LastDodo site & app/Youtube / URL integration.20 messages

I would like it if I could add videos to an item or link URLs for e.g. background information or commercial videos.

For example, I have what Batmobiles seen where advertisements are on Youtube, I think it would be nice if you can read as much information about an item by clicking through it, to e.g. a wikipedia or similar or any other collector who has blogged about a particular article.

Perhaps Catawiki is not entirely set up for this, but I am curious how others think about this.

as additional information maybe an idea

and it could also be with commercial movies

and then link that back to

In itself not a bad idea, were it not that many links to other sites have a limited “best before date”. Videos on Youtube can also disappear at any time.

I had already suggested adding a link to IMDb with movies (a site that you don't have to worry about disappearing in the short term), but apparently no one else needed it.

Well, shelf life is a bit tricky.
Anyway, links can of course also be removed if someone notices that they are no longer available at e.g. a youtube or imdb.

This was indeed the reason for not using it for the time being, not even with Details. References to other Catawiki numbers may also not be mentioned under Details.
These are all things that can change, without Catawiki having any influence on this.

Perhaps at some point there will be a field for a IMDB - URL with the DVD section. If IMDB cam with it, then only that field needs to be removed from the design.

I think a IMDB field is a good idea.

@ Arco seems useful to refer to, if an item with a deviation also occurs in Catawiki, then a catawiki number is useful. If it cannot be placed with details, then where can it? and why is it not allowed?
The fact that the details field can change continuously, that's just the case.

It also seems to me that the field “details” can change.
I now also add references to background information.
Yes, that can be changed, but good that can be changed.

I meant to say that Catawiki numbers are not fixed, but can change. That even happens regularly. Therefore never refer to Catawiki numbers, but just describe which variant you are referring to.

As long as you cannot search by CW number, it is not useful to refer to it anyway. (Although I have sinned against it at times, I believe.)

As you know I usually sit with music, an example
“ 520955 ” and “1299001 ”is a small difference on one you see 45 rpm and not on the other, that is the only difference.
and with this even more difficult “ 416223 ” and “ 1299633 ”

and when does a Catawiki number disappear only if an item is merged or rejected, I assume

@ book warehouse catawiki number copy and paste and search = found

I am also certainly not in favor of Youtube references for the above reasons. It seems sensible to me to take a position on this as Catawiki, because they are posted quite a lot. And certainly not necessarily to videos that relate to the item.

@kdamme
There is already a position: that those URLs are not allowed.
That that position can ever change is irrelevant.

@ Dick52
What exactly do you mean by your comment about those minor differences? If there are differences, isn't it true that there are 2 items? However, it is always useful to clearly indicate minor differences under Details.

Catawiki numbers do indeed disappear with rejects and merges anyway. And they are very frequent.

Ik ben akkoord met Youtube verwijzingen, die verdwijnen om de haverklap.
Catawiki nummer is een andere zaak, ik heb het ook al gedaan oa hier 1065225 om twee varianten van een druk aan te duiden.
Hoe kan je naar een Catawiki item anders verwijzen ?

I agree with Youtube references, which disappear at the drop of a hat.
Catawiki number is another matter, I have also done it here, among others 1065225 to indicate two variants of an edition.
How else can you refer to a Catawiki item?

@ Arco I indicate in details that there is more variation with small differences in the examples mentioned on the label?
if you put the label scans of both items next to each other, you will see the difference pretty quickly!

Would you describe it, it will quickly become a long story.

There are of course also countless examples that the differences are immediately visible, a mention is not really useful.

@ Scam indeed how else should you refer, but I think you should mention it with both items
maybe fixed description for example see catawiki nr - ——-

Again, that's impossible.

You can only refer to things that cannot be changed.
Of course I also find this difficult myself.
Who knows, someone else might have a good idea.

Dick, I can't search by number. I think that option is only available to administrators.

quote Who knows, someone else might have a good idea.

Are those numbers recycled?
If not when merging the missing item could be kept in the database as an alias, you will automatically arrive at the correct item.

I think this is an important point because as a Catalog you have to provide the possibility to link unambiguously to an item.

@ book warehouse if this is only an administrator function then a request for it as a search option for every user seems desirable.

Dick52: and when a Catawiki number disappears only if an item is merged or rejected, I assume

That's right.

Scam: Are those numbers recycled? If not, when merging, the missing item could be kept in the database as an alias, you will automatically arrive at the correct item. I think this is an important point because as a Catalog you have to provide the possibility to link unambiguously to an item.

The numbers are not recycled. Good suggestion. At the moment it already works like this in collection areas: http://www.catawiki.nl/catalogus/Vinyl-plaat-e…

Here you can see that the staging area is no longer active, and you will be directed to the correct staging area.

The point remains, of course, that if an item is rejected, you still have a non-existent number. Incidentally, you can only reject an item as long as it is only in the collection of the person who entered it. If someone else has added it to their collection, you must merge the item in question.

Dick52 if this is only an administrator function then a request for it as a search option for any user seems desirable.

Let me come back to you.
