| Thanks a BUNCH for this handy little app. Only thing is, it shows how much of a dumbass I am.......I would no more have any idea how to write a program that could do that than I would be able to quit thinking of ways to spend more money on my Land Cruiser!
Glad there are those of you out there who have created handy little devices like this thing called a computer!...............I don't know what I did before there was an Internet, but I'm certain I wasn't happy!

Wouldn't be that hard to kluge it but there are a couple better ways to do it and I'm going to try one of them here on my other system that isn't exposed to the world and make it work because it involves changing the database and 25-ish lines of code.
Also, there are indeed organized lists of cities by province so that would be the way to go when I do deploy it.
So Canadians are going to have to wait a little while. Sorry. -- Paul | |

| In the new york cities, the cities after Rochester are screwed up. They are offset, for example if you select Rochester, it will search for Syracuse.
And thanks again!

| Any chance you could make an option to search ALL states at once?
That would be great  | |

| The way my Craigslist searches work is you pair a city and a query string and issue the request and set the results aside. Then you get the next city and continue until you've done every city and query pair. I then do some paring down and changing of the fonts to make the results more viewable (in my opinion). Doing the whole US would be probably close to 500 cities. It isn't work per se in the sense that I won't be sweating, but, it would be just a lot of internet bandwidth and a lot of server bandwidth. Plus, I think it might piss off Craig. That is, I don't think Craig minds the kind of stuff I'm doing right now cuz it is just making their site a little more accessible. But the day I enable, with one or two clicks, 1000 queries on their server, I think that might get someone's attention.
That said, I've been thinking about putting together a database of all the current cruisers for sale on Craigslist. The users on this board or anyone else for that matter could see the last time a given state or city has been updated with current info and refresh it. That is, the results are there and you just refresh them and you'd be able to see the whole country on one page. Plus, the columns could be year, price, model, etc and it would be easy to sort. I hope that makes sense. But I think this would be a few hours of work and would be really cool. | |
