19 Mar 2008-6:50:42 am

It was just told about a bug in the collection report page and it's been fixed. After a long weekend of work, the non-dispenser section of the site is fully operational.

Let me know if you see any error messages. Make note of how to reproduce the error and any text on the screen.

Kevin

Collection Reports.
19 Sep 2007-6:58:49 am

Users can now display the UDR, flower, and stem printing on their collection reports. To enable this click the "Logged in as" link at the top of the screen and select "Other Stem Features".

Elvis is now in the building
30 Jul 2007-8:30:59 pm

It turns out I have not had Elvis listed yet.

I've also finalized the code to allow users to specify how many journal articles to display on they My PezBase portal. You can also configure the Top10 block to display randomly as on the front page, or to always display one of the block types. You can also specify the number, not just 10. If you want to see the top 100 collection sizes, feel free.

Like always, let me know if you find a bug or if you would like any added features or if you would like to help with coding or whatever.
Kevin

New dispensers
20 Jul 2007-10:41:39 am

I've just added the new full body Mickey Mouse dispensers to the database.

You can also find the new Korochan dispensers from Japan and a bunch of Japanese minis.

Please make use of the search box at the top of the screen
3 Jul 2007-4:51:10 am

Lately many people have been adding dispenser heads to the database which already exist. If you type in a part of the name into the search box at the top of the screen you will be able to see if it exists before adding it. For example, if you can't seem to find Puss N Boots, just type "boots" into the search box. When you click on the returned item you will see the breadcrumbs at the top(Dispensers> Dreamworks> Shrek). This means that you will find it in the dispenser list. Clicking the plus sign next to Dreamworks will present you with the Shrek family.

Let me know if you have questions. (beakerboy99 at yahoo dot com)

Users may now customize their MyPezBase Portal
13 Dec 2006-7:28:24 am

I'm sure you've seen the link to "Customize this Page" in your MyPezBase Portal. Now, finally, clicking this link actually does something. You can see all available blocks and add the ones you like to your page. Not all blocks are configurable at this point. You can configure the Advanced HTML block to add any custom HTML to your page.

If you have suggestions for new blocks, let me know.

Please verify your email address.
20 Nov 2006-10:09:02 pm

When you log in, please check that your email address is set to an account that you actually check. Once in a while I have a question about an edit that a user has made. I'll send an email to the address they submitted on registration and will not get a response in most cases. If I don't hear back from you, I'll just undo your edit.

Thanks for your understanding,
Kevin

Editing Pending Dispenser Stems
18 Nov 2006-10:37:33 am

If you add a stem to a dispenser and notice a mistake, you now have a new option. Previously, the only way to edit a pending stem was to delete the change and create a new stem. Now, any user can edit any stem addition that they have made in addition to undoing and changes. Please double check your changes and make use of this feature if necessary.

View a list of your pending edits
27 Sep 2006-11:09:58 am

If are one of the few who edit PezBase content, you can now see what is awaiting approval. Visit your "MyPezBase Portal" and the list will appear on your page. You can click to see the changes and even delete an incorrect edit, or re-edit it.

Like always, let me know if you experience any buggy behavior.
Kevin

18 Sep 2006-1:52:56 pm

Be on the lookout for two new dispensers for the upcoming holidays. The Halloween series will include a Black Cat. For Christmas, Santa will be accompanied with a Mrs. Claus dispenser.

OCC PEZ and dispenser prices
20 Aug 2006-5:39:13 am

You can now see completed ebay prices for the dispensers on the price tab of the each dispenser's page. The ability to add new prices is in the works.

I've also added the new Orange County Choppers dispensers to the list. Does anybody know when they'll be for sale and for how much?

Update 8/22/06: Registered users can add ebay prices to the website. Feel free to plug away.

Users can now add nondispenser items.
12 Aug 2006-8:20:18 am

Feel free to add any items made by PEZ Co. or licensed by PEZ Co. in the nondispensers area. This includes giant dispensers and mini dispensers. I'll be adding more functionality to this in the coming weeks, such as adding images and making the page look nicer.

Let me know if you have any problems.
Kevin

Yet another stem option
9 Aug 2006-2:15:20 pm

When adding a new stem to a dispenser head, there are now three foot choices; None, Thin, and Normal.

Kevin

Another new stem option
9 Aug 2006-5:32:02 am

You can add a text comment describing any printing on a dispenser stem. For an example, see the <a href="http://pezbase.beakerboy.com/head.php?id=2925">World Cup Daffy</a>. The phrase 'Printed on stem' is added by the webpage, so only typing 'Coach whistle' is needed. If there is a dispenser which only has a printed stem, and this stem is already in the database, let me know and I'll modify the existing stem instead of adding a new one.

Kevin

New option for stem variations
7 Aug 2006-6:27:04 pm

Last year, several dispensers were made where the country of origin was printed on the stem instead of being molded into the stem. Check the 'Printed Country' checkbox when adding one of these stems to the database.

Database Editing Recommendation
2 Aug 2006-5:33:08 am

If you wish to add a stem to a dispenser, please ensure everything is added correctly. Users are able to remove their edits, so double-check and delete it if needed.

If a specific country/IMC combination or stem color is missing from option lists, contact me before adding a placeholding, incorrect stem to the database(beakerboy99 at yahoo dot com). It is easier to get the missing option in the database and add a correct stem than to go in a modify an incorrect stem after the fact.

Again, thanks for the help everyone!

PezBase Dispenser Photos...You can help
25 Jul 2006-1:06:33 pm

PezBase currently has photos for 58% of all dispenser heads ever made. If you have a digital camera and want to help with the remaining 42%, or if you can make a better photo of a head currently in the database you can. Take a photo and edit it to be 124 pixels square and 72 pixes/in resolution. Log in, browse to a dispenser listing and click the edit button. From here you can upload the photo. After an admin approves it, you'll receive a photo credit as well as an editing point.

Let me know if you have any questions,
Kevin

Editing PezBase
18 Jul 2006-4:59:19 am

Feel free to edit anything in the database. All changes have to be checked and approved by an admin before they become permanent. As of this morning, users can edit heads and add new subfamilies and I'm working on code to allow users to add new heads and add stems to heads.

Update(7/22/06): Users can now add new heads and associate stems with heads. Again all changes must be approved before they become permanent, so edit away.

User Journal in MyPezBase Portal
17 Jul 2006-8:25:20 am

Database Shuffle
16 Jul 2006-7:49:55 am

I did a large database data re-arangement on the dispenser collection information. It appears to have happened smoothly and all MY personal collection information remains accurate. If you see any problems with your dispenser collection list, let me know as soon as you can so I can revert to the backup and try the data migration again.

Thanks
