Whenever I come to https://rankoverflow.philnet.ch/scoreboard , now its only showing the top 3(before was showing top 10) and then the "show all" button doesn't do anything, not even throwing any console error

As reported here.

Cross-issue of SOBotics/CheckYerFlags#55.

Reported by dippas in SOBotics. After putting in an user profile URL and clicking on the button to calculate, the loader never dissappears.

As requested in chat, users should be linked by their profile id.

Generating the scoreboard on the server-side would enhance the site workflow in serveral ways:

• No exposed fkey from the site's JS code
• Improved stability due to the removed client-side code and removal of a API method (which may fail)
• Faster speed due to missing client-side code

Getting CORS error whenever I enter the site:

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-beta.2/css/bootstrap.min.css. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed).

Currently, user that have unicode symbols in their name are stored and displayed wrongly.

As suggested in this comment, there should be a way users can start the process without the need to copy their user profile link every time, which can be achieved using the authentication functionality provided by the Stack Exchange API.

In order that we don't need to request write access or something like that from the users, we don't specify the scope parameter, as the following is stated in the authentication docs:

With an empty scope, authentication will only allow an application to identify a user via the /me method.

The /me method gives us all the information we need (the user id).

After the initial development of this project using PHP (to get the website's markup) and then parsing everything together using JavaScript and jQuery, I wasn't really happy with it because it's very hard to maintain in a state like that and easily leads to a broken page (see issue #2 for an example).

Due to that fact, I decided to rewrite everything in Python. That way, it would be much easier to parse the needed content using PyQuery and because that code would run server-side, no JS from the SE sites (which led and very likely would lead again to problems/bugs) would be executed.

I can't really give an ETA at this time, but you can subscribe to this issue and I'll add a comment once I started working on it.

The SO chatbot CheckYerFlags automatically checks the amount of helpful flags for a users in the SOBotics chat room.

A new subpage should rank the users according to their amount of total helpful flags.

For more information, see this cross-repo issue

Probably just a small counting mistake.

As requested on Stack Apps, a possibility to choose a specific SE site should be added.
This is not a hard thing to implement, since the change isn't so big. But there are two questions that we need to answer:

Do we really want to check all sites?

Concern:

If a beta site gets taken down or a new one starts, that would need a manual change, as the site switcher needs a change (we can't read the numeric site id from the API)

Solution:

For that start, I think it would be OK to only provide sites that have the largest userbase. Please suggest other sites you would like to be added from start.

Has the user really a profile on this page?

Concern:

With the SE authentication (#4), this would be rather easy since items array that the API returns just would be empty. If the user specifies a link or an id to a profile, we can't check that directly.

Solution:

In another project, I also needed to check the user id. This can be reused here.
