GRAND OPENING: CivFanatics File Database

Added author info to the category file listing page. :)
It's put on the same line as the file size. Is that good enough?

I could make it its own column but there isn't much space left.
For the sort files drop down menu, I will add a sort by authors option.

EDIT: Sort by authors added. :)
 
Bluemofia, you are the latest proud File DB Helper! Thanks and keep up the good work! :thumbsup:
 
But I'm bored of that at the moment... Wait until tomorrow when I feel like doing more. ;)

Good stuff, though now that I think about it, why have a separate column for comments? :confused: Obviously no one is going to use number of comments for sorting (and you know that 'cause there's no option for that :)). It would seem more logical to put the # of comments info below the file's description and replace that with the author's column.

Actually, let me suggest a minor revamp of the table. First of all let me just say that I love the fact that you have the "sort by" dropdown list - it gives you the flexibility to add sorting options w/o adding column.

Now there is a way however to use more column headers for sorting (in addition to Date and Downloads), and more options is always good. Assuming the "# of comments" column is replaced by author column (or not but I still think it's a good idea :D), you can do the following. Make the File column sort by name, and it would probably make sense to rename it to "File Name" or even "File Name and Description", but that's just extra.

Then, and this is where it gets interesting, move the rating info (i.e. the stars) below the thumbnail and use the Download column to sort by rating. The only catch here is that using a column named Download to sort by rating is not 100% intuitive but then again a somewhat non-intuitive feature is better than none at all (and by none at all I mean that right now no column header allows you to sort by rating).

This will also make the rating a bit more prominent, as right now it gets a bit lost in the description.

So, what do you think?

P.S. Of course if the author column is added then it should sort by author. :)

Yeah it can get tiring after a while I have set a goal of doing 1-2 unit makers a day

Not really. If you put yours in a list, it would probably take up 1/2 a page. :p

I gotta admit, after a while it gets boring, but my Civ disk isnt working, and there is a reward after hard work, so why not contribute to the website? :)

It's a good idea. All the headers are sortable now.

I think the stars are fine where they are though, since they are like that on the forum. I added a Rating header for sorting the stars.
 
Nice changes in the file database during last night :thumbsup:

But some people have made some errors there - placing accidentally themselves as creators of the graphics, when they should've put the creators name in the appropriate slot... Like this one http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=857
 
I fixed that one. Thanks. If you noticed any more error, you can let the uploader know so he can edit it (and not repeat the same mistake).

Nice, thanks :goodjob:
 
One error that's creeping in is a number of files being put in the wrong category (understandable, I suppose, given the sheer volume of entries). Will it be possible to move them? Only it looks a little odd when there are actually more units in the Scenarios section than scenarios.
 
My leaderhead pack comes with a special UU. Should I split it up or put the unit with the leaderhead in the Leaderhead section?
