Could the recent list be made multi page?

Hi,

I sometimes browse OS4Depots recent list on my laptop at work and think "oh cool, i'll download that" and then completely forget. Then it drops off the recent list and I can't remember what I'd made a mental note of what it was I was going to download.

Would it be possible to have a "Next Page" link at the bottom of the recent list that continues the list. It should be a simple change to the sql query to support a start offset, and that way i could browse all the way back to the beginning of os4depot, which could be fun

@xeron

I'll second that.

A while ago we had a long holiday so missed a lot of stuff on the "recent" page. I was wondering then whether we could have a "not quite so recent" page of things we might have missed.

It would be VERY useful to have the Recent page and then links to pages of things that were recent before they got knocked off the latest page.

I think that is a great idea. Sometimes I forget to download stuff as well and by the time I remember it is off the recent list.

@xeron

The Recent list does not use an SQL query, os4depot is entirely file based by design to avoid needing mirrors to have an SQL database. The main site has some functions that get some extended functionality by using a mysql database though (searching, some stats, index sorting), but the database is not needed to run the site.

I'll add the request to the todo list and we'll see.

For now people can use:

@xeron

Anyway, I couldn't help myself so I've added pages to the base engine.

Note that the page links go back 10 days each (by date). Though the recent list below always displays 10 different days from where there has been files published, regardless of how many days it has to go back in time to find 10 different days.

I resolved that downloading the full index than sorting it
on the date column and investigating from the date
where my holidays begun.

If somone it's interested I can post the exact command
to sort the fullindex by date, I used the sort command
that came with the SDK (I think)

@pvanni

Seems like at lot of work instead of just downloading the already sorted list:
