matthew.brough Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Is a screenshot a real desire? I can add them if required but it will take forever with so many manuals. If you want a galaxy manual isn't the title enough? What value does the screenshot add? www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxo Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 For those not sure. For the site owners whims. We managed it before, just takes a bit of time. As you have noticed. You and the rest of us agreed to "Make the best possible manuals section" So shall we do it right or take short cuts? But I voluntered to help, not do every UL going.

matthew.brough Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 I was just thinking its 18 months since the transfer of the manuals was talked about and only a small minority seem to have made it across. Maybe a plan would be to take a little more time on the popular makes such as galaxy with screenshots and skip the more rare ones for time reasons to get them live on the site? www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxo Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 PS Galaxy How many varients? Like Aritech.............. Wait till I do BPT, seen the sub sections there? I was just thinking its 18 months since the transfer of the manuals was talked about and only a small minority seem to have made it across. Maybe a plan would be to take a little more time on the popular makes such as galaxy with screenshots and skip the more rare ones for time reasons to get them live on the site? Yes I know I was one of the first to ask for rights ect. Now taken this long. As I also said why all the older stuff. This is like repeating myself 20 times. And add screen shots its been asked for and makes searching for others easier., Thats it, I`m done for the night on this subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew.brough Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 I wonder if there is some software that could automate some of it. Ill take a look. I don't mind doing the uploads as I have 100mb upload so it takes no time at all, it's the fiddling about that takes all the time. Ill see what I can find on the web. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew.brough Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Thus might do the trick. Ill check tomorrow. http://www.boxoft.com/pdf-to-jpg/ Have a look on the ipb forumsWill do. If we can batch the screenshots it's not much of an issue. It's doing it manually that will take years. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 One issue I have just noticed with the downloads section is, it's not good for searching. Take Ziton for example if I want to find ZP-1 manual, type "ZP-1" or even "ZP-1F" at the top and there are no results. Even if you type "Ziton" the only result is the "Ziton ZP3" I put there, even tho I know Matthew has put a good few in Ziton. From a bit of testing I think there are potentially the following issues:- * Searches seem to go lowercase, so it doesn't locate models well. * Cannot search for less than three characters, so models can be hard to find. * It only searches for names in the last directory, so if you don't put the manufacture in the title of the file it is not found. I know you can look through the folders, but I thought the point of uploading here was for easy searching? Should we agree on a standard title format as a solution? Or can the search be made better through settings on IPB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I'll look at the search settings I may be able to change.
