PCDB v2 Progress Update

[badpete69]

So what happened to the comments section where we could make comments on decks in our collection. It took me one month to enter each deck with a special code which locates the deck in my shelves. These comments seem to have disappeared

I guess bottom line question is can you make comments on your own decks in your collection?

Oh yeah, I see that now too! That's kind of a big deal. Hopefully he ported it over so the data is there, but just has to update the front end to support it. I know he just added labels for some of the other fields that were there so it's possible the front end and editing UI has to be developed, but the data is still there and it's on the way. At least I hope so... Rhu?

Well if it doesnt work I guess it is only 400 decks to go through again... but the 1100 in waiting will wait a little more hehe

As those of you who have been able to get password reset and logged into the new system start messing around (FYI - unofficially the new domain is working too: http://portfolio52.com/), we are bound to come across some bugs and missing features previously available. If you do, please report as a new thread with title of 'DEFECT - <descriptive title>' or 'LOST FEATURE - <descriptive title>' in this proper sub forum - Support Requests / Bug Reports. There's a number of them we already know about and probably some Rhu is aware of, but lets get them documented here for Rhu and also for the rest of us so it's clear what we know and and don't know and status of fixes. Once confirmed fixed we can prefix "CLOSED: " to the thread title as before.

If you have any additional feature requests, they will be a lower priority given Rhu needs to get the new hosting up and running on the new version fully and then address bugs, but you can continue to post those here as a new thread - Feature Requests

Lastly, a few of you have reported problems getting password reset and into the new system, but quite a few have. My assumption is those that had problems either didn't follow instructions (they are confusing), the link sent was lost or in spam folder or perhaps they tried requesting it during downtime or config change. Knowing who has gotten in and who hasn't would help in identification for Rhu.

The new system is STILL very much in BETA status and ability to add new decks and other features are still being worked or hidden and being privately tested. Proceed with caution, but have a look around and report any clear issues you find. Thanks, and thanks for your patience and understanding with this downtime and new system.

Yikes! I never thought this was actually being used. We implemented a drag and drop feature for organising decks so I took out the custom fields.

I have an old database from May 1st, so as a one off I could get all of this data back for you. No idea where I would put it in the new site though But this would need to wait until we're stable again since I really need to fix the high priority bugs first.

Rhu.. It's OK If it is a field that wasn't really meant to be used, than its OK. I can create a spreadsheet of my own and re type my locations. I had shown my wife the database and told here where she could find my hundreds of decks in case I got hit by a bus. Don't bother re-creating that field I'll do it on my own in excel

Great site so far. Quick comment When you hover over a deck to see the back, I hate that semi invisible box that pops up and hide most of the back. Is there a way to make that smaller?

Rhu already gave permission to share this, but I was holding out waiting for the link to just appear and since that's not yet ready I decided since testing done by myself and a few others seems to work OK and I trust you all...here's the direct link to add new decks to the new Portfolio52. Eventually we'll have a proper link or button within the system, but go ahead and start adding or re-adding decks. Just be sure to follow our established guidelines as usual and SEARCH well for a deck before adding. Also, don't neglect those new fields! http://unitedcardists.com/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=7241
