Arminius Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Select and contact a provider, create a web address, instal coppermine database - http://coppermine-gallery.net/ - , upload your pictures and data. - or ask someone with a running system like this to host your database.

elverno Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I place my medals on omnicoin as well as coins. I asked once to make "Exonumia" a checkbox with the idea that you could then still select a region and country. The checkbox would funcion as an additional filter for use in the search feature. Another checkbox I wanted was for "circa" (as in circa 1795) for those medals or other pieces that you could date within a couple of years with some confidence if not certainty. On the other hand this is a free service so I shut up and made things work as well as I could... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 circa would be useful, but I just pick a midpoint in the probable date range. It stills sorts things into a good relative order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I just place my stuff on omnicoin by country whether coin / jeton / token / or medal. Works for me and i've had no complaints about the practice to date There will always be `improvements' that can be made to the way omnicoin categorises and dates. Ancients in particular where the `circa' thing would be VERY useful. It also took me ages to figure out that if you put a minus before the date it worked to signify `bc'.......but that is more of a comment on me than the system. Like Elverno, i thought `it's free, it works, I like, shut up.' Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Orc Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Thanks guy's I honestly never thought about putting them up on Omni and I didnt know that about the minus sign before the date, thanks Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iosephus Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 You could try this relatively new site, which is set up especially for medals: www.neocollect.com I have my few items posted over there. Unfortunately, the site does not seem widely used and is predominantly U.S. medals at the moment. However, it was made with medals specifically in mind, with plenty of fields for various information.

The second part is a big challenge. Realistically, it will not be finished before the end of the year. I noted evlerno's suggestions above. Please post any other suggestions in the Omnicoin forum.

Thanks for listening and thanks for the site! Seriously these are minor issues to me. That said some part of my untidy mind loves to categorize (go figure). The two items I mentioned are the last bit of reducing to atomic level that I could think of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Orc Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Thank you to Iosephus for the link I shall look into that and also to akdrv, I am assuming from your positive response that you do not have a objection to me using Omni? All the responses are much appreciated guy's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
