Tagging / subsets in inventory

Any update on this feature?

Wow, looking at the post dates I realize this has been postponed too much .

Now that we're back from a nice 2 week holiday in Greece, I'll start working through the todo list, I promise .

I'd much rather see the export feature implemented first, but i think this is an important feature as well.

Are you planning on allowing an "Unspecified" subset as well? Once you open this can of worms, unless you add an "unspecified" subset, you're going to have to deal with every single variant, like promos, Championship decks, etc etc.

I'm wondering, as you enter the cards, are you going to have the page automatically calculate the valid subsets for a given card? In other words, exclude any sets that the card did not appear in?

I don't think giving users the ability to create subsets is a good idea, simply because there will be misspelled and duplicate subsets, which will make things confusing while searching later down the road.

As for my ideas:

For adding inventory via the auto-complete box, I think the easiest way would be once you type in your card, it auto-completes, you pick the card you want and a drop-down box with the subsets is displayed automatically with a quantity box beside that, then a button to add an additional line with another subset drop-down box and quantity box for additional copies, then another button to add an additional line, etc etc. That way you can keep adding cards from different sets without every having the re-choose that card.
So it would be like this

[Auto-Completed_Card_Name_Selected]   [Auto-Complete_Subset_List]  [QuantityBox]  [Add_Row]
                                                                   [Auto-Complete_Subset_List]  [QuantityBox]  [Add_Row]
                                                                   [Auto-Complete_Subset_List]  [QuantityBox]  [Add_Row]
                                                                   .........................
                                                                   [Auto-Complete_Subset_List]  [QuantityBox]  [Add_Row]

Another alternative would be to just have all the subsets listed once the card is auto-completed plus an "unspecified" subset, like this:

[Auto-Completed_Card_Name_Selected]   [Subset1]  [QuantityBox]
                                                                   [Subset2]  [QuantityBox]
                                                                   [Subset3]  [QuantityBox]
                                                                   .........................
                                                                   [SubsetN]  [QuantityBox]

For in-line inventory additions using the full card list, you can have collapsible inventory rows (think the windows explorer tree folder structure, but only two levels) that have a + out beside each card's row. Clicking the plus will display all the subsets a card is in below that card's row and tabbed over to the right a little, then you can add cards or requests using the columns there. If someone adds inventory without expanding the the row, then the cards are added to the "unspecified" subset.
So this one would be like this:
      Inv  Trade  Wish   Card Name
[+]  [ ]    [ ]        [ ]      Card 1      <----- Entering values into this line would add a card to your inventory with subset "unspecified"
[-]                               Card 2       <----- Notice the + turns into a - when clicked. Clicking the - will collapse the tree, while clicking the + expands it
       [ ]    [ ]        [ ]          Subset 1   <----- Each of these N subsets are the only subsets in which Card 2 appears in
       [ ]    [ ]        [ ]          Subset 2               Entering values into these lines will add that quantity to your inventory with that subset
       [ ]    [ ]        [ ]          Subset 3
        ...............
       [ ]    [ ]        [ ]          Subset N
[+]  [ ]    [ ]        [ ]      Card 3

Then to top it all off, have the ability to view all cards in the unspecified subset in your inventory so you can have a easy to way to go back and change them all without trudging through the rest of the your inventory.

FYI, I know like bare-minimum php, so I have no idea how hard this would be to code. But I think it's all do-able, just (probably) VERY time-consuming.

After re-reading, I think I need to clarify a little bit.

The topic discussed here (Tagging / Subsets) refers to custom tags that users would like to attach to their cards so they can manage them better. So for example "Closet", "Borrowed", "Promised to Mike".

What you are referring to is actually card editions and conditions. This you can already do if you click on the little arrow to the left of a card's name, and then Edit Details.

Your suggestion for card addition still stands as it is, because people want to add cards and directly set the edition as they add it, just wanted to clarify that "tags" / "subsets" would deal with something else than editions or conditions.

So after everything is implemented, you would have
  [card name autocompleted field] [number] [card edition autocompleted field] [possible custom tags dropdown]

Aha, so you can....I saw the arrow & the options but didn't realize what edit card details was. I had seen this forum post first, so I didn't think the feature had been implemented yet.

But this only applies to cards already in your inventory, right? The down arrow doesn't seem to be functional when looking at the card database, which is where I was talking about adding the branches at. For someone with a huge collection, this would probably be how I would add cards in simply because I already have mine alphabetized and it'd be easier to go down a list than type in the card names.

Naturally, not a big deal whether you decide to do it that way or not, just some suggestions.

Not yet ... but it's coming!

I'm planning to use this feature to let me know _where_ my cards are.

A card can be in one of a few locations:

(A) A named collection storage, such as "Trading Map", "junk drawer", "box UncU", etc.

(B) A deck.

Assuming that you can tag any card with any number of tags, then I can just make tags for all of my collections. I'd also have to make a tag for each deck, which is fine by be, and I'm not sure having an option to always have a tag for each deck is useful, because I usually have some decks registered that I haven't built yet and possibly even no further intention to build (ideas, precon decks, etc).

I'm not sure if this was what the original suggestion had in mind, but it looks like being able to create tags, and then tag each indvidual card, is going to take care of this feature request too :P

Keep up the fine work!
