Bout to use it, tell how it goes. This should be great, as I am often to lazy to put it through the forum. See some more contribs from me (2 I think on hard drive!!!

Great feature. I can't help but think I am a cause for this (Since i have been putting a lot of movies with 100+ cars lately.).

One question though, When adding the year, Do you want us to leave it blank if we do not know the exact year? Or put the first year the car was mad (I.E. If that generation of the model was made from 1992-1998, list it as a 1992?)

If you know the year and that the range is not too large (e.g. the first year of that generation of the car) you can put it, I'd say.

Great feature, many thanks! Now I don't have to use the forum first to post the pictures and then to wait. It motivates me to be more productive for this wunderful project.
I have two suggestions to improve the tool:
When I ad a new car twice or erroneously, I cannot delete it.
The last movie I added (Lo Scopone scientifico) which was already aproved by an admin, doesn't appear in the "Last completed movie pages" list.

Thanks and kind regards

Indeed I should add the delete of unvalidated cars, I forgot that.
In the meantime, in such case just edit the vehicle and put for example "TO DELETE" as model name :wink:

For the "last complete", the admin has forgot to click the link then (or did you just add few background cars? if so it may not be worth putting the movie in the "last complete")

The movie is already approved, I see the pictures without beeing logged in and without the locks. See http://www.imcdb.org/movie_69235-Lo-Scopone-scientifico.html.

My question was to know if it was a whole new movie or just one or two pics that you added to one already filled by someone else :wink:

I added it to the list.

Added: now the contributor can delete his vehicles if they are not yet validated

It was a whole new movie.

Great feature Antoine, thanks! I have a question: those of us who are working our way through classic TV series, episode by episode, should we add the images as we get them or wait (as we did in the forum) and add a bunch at once, say season by season? What would be easiest on the moderators?
02/01/2010 @ 20:08:33: antp: New feature : direct contributions from any mermber
If it is not one episode per day, you can add them episode by episode, I think it is ok. I do not know the opinion of Vilero about that, though.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: checkvehiclecontrib() in /homez.83/imcdb/www/edit-cars.php on line 15

I got error code that when I clicked edit to sort a mistake on a car I just uploaded.

(I have no idea how I managed to put MKIX instead of MKI)
02/01/2010 @ 21:50:37: antp: New feature : direct contributions from any mermber
Thanks, should be fixed.
I forgot to update a file on the server after the changes I made today... I wonder why nobody mentioned that error before :grin: (though that it only happens when a non-admin tries to edit or delete a car that he uploaded)

Small change:

non-admins:
- if there are unvalidated contributions waiting for a movie, it is shown bellow the list of contributions (top right corner), it can be useful to know if something is already waiting for a movie.

admins:
- now it is shown from who are the contributions which are waiting (so you directly see if it is from someone who usually is reliable or not :whistle: )
- when validating contributions without pictures, the name is not added to contributors list

I was on holiday last week, but nice features Antoine.
Good job.

Personlly I enjoy learning with your 50s & 60S posts, so do it the way you want but it's only my opinion.

The only 'little problem' I see is the moment when we add the new ones vehicles to the 'complete list'. If you submit several pictures (from several differents seasons and episodes or from the same season) and we add them to the Last Completed Movie Pages, I understand it's not useful add another bunch of the same TV Series in few days difference.
Why?: I prefer (and this is only my opinion) 30-40 new vehicles, add them to the complete list, discuss about them, get for them a good ID and, later, submit a new batch of pictures from the same TV Series and the processing begins again. In my opinion it's not useful see same TV series in the Last Completed Movie Pages very often (more than once a week?) and also I have noticed that posts over 50 pictures in one go, go to the end of the list (usually we only see the very first 15 we see in left corner of main page of the site) with too many cars 'unknown'.

I'm pleased when I see 'my' posts are going down in the Last Completed Movie Pages rating with all or almost all the vehicles with a (I hope perfect) ID.

The problem by waiting long time before submitting series pictures is that someone else may either ask or submit cars.
I think it is good to add them "quickly". But of course with a series it is not useful to add it to the list each time.
Many of those who identify vehicles check the unknowns page, not only the last completed. I nearly never put in the last completed the series I work on, but cars are usually quickly identified despite that.
04/01/2010 @ 15:16:26: tv boy: New feature : direct contributions from any mermber
I think what I may do is post a comment to the "film comments," that I've started posting cars, and post another one when I'm finished. That way the moderators will know when I'm finished and can add the project to the "last completed." I'll try that when I add the cars from "The Odd Couple" TV series soon, to see how it works.
04/01/2010 @ 15:18:49: antp: New feature : direct contributions from any mermber
Probably the best way to do, indeed

When I go onto a film page it just says "# Contributions Waiting" and I can't find the actual contributions so I can validate them.
