Two ideas for the reference catalogues [solved]

Hello,

I have two small ideas to improve the display of the reference catalogues:

1. Fix the width of the images, so that pages like these look consistent:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/catalogue.php?id=51

Currently, some images are wider than others. I think 140px would work well

2. Display Volumes with different codes in the same listing, just like Volumes with the same code.

For example, each RIC volume has a different page: RIC I, ... RIC X. But it would be nice to see them together, just like the MIR volumes.
Maybe we can have a field in the database for "same as"?

​It would be nice to be able to click on the picture to enlarge it as for a coin.
I notice the download of the catalogues, would be nicer to make the word Download clickable instead of showing the full hyperlink ....

​That would be very nice indeed. Now sometimes the text is so small you can't even read what's written on the cover.

Hello,

The idea #2 was implemented.
See the RIC for example: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/catalogue.php?id=448

Regarding the idea #1: you found a very specific example where pictures indeed lack uniformity. I'm actually not sure the real books look like.
Most pictures are 140px wide, but for this series the pictures are 200px high to tackle the various formats of the pictures.

Full size pictures could be nice, but I'm not sure it's really worth the effort.

For download links, I prefer clearly showing that you are navigating to another website. Additionally, some catalogues have several download links. For example: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/catalogue.php?id=1751

Many thanks!
