to see all of that author's maps. Also cleaned up the pagination so that it doesn't add a million tags to the URL unless necessary.

Remaining to-do list (for my sake more than anyone else's):

[list:c7r6ahn5]
[:c7r6ahn5]finish steam integration[/:m:c7r6ahn5]
[:c7r6ahn5]multi-author link support (links only work if there's a single author on a map - not that any in the database have more than one at the moment)[/:m:c7r6ahn5]
[:c7r6ahn5]description HTML-to-BB & vice versa[/:m:c7r6ahn5]
[:c7r6ahn5]tag support on search[/:m:c7r6ahn5]
[:c7r6ahn5]better type categories
[/:m:c7r6ahn5]
[:c7r6ahn5]news autopost[/:m:c7r6ahn5]
[:c7r6ahn5]news moderators[/:m:c7r6ahn5][/list:u:c7r6ahn5]

After that, we start planning the promotional SFM contest.

HTML-to-BB is being tougher than expected, and type categories are kind of a big thing

A couple things I did that weren't on that list were an RSS feed (accessible from anywhere on the site, in the footer and if your browser can autodetect it) for maps, and a footer with some site info and links.

Edit: I've just realized the footer can ride up the page if it's too short...whoops. Not sure how to handle this...

Its a good idea, but I agree.

Well, I dunno. We'll see.

Also, it seems the strike tag is a little broken...it struck out every item on the list

In case it wasn't clear, HTML-to-BB, better type categories, and the two news site things still need to be done.

As an aside for implementing the new type system, I made a couple bits of the site better - search and sidebar map thumbnails are now actually thumbnails (they used to be loaded as full images and resized by the browser, now it's done serverside), and I made the news bits of the front page actually update with the news - feedback/bug reports always appreciated on that.

The new type system isn't done yet (spent a good chunk of time today creating .gifs) but here's how it'll work:

Portal 1
- Map
- Addon
- Mod

Portal 2
- Singelplayer Map (workshop)
- Co-op Map (workshop)
- Addon
- Mod

Other
- Tf2 (I have this set based on a server variable - might only turn it on for contests, not sure yet)
- Miscellaneous

There'll also be a checkbox that only appears on the upload page during contests, which you can use to mark your map as a contest entry. This option won't be available for editing maps, as contest entries should at the very least be touched up for contests, not straight reuploads.
