Cubing on Facebook

[StachuK1992]

Stefan: if people use a lot of apps (games, etc), it won't be there, as other stuff will clutter it. Instead, they will have to search for it in the text field. "speed" works fine.

I'd like it to appear more readily, so it's like "oh hey. I'm statue. I cube" right as one gets to my page, but with facebook, I'm not quite sure if that's possible.

Do you mean the delay from clicking on the "Cube" tab until it appears? I think that's a general facebook issue, I get the same with their own tabs (Wall, Info, Photos). If you mean something else, please explain.

I mean for the box to be on my "home page" when people search for my name, or visit my wall, as it was a long time ago, in many updates ago, when everything was on your "wall"
it shows up fine in the "cube" tab.

It says competitions as of Apr 22, 2010, but it doesn't display my records from Baltimore Spring, which was Apr 18, 2010.

Sorry about that. It shows the last date I fetched the WCA's export data, and the export was outdated. I updated it now, please try again and let me know whether it's correct now.

I'll change it to say the date of the *creation* of the export.

It is correct now. Thank you.

If you've used lots of applications, you have to search for one. It will only show 5 applications.

Ah, thanks. Now how do I solve that...

I could call the tab "Speedcube" (or "SpeedCube"), but I'd rather keep it short so people can fit more tabs there (facebook is getting rid of boxes, new applications will have to be on their own tabs, so I fear it might get crowded).

I can't call the application "cube", has to have at least 7 characters

Very cool. Thank you for this.

Call it Cube Records?

EDIT: Is there a way to add tags?

 

[kinch2002]

Awesome idea!

Suggestion for development: Any chance it could show the whole profile (i.e. National/World rankings) as well as the times?

 

[Deleted member 4527]

just used this, it's awesome

btw can you perhaps implement it so that it shows ur world ranking as well? (*cough* to show off *cough* )

only this way at present
i think the easiest way to solve it is to modify the "help" image

If it won't show up there, you can go to Account-> Application Settings-> Edit Settings (beside speedcube)-> Add (beside tab)

to add a note in the third image would be fine like this

my drawing sucks

ps: the forum was down just now?

 

[Stefan]

Ok, I changed the help, now it says to pick the application from the list or enter "speedcube". That should suffice, I think.

I mean for the box to be on my "home page" when people search for my name, or visit my wall, as it was a long time ago, in many updates ago, when everything was on your "wall"
it shows up fine in the "cube" tab.

I think that's not possible, sorry. At least I've read that they're reducing applications to tabs, so no more boxes and stuff more directly on the profile (except already existing ones, and they might be disabled some day as well).

Call it Cube Records?

Well, right now it's just the records, but maybe I'll add that you can list your puzzle collection there or other stuff, so that wouldn't fit.

EDIT: Is there a way to add tags?

Where would you like to add tags?

Any chance it could show the whole profile (i.e. National/World rankings) as well as the times?

Maybe, but I think I'd make it an option. All those rankings would make it quite crammed and I prefer it to be slim and clean. So it should be a choice of whether to display the ranks. There's a link to your WCA profile page, I'll rewrite the text to point that out more clearly.

Great idea! I added it on my facebook.

 

[TheMachanga]

That is really cool. Thanks!

 

[Kian]

Works well for me. Pretty darn cool.

 

[Stefan]

Yaeh, 42 users now

 

[MichaelP.]

This is great. Thank you very much Mr. Pochmann.

I can confirm that it has updated the Baltimore competition because my results are accurate.

 

[TheMachanga]

Now people can see my crappy times.

 

[Dave Campbell]

I like this idea very much. So often i get cubers request to add me and i don't know who they are. With this app, it will make it easier to just click the tab, click their profile link and see if i have been at a comp with them, or where about in the world they are based on past competitions, that sort of thing. I appreciate the work.
