*New Trading System* Pre-release version: Please help me test, debug and improve it

[Jeniana]

Has there been any progress made with this feature? I tried to add a coupon and I got an error "UPC: field value should be less than 1000." Since most UPCs are 8 digits, this is a bit of a problem Also, the Category and Type boxes just say 1, 2, 3 etc and don't have types yet. I think this could be a really great feature when it's done

It would be awesome if there was some sort of master list of coupons from stuff like inserts and brand saver that are released periodically with all the same coupons, so if you have coupons you want to trade from an insert, etc, you could select the insert from a drop down and have all the coupons from that insert added to your TL. It would save soooo much time!! It could be set up so you can choose certain coupons or all of them, maybe? Just a thought...

I was just going to post the same thing.
It would be great if there was the list from the scan thread also.

Definitely, that would be great Wouldn't it be really awesome to look through the Scan Zone thread and with one click add a coupon to your wishlist?

I think a database of all available coupons would be great. Once this new trading system is live, I think the database could be built by user entries. For example, if I add a coupon for $1 off milk UPC 12345 expiry Dec 31, 2012, if someone else has the same coupon they can just type the UPC or brand and search and add it to their trade list (click a check box beside the coupon?) without having to type all the details. UPCs are usually unique so that would be the best way to search. But you would still need to be able to alter the data - the first person to enter that coupon may have forgotten a restriction or made a typo, or your coupon may be slightly different. For example, Royale is bad for reusing the same UPC but having different expiry dates on their coupons from Go Coupons, and most coupons from save.ca and websaver have varying expiry dates depending on when you ordered it.

If a database is made, and a volunteer is needed to start the database, I wouldn't mind doing some data entry

It would be awesome!! It would be so awesome if you could add a coupon simply by entering a UPC or something!!

LOL! That's like asking for the moon! LOL

The scan zone does not have all coupons though, typically inserts and save.ca/websaver are not posted in it and would pose a problem since the online ones will have different expiry based on order date

[heycinderella]

It should't be that hard. If one user have already entered it, it can come up in 'recommendations' when another user tried to add it to her list just by entering the UPC.

LOL! That's like asking for the moon! LOL

[Jasmynflower]

[jezz]
