Post by: Spriggan on October 30, 2002, 05:46:32 PM

here are the topics for the CCG sort function

Magic
StarWars
StarTreck
Lordoftherings
other

Editorals
100/3 (house rules)
prebuilt
all reviews in the database

so any suggestion would be nice

Suggestion #1: if you're going to add meta tags to articles, spell check them a hundred times. I know we all joke about poor spelling, but in this case it's actually really important to spell things right in order for the site to function properly.

Suggestion #2: what is you second grouping for? I can't figure out what those four things have in common, and they don't look like meta tags. I guess this isn't really a suggestion, just a question.

Here's some of the tags I'd like to see:

Magic
ST
LotR
decklist
other
Warhammer
SW
HarryPotter
variant

If I think of any others I'll let you know, but this should do it. Also, are these case sensitive?

no the tags aren't case senstive.  First off we've only done 1 harry potter review and no one's done one for quite a while. So it that one nessary.  We don't have any warhammer ccg's, is there one?  Are we ever going to review it?  I'm assuming decklist is the same as my prebuilt.  all of the one's I've listed, except for all and editorals, are meta tags.

ok I was wrong about the warhammer ccg, but should we realy have a sort link for something that we only have 1 review for and no plans for more?  (same for the harry potter CCG)

But we do have plans for more. I'd rather include extra meta tags and not include buttons for them, so that it will be easier to do a button later.

And I would prefer decklist to prebuilt, since it makes more sense in my mind and will thus be easier to remember.

Oh, and a strategy tag.

I was under the impression that there was a 40K card game.  I'm almost positive of it.  As for others, what about that Marvel Superheroes card game?  I don't play it myself, but I know plenty who do.  And how many people out there play the Shadowfist/Feng Shui and Warlord games?

all those out of print and we're probaly never going to have anymore reviews for (ie shadowfist) are going in other.  I realise that these are games that people play we just cannot have 30 links on each page.  I think we should set a standard of 3 reviews or plans for many more.  and as I said in the Table-top section we can alwayse add a new link when we feel like there will be enought attention payed to it.  I only have to add one line to the deparmnt indexpage and we're done.  dosen't take that long.  So I still say we have no need for a Harry Potter or warhammer link.  But if we start getting more articles written for them then we can add a new link.  takes less then 5 min to do.

let's do that, then. Use this as the final list, and go crazy:

Magic
ST
SW
LotR
other
variant
strategy
decklist
editorial

Umm I found 20 missing CCG articles.  So the new CCG page will look like this:
View all articles
View all editorals
View all decklists

when you post a deck list put deck in the meta field and make it a colum.

Edit: Ok looks like fell has been doing that.  It was my bad for forgetting to add the Deck sort link to the page
