First of all, sorry for my poor english, lets see if i can make myself clear.

when I'm on a coins page, I would like to see if there is any post, discussion or thread, etc, about that particular coin, or if it is not the case, the abillity to create a post about that coin.

For example, i just added Chilean 1 peso (KM# 231) to my collection, and i founded that there are some variations accordind to the level of details on the coin; as I see it, I don't think they are different variations, and I would have liked the chance to see if there was any opinions about that matter, without having to search in the entire posts sections.

My suggestion is the following:
Is it possible to put a link on a the page of any particular coin that directs to the posts about that coin?

Thanks.

Good idea, but the best case would be to have variants and comments added in the Comment section.

​I agree that important information should be summarized on the coinpage instead of having to read through topics and discussions. If too lengthy, I guess you can always put a link to the post in the comments.

Oh! And do read my profile page before you open a swap ...
Hard to do such thing:
  • this implies that all discussions about a coin are within one single thread; but, as on any forum, there can be many threads related to the same coin.
  • other way would then be to have a link redirecting to a search on the forum with keywords related to the coin, but this goes back to the exact same as doing the search by yourself through the forum search function.

Then, best way is to input variations details within the "comments" section and keep searching forum thread for discussions.

A technical suggestion: the coin page can display backlinks, i.e. all forum threads that have links to that particular coin.

To FacundoEche or moderator: Do you can modify the subject of this topic to something more understanding? eg.: Add links on a the page of an item that directs to the posts about that item

You can put a link to a topic or a forum answer anywhere you want
 example for Chile

This is not the idea… I think!

 

For example… this topic https://es.numista.com/forum/topic131813.html has a link to page N#51

 

The suggestion is, search, in certain forums, all topics with messages with a link to N#51 in their content and add to the page N#51 links to all topic found.

 

The search can be done when the page is displayed, or have a temporary record updated from time to time.

 

Also can be a mix: Search topics with links to N#51 when this page is displayed, but not always, only each 20 visits, or more than one week after the last search, for example.

Yes, you want to put in the coin page, in “see also” links such as:

No, this is not the same. 😃

 

You say put in the coin page the link of search. For example, if I visit the coin N# 51 (page N#51, link http s://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces51.html), the system (not any user) show in the page a section with a search link:

See also: this coin on the forum

 

I do not want search, I want the system search and show results. I want the system made this search and show in the coin page the links to the topics found:

This coin on the forum:

Both solutions not need save anything to the coin page. These link are show in the coin page in the moment of a visit. This works only if the url of the coin page was write in the message of forum.

As promised in a different Thread:  https://en.numista.com/forum/topic140945.html#p1129413 , this is a mock-up of what I envision for Numista's website in the future. 

 

After you do an item search and select the item in question, it will take you to a page shown below.  This page has either three tabs or buttons on its name:  Attributes, Gallery, and Talk.  It is up to the Referee to enable the Gallery and Talk page.  

To see the Gallery Page view this thread: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic44646.html

 

The talk page utilizes the current Forum style but on a more limited basis. 

This mock-up does not go into the itty gritty - this is just a birds-eye view from looking down per se.  So tell me what you think. I look forward to the comments. 

Coins dated 1935 or its equivalent including No Dates.
I am currently looking for the following coins, you can view, them on my webpage:

Here is a thought 😁

 

If a thread originated from the “Coin Page,” it will also show up in the “Main forum” to receive comments.  However, once it is solved or inactive for a certain period, it will disappear from the “Main Forum” and can only be accessed from the “Coin Page.”

 

If the original thread originated from the “Main Forum,” it can be adopted/transferred to the “Coin Page.” Once a thread is adopted/transferred, it shall be treated as if the thread had originated from the “Coin Page.”
