Item Lookup for Books and Magazines

[Andrew d’Entremont]

How hard would it be to make Books and Magazines searchable in the app? Would it be possible to add something in the app which allows you to select which media type you want to search?

Right now the only method I can think of to make this work would be to create a different database for each media type and then switch to the relevant database before searching.

 

Thanks!

a good suggestion for the future; i'll mention it to our programming team.

Thanks!

Just thought I'd resurrect this thread to see if what I asked is feasible.

A lot more content is being moved from  Comic Books to Magazines and as a result they can no longer be looked up with the app.

Thanks!

No to be a nag or anything, but has there been any consideration given to my suggestion?

It's on the development table so users can search for items under those media categories on Atomic Avenue. No target date at the moment but it will be addressed in the coming weeks. I'll need to confirm if this will apply to mobile app as well.

Great, thanks!

Both the AA and the mobile app functions are pretty important, actually, especially as more items that were tracked in the original "single category" configuration of ComicBase get moved into the Magazine and Book categories.

Any word on if this may be coming anytime soon? Thanks!

[Mark J. Castaneda]

still in the works. no solid date when it will be addressed at the moment.

[Andrew d’Entremont]

Okay. Thanks for the update. 

[Andrew d’Entremont]

With a new version of CB launching, will we see an update to the mobile app as well? It would really be nice to be able to lookup all the items that have been moved out of the Comic Book category.

Thanks! 

[Mark J. Castaneda]

not sure of the time table but it will be revisited after the new version launches

[Andrew d’Entremont]

Sooooooo.......

Might there be any progress on this front?

Thanks!

Hey, is it it my imagination or is this working now?
