[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 767418, member: 11220"] Answered in that thread Scraping is something I wanted to improve for 1.2 but ran out of time. There are lots of flaws with it but these are things that will be addressed now in 1.3. What I hope to do in the meantime is provide some sort of plugin to automate scraping. Not sure I think these are worth it but might have a look. These values could easily be added by a third party plugin if necessary. Not sure what you mean? Too many unknowns to do this easily. Getting a list of views is simple (there is a list). getting a list of say years would involve querying everything in the database to find out what values exist. One way to achieve this would be to create a 2011 view with a restriction of = 2011. You could then jump direct to this view but you would need one view per year which is far from ideal. There is also only a single hyperlink parameter, I guess we could add in some form of syntax here (say view#value) or something and then parse this but that is fairly messy and not sure there is a need for it? Either way these are things for 1.3 rather than 1.2 [/QUOTE]
