Now you can search for SDB contents in all towers!! GlitchRemote "Home/Towers" - ETA: search your friends towers and SDBs in "friends houses" for items ETA2: now with HS filters

now, when you search for a resource or any item (inside "Home/Towers" option), you will see a list of home streets with the number of items it has, and a list of towers, with the name of the owner, the number of items left and the price of each item.
(this number updates... every minute, there is a "refresh" button at the bottom of the page so you can refresh only the "data" and don't lose any street information)

you can select at the left panel a common resource, or you can search for anything in the top Rock search panel.

for example:
Bubbles:
www.glitchremote.com/#HomeS...

Search different cubimals:
www.glitchremote.com/#HomeS...

list towers with "Uralia Street Spirit Cubimal":
www.glitchremote.com/#HomeS...

Note: I'm adding a 3th list with the SDBs that your friends have for the item you are looking for... I will update the post... when its ready...
Note2: there is a bug, and after you SignIn... sometimes you need to select any street or do anything so the screen refresh (I'm looking at it)
ETA: it seems that everything is working ok now.

- UXRoot

ETA2: now you can search for items sold by your friends (3th column of results). it shows not only SDBs in towers... but SDBs (with prices inside friends houses)

ETA3:
*now... lists results updates every 30 seconds automatically... it will show a "Refreshing..." message (at the top center) and you will see without doing anything if there is any change in price / stock for each item in that lists.
*It now works on IE... :)

ETA4: (now on each home street page, it shows the SDBs that you will find inside the tower of that HS)

ETA: now HS pages has "filters" you can find SDBs with "X or more" items. by default it search for 2 or more

  • There seems to be some kind of discrepancy between what SDBs it says is in a person's tower and what's actually there?

    I hesitate to use someone's name in an example, but I'm in a tower looking at an SDB containing 50 gameshow tickets at 299c each. I found them by using the search for item thing, but when I click on the players username and go to their glitchremote page the page doesn't list that SDB.

  • send me a glitch mail with the name of the owner... so I can check it!
    Posted 5 months ago by UXRoot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • the page of gameshow doesn't show any sdb at 299c... maybe it updated in these 10 minutes... I will check in the sales database...
    Posted 5 months ago by UXRoot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • ohh... it happens for all players...
    Posted 5 months ago by UXRoot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • and the same happens with Cubimals... I will fix it...
    Posted 5 months ago by UXRoot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thanks UX your database is amazingly useful :)
    Posted 5 months ago by Liza Throttlebottom Subscriber! | Permalink
  • it should be fixed now. I changed the way items are linked in general not only in those cases.
    but for example now, cubimals and games shows in SDBs inside a HS page

  • This is an amazing database  UXRoot and I'm using it on my Profile. Thanks so much for doing this miracle of Apps. 

    Is there any way to show furniture in the Towers yet?

  • This is such a great feature! It should be stickied somewhere (and the Housing Resources Routes also) so that newcomers to the game can find it easily.

  • Not sure if you're aware UXRoot, but it appears some items still aren't showing up in searches - I did a search for some items (that are in my tower) & though they're showing on the page for what's on my street/in my tower, they're not all showing up in the searches for the individual items (an example would be hairball seeds).

  • Oh hey this is a handy site, thanks so much.  Great job!
    Posted 4 months ago by Infinite Duck Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thanks!

    @Errata Stigmata: in http://www.glitchremote.com/#HomeStreet:LHVDDTV8J1V2JD5//
    I can see the hairball seeds. and because I have you as a friend, I can see them in the list of friends too. in the main list it sorts by price, and shows only the first 30. when people start buying the first ones, yours will show in that list too.

  • Ah, thanks for explaining UXRoot!

  • This tool is amazing, I use it all the time.  One question I had though, for my street, it still shows that I have 4 Sparkly Rocks, which is very outdated... I currently have 14 Gas Plants and 21 Butterflies.  Is there anywhere I can go to refresh my data so it shows correctly?  I've tried clicking "refresh this street information" but it doesn't seem to do the trick.  Anyway, awesome tool, thanks for creating it!!  :)

  • KittenKat, this is a serious problem with both GlitchRemote and GlitchMarket. Both were showing a phantom item in my tower and it took all kinds of complaining from me to get it removed from the listings.

    Now, as I shop, I see many items like this in other people's tower listings! A very significant portion of the top listings in many categories are outdated and erroneous. As a general rule of thumb, if the item is priced lower than most of its competition and the listing is more than 3 days old, then you can bet that item does not really exist in the tower.

    Very frustrating! And what's even more frustrating is that TS, GlitchRemote and GlitchMarket are all aware of the problem but don't seem to be doing anything about it.

  • @Miss Bobbit--Complain about TS and the limitations of their API all you want....but complaining about people trying to be helpful (GlitchRemote, GlitchMarket etc)? Really? 

    That's just rude. 

    If you don't like what the volunteers provide for free make a tool yourself. Or don't use what they provide.

    I'm sure they appreciate suggestions for improvements or if bugs are found. However,  "don't seem to do anything about it"...they are doing what they can!! And so quick too ^.^ 

    PS-Even if updating works better there's still the issue of low quantity. People (myself included) leave 1 item left for the tower owner. Anyway to add a "hide towers with fewer than __ items" toggle?

  • I ran into a bit of a bug earlier, when I was shopping for snails and ended up at the tower of a very nice glitch who didn't have snails for sale in her tower and said that she hadn't for a few days (but Glitch Remote had listed her as having them still). I'm not sure what happened but I made a nice new friend and saw a new place, too.

  • It seems that furniture in towers aren't showing up in the database. Can this be fixed?
    Posted 4 months ago by Mikella Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I would like to second the request that furniture in towers be added to GlitchRemote. UXRoot, is this something you are able to add to the already awesome site you've made?
    Posted 4 months ago by foolbunny Subscriber! | Permalink
  • sorry that I didn't answer before... the API has a bug right now, TS is aware of it, and working on a fix. there isn't much I can do about that.... :(
    I'm sending them all the information people tell me, and that I can find. if someone finds a phatom SDB, I fix it manually :(

    about furniture in towers, the APi doesn't give that information... yet! as soon as it shows, I will add it.

    I can add an option to remove the sdbs with fewer items, or "older than x hours". but TS really needs to fix this! I will send another mail right now...
    Posted 4 months ago by UXRoot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The problem with outdated information is not "a  serious problem with both GlitchRemote and GlitchMarket "

    The problem is that TS is sending everyone who uses the API wrong information.  I use 3 different tower-selling apps, and every single one of them has exactly the same errors.

    It's quite heroic of these developers to try to hand fix these errors.

  • M<3tra, I contacted TS, GlitchRemote and GlitchMarket about this and then I waited several days to post about it on this forum. As far I can see no one from TS or the 2 websites had posted anything anywhere alerting people to the problem. I felt I had to post about it. I also thought it was important to provide a tip for shoppers on how to work around the bug.

    Both GlitchRemote and GlitchMarket were very prompt in removing the listing for my phantom item but I was very disappointed when I realized that the problem was so widespread but users were never warned about it.

    All software has bugs but it is just good manners to warn users about known bugs. Users warning other users about persistent bugs is not complaining. I can tell you from personal experience that this bug has been present for 10 days. I have no idea how long before that. I think that after 10 days it is acceptable for me to mention it in the forum. I had already mentioned it in the bug section but I think very few people read it.

    And I do support the third party tools that I use. I am happy to do it. But I also feel obligated to speak up about persistent bugs.

  • I haven't been back to glitch in almost a year, so any idea I had about old sites/utilities were outdated. Found remote and haven't looked back, incredible tool! Thanks for the effort and support put into them!

  • I've found this app to be very useful and appreciate all of your hard work UXRoot, however like Miss Bobbitt I have listings which are over a week outdated (meat, wood, eggs), and multiple listings of the same item. I'd hate to think that people are coming to my tower for cheap resources that I stopped selling last week :(
    Posted 4 months ago by N2ZOrtolanaBlue Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm adding an option at the bottom of the page (is not ready yet) that will show only SDBs that were updated in the last N hours. (I'm testing with different "N")
    this is not a real fix, but should help until TS fixes the bug
    Posted 4 months ago by UXRoot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Does the API give you access to the tower name?   It would be nice for branding purposes. 
    Posted 4 months ago by WalruZ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • no... it shows "player's tower"...
    Posted 4 months ago by UXRoot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • now there is a check box at the bottom of the HS pages. if you check it (it remembers the checked state for the session...) it will show you only SDBs that have been updated in the last 5 days. I think 5 days is a good number... anyway this is a temporary fix

    (if you are using the site right now... you will need to refresh your browser...)

  • just added the new 5 tickets upgrade cards
    http://www.glitchremote.com/#HomeStreet://ticket%20to

    there are already some people selling them
    Posted 4 months ago by UXRoot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • new update... now you can filter lists results by the number of items each SDB has. by default it filters by "2". but you can change that just clicking on each button (top center of the screen).
    one thing I'm not sure, is that every time you make a new search I reset to "2 or more" items again. maybe I should remember your last selection.
    this should help solve the problem of people keeping 1 item in their SDBs. and allow you to find more SDBs if you want to buy a lot of items.
    Posted 4 months ago by UXRoot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Remembering last selection would be awesome! I love the new update, HUGE help. Is there any chance we will ever be able to click more or hide streets from the list of resources? I hate having to go to each street just to get the list to drop down to the smaller streets. Also, View Home Street doesn't seem to work in IE9, but i'm sure this is an IE problem.
    Posted 4 months ago by Ramus Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hey, UXRoot, the database is missing the old style tree poison and antidotes. It's a really small thing, but I'm curious to see if anyone has any and is selling it, and for what price etc.
    Posted 4 months ago by Liza Throttlebottom Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Ramus: do you mean... you want to see more results in each list? I could show more, I don't want to add more checkbox options, but I could change the number of results...
    About IE9, I couldn't reproduce any error. is it showing any specific error? or the whole page doesn't show?

    @Liza Throttlebottom: Done! is not a small thing! I just added them:
    http://www.glitchremote.com/#HomeStreet://poison/1
    (make sure to check for filter "1 or more" too see more results... if there is any item...)

  • Is the site down?  I can't access it now...When I click on the link all I get is a bunch of codes...Anyone else see this? Plz & ty :) 
    Posted 4 months ago by Cryztal Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Works fine from here, try reloading?
    Posted 4 months ago by WeavingTheWeb Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm still just getting a big bunch of codes.. :-/
    Posted 4 months ago by Cryztal Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Wrong Way: each list is sorted by price. I will add more results to each list in another release.

    @Cryztal: what browser and operating system are you using? can you send me a glitch mail with part of the codes you are seeing? ty
    Posted 4 months ago by UXRoot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hi UXRoot Yep I will just do that right now....I am using windows Vista ...I use Google Chrome ...your site has always worked fine for me right up untill a few hours ago when I posted that msg in here. 
    Posted 4 months ago by Cryztal Subscriber! | Permalink
  • No error in IE9, it seems like the button "Visit Street" just does not work. No click happens, nothing loads. I tried it on two pc's with the same result, not sure whats up! Did it work for you?

    As far as the resource results go, it would be cool if maybe you added a "See more" to the bottom and then just load up more results? Or if you increased it that would be fine too. :)

    Quick question as well, can you see yourself on the streets from the same computer? I was trying to see if my stock was coming up for others but none of my browsers show me on yellow herbs.

  • Dolls does not seem to update . the same player is listed twice and for over 36 hours another is listed as having it in their tower . and they do not.
    Posted 4 months ago by hagen, mr Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm looking at the IE bug

    about Dolls. try using the checkbox at the bottom of the page. that should try to solve the bug the API has right now

    just for the record, suddenly it start working in Google Chrome. if anyone has any problems, send me a glitch mail or write it here.

    ty
    Posted 4 months ago by UXRoot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • about the IE bug for the *visit* button... it is more complicated that it seams... in the meantime (for GlitchRemote) try to use another browser.
    you can use two different browser at the same time if you want, you just need to be logged in in glitch.com and the visit/teleport buttons will work.

    I will try to fix it anyway, but not sure how long it will take...

    Thanks
