Title: VGCollect Version 2 BETA is here!
Post by: matt on July 01, 2013, 09:00:08 pm
Well at long last, here is VGCollect version 2 BETA!

So as most of you know, a month back I set myself a hard deadline and have been working hard trying to meet that goal. The deadline had to be set or else this day would have never come. That being said, there are a lot of things that I wasn't able to squeeze in to this release. Before I go into new features, let me just start listing things that don't work as of right now.

Feed
Badges and User profiles
Advanced Search
Removing items from collection wish list, sell list
New game submissions
New game edits
Pagniation
Responsive design
and on and on and on.

Some of these are huge and I know some of you are probably asking why I just didn't push this back a bit more. The truth is that I had to push it out. It's been sitting here and you guys have been patiently waiting for it.

So here is the plan. I'm going to be pushing out updates all night (and throughout the rest of this week) to get us back up and running at 100%.

Until now, feel free to fill this thread with any issue you have found. I will do my best to address everything in a timely manner.

The good news is that we finally have a stable foundation to build on. The backend that powers VGCollect is now up to date and ready to handle our growth.

Thanks again for all your support. The community here exceeds my expectations on a daily basis. Keep up the good work and I'll do the same.

Now I have some coding to do...

Thanks,
Matt

guess that means we're all stripped of our admin titles

it's been fun, guys

(on a serious matter, looks like the site signature is dead too, but it should probably have a new design anyhow. Someone should toss it over to me and I'll take care of it.)

It looks good. I'm looking forward to playing with the search.

Let us now when the transmogrification update is live.

Just fixed admins now too.

Currently working on user registration and item edits.

Thanks for working on this. Many sites like this promise updates and fixes, but often procrastinate forever before doing anything. So it really instills confidence knowing that VGCollect backs up what they promise.

Thanks and thanks! VGCollect isn't going anywhere and will only keep getting better and better. It's been a rough few weeks. Between this, work, social life and being in the process of buying a home. I'm literally had no time. I'll be taking a vacation once this task list is slimmed down.

Partially my fault. We had a b-day BBQ at my house on Saturday. If I had left him chained to his desk the list would be much smaller. :)

When I try to look a category in my collection (i.e. SNES) I can only see the first page. The pages only move you through your entire collection.

Just came here to say this, too.

Except with PS2. I own no SNES games. :P

Standard search seems to be broken too, I get a results page with an amount of games, but nothing is displayed.

Follower / Following doesn't seem to work either, it keeps showing me -my own- pages.

Whatcha mean by the search?

All the other ones are known and are on my list.

This (http://vgcollect.com/search/romancing+saga+2) says there's 10 results, but shows nothing.

This (http://vgcollect.com/search/romancing) shows 4 results. And it says there's 10 results.

This shows a ton of results (http://vgcollect.com/search/fighters) but still, it says there's 10 results.

I just fixed all of the Add Buttons on the item pages. Those should all work now.

Whoops, that was me. I was going to say something, but nothing updated for me on my side. Seriously, it's still the pixel logo for me, oddly. If it has to be changed, just change all instances of "font-family: Open Sans;" back to Arial or whatever the original was.

EDIT: okay NOW it's updated for me. And it looks good, you guys ;) ;)

Edit: I'm not sure if it's a known issue or not but the next button to scoll through my collection just keeps taking me back to the first page.

I reverted it back for now. Feel free to work on your updates just don't publish anything yet. Way too many other things are broken right now.

I know you have tons of other stuff you are working on but I want to write these suggestions down before I forget:

- Be able to click to the next page at the bottom of the page as well as the top
- Be able to select the number of items displayed at a time

It's looking really fresh! Nice :) I noticed the alternate title headings are missing  :o

Will the "Shelf" feature be back? I really really enjoyed viewing my collection with that realistic style!  :D

Great work Matt!!  ;D

The numbered index at the top of the wishlist only links to your collection. So if you wish list spans more then one page you can't scroll to the next page.
Title: Re: VGCollect Version 2 BETA is here!
Post by: slackonic on July 02, 2013, 07:23:09 am
My "all platforms" list appears to leave titles out where the page-breaks occur. For instance, I can see Double Dragon on my NES list, but it disappears when I look at my All Platforms list.

This has been corrected.

The numbered index at the top of the wishlist only links to your collection. So if you wish list spans more then one page you can't scroll to the next page.

This is almost fixed. You can now navigate properly up until you get near the end of your pages.

You're probably aware of this already, but some categories aren't displaying all entries. For example, I have 54 SNES games in my collection, but when viewing only the SNES games in my collection, it will only display the first 2 pages (50 items) and the last 4 games are missing, as there is no way to get to the 3rd page.

I'm sure you're aware of it and going to be fixing it soon, just wanted to make sure. Everything is looking really good though! Nice work!

Also, I noticed that the navigation on my wishlist has been changed. Now there are letters instead of numbers, and I like it! Much easier to find that one specific game. But when clicked on a letter, it takes me to my collection with the following errors:

I think you must have hit the item page as I was pushing out a new update. Please try again and let me know if there is still an issue.

So far I'm liking the new layout. I know it's not 100% done and that there will be some growing pains. I can't see my wish list...
But all in due time.  :)

Ok so I just added my first item since the move over, and it doesn't look like some of my choices are persisting. I've added the item with the date purchased, price, comments and the "other details" all filled out, but it's not keeping my date purchased and other details fields. I go back in and those fields are blank, while price and comment are still filled in..

This particular item is again the super game boy. It's CIB so all the other details should be clicked and the date should be filled out for June 25, 2013.

You're right. Working on fixing this now!

EDIT: and fixed. It wasn't an issue with saving the data, just editing it.

I'm kinda mixed on the new look, Just gotta get used to it.
A few things I noticed.

- The category links on Sell List do not work. They take you to your collection instead of sell list. 

- the game pictures like front, back, cart/disc. You need to be able to click the thumbnails and make back & cart/disc larger.

- There's no page links on the bottom of the browse pages. They only appear on collection pages. Just a pain to scroll back up.

- Longer game titles seem not to be centered correct, they appear under the game and not next to it like that rest.

- Would like to see in settings how many games appear on your page. Old version has 50 a page, new has 25. I'd like to see we can choose in our setting how many we want to see at once. 25, 50, 75, 100.

- What happened to the link to see who had that item in their collection or if someone had one on their sell list?

- The compare button. If you bring this back please have options. The first version only showed what you both had in your entire collection. I'd like to compare what we are missing and even compare game categories, like seeing what SNES games my friend has I don't.

- Another suggestion is an Order button on entire collections and categories. I know a lot of local game collectors in my area and would be nice to see their list and see what they just picked up.

Well those are what I noticed so far, Hope to see much of these issues fixed and maybe see some/all of my suggestions in place.

- the game pictures like front, back, cart/disc. You need to be able to click the thumbnails and make back & cart/disc larger.  (this is on the list)

- There's no page links on the bottom of the browse pages. They only appear on collection pages. Just a pain to scroll back up. (i'll get this added)

- Longer game titles seem not to be centered correct, they appear under the game and not next to it like that rest. (noted)

- Would like to see in settings how many games appear on your page. Old version has 50 a page, new has 25. I'd like to see we can choose in our setting how many we want to see at once. 25, 50, 75, 100.  (this will be in the new settings page)

- What happened to the link to see who had that item in their collection or if someone had one on their sell list? (coming soon as well)

- The compare button. If you bring this back please have options. The first version only showed what you both had in your entire collection. I'd like to compare what we are missing and even compare game categories, like seeing what SNES games my friend has I don't. (this will be coming back as well)

- Another suggestion is an Order button on entire collections and categories. I know a lot of local game collectors in my area and would be nice to see their list and see what they just picked up.  (the new Feed are will cover this when it goes live next week)

Well those are what I noticed so far, Hope to see much of these issues fixed and maybe see some/all of my suggestions in place.
 

See my notes above. I think everything you are looking for is planned and should be back within a week or two!

Clicking on certain spots (NES games for example) where the name is too long (Nintendo entertainment system) doesnt show the number of items I have cause it cuts off. Can we shorten some of the actual names?

An other problem I'm finding is nothing in browse shows whats in my collection. also nothing has a note of any kind it's in my collection. So if I search a game to see if its in my collection there's nothing telling me I have it.  :-[

Just logged back in and, wow, what a treat! It's always fun rolling out new stuff and then trying to figure out why it won't play nice with the other components. Shoot, I've had several instances at the TV station where we drop in a new component and suddenly it's "Why are the colors inverted on the main channel? And what happened to closed captioning?!"

You're doing fine work and it makes me proud to be a member of this site.

On a side note, got this error when I clicked on my Wishlist, expanded the Sega Master System drop down and selected any other page besides Page 1 from the bottom of the page navigators:

Code: [Select]
A Database Error Occurred

Error Number: 1064

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 4

SELECT c.*, g.image FROM wishlist c LEFT JOIN games g on g.id = c.game_id WHERE c.id =

Filename: /nfs/c09/h04/mnt/138266/domains/vgcollect.com/html/models/item_model.php

Line Number: 80

All of the stuff on my SMS Wishlist fits on one page, which would explain why it can't find anything for the additional pages. It does this on my Vectrex Wishlist, too.

First of all thanks for the fixes on many of the things I've noticed in the new layout.

Another fix is the display of how many people have a game in their collection. Kinda cool to see just how many people own a game. Kinda lets us know whats popular or rare.

drats! I was afriad that this would happen to people with smaller screen resolution. I'll have to come up with a solution. Later tonight you'll be able to edit these things from the actual item page as well as the main collection page. That should hold you over until I get a better fix in place.

It -is- working for me. It's just that when you edit an item, the release date isn't shown correctly in the edit page.

Edit: Welp, nope, seems like dates are broken for me too.
