New iPaB Feature

I wanted to announce a new feature to iPaB. Now on the summary page for each LEGO store, you can download the PaB summary page to a CSV file. This feature comes to you from a suggestion by Ronald -- you have him to thank.

So for instance, on the Frankfurt store, at the top there is a button to 'Download wall (to) CSV'. There should be room underneath each part description to make notes as to 'in-stock', 'empty', or the new part it's been changed to.

Unfortunately, the part names/descriptions are in English... but I have made some changes to the database to allow for German names/descriptions. My next task is to allow for a German version of the CSV file, but I need help translating the name/descriptions... in the mean time, I can work on making internationalizing changes to the web-site.

I have a request to allow for a 'LEGO store' blog, for lack of a better term; that allows anyone to make comments as to what new at their local LEGO store.

There's a request mark multiple containers as 'in-stock' or 'empty'... I like to get that one done this weekend if I have time.

--Mike.

Re: New iPaB Feature

Dear Mike

In my humble opinion it would be better to leave the descriptions in English to allow for consistency with Bricklink.

Kindest regards + thanks a bunch for your effort!

Re: New iPaB Feature

Hello Mike,

Personally I also think that English part names are sufficient. As someone else noted, BrickLink's part names are also in English and people got used to it. Even if there was a German translation, I would probably continue to use the English version in order to avoid confusion when switching between brickbuildr and bricklink. Also keep in mind: The more languages you support, the more involved it gets to keep all of them up to date when new things are added.

This is very useful, so I can easily import it into my own programs. Thanks to both of you!

By the way, it happens quite often that several different parts are put into the same PaB container. For example, just recently they have put two different kinds of black parts into one container of the Munich store. I'm aware that this would be rather difficult to implement with the current design of your web app, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. Maybe you've got an idea how to do this.

Best regards
Oliver

Hallo Michael,

» ...danke für die Info.

» Aber wer kann mir das übersetzen?

Mein Beitrag enthielt eigentlich gar keine Infos, insofern ist es eigentlich nicht notwendig, ihn im Detail zu übersetzen. Ich habe mich im wesentlichen nur bei Mike und Ronald bedankt und einen Verbesserungsvorschlag gemacht. Außerdem habe ich darauf hingewiesen, dass es meiner Meinung nach aus verschiedenen Gründen wenig Sinn ergibt, die Teilenamen auf brickbuildr ins Deutsche (oder irgendeine andere Sprache) zu übersetzen.

Viele Grüße
Oliver

Just trying to make it easier, but if that's the general consensus I'll leave it as is...

Yes, I've been thinking about this problem... There's been mention of a few stores in the US that do this as well. I'm thinking about creating an 'exceptions' table in the database. From the summary screen, you would indicate that a container has more than one part contained within it... then like normal, you'd select which parts they are. Then I'm thinking on the summary page, the 'exceptions' would show up in a separate table below with X,Y coordinates for each exception.

It's not a pretty solutions, but it might work.

Re: Mal ne Frage zu IPaB ?!? Warum fehlt immer noch Duisburg?

Bin am 14ten wieder in Duisburg (mit meinem Sohn zu den Clubtag) mal schauen was sich machen lässt.


Dazu auch gleich ne Frage. Ich weis noch das sich letztens in Duisburg in einem Fach bis zu 5 verschiedene Steine befunden haben. Wie kann man das bei IPaB eintragen?

Well, it's just my personal opinion. I'm sure there are people who disagree.

Yes, that sounds like it would work well enough.

Thanks again for creating iPaB! This is something that many of us have waited for.

Weil ich von Duisburg keine Bilder gefunden habe und es bisher ja niemanden aus Duisburg interessiert hat, ob die Wand gelistet wird.

Günzburg fehlt auch noch.

Nice to see that the PAB got more features - but when will it get more fields?

The Cologne Brand Store has about 100 different parts in the wall (usually three different parts in a bowl).
