Add Teams to Cards Now on Beta!

February 14th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

We have launched the beta version of our teams functionality to our beta site. With this feature you can add a player’s team to the card when editing your collection, browsing the library, adding a card to the library or flagging a card.

All of the current professional teams for all four sports have been entered as well as a few retired, amateur and college teams. When adding team in list view, click on the “add team” link and type in the team name and it will automatically complete your selection. Click the green add button and the team will be added to that card just like that.

Select Add Team

add-team

Type name and click green add icon

type-team

If the team you are entering is not in our database, you will receive a prompt to add that team to the library.

add-team-to-library

You cannot see the team name while you are viewing your collection right now. If you would like to add teams to your cards, go to “edit collection” and select “just my cards” and add teams this way.

You will also note a different layout for editing collection. This was necessary to have enough room to display team info. We look forward to hearing your thoughts about this new layout.

We also plan to allow you to sort by team while editing but we have not yet built this functionality. We will likely add it in the next few days. If you can, try to add teams to a few cards and let us know what you think. We would like to make this available as soon as possible.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

    Awesome stuff. Thanks for adding this feature. Now Zistle makes it easy to collect every Diamondback card ever made. Eventually.

    Something you may already have in mind, but may be waiting on because it certainly complicates things: some cards represent multiple teams. League Leaders cards, for example.

    Also, minor sidenote: ‘Diamondbacks’ is one word. Your database has it as two words, and I don’t see a way to edit that.

    Yes, we thought of that and somehow knew you would ask… :)
    We plan on creating a tagging system to deal with more complex data issues such as multiple teams. For now, I would recommend not adding a team if it is a card that has multiple team. Also, I will fix the Diamondback name for you.
