Thank you for your feedback. You are absolutely right about these issues. Most of them are fixed. I’ve removed the Preview button. It automatically previews when you add or change stuff.
No worries about the costs. Everything is now funded by NFGS itself.
Maybe I’ll increase it in the near future or maybe every year when there are more clips available. We’ll see how it goes.
@Crunch, have fun! The Roadwork functionality is now live.
The navigation has been slightly improved: instead of “My Stats,” you now have “My Profile.” When you’re logged in, there’s a dropdown menu with “My Stats” and “Roadwork.” Also the layout is a bit more clean.
If you click on “Roadwork,” you’ll go to the Roadwork Studio, where you can create your album. You can only choose from clips that have been added to the site.
There is currently a limit of 3 Roadwork albums per user. I can easily increase this if necessary, but I’d like to see how it goes first. I also want to keep things manageable so not everyone creates thousands of albums 😄
The latest new Roadwork albums are also shown in the Community section on the homepage.
And thank you for this fun idea ! I love it !
Thanks for the kind words, Crunch!
I’ve also thought about adding some gamification, but I’m not sure that feature is really necessary or desired by the Psychonauts.
I really like your idea of creating your own Roadworks. It adds a nice “community” aspect to the website. The only thing we can’t do is allow uploading artwork directly to the site. We have limited storage space and want to use it wisely. It could work if the artwork is hosted somewhere else, though.
Adding the discography could be possible. But why not use Discogs itself?
Update:
I’ve created a new feature that automatically pulls posts from this forum into the MPDB site.When a setlist is added here, I simply add the forum link to the corresponding gig on MPDB, and it will automatically fetch the posts from that specific thread.
It’s not instant, it checks every night for new posts on recent gigs within a timeframe of up to one year.
If the forum is ever down, no worries: all forum posts are stored in the MPDB database.
I’ve only added forum threads from the “Setlists” section. I won’t go looking into the thousands of threads on this forum if there are other setlists :-D
Where can you find that on MPDB:
– if a Gig has comments or forum posts, you’ll see a speech bubble icon on the Gig item in the top right corner.
– When you are on the gig page itself, you need to scroll down to “Member Comments” and “Forum”Now, I’m out of ideas for new features… The coming days weeks, I’ll check if there is feedback of you guys and try to progress that. I’ll also add the Tussler gigs to the database. And i’ll see if there are some design tweaks needed for a better usability.
@psychotzar, thanks for the info. I’ve added both shows to the database. Do you happen to know which songs were played at these shows ?
I’ve changed Bergen to Skien for that specific gig.
@crunch how would you like the map to be visualized on the personal stats page?
I assume you’ve visited the same venue multiple times, so I’m thinking of showing a single map marker with the number of visits.
The tricky part is what happens when you click the marker. For example, if you’ve been to the same venue 10 times, I’d need to display all 10 dates within that one marker. Or do you have any other idea?
Thanks!
Hi everyone,
You asked for it before, and we’ve been working hard on it. The “gig attendance” feature is back on the website. I’ll continue expanding it over time, but first I want to see how everything evolves once it’s in use.
To use this feature, you need to create an account on the site. You can do this by clicking on “my stats” in the top navigation. This will take you to the login screen, where you can click on “register.” There, you enter your email address and username. You’ll then receive an email and can follow the steps. You can create a new password by clicking on “Lost password.” Sorry, it’s a bit of a workaround, but this was necessary for security reasons. I’ll look into whether we can simplify this.
Once you have an account, I need to approve it. I receive an email each time, so I can usually do that quickly ;-) And then you’re all set!
When you go to a “gig” page, you can click on “attend.” The data from that gig will be stored on your Stats page. And that’s where the magic happens…
Over time, more features will be added, but I first want to see how everything works in practice.
On the previous version of the database website, there was a similar feature, and quite a few people had already created an account. Unfortunately, we couldn’t reuse that data. This means those users will need to create a new account. Sorry about that, but there was no other option.
If you have any feedback about the feature or ideas of your own, feel free to share them here.
Here’s what I’m currently still working on:
• Completing the tour names. I don’t know all of them, so for now I’ve used the year. If anyone can help with this, that would be greatly appreciated.
• Expanding the song page
• Developing the album page
• Exploring possibilities to display forum posts of the setlist on the gig page of the databaseThanks and have fun!
Dennis
