star multiple users

[kabirsikand]

Potential Enhancement:
-Star Multiple Gamertags
-use a dropdown in the top right where the starred gamertag is kept, show multiple starred gamertags. if none, dropdown doesnt exist. if 1, just show that one gamertag. dropdown shows if more than one gamertag is starred
-allows user to keep track of self & friends
-keep it to a max of like 3-6, to keep site looking clean

This is a good idea, I just need to think of a better way to track the "stars".

Currently it is via cookie. I only have a few options though

• HTML5 local storage (doesn't support all browsers / mobile)
• Cookies still
• IP (shared IPs will share stars)
• Login /w pass for 100% tracking support (goes against Leaf's simplicity though)

you could keep it in cookie format for now, but increase the number of starred players saved in the cookie. in terms of the dropdown vs just showing a gamertag, you could do that with some simple javascript/jquery. if you need any help with dev i can lend a hand starting next week, after my finals are over.

also, if you have space on your server, you could have an ID stored in the cookie, and find that cookie ID in your database, load the information from there so that you don't have to store much in the cookie. haven't tried this out yet but a buddy said he's experimenting with that
