Printers link on pages like mints [solved]

Hello,

As we have on coins pages a link to mint, can we have the same for printers?

Coins:

Versus banknotes:

Also, can we place on top of the printer page the message below:

Here is a list of the xxx printer referenced on Numista. If a printer is missing, please open a ticket.

Hello,

This is implemented.

See https://en.numista.com/catalogue/printers.php

and for example https://en.numista.com/catalogue/printer.php?id=1

Not sure it works well if I go on this page:

De La Rue, London, United Kingdom – Numista

I can find this medal:

Married in War - Germany (1871-1948) – Numista

Who is link to this mint:

Munich, Germany – Numista

I guess the problem is due to numerotation …

I saw new language labels in these pages and I translated to Spanish.😃

In most cases is used the word “printer/s”, but in https://en.numista.com/catalogue/printers.php is used “printing compañies” (only in English; in French “imprimeur/s” is used always, and I do same in Spanish with “impresor/es”.

The problem is the link to exonumia of a printer, search the code of this printer in field mint.

In exonumia is need both filters: mint (for exonumia like coins) and printer (for paper exonumia).

I suppose there is not a mint with paper object, and there is not a printer with object like coins…

What about the FNMT?

And from my country…🤭

In the current model we have two list (mints and printers) and some companies are duplicated (because are issuers of coins and banknotes, or exonumia like coins and exonumia made by paper). For example, Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre, Spain

• https://en.numista.com/catalogue/mint.php?id=24
• https://en.numista.com/catalogue/printer.php?id=70

I do not if better have two list split like now or join in only one list “Mints and printers” (and only one search button) .

If we have two list like now (mints and printers), also can create an only one select button “Mint or printer” with both list, with options:
(this is code, users do not see any id)

• Mints
  • id=m1 => Munich, Germany
  • id=m2 => Staatliche Münze Baden-Württemberg, Stuttgart, Germany
  • id=m3 => Staatliche Münze Baden-Württemberg, Karlsruhe, Germany
  • id=m4 => Hamburgische Münze, Germany
  • …
  • id=m24 => Royal Mint of Spain, Madrid, Spain
  • …
• Printers
  • id=p1 => De La Rue, London, United Kingdom
  • id=p2 => Oesterreichische Banknoten- und Sicherheitsdruck GmbH, Vienna, Austria
  • id=p3 => Croatian state printer, Zagreb, Croatia
  • id=p4 => American Banknote Corporation, Ottawa,New York, United States
  • …
  • id=p70 => Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre, Spain
  • ...

If we select id=m4, the program search mint id=4.
If we select id=p4, the program search printer id=4.

The search by printer is not supported for the exonumia section. I deactivated the link for the moment, until I fix it.

The search by Printer is now supported for Exonumia. You can select either Printer or Mint:

The links on the Printers' page are also fixed.

@dzmitry.huletski, you removed the “Design” filter in the exonumia search.

Is it intentional or a mistake?

It is intentional, on the request of Xavier

Ok.

Another… 😈

A small design bug (or not!): in the three boxes with filters (coins, banknotes and exonumia) the labels “My wishlist” are moved beyond the left margin.

Probably not a bug, at least I didn't touch this part 😃

Is the “design” field useful? I thought this field was useless, but I don't have much data about it so I might be mistaken. We can add it back.
The issue is that, as Exonumia now has a field for mint and another field for printer, it has one more field than coins and banknotes. If we keep the field for “Design”, the following fields will shift by 1 position, so they will not be found at the same place as when searching for coins and banknotes.

I fixed the alignment issue.

Really I do not know if this filter is useful (or used!). I guess this filter search in “Description with keywords” field… Only?

And the general search box also search in that field (and others). Right?

So… perhaps this filter can be remove from all (coins, banknote, exonumia).

About the hole in the filters box… I prefer a hole and see all filters in same position, but this a design topic, and there is no accounting for taste.

Correct.  For example Lady with Fancy Dress: 

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?r=&ct=banknote&im1=&im2=&tbb=y&tbc=y&tbl=y&tbt=y&cat=y&ru=&ca=931&no=&v=&i=&b=&ie=&u=&a=&dg=&m=&f=&t=&t2=&mt=&g=&se=&d=Lady+with+Fancy+Dress+%28Left%29+the&c=&wi=&sw=

I have never used it (until today) and certainly wouldn't miss it.

There is a small difference, but I think can be solved (interface is Spanish):

• The "Design" filter searches on “Description with keywords” (field in English) when the interface is Spanish and returns 1 item.

• The general search box, when the interface is Spanish, only searches on the field in Spanish and returns 0 items.

I never used or seen this design search before and don’t really understand it. The main search engine make this part useless IMO

Not entirely true.  I've done some playing with it.  Suppose you wanted all the coins in Numista where the weight was on the coin.  The main search engine will return 5853 results most of which have the word “weight” in the comments and not on the coin.  Using the Design search box returns 1790 results where the weight is on the coin (and 7 with a weight lifter on the coin).

Nice! Thanks for the example.
