 Maybe a multiple field (below item) is a solution?

Where you can enter the original titles of both the book and the stories Boekenmagazijn ?

That's what I meant. But maybe there are drawbacks?

This could be fine. The only drawback I see is that there is no one-to-one relationship if multiple titles are entered.

That drawback is indeed why the story-level linking is preferred. Especially for collections, omnibuses and anthologies.

(And so the linking of Authors to the stories, as with Comics, not to the item as with Books.)

How often the original title of a collection is important, I can hardly estimate that.

I would find it useful if you could uncheck illegal expenses. It would make Bommel and Tom Poes a lot clearer for me.

Returning to Original Titles
I would choose an Item and Story level
An album can contain more than 1 story. With Integral releases it is certainly useful because the title of the integral is different from the stories in the album.
At Item you can then enter the original title of the album / Integral and then at Stories the original titles of the stories that album / integral contains.

That is not possible. A field is at Item level or at Sub-item (Story) level, it is not possible at the same time.

Unfortunately. Then I choose to place it with stories.

Collectioneur This could be fine. The only drawback I see is that it is not possible to establish a one-to-one relationship if multiple titles are entered.

Errm you can, but then you have to organize your database differently: If you separate the 'work' as an abstract matter from the physical appearance, you can enter the story as a non-physical item but as an abstract entity, and refer to it (as a ' element of') in the physical appearance. (Books, comics, DVDs, etc.) And then physical appearances can contain multiple abstract entities.
The same also applies to the Author/Drawer/Inker/Color fields: Instead of making separate fields, you can assign 1 or more roles to a person that he or she had in that particular work.

Is there a possibility to create a field called Cycle.
Handy for comics. This allows you to link the comics of a Crossover together. Now I and others put the name of the crossover at Series / hero and they don't really belong there.

But also in a series such as this Lamentation of the Lost Regions, De consists of several cycles.

Let's see if this message is not lost among all those posts about the subscription. ;-)

Luckily I got an email about this forum post :-)
I can't fully oversee this at the moment, are there other administrators who see the benefit of this or not?

I changed a lot at the time with Perry Rhodan, there the series is also divided into cycles...
That information is now in details

is it possible to change the order of the fields?
Preferably (my idea) first author, translator and then draftsman, inker and colorist
Please read it

We'll wait a bit longer, until more names have been filled in at Translator, Inker and Colorist. Otherwise, most items will immediately have a blank block on the detail page.

Let's return to a post from June 28, 2022 3:15 PM


Yes, I would indeed put everything in one list of names. After all, inkers, colorists and translators can, with some good will, also be regarded as the "Author" of a work.

We just adjusted it. In Comics, Inkers, Colorists and Translators are now also listed in the Authors table. Just like screenwriter and illustrator.

In my collection
After a year of working with 1 list of authors, a disadvantage comes to light.
There are authors who are both screenwriters and illustrators. So they have a story either all written or just drawn and not written or both. This is especially common in comics, but it also occurs in European comics.
What happens if, for example, I select an author in Filters under Scenarist and I only want to see the work that he or she has written.
The page that now appears contains all the author's work. So both what he has written but also drawn, while I only want to see the work that the author has written.
