Thanks for adding part # to the wish list. Now i am encountering a new slight problem involving wish list when adding new models to the wish list. I am doing that from the Database page: http://www.diecastmodelaircraft.com/database Once i've found the model to add, i click on "Want it?". Now it just says that i have added the model to my want list. But i haven't even set a priority nor entered my comment for that entry. Now i need to go to the want list, look for the model just added and edit it. On Wings900 that is done in one step while adding the model to the wish list. I don't remember if that was better once here, but it sure might benefit from a better solution.

Noted, and agreed that would be a good enhancement. I'll have admin work on that.

Done, thanks. If it was 20, I would've typed them in a long time ago… ;-)

Quick research here shows what you were thinking will actually be stopped by your browser. We actually did a quick test and the browsers and javascript actually prevent this. It would be considered cross site scripting attack; so the same-origin policy comes in to play: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy

How many dates do you need added?

I thought so. File upload would work around that.

I have over 1000 items on my list… :surprised:

Purchase dates cant currently be imported because they are not displayed on the public URL that Wings900 or DAC provides; we cannot control that. An HTML import would have to be written from the ground up to allow for an HTML import; not impossible but just time consuming and would probably cause most people to be confused on which import to do - people can't even follow the current import directions, can you imagine how confused they would be with saving files and uploading them. As for as logging into those sites, we would never collect your passwords or user ids for that sites, we may be able to look at something where the import opens your collection in a new window, obtains the content and posts that back to DiMA for processing.

I appreciate that. Whatever you can do to import purchase dates would be great. Call it "expert mode" ;-) Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

I'm rather disappointed that purchase dates aren't imported from W900. Can the import be changed to work with locally saved "my collection" HTML or while logged into W900 rather than from (in addition to) the public view?

Thank you. I can see page two of available models in my want list now.
Much appreciated. :cheer:
