Elan Registry - Multiple Photo Upload - Looking for testers

I spend some time over the holidays updating the registry to allow uploading multiple photos. It touched a lot of things and I’m looking for some feedback and a little testing before I push it to the live site

If you want to see what it will look like and provide feedback the url is test.elanregistry.org. I updated the data from production today so if you have an account it should work on the test site.

Thanks in advance,

Jim

Hello Jim,
nice to see that much progress :wink:

Questions and remarks:

  • maximum is 5 images ? At some point it says in a bubble “You can not upload any more files.”
    I can drop more images … but they are not saved.

  • I miss a re-order image functionality. I uploaded rear quarter view and want to place front quarter first.
    Now I would need to delete all and re-upload.
    Multiple Upload by drop-down is aleatory (apparently at least) … I selected images in the order I wish to present them (front view first), nothing to do with saved order.

  • I personally would separate the image-upload/edit/delete from the car data edit page.
    When you go to “edit/update”, delete pictures and then clic “cancel”, the deletes have been done already, so there is no “cancel” on delete image operation.
    When you upload a new image, it is not stored if you do not confirm by clicking update.
    This is an ambigous behaviour.

BTW Test record is 9267.

regards
Guillermo

Great feedback.

I just tried adding some comments and uploading 3 additional pictures but it is stuck in saving mode.

Aborted after an hour.

I see in the log where you started the operation and it didn’t complete. I logged in as you and of course it worked! I’ll dig in a bit more.

Hello , this is Lottie

Thanks for your dedication over all these years Jim.

Let me know if you would like me to try again.

Using Firefox, it hung when I clicked on the update button.

Hmm. I have a bit of work todo to see why its hanging.

I can’t even get into the test site.
Just receive a message in red stating something about the 'Lucas the Prince of Darkness ’ and it is redirecing but it never reaches its target.
Hope you can sort, you are doing the work of the Gods.

"Just receive a message in red stating something about the 'Lucas the Prince of Darkness ’ and it is redirecing but it never reaches its target. "

That was me breaking things. I do that sometimes! It should be working again.

Sorry.
Going to add to your woes.
Not only can’t I get into the test site but I have to reset my password each time I try to get back in.

Hi Jim

Car ID 37 is now owned by me, how do I add it to my list of cars please?

I’ll try some multiple photo uploads!

Thanks

David

I need to make that change. I’ll do that over in the live site. PM me the email address you use on the live site.

Browsing I’ve notice following:

Some of my records have been merged:

1963 S1 0234 record has update lines and images relating to an S2 3396 that I also own.

1964 S1 0429 record is correct, although multiple entries.

1964 S2 3396 record has correct data and image other than the last new owner record which does not relate to this car.

The S2 26R record also has some of the 1964 S1 0429 details merged, 26R colour should be red, not the Red/Black now Flag Metallic Blue which relates to the 0429 record. The middle of three records is correct for the 26R.

I’m keen to help out, I’ve rest my password successfully but unable to log in at this time, I’ll wait and try again and have multiple photos to add for each.

Is this just on the test site or on the live site as well?

I sent you another password reset link. I made a boo-boo and the reset email from the test site directed you to reset your password on the live site. Doh!

I looked at the record on both sites and don’t see this. Can you screenshot what you see and send it? elanregistry.org/app/car_details.php?car_id=539

I only see one entry for this car (It’s a pretty car BTW)
elanregistry.org/app/car_details.php?car_id=464

I assume this is 26/3996. The new owner record is merging the record from when John in Seattle owned the car (previously record 913).

Again I’m not seeing what you are seeing. I only see the 26R records. The “Red/Black now Flag Metall” record are updates in 2018 - elanregistry.org/app/car_detail … ar_id=1137

Please send/attach a couple screen shots so I can see what you are seeing.

I’ve taken all the feedback and rethought the Add/Update car information flow and rebuilt it one more time. Please have a look and let me know what you think.

The data on the test site is a few weeks old so don’t expect it to match what is on the main site.
