In this topic requests for a new field can be reported in this section.
Clearly explain the purpose and use of such a new field.
Does not mean that this will be automatically honored.
We cannot provide a schedule for any adjustment.

Maybe an idea, if those fields are ever addressed:
some fields in general, everywhere, provided. But don't show everywhere (not in use everywhere). Might make it easier if the catalog, across all headings, has a certain set of fields 'in common'. Title, language, nominal value, EAN code, Theme, Series, Sequence number in the series, Designer, Publisher, Year, Month, Day, .... In certain sections, sooner or later the question could but also add eg the field theme. If the seeds have already been planted ...  In the front-end that name does not have to be used. An EAN field at Video Games can be called ISBN for books or comics. Designer can be called Designer/engraver for stamps, Series can be called Issue for stamps, Nominal value can be called 'Stated sales price' for comics (pre-printed sales price on the comic album), ...
Maybe also make it easier for new sections (base set of fields is already there, with their processing code).
Maybe also make it easier to retrieve wrongly deported items (Ruanda-Urundi tax stamps that were peddled to damnation, unable to return because the most important properties have been lost as a result).
As said in the beginning: it's just an idea.

Raoul62 That is certainly a logical and good idea. We have also been working on it in the past, but never fully continued unfortunately. But we will probably succeed.

You would also like to have a central list of some fields, such as Country, Theme, etc., so also centralize the content of such a field. We have already been busy with Land there. What you do see is that countries that have since disappeared are relevant for some sections (such as for postage stamps) but that are not relevant in other sections (in Video games, for example).

Country is then an auxiliary table (tbl_hlp_country).

A table has several fields: ID, ISOcode, LNDcode, value, short text, long text, continent, grouping, usage, ...
The filling of a 'Country' list is done via a standard routine (or function), called with a parameter. Eg: Recent, Old ... That can then be taken from the 'grouping' field. With code the ISO code can be included, with LNDcode the abbreviation on the car license plates, ... Perhaps there are also collectors of license plates (I also have those whims :)). There are 11 on LD. Search search search, and you will find them one day ... with a separate section, guaranteed super fast success.
With Werelddeel you can then possibly do display things in the navigation or in the stats. Short text if there is little space on a list or screen, long text if the circumstances allow or require it, ... Plenty of possibilities. The size of the boxes on the Community are not adjusted to what I can think of. One data field, one routine, controlled from one table.
'Recent' for categories such as eg Video Games, '*' for eg coins, 'Old' for eg Stamps (is a fairly modern invention).
A complete matrix with all categories is also possible, but then the table is volatile in both dimensions. Compromise is one field with a 'Group' or 'Degree'. A few more countries in a selection list Country in a category is not so bad. You will still see them appear (as both user and/or administrator) and you can correct them if necessary. Sometimes someone clicks an item too high or too low, or plays with robot sequences. Eg 'Series' in 'Kind' at 'Stamps' = click on the list and press S twice in succession. Se-tenant is the first, Series is the second. If suddenly an S species intervenes alphabetically ...
Should a country/area be added? Then someone neatly completes the table with a line of data. Will then be neatly available everywhere in the sections where necessary (based on the data from that line).
And everywhere an immediate impact on the filter options (left part of the gallery).

tbl_hlp_thema ditto. Instead of 'continent' there is of course another logical consolidation. Eg. a 'main theme' column containing eg Flora (for mushrooms, flowers, roses, trees, spruces, pines, blades of grass, ...). Anyone who has a theme collection of Flora in stamps will also want to include the mushrooms in a selection, for example. Here and there, where I added 'Flora' to the theme 'Mushrooms', I see that theme being systematically refused (red). Too bad if you collect theme Flora ... Then you have to go through all the themes and get all those different selections in separate screens next to each other on the computer screen. So you add the overlap. With a consolidation group (in the filters on the left) you immediately solve that discussion. One table, saved everywhere.

A full matrix with all headings is also possible, but then the table is volatile in both dimensions.

This sentence already indicates that it is a complex subject I think :-)
But we will certainly realize a central country list, theme list, etc.

I especially liked the multidimensional aspect of the volatility Morits 
(and that in the full matrix of course)

It makes me happy that my writing is read carefully, and that afterwards comes the realization that you actually have to think about it a bit (snigger chuckle)

I always read it very carefully Raoul62 !
And in this case I'm already thinking about this sentence alone, I don't think it's figured out yet :-)

Actually more for the LD cafe but still... think about this one.

A dimension is a state of consciousness that is available to a certain group. This dimension vibrates in resonance with certain frequencies, allowing you to experience it. You can think of a dimension as a field of existence within the universe with different rules of play in which you can experience and create with the aim of growing spiritually.

The matrix (table) has only 2 directions (dimensions): horizontal (lines) and vertically (columns).

In other words, if both records (lines) and fields (columns) can be added (play, movement, volatile) in a table, then you have a lot of leg maintenance afterwards.
It really is that simple.

Triggered by the response from Phonocard, which also mentioned the Gift Cards, the following fields have been added to the Gift Cards section:
  • Series
  • Number in Series
  • Add number
  • Theme
  • The Dimensions field is gone, all cards have credit card (ISO) format.

Are these enough fields?
The Title field exists, but is not visible. Is there anyone with historical knowledge who knows why this field is not visible? If we were to make Title visible now, it would be blank for each item.

Thank you Collectioneur the first ones have already been changed, so we can slowly set all years correctly, this also benefits the Marketplace, the Title field is indeed not yet active.
The number addition is not visible under the item!?

Collectioneur Phonocard
Can someone explain in a clear way how to properly read and enter the serial number?

Looking at the catalog now, it is unclear to me which part of the numerical series this is

Or does this also differ per organization/publisher?

johan1614 The systems of serial numbers / card numbers are different, there is not an unambiguous system, everything will slowly be introduced correctly, for example, what is now in the new style is the Czech Republic Starbucks https://www.lastdodo.nl /nl/areas/2517409-czech republic?cf%5B8961%5D=3754843
Duplicate cards will also disappear if they are printed in one edition, such as some HEMA and Starbucks cards, International Starbucks cards only concern the first 4 digits (#36574661) 6005 is the series , with Czech Starbucks cards it is again 3 series of 4 digits ( #5934701 ), 0022 which is the card number .
At the Bijenkorf ( #5263319 ) 9010 is the sequence (all the same) and for example 0000001 is the card number.
Little by little it will become clear what the differences are and what to watch out for, many importers have also used a lot of cards that do not match the item, so it will be quite a search job that is not done just like that , all the same backs will have to be removed and someone will have to enter the correct back to get a good catalog.

Just a pity that the added number is not (yet) visible and that they automatically get in chronological order does not (yet) work.

The help texts for the input fields are still missing.
There is also a technical error, so that the number addition is not yet visible in the galleries.

Thanks for your explanation.

It then seems that it is (at least for me) virtually impossible to see the correct site, as this requires clear and specific knowledge.

I'm going to take another look at the situation with the cards I have in my collection

johan1614 Most collectors go for the picture, specialists can almost only be found at Starbucks cards, which are collected most fanatically.
Pretty much the degradation in collectors with gift cards:
1. Image, year, reprint, serial numbers, misprints, proofs.
2. Picture, year.
3. Picture.
Some save only advertising cards, others only Christmas cards, one only the Netherlands, the other also another country and some the whole world.
At least 2000 cards from the Bijenkorf are completely unknown, these are almost all advertising card issues and virtually impossible to obtain.

At least it keeps things exciting for the gift card collector :-)

If you have more tips or ideas for expansion, feel free to report them here.

Have fun collecting
