Sugar Packets New NIF

[tuixons]

Hello Campos.

I imported 12 sachets of sugar in your country.

ok you think?

[tcawe]

I've removed 7 manufacturers not used anymore. You can check the backend list and possibly update the NIF.

I haven't yet added the option to add "Set", it'll be added if in the NIF.

Navigation is as requested and has to be the same throughout the category.

The category is still hidden. Let me know when it's good enough to become public.

[tcawe]

"Set" can now be renamed and added from the editing interface.

Please mind the drop-down list will show ALL "sets" and NOT only sets belonging to a "Series". This shuold be fixed in the future but meanwhile simply be careful.

Thanks

Amir, I still don't see that "Set" feature, maybe will be available in a few hours, right?

Please mind the drop-down list will show ALL "sets" and NOT only sets belonging to a "Series". This shuold be fixed in the future but meanwhile simply be careful.

I'm not sure this is what we want, Amir. The "Set" drop-down list should show sets belonging to a Country because Set names are Country specific. It doesn’t make sense to give a German Set name to a Spanish Set, for example. Have in mind that I am referring to Set names that are "officially" in each country, that is, for Portugal, for example, I will add the Set name that has been defined and accepted by most (or even all) Portuguese collectors. If a Set has no name, I will not give it a name of my own, maybe I would put "Not defined yet" or something like that. For Sets from other countries, I suggest we try to contact a collector of that country and ask him.

I think there still may be some confusion between the definitions of “Set”, “Series”, “Tag” and “Theme” here, in this category. Let me see if I can help on this. This is my understanding of this terms.

Set – A group of packets of the same brand, normally made at the same time, with common characteristics and theme. They can be numbered. Usually it is defined as Set by the manufacturer.

Series – Was something like a Set at the beginning because the word may be the same in several languages (in Portugal we have “Série”). Now (in sugars) is a group of packets of the same or different brand, made at different occasions, usually with different characteristics but similar theme. Defined as Series by collectors.

Tag – General definition to group all kind of packets, of any brand, made at any time, belonging to a Set or not, that have printed something in common.

Theme – The same as Tag, in fact, that will be the future name to use in Colnect (according to what I have read)

Hello Campos.

I imported 12 sachets of sugar in your country.

ok you think?

Thanks tuixons. It seems they are ok, they appear in the proper place, which is my main concern at this stage. Some minor things need to be corrected, but some I can't do it via editor: accentuation on brands and manufacturers "Delta Cafés", “Camelo Cafés”, “Alcântara”, “Torrefacção Camelo”. I don’t know if your keyboard language allows you to add that.

[ajcampos]

Tuixons, I am updating the Portuguese packets, including the rotation of the back images of other countries, as we agreed.

I noticed in the last 12 from Portugal you entered you put the Set as “Christmas”. Since they are single packets (nominatives), you have grouped them in the series “Holidays”, which I think is ok. So, they should not have any Set. And this give me an idea that could easy the work for Amir.

If we define the Series field only for the Nominatives and the Set field only for the Sets, that will be easy to separate the packets in the respective sections (Complete Sets and Nominatives).

If we want to view Complete Sets and Nominatives together, we can choose one Tag/Theme. One example: imagine you had in the catalogue the Christmas Set from Delta Cafés of 2010. Then, you want to see all packets from Portugal related to theme Christmas… easy, if those 12 nominative packets you added and the Set Delta Christmas 2010 have the tag “Christmas” (which all should have), they will appear listed together when you select that tag. And you have another advantage… if you mark more tags on those packets (remember you can mark until 8 tags for each packet) you can create more views. For example, if you also add tags “Feasts” and “Holidays” to all of them, you can view them together with Easter packets, if they also have these tags (and they should have).

Amir, I think the following tags don’t exist in the list. Tuixons, do you remember now any other to add?

- Holidays

- Easter

Tags can be added using the backend interface ("Editors" tab).

I didn't mix "Set" and "Series" but it's an editing glitch that is meanwhile present but won't affect the results of the edit.

[ajcampos]

Amir, the backend is something availabe to me, as Editor, or just to the Coordinators? I don't see it in any place.

[tcawe]

Backend is available to coordinators but you do have coordinator permissions. When you and tuxions are both in sync, you can also get there and do imports yourself. Perhaps meanwhile it's best that you pass all requests to him so there won't be any misunderstandings.

[ajcampos]

Thanks Amir. Yes, at least for now, I don't have access to backend and that's ok, I just wanted to help tuixons, since I guess he has many things to do... that's why I'm not sending more NIFs. But I'll do it shortly...

[tuixons]

Hello Amir.

Let us finish updating everything up to now have in the catalog, put before the category to the public.

thanks

[ajcampos]

Greetings...

Tuixons, I think that's it. Tags (future Themes) in the beginning would be great.

Amir, noticed availability to add the Sets name, however, I think it's not a good idea to have this field translatable, remember this names are country specific and most of them wouldn't make sense translated, it's like the name of the packet.

There is some strange behavior now in the navigation (I think in all countries - tried 3). When we click on the Set name or even on a Series name, it appears an extra step with one entry only - "Wildflowers". We have to click on it to show the packets. Do you have the same problem, tuixons?

Amir, can you please check? Thanks

[ajcampos]

Trying to understand want could be wrong, I changed some Set names... now, instead of "Wildflowers" we see "Poesia à mesa II".

[tcawe]

OK. Let me know when you've reached a decision on what should be changed. I've yesterday fixed the navigation bug and it now works as initially expected.

Country list -> Series list (split by series type) -> Set list -> Packet list
