Add Tokens to Database

[adventus]

Have you considered adding tokens to the database?  That would be nice...

[Hays413]

I'm not sure, but the easiest way for Piotr to populate the database is to draw from Wizards' Gatherer. That being said, if the Gatherer doesn't have it. iMTG will not have it.

[Ember_Primrose]

If I compile a list of links, will add the "extra cards"into iMTG 2? As well as any other expansions that aren't in the app? If yes sjust tell me which format and I'll get cracking.

[Piotr]

Expansions, yes. Do you have Mac or PC? I use iMtG Editor for Mac OS X to manipulate our database.

[Ember_Primrose]

PC, as the Mac is way too expensive in RSA. (USD Price x 14.81). Is there any other way of contributing like an example then i can code it in Notepad ++ or Visual Studio or whatever?

[Piotr]

Of course. I understand you are familiar with CSV file format?

[Ember_Primrose]

Yes, but i need a example file with the correct headers and one example row, then i am golden.

[Piotr]

Ok, do you prefer example to be JSON or CSV?

[Ember_Primrose]

CSV, just remembered I can use excel to easily manipulate the file. As I said just need an 2 row example file, for referencing column names and formats of things, due to stuff like CardName, Card Name, Name, Card etc.

[Piotr]

Sure.

will start to working on them tomorrow, as my isp is going on and off repeatedly
Couldn't wait, in cardruliing what is the last four digit used for in the date colomn? 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000

[Ember_Primrose]

How do I use the id field? I am not sure what they mean, are they the legal formats? Another thing is should I add tokens and planecards etc. as a cardset. I have checked through the iMTG forums and there are a few posts pointing out gatherer filters, as for oracle text i can search the oracle of wizards. And if it is a yes what abouttokens, what should I do with card rulings etc. PS don't mind giving me programming terms as I am doing a dergree in mobile app dev.

[Piotr]

Excellent, try to make these decisions yourself please?

[Ember_Primrose]

Okay, will report tomorrow with progress.

[Piotr]

I like your attitude  8)
