There is already a tag for your RSN, and associated with that is a link to the RS high scores. Now, I understand that this link simply takes the generic link to the high scores, http://hiscore-web.runescape.com/lang/e ... .ws?user1=, and appends whatever you put in the text field as your RSN.

 

 

 

Well, I had two thoughts.

 

 

 

One: on page generation, have it use the default comparative high scores (provided of course both users have defined their RSN's in their profile.)

 

 

 

This will load your high scores compared to that of the other user, provided you both defined your RSN in your profile.

 

 

 

So instead of

" " + $theirRSN + ""

make it

 "" + $theirRSN + "" 

 

 

 

where:

$highScoreLink = "http://hiscore-web.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/hiscorepersonal.ws?user1="



$compareHighScoreLink = "http://hiscore-web.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/compare.ws?user1="



$compareSeperator = "&user2="

 

 

 

Obviously, if $theirRSN == $myRSN just display the original... no need to compare to yourself. Also if theirs is undefined display nothing, as it currently is.

 

 

 

 

 

My second idea involves something similar. Currently, it displays the clan name, if it's defined. I propose another field in the profile for a link to underly this field to which we can link to a clan homepage or a member list, if the link field is defined.

 

 

 

Thoughts, questions, concerns? Find a syntax error? Yeah, I'm not a php coder :P nor a JavaScript :P did my best tho, the pseudocode should be enough for a competent coder to figure out :P But if you see one let me know I'll fix it. ;-)

 

 

 

Either way, all mature, constructive feedback is appreciated. :-)

 

Thanks for reading!

/* imho, a couple worthwhile suggestions :-s Just bumping to denote my continued interest */

Adding a clan link to the profile was rejected, when I suggested the clan profile option, because the risks outweigh the benefits: it's not really needed, may pose a security risk, etc.

An understandable concern. However, it could be restricted to pointing to the RuneHead listing by simply requesting the name of the clan as it shows for RuneHead (although a user could follow the link from there and at that point be exposed to the same potential risks.)

 

 

 

As far as the "not really needed," the same could be said about virtually any improvement/feature, or indeed the entire site. I do agree with the notion of "risks outweighing the benefits," for sure if it's not restricted to the RuneHead, and maybe even if it is.
