Legacy THNapi:Views

Item DB Views

The THN Item DB has a feature called "views". They are like Database views, in that it shows a subset of data from the Item DB. For example there is a view to show WoC items, which will scan the database for any item that is flagged as a WoC item, or needs a WoC skill to use it.

Views are also used to provide access to additional Item DB functions, such as the Search page.

Not all views can be used outside the main Techhaven Network website. Some of these views are specialised for a purpose that isn't suitable for an external API user (For exmaple, there is a Google Sitemap view, which is used for Google.)
