Did you use Access?  


Seriously guys! Mark hates microsoft products a lot and would NEVER use one in a website Smiley It's just code - php XHTML, PHP, CSS, mySQL and JavaScript - anything he can use in notepad... nothing that requires loading anything more complicated than that Wink

U will learn, practise makes perfect. I like dreamweaver sometimes for html, but PHP just has to be done in notepad 4 me, i dont like the way dreamweaver puts a yellow little "P" in the way.

edit:
Roz, I think they mean were the prices/data saved in access??? MySql is what was used, I suppose its similar as access is the microsoft equivilent to saving data and accessing it with sql commands, but MySql is easier to combine with http servers and PHP as that is what it was made for. anyway, thats not what this post is about.

The price guide is a great idea, i like it alot.

Okay I think your done a fantastic job.

I only have one little nit picking thing. When you go to print the pages out like I did the other night it cuts the images off on the right had side. Would you be able to code it so it printed to fit on an a4 page.

That would be my only thing I would recommend as a possible enhancement.

Other than that I appreciate how much time and effort you have put into doing this project and us collectors will certainly use it.

I could put a "printable page" option... but which page was it you were having trouble printing? I'd like to try it for myself Smiley Cheers...

Hi,

what do you think? When will we get the changes you announced? I mean the two pages with the article number only on page one to check if the auction is just inside?

It's already in place - if you go to submit auction on the left hand side!

I'll alert Mark to the fact you do not get that screen if you initially go from the card page.

Cheers

Hmm that was harder than I thought! But it's OK I've made it so it works when you click through from the card now as well Smiley Enjoy

It was when I went to print out the lists of the cards with the images on for both series.

Not sure how practical it is, but would it be worth including a box/case breakdown section in the price guide with a summary analysis?

What we could do is provide a tick box list of what cards are in each set and then a number box. You tick if you got one of that card in your case and then next to it say how many you got - in the case of Lupin shirts you should allow for up to 10 a case (I am kidding).

It would work fine on case by case breakdowns already posted but those lumped into "this is the contents of my 4 cases" would be a little more confusing and probably not so easy to incorporate at this stage!

I like the idea tho Smiley to preserve case contents lists.

It could also produce a standard output list we could then post in the case break thread if you liked...

What do you guys think ? (Mark won't answer til Sunday eve now at the earliest)

I think that is really cool and would work well - you could also hook the contents into the price guide and give the case breakdown a "value" - although given the case breakdowns people are reporting this might end up being on the depressing side.

Would it be possible to add a link on the front page of the guide to a straight list of the cards and print runs?  Roz has an update list somewhere in the middle of the overview thread, but it's hard to find.

There is a link to a list of all the cards on the front page... but not the print runs.  Is that basically how many were printed?

Sorry if I wasn't clear.  By print run, I meant how many of each card was produced -- marauder's map is # out of 500, for example.

I was looking for a simple list, no pictures, with all of the cards in the set and numbers, sort of like a checklist.  If you want to do this, I could write it up for you so you don't have to go through the trouble.
