No More Dead Ends

Don't you hate it when you find a listing that you are interested in and after you click on it it says that it has been removed? Well we do to. So we are now constantly going through the thousands of listings that we have and verifying that they are still available, so you don't have to.

Enjoy, and please keep on telling us what you like/don't like, etc...

Thanks and have a great day,
Wade

Big News

The big news is that we have been remodeling and have made some exciting changes.

First, we are now gathering and indexing classified listings from several sources and making them searchable through TikiWade. We are currently just getting the listings from TikiWade, but will soon be getting them from other areas as well. We are only holding on to 5 days worth of listings at the moment.

Secondly, as you will notice, the home page has changed to just a search field. Thats right, you now need to search to find what you are looking for, but I'll share a little secret with in you in this blog post, if you leave the search field blank and just click the "Tiki Search" button you will get back everything.

Thirdly, if the listing on the other site has images in the postings, we will try to grab the first image and use it as a gallery image. Your listings will still look best when they are hosted on TikiWade though, because you have more control.

We will continue to work on improving TikiWade, please continue to check it and give us feedback. Please also tell others about TikiWade. The more people that are using it the more we can improve it.

Thanks
Wade

Selenium RC

I just wanted to post a little blurb about something that selenium rc does that caught me. When you write a suite of tests using the IDE the tests run sequentially in the browser and everything works great. However, when you export each test to java for junit, and then export the suite, and try to run the suite, the tests open a new browser for each test. This can cause the tests to fail if the next test depends on the browse to be in the state that it was left in from the previous test.

The solution was to add -browserSessionReuse to the command line to start the rc server.
