Quote from: DinoToyCollector on December 08, 2024, 01:37:53 PMAlright,
I've uploaded the new site! It's not fully at the 2.0 status yet, but you'll get the idea. At the moment, I'm troubleshooting a few issues that popped up after going live (for example, the search bar isn't working as it should—grrr...).

The site also has a new look, and I hope you'll get used to it in no time!


Looks nice and modern and seems easy to navigate. One thing: For PNSO and Haolonggood figures, it displays these first names they have been given instead of the species name on top. This makes it a bit cumbersome. Maybe this can still be modified.

hi, thanks for the work!
is it possible to make it such way that i see only companies that are in my collection/wishlist when i am in my collection/wishlist page? like it was before

Congrats on the new site layout release. I think later today I'll try it out more, and get some of those new figures I've been behind on up. Still recovering from a severe burnout phase.

Things I think I'm behind on:

-finishing adding Bandai stuff
-remaining new Paleozoo figures
-remaining 2023 and 2024 Takara Tomy
-Mojo Fun 2025 Cryptoclidus and Carnotaurus
-Haolonggood Majungasaurus and upcoming Styracosaurus
-Kaiyodo 2024 (still no luck on finding good quality single figure images for those expo figures, hence why I've held off adding them for so long)
-upcoming or already released Mattel
-CollectA terror bird and Maip
-Schleich 2025
-remaining 2024 Recur releases (T rex, Spinosaurus, Therizinosaurus)
-Rebor PP T rex
-Creative Beast 1/18 Smilodon

Am I missing anything else from other brands (other then old stuff, like Recur I still had yet to get to overhauling and adding)?

avatar_Samrukia @Samrukia Thanks. I somehow thought I had that one up already, but nope still have to add it.

avatar_DinoToyCollector @DinoToyCollector Could we get a way to sort by line/series again in wishlist, if not elsewhere as well? I also noticed sort by company is missing the desc option.

hi, thanks for the work!
is it possible to make it such way that i see only companies that are in my collection/wishlist when i am in my collection/wishlist page? like it was before

in general, i think it would make more sense to show only those categories (company, year, group, etc) in the drop-down menu, that apply to figures one has in their wishlist/collection

for example, i want to see what ceratopsians i have in my collection, i click on the group drop-down menu and i have to scroll down thru all those groups that i don't even have in my collection

Well it appears there's no way for me to add figures now (was actually about to add the Haolonggood figures to start with). The old 2023 link I had bookmarked no longer works, and there's no link to the 2024 database editor on my profile like there was on the old site (and the link to it in my browsing history also no longer works).

I should have read the thread before sending you a PM avatar_Faelrin @Faelrin
I had issues with the PHP version of my servers and now you should be able to access the backend via the new link.

avatar_Samrukia @Samrukia
The exact filter applying to the wishlist and collection will appear within the next update this coming week.
It is a more complex Query that will need some careful testing :)

I've already spotted and noted the following issues:
- Searchbar not working
- Filter for sub group/family not working
- dependent filter for collection/wishlist
- realtime rating
- not going to page 1 after applying a filter therefore it appears blank
- sort by Company DESC

Faelrin

I forgot to ask in my message I just sent to you, but how do I got about adding images to newly added figures (or old ones)?

You can Upload pictures now in the backend. Simply drag and drop them when editing or adding a new item. I set a limit of 6 pictures for now. You won't see any message but I can assure you they will be uploaded. Best feature I think is: Naming! You don't have to worry about giving the picture the right name anymore. The system will now automatically name the files. I hope this will ease the process of adding new images :) I also made changes to the backend as you suggested.

Thanks for letting me know that's how it is to be done these days. I'll need to adapt to that since I'm so used to the old method, but it's much more modern in turn.

Edit: Thanks for the other updates too. Much appreciated.

Okay I got the images for the Haolonggood figures added, added the Recur 2024 Tyrannosaurus, Spinosaurus, and Therizinosaurus, Rebor Tyrannosaurus Kiss (Island), Creative Beast Studios BotC Smilodon (1/18), and some updates for their figures (mostly missing period info), Mojo Fun 2025 Cryptoclidus and Carnotaurus, CollectA Maip and Phorusrhacos. After midnight here, so I'm not sure how much more I'll do for now, but at least it's a bunch of updates and additions anyways. Also working on adding the remaining 2024 Paleozoo models atm.

Edit: On second thought, I'll do the rest of the new Paleozoo models tomorrow. Too tired now. But new Charnia (Amber Lux) and Dimetrodon are up.

I did some small updates. Fixing the searchbar took longer than expected.

T @thomasw100
Have a look at the title of the figures now. I did a hyybrid version with having the Species going first and than showing the Product Name if it is different from the Species name. I think this is a good way to show the data.

This looks perfect now, very clean presentation.

I did some updates. avatar_Samrukia @Samrukia this should be what you were asking for, right?

Update:
- Filters now react to "Collection" or "Wishlist" selections.
- Images can now be enlarged when clicked for a better view.

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where the logout process was not redirecting correctly; it now returns users to the index page.

yup, that's exactly what i was asking for! thanks a lot, you're the best :)

once the DTC 2.0 is set and ready, it will become one hell of a stylish and functional database (it already was, to be honest)

by the way, do database managers have powers of removing some entries or only adding? i have few suggestions for some specific brand lines, but that's alright

thomasw100

I would have the question to what extent you want to include resin models? You have some like from MuSee studio, but not their complete line. Also not a few other studios like Linghu, De Clay that produce at last some decent quantities. It is of course pointless to include any custom 3D printed stuff as this keeps changing.
