TOPIC: Token Collection/Trading System Now Up

Token Collection/Trading System Now Up 18 years 10 months ago #1

The token collection/trading system is now up.  The html is pretty ugly but it is functional -- I wanted to spend time "purtying" it up but I figured I can do that later if people like it and use it.<br /><br />There are three ways to get to the app:<br /><br />1) Click on the "View Token Collection" link under each poster's name on the left hand side of each post.  It will take you directly to the page to see that person's collection or lack thereof.<br /><br />2) From the "Memberlist" link at the top of every page on the forum you can select a username and then click on the "View Token Collection" link that is displayed on that user's profile page.<br /><br />3) Go to   http://truedungeon.com/mytokens <br /><br />NOTE: The app uses the forum's login information so if you are not logged in or you use another browser to view a collection you won't be able to edit your own collection.  There is no way to "create" a collection -- if you have a forum login then you automatically have a collection.<br /><br />In your collection you can enter how many tokens of each type that you own and how many you want to buy/sell.  The app is meant to be flexible so there are no checks to make sure you are selling more than you own, etc.  Once you enter your collection info and you want to buy/sell/trade you can use the Buy/Sell Matches link to automatically see who is selling tokens that you want to buy and buying tokens that you want to sell.<br /><br />Thanks to Gary, Doug Dequils and George for beta testing for me and thanks to Tom for quickly giving me access to be able to modify the forum pages (that was the purpose of Tom's testing posts today -- we were modifying the backend of the forum).<br /><br />I'm going to keep this topic as a sticky topic.  Let me know what you think about the app and if anyone wants to volunteer to come up with a more pleasing html wrapper let me know.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />- Doug Martin

Thanks! It's neat, although I did get some strange db errors while saving.

Could you add some of the out of print things? I didn't see 5gp Crystal, 10gp Citrine, and Scroll: Detect Secret Doors for example.

OH man! I can't wait to mess with this! thanks! :)

*oh boy, oh boy, oh boy...*

Suggestion!!!

You have

Potion: xxxx

etc listed...

Can we get them all done that way?

Item: xxxx
Gear: xxxx
Armor: xxxx
Weapon: xxxx

Just a thought. makes it easier to track. I'm doing ok as it is, but thought it might possibly make things easier.

Thanks!

Alright, it got easier to use pretty quickly.

The

Armor: xxx
Weapon: xxx
Item: xxx

etc isn't necessary, but may or may not be easier to use. *shrug*

Oh, I got a database error when I saved as well, but when I closed and reopened to view my collection, everything is there no problem.

Oh, and is there any chance to get the database sortable? Meaning, can I sort by "want to buy" or "want to sell" etc? Just wondered. Not a crisis of course but would be convenient.

I don't know if this is outside the scope of the app right now, but I don't see any rumors on the list. I also noticed that a lot of special stuff isn't on the list (like ring of regeneration, ring of three wishes, ...)

Oh yeah, I have a 9GP token as well. It seems to be from last year too.

I do believe scroll of light exists, but I may be wrong. But I think I remember that.

Doug...this is awesome! Thanks so much for getting this sucker done when I know you are a busy man. Let me know if you want to pretty it up...I can have some graphics done for it.

You might want to refer to the latest Token Guide that David has put together. It lists all the tokens ever made, and it might be good to include them...with some kind of marker for the year if possible.

Thanks again...I'll buy you some Quatros (best pizza ever) this summer!

Adding columns for 2003, 2004 and 2005 would be great!

This is a great application.

One thing you might consider is removing the row:

"Collector Wants To Buy View Collection Send Private Message "

before each item. One line at the top should be enough and simplify the output.
