National CGI Feed Addition Request
Would it be possible to add the region and world UN ranking position to the cgi data feed file?
IE add it to ~ www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/nationdata.cgi/nation=sunset
If this would break things a seperate feed would be very nice as well.
Why? Just for more detailed national stats. I track quite a few nations by hand now and that is a lot of data pulled from the server every day. The data cgi would make it faster and I suppose mean less data pulled.

That would be a nice addition.

If this is easily doable (which I expect it is) it will be implemented after the migration.

Heh - I remember back when it wasn't even shown on the nation page.
I've been playing NS for too long, haven't I.... :twisted:
Excellent. Time to learn php so I can do a little more with the data than just display it.

If the servers can handle it after the migration, any chance of getting the 250 nations limit increased on the regional feed?

Unlikely, but I have some other solutions to the problem up my sleeve. They are much lower priority, though, as they take more work.

Ok, fair enough. Looks like I'll have to keep telling the regional recruiters to cool it a little (a big region is nice, but not if it break my damned census :P ).
Of course what I would really like is if the nation's 'remembered' their own ranking. Sure it would update randomly but it would be nice to be able to cast a wider net. That might be doable with increased capacity, but I don't know exactly how each nation's datafile is stored. It might be just too much data then.
