Hi guys,
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this question. If it is not, please move it.
Our guys were thinking about what games we should have installed for FITES? Someone had the thought that it would be cool to be able to view the Steam Games that we all have access to? We know we can see all the games of Fites members, but I was wondering if it would be possible to view the same info based on a group or team? Is there an API I could hook into to do it myself or could that be a it be a FITES option to view the games a clan has, as long as the clan uses the same clan tag?

You'd have to do it through the steam API. There is currently no way of doing that type of grouping in our system currently.

After a nice hot shower this morning I thought of a possible way of making this happen. Give me a little bit and I'll get back with you.
The idea is to allow the text fuzzy search to also include names. Not sure how well it will work with the current setup because of how the data is stored and retrieved (datatables).
So instead of the search box only looking through games it will also look through names. Might add it as a checkbox.

Ok, on http://intranet.fites.net/steamgames (http://intranet.fites.net/steamgames) there is now a checkbox to also filter by names.
I have the script updating names and gameslists from the SteamAPI, but I've already been running into it telling me to slow down. So it might be a while before it's more accurate. (It only picks up people who have signed into the intranet and have a public profile.)
So if you check the box for "Search Usernames As Well?" and enter say "(503)" without quotes it would display the games of everyone with (503) in their name, but the side effect if there was a game with (503) in the name you'd also see that game.

If you are looking to compare a smaller group I could suggest: https://steamparty.azurewebsites.net/ (https://steamparty.azurewebsites.net/)
It's a bit easier to look at comparing groups.

Nice work...and that was fast.
I get the caveat that it will search game names as well, but that is ok. If you have a unique enough clan tag, it won't be a problem.
Thanks for the link too. I did some searching, but I didn't find that one. I found another crappy one that didn't do the job.
Thanks for working on this. It is a nice touch to have it in the site.

No problem! Glad it works for ya.
I figured I'd give the other link because I REALLY like how it sorts by play time. I just couldn't get that built into ours.

Well done sir! I love me some DataTables
