RB Utility - Which Groups is my Art in?

(apologies for the re-posting, I was told by RB to make this a journal entry rather than a “writing” entry – please re-favorite this entry instead)

Calling all Groupies…

I’ve recently been preparing a number of RB utilities to make my life easier, which I will share with all of you to use.

This is a utility for displaying each of your art works, with a list of which groups it has been submitted to. All on a single page.

Disclaimer: this has nothing to do with RB, don’t go blaming them if it goes wrong. This is just me, making my life easier and sharing it out :-)

Comments, suggestions, criticism all welcome! :-)

My Art in Groups:
http://ccgi.parapadakis.plus.com/rb/RBartgroups.php

By default, it displays the latest 20 pieces of art, but you can change that number up or down on the login screen. Use 999 to get everything.

WARNINGS
1) This utility will take a while to run. It has a lot to do to collect that info. Be patient!
2) The utility does not store passwords, but it doesn’t use encryption either. If your RB password is the same as your bank account’s – Change it!
3) Don’t get confused by the checkboxes next to the groups name, they don’t actually do anything!

I hope you find it useful. Bookmark this post and come back whenever you want a summary of which groups your art has been posted in.
Regards, George

Thanks, it does work well

Works like a charm – thanks. Does it encrypt passwords or are they plain text? Should I change my password after using this?
monocotylidono replied

Thanks Max – the password is not encrypted, but it’s also not stored anywhere. The warning in my description is mostly for the people who use the same password for everything, generally a bad practice. If your RedBubble password is not that critical for other things, I don’t think you need to worry about it, the risk is minimal.

Nice work – using cURL and PHP DOM? A Redbubble API would be great using a web service maybe. Probably won’t happen though!
monocotylidono replied

Thanks mate; CURL and an amazing amount of very finicky regular expressions that are doing my head in, and break every time RB make changes to their presentation layer… :-) I’ve asked for an API, SDK, Database View, scripting, anything better than this, but there is nothing forthcoming. Not on their priority list :^(
