Announcing: Registry Online!

FAQ in the above post explains it.

To further explain you can think of this process as two steps.  This step, the legacy data entry window, is just to get everything we all have from the beginning of our adventures to current entered and then reviewed by Registry so we have a base of data.  All this data will be tracked as "Legacy data" from this point forward.

The next step is to more formally track all of our pink sheet data with more checks and balances.  After Legacy "phase" the process will tighten up.  You will be required to enter your data with all information from you pinks sheets after a game.  This means stuff like you item numbers, value, gained/lost and who you got it from will become important.

For the Legacy phase, we know many people have not kept up will all of their pinks, that some chapters have fallen out of the habit of instilling the need to keep pinks and that some chapter registries have file keeping issues.  (like the chair moving out of state and with them go the files, or a basement flood, etc....)  So the Legacy data window allows you more freedom to fill in your holes where you have them that the future system will not.

Does that answer your question?

Officially, yes.

After the initial rush to put in the first few waves, it will get easier.  It's also up to the user now to update his/her contact information.  Janice only has to create the user, give it a membership number login name, expiration date... etc.  The other stuff is all user managed.  It will take the load off Janice eventually when keeping track of membership is tracked with Registry Online.  That's what it's designed to do in addition to track player data.

I didn't want to get anyone's hopes up so I didn't mention it sooner to make sure the script ran properly, but we just imported Janice's membership database with all the currently paid up-to-date members.  It appears to be working.

You can enter your CAP total now. It's all "legacy" just like items are not tied to a game at this stage. Later, once legacy entry is done, everything will be tied to a game just like paper pink sheets are now.

Brett, Ray and anyone else that worked on this project, it really looks good for a first release.  I can tell a lot of thought and work went into this.  Of course there are some issues but it is a really good starting point.

I've been offline for a few days trying to catch up on school work.

Thanks guys!

I guess all those late nights we spent coding, weekends spent indoors coding, ingoring homework to do more coding, staying home from work to do more coding just to meet the cRaZy deadlines in the midst of trying to stay human, get paid and pass classes all paid off. Hey! What better way to get to know someone!

You have no idea how good it feels to know the membership thus far likes what we've done.  It was truly a labor of love and we look forward to showing you all just what all this application can do.  You're just seeing the tip of the iceberg.  Wait till the rest of the system is viewable for you guys to use.  It's pretty sweet.

Now back to school work...  /sigh

So everyone knows that I'm alittle "challenged" when it comes to this electronic stuff.....

Along the lines of comments....

Thanks Ray.  I knew that it was something simple.  It always is .

Originally posted by Billco I'm wondering why the decision was made to have players input the gold peice value of individual savvies, rather than the gold piece value of the item as a whole.
