RB Utility - All Challenges & Entries
This is the one you’ve all asked me for…
If you are into RB challenges and many groups, one of the biggest frustrations is trying to remember what you have entered in which challenge, and keeping track of which challenges are open.
This has been bugging me almost since I joined RB. It took me a while to figure this one out, but here its. Use the link below, to get a report that
- across the 1100+ groups that are hosted on RB…
shows…
- what challenges are running in each group
- how long each challenge is running for (open or voting)
- if you are a member of each group or not
- what art you have submitted to that challenge, if anything
All of these…
- on one web page (so you can print it)
- with live links, so that you can directly jump to the group, challenge or art piece
UPDATE: 15 January 2009
New version which fixes single quotes in challenge names, corrected links to your work and an extra option on the login screen to choose if you want to only see “Open” or “Voting” challenges – the default is both.
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, other ideas, all welcome! :-)

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!
I hope you find it as useful as I have. Bookmark this post and come back whenever you want to get a handle on your challenges & entries.

It would be great if this was a part of redbubble!
I’m a little leery about entering my username and password.
monocotylidono replied
Thanks Vanessa, I totally agree! I would love to see this capability as part of RedBubble and with direct access to the database it would not need to run for ages either! In terms of password, I share your concerns (that’s why I put a warning in the description) but unfortunately there is no other way of achieving this. I can only guarantee that the application does not store or communicate any passwords but I cannot offer any guaranties on what happens outside that… I hope you find the utility useful!

BTW: Forgot to mention – I have a new version coming out in the next couple of days with some fixes and the option to chose “open” or “voting” only if you want. If you have any other suggestions for improvement – shout! :-) thanks – George
