I discovered a couple of things which aren't immediately obvious, so I thought I'd list here what you can and can't currently do on the wonderful PlaymoDB. If any of these actions are prejudicial to server efficiency, Heather will hopefully disable them!
I have used the spelling Klicky for a figure and click for a mouse/touchscreen/glidepad action
CAN do:
Numbers 2 to 5 are 'business as usual', No 1 is a way around the disabled 'set look-up' on the Home page and no. 6 is potentially useful for finding which klickies come in which sets -edit- and which sets contain a specific part.
1. Show one picture of a set by using the link on the Home page 'Show info for a set-list of your choosing' (this link takes you to a dialogue box: type one or several set numbers in the box, click on 'submit' and sets will be displayed). Click to show pictures if not already displayed and then click on a picture to see a larger version of the same picture.
2. Show all the sets in a given theme (from home page or link 'Show sets by theme' at bottom of any other page). Again, can show pictures and click on a small picture to see a larger version of the same picture.
3. Show all parts in a chosen category or subcategory (from home page or link 'Show parts by category' at bottom of any other page) NB clicking on part-pictures does not display a larger version.
4. Search for parts or klickies by keyword (from home page)
5. Find a klicky with one or more characteristics (from home page or link 'Find a klicky' at bottom of any other page)
6. Show klicky details and find which sets a klicky can be found in- edit- works for all klickies. First display small pictures of klickies (either by using 'Find a Klicky' or one of the other methods under 'Who's that Klicky?' on the home page). For any klicky which has a small green camera symbol on the description line, you can go to its Klicky page by clicking on the camera icon. Klicky page shows photos of the klicky, the Description of the klicky and the Found in sets information. There seems to be no way to get to the klicky page of any klicky which doesn't have a camera icon, though (and the camera icon shown next to non-klicky parts doesn't work either edit if you change the klicky part number in the URL line of your browser, you can get a klicky page for any klicky- this also works for all part numbers
CANNOT do:
1. Get more details of a part or klicky by clicking on its picture
2. Search for specific part numbers
3. View set inventories with pictures of parts
4. View set lists with counts of parts
5. Get klicky details by clicking on the 'klicky's head' symbol
6. Get klicky details where no camera icon is displayed
Hope this is helpful
