I've been adding several coins to my collection in OmniCoin lately and ran into the fact that I have to repeat many similar things for each coin.


Would it be possible to create a system in which you can enter multiple coins more easily?

one way would be to create a form with several fields, organized like a table and that you can fill in and then post them all at the same time.


Another system could be: the member creates a comma separated values file with al required data in a specific sequence and loads that file into OmniCoin, which then processes the file.


each line is one coin and could look like:


United States, 2005, UNC, Ocean View Nickel "D", c:\pictures\D_obverse.jpg, c:\pictures\D_reverse.jpg
United States, 2005, UNC, Ocean View Nickel "P", c:\pictures\P_obverse.jpg, c:\pictures\P_reverse.jpg

etc. etc.


This would also apply for BanknoteBank.com obviously.


http://www.eurobilltracker.com uses both systems for users who have entered more than a certain amount of notes, and it makes it a lot easier and faster to enter notes.

Good idea, Erik. I'd have to think about possible ways of implementing it. bthumbsup.gif

Let me know if you want more info on how the eurobilltracker site has it implemented.

I'm a member there with enough notes entered in the system to have the super-duper-deluxe entering system enabled.
