I thought this would be a neat feature to have:

I belong to a comic collecting website aswell, and if, say, you own Action Comics #455, and there isn't a scan, It has a little check by the 'needs scan' field. Could this be implimented with the collection database? It would help, so that we don't have to keep looking around and stuff on the whole website.

Thanks

This seems like a feature that wouldn't take long to add and would be useful for those who submit scans.  I'll see if I can whip something up tomorrow.

Edit: I was able to get a working prototype up and working, but I haven't merged it into the main script yet.  I should be able to get to it before the end of the week.

Nice work Eddie.

Cool, thanks for trying my idea! ;D

Very cool.

Looking foreward to seeing it :)

Likewise :)

Cool

Sorry for the delay, it's worked in now.

Just use this link to find the games in your collection that still need scans/screenshots.

Nice work Eddie!!!!!

Thank you so much. Now my image scanning will be much more streamlined and efficient. ;D

Thanks again stormtk421

PS: Are you a self taught perl programmer, or did you take a class/classes? The site is mostly bug free, whitch is very good! :slick:

Self-taught, and if the site is bug free, it's because of a lot of trial and error :)

One last thing to add.   I extended the feature to only show "needed" scan links for games which you own (have a QTY field of at least 1).  Or if it needs a manual scan, it will show the needed link if you have at least 1 in the manual field.

I understand! That last bit is quite clever.

Will there be a link somewhere in the actual collection software to see that view?

Thanks

Great job, Eddie.  I hope that last bit wasn't too much trouble. 

Awesome job Eddie!  I just discovered that a few scans in the US NES database are missing (I was pretty sure we had completed this section with scans a while back, tho). 

The link for this feature (and several others that don't have homes yet) will be added to a special page that will be added to the collection tools.  I'm planning on getting this new page out, along with some other new features, before the end of the year.

In the meantime, just use the links in this thread.  You can bookmark them if you don't feel like navigating the forums to find them.

I should expound upon Eddie's statement, We are currently in the process of redoing (for the last time) the way that variants are entered per the input of our staff. As that will cause certain things to behave differently, we have to hold off on adding new things that will need to be changed right after the new variation system goes live, (think December).

Cool. Thanks for hearing out my idea's. :D

Dang, this suggestion has gotten to be 2 pages long. A world record, perhaps. ;D
