Code + Mini-Mastery

[adurotum]

Hello all, Ten here.

A couple of things! First off, I recently switched over my cards to a site host and I noticed that ETCG's collecting default display wasn't very conducive to collecting pairs. So I fiddled around with the php a little and came up with a few custom codes that you can use to display your cards as a proper ship.

You can find a link to the code and how to install/use it here! If there are any problems/questions/etc, feel free to ask me in this post.

Secondly, I'm aiming for a mini-mastery of smile, so I'd really love to trade for any smiling cards you have. I'm open to trading out any card from my trade pile in exchange for them, as well as regular trades if that suits your fancy. My card site is linked below.

Thanks for your time o7

for your smile mini-mastery, I've intelligence04, prodigy10 and would like to have your mage09, zanza03 as well as member cards please? ^^;

[needles]

Peace05 could probably work for your smile mini-mastery! For your Gangster02? :>

Those codes are very clever! I know a lot of members with eTCG were interested in something like this and a lot of the members had alternate ways to do place the decks together, but so far this is the most practical and least time-consuming solution I've seen o:
I have a question regarding the ot3 section, though, is it possible to display the 60 cards for the ot3 instead of just 30?

[beccastareyes]

Let's see. I need more mascots and non-humans, so can I have aye08? I'll give you a himeko03 in return, which certainly looks like a smile.

[adurotum]

Certainly, thank you for the trade!

[adurotum]

Sure, thank you for the trade!

[adurotum]

Sounds good, thank you o7

[adurotum]

Hmm, maybe. It looks like you can collect multiples of the same deck using the collecting page, so if I can get it to pull both versions of the same deck, I think I can get it to work! I'll try tackling this tonight since the masteries page is being a lot more difficult sob...

Hello, Ten, you wizard ♥ Would you like for your dyaus10? I also have some other smiles if you want them. :D

[adurotum]

Now I feel like I should have done specifically danger smiles for this mastery...


I MAY HIT YOU UP LATER if I end up being sad with not enough trades later

[adurotum]

o whoa okay APPARENTLY if you set up two of each deck and give each ot3 set a different sort number (ie one set of decka/deckb/deckc the sort number 1 and the other set sort number 2), the current code will actually print out both as separate ot3 decks like so. I HAD NO IDEA IT WOULD DO THAT but it is. Apparently a thing it can do.

I can work on having them display as one solid block (how were you thinking of having them displayed so I know which code to fiddle with), but I figured you could use this as a temporary solution in the meantime.

[inarticulate]

♥ I am always here for hitting up. :D

[suguro]

that's amazing! I was hoping to have them as block but more like this:
deck1
deck2
deck1
deck3
deck2
deck3

though I have no idea if that's possible and the mixed cards actually looks cool, too? I might use a bit of both depending on whether it's romantic ot3 or not, so it would be great to have both options. I didn't read the entirety of the code but I'm also wondering if it's impossible to have a hyphen instead of a slash for some decks or if it will always have a slash by default?
I'm not trying it out just yet because lol busy but as soon as I tackle the deck release this weekend, I'm giving this a shot on my card post! Thanks a lot for sharing it~

[adurotum]

I think that should be possible! I'll try making a default one that goes 1-2-3-1-2-3 and an alternating images one, then I can probably make you a custom code for that.

It has a slash by default, but I think I can add in an extra field for hyphens. That one should actually be faster to do, so let me work on that first; thanks for reminding me about it!

[cureelliott]

Aaaaa this code!!! you're literally brilliant!! (now i just need to be just computer literate enough to figure out how to install it)

i've got for your mini-mastery if you want to trade apollo10 to me :3

[adurotum]

Sounds good, thank you!


I'm around if you come across any problems while installing it, so feel free to ask if you need ♥

[cureelliott]

thanks!!

i followed the steps but i inevitably fucked it up some how ;__;

[adurotum]

oh no :(

Could you link me the page so I could look at it?

[cureelliott]

here!

i think i copy-pasted everything correctly -- maybe i missed something? that happens a lot u_u

[adurotum]

Hmm, did you change over all your display codes (steps 6-9)?

[cureelliott]

Aaaaaaaaaahahaha i didn't enter them into etcg properly oh that's embarrassing. but i do have another question about separating special/regular cards? i can't get mine to show up as two separate categories without changing the worth and i'm pretty sure special cards are only worth 1 on pairings, not 2 like on other tcgs?

[adurotum]

Do you mean on your collecting page or on your future/keeping/etc pages?

For categories, I make two categories, one named 'futurereg' and another named 'futurespc' and dump all the specials into the second and regulars into the first. Then use the code below to display them.

<?php show_cards('Pairings','futurereg', 0); ?><br> <?php show_cards('Pairings','futurespc', 0); ?>

[cureelliott]

i mean like on the collecting page, i've got my specials and regular cards separated into different categories on my etcg too (omg i'm sorry i'm dumping all my dumb etcg questions on you can you believe i've been using it for over a year because i can't)

[adurotum]

OH hmm,

(IT'S COOL this is all actually really great practice for me since web dev is my career field hurr hurr)

Uhh, fastest solution would be to call each of your special decks individually, which isn't too bad if you don't have a lot.

<?php show_collecting('Pairings','','SPECIALDECKNAME1'); ?> <?php show_collecting('Pairings','','SPECIALDECKNAME2'); ?>

I think that would be it? I don't have any special decks I'm collecting atm, so I can't test it on my own, BUT IN THEORY that should be it...

[cureelliott]

Aaa that's perfect!! thank you so much *__* this is so amazing to me because i've been write little image codes for each card manually this entire time so this is like literally a gift from the heavens thank you @___@
