Mark an elephpant as "not interested in" for trades

Open asgrim opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

I'd like to be able to mark an elePHPant as one that I am not interested in, so that people don't ask me for trades.

My scenario is that I'm waiting for a few elePHPants to reach me that I don't actually have yet. Lets say I'm waiting for a hypothetical maroon elePHPant. The issue is I get trade notifications like "Can I swap my maroon elePHPant for one of your Roave elephpants"? To avoid this, I should be able to mark the maroon elePHPant in some way so it doesn't show in trades that I want to acquire this maroon elePHPant.

My current workaround is that I just mark all the ones I will eventually acquire as already having, but then this skews the table, makes it look like I possess more elePHPants than I really do.

we have to discuss a way to implement this solution

Hey, I'm interested in discussing this feature, then develop it.

And I think we could also add the option to set how many elePHPants your want to trade, per species.

e.g. : I have 2 Original Blue - First Blue elePHPants. So I will appear in trade area with 1 Original Blue - First Blue to trade. But I would like to keep this 2 buddies because one is the Nexen model and the other the Alter Way.

Hi, what about setting a "keeping limit" per elephpant ? Today that limit is 1 for everyone, for every elephpant type. If this was changeable on My Herd page, then I could set my herd :

  • Enfys : I have 2, I'm keeping 1 (1 is tradable)
  • HaPHPy : I have 1, I'm keeping 0 (the only one I have is tradable)
  • Las Vegas : I have 0, I'm keeping 0 (I don't want any to trade)
  • ConFoo : I have 6, I'm keeping 6 (because I want to keep them all)
  • GrandPa : I have 1, I'm keeping 4 (because I want to have more, up to 4)

We could add a column named "keeping" in elephpant_user table, with 1 as default

I have to say that proposal handles several problems, but this seems only useful for large collections and a little too complicated for the majority of users... So I guess that should be hidden by default, and visible with additional clicks.

What do you think ?
