SCF Inventory

I thought of that since i have most of my PC in there anyway , but couple things i can't seem to figure out ..

1) is there anyway to make folders within PC ... ie to seperate Player PC's
2)can't find image codes to place pics in threads .. i use multiple forums

I use flickr and love it. It is free to post 200 photos. If you want to have more than 200 cards then it is $20 for a yearly subscription.

Flickr can even have another use. My wife takes a lot of photos. She saves them on discs and then as a safe measure back up she uploads them all on flickr. She has over five thousand photos uploaded and for just $20 a year it is a very cheap and high quality solution.

yes to both.

for the pic, once you have added the item into your inventory, you can find the link there. Here is an example of my Bruins Trios fight strap that I pulled Friday.

There 2 ways to view on top , looks to me would be pretty easy to find things and very simple to uplaod and organize so far

Photobucket is terrible and I don't even bother to check cards that people still have on it because they are too small and cut in half. The organise option is not working 87% of the time, it's ridiculous.

Flickr that you can see in my sig is an excellent way to show your cards. Welcoming customizable front page, folders easy to see with an image for each, and big pictures that can let you appreciate your cards.

we have a forum dedicate to ask Inventory questions and I answer it daily you can see it from the main forum page.

Inventory/Storefront Feedback

1) is there anyway to make folders within PC ... ie to seperate Player PC's

Yes, kind of. Mainly since all cards are from a database table. you can create group and we also have some tutorial on how to use various function in the inventory
Inventory/Storefront Tutorials

Now you can create group by doing a query that will show what you want to see and this need to be done in the public part of the inventory. Like My Inventory is the private section where you manage your cards. On the right you will see a link the say View your Inventory or when you see one of your post, the link View my Inventory New will bring you to your PUBLIC inventory section. So when there go into the advance search, add the player name in the player name field and check PC and click submit. Now this will show all your PC from the player. When you see what you want in a group, it's the time to create that one group. So like If I want to create the Carey Price PC group in my inventory I go in my public inventory type Carey Price and click the PC tab and then on the top right you will see a link Add a new category. But for this to work it has to show what you want in your category just before you hit this link as we only store the web address for a category.
http://opg.sportscardforum.com/scf/i...c/view/2/zo/1/

So this link is my Carey Price PC category I created. What we store is really
page/1/sid/2/playername/Carey-Price/pli/180099/perpage/200/pc/1/sort/cvdesc/view/2/zo/1/

Mainly all the parameter we need to show it like it was prior you created the category.
sid/2 mean sport = hockey
playername/Carey-Price mainly obvious
pli/180099 mean player ID 180099 that is Carey Price player ID in our database
pc/1 = PC only
sort/cvdesc this is because I set the biggest user value first so this is the sorting I selected so it show the best card first
view/2 is because I selected image only, not just thumbnail and text
zo/1/ mean image are bigger then just thumbnails.

So I selected all this prior to create the new category and when I click on add a new category, all I needed to do is add Carey Price PC as title.

Then you want to create a new category, empty the filter on the left
Personal Collections
Hockey
Player name = Carey Price

and then create a new query for a other player and do the same process just before you create the category.

Then when you open your public page you will see this

Mainly these are all my category and just copied and pasted them here from My inventory public space. Copying anything when in My Inventory tab would not work as this is a private section to you only.


2)can't find image codes to place pics in threads .. i use multiple forums
You can simply copy the image and paste it in a thread

Or edit a card and you will see, copy the link in the box.

Image Link

Or Use the middle mouse button to open a image into a new tab and copy the link in the browser address bar. All link are really
http://opg.sportscardforum.com/scf/i...e/show/2915554 and the last number is the Inventory Unique ID for your entry.

Often what I do when I break a box, I add all the cards and images. then go into my PUBLIC inventory section select the trader tab, then click on the link (just under the trader tab) Sort by recent update first. What this does is list the latest modification I have done in the inventory and then click on the image only tab, click on Zoom in on the images and this let me copy full images not just the thumbnail version and then I place my cursor on the top left image and Highlight only the image I need and paste them into a post. So I can copy the latest 18 images if this is what I need and past them as is whitout having to enter a link for each one using the image post icon. Much faster and only a question of getting use to work with the inventory. There is so many way you can use the inventory that it be to pull trade list find specific player or team. Like If I post my traders list, I can simply go into my public inventory, click on trader tab, click on Hockey on the left and then click on more team link as when you click on hockey it will ist a few team with a more team link. Then once it open page to select a team, you can copy those link there and post them here and you get a link to all your traders per team.

Anaheim Ducks - Atlanta Thrashers - Boston Bruins - Buffalo Sabres - Calgary Flames
Carolina Hurricanes - Chicago Blackhawks - Colorado Avalanche - Columbus Blue Jackets - Dallas Stars
Detroit Red Wings - Edmonton Oilers - Florida Panthers - Los Angeles Kings - Minnesota Wild
Montreal Canadiens - Nashville Predators - New Jersey Devils - New York Islanders - New York Rangers
Ottawa Senators - Philadelphia Flyers - Phoenix Coyotes - Pittsburgh Penguins - San Jose Sharks
St. Louis Blues - Tampa Bay Lightning - Toronto Maple Leafs - Vancouver Canucks - Washington Capitals
Winnipeg Jets -

There are so many ways to use the inventory and I use it (not only created and coded it) on daily basis and help me greatly to build my Habs collection and show all I have. the result is that I can make bigger trade because member can find what they want in a much easier fashion. Like when I see a long list with no team tag, I get headache trying to find Montreal cards and sometime I will pass. But other don't have issue finding their teams or players.
