I post here what I will add this weekend (maybe tomorrow, probably sunday).
So if somebody has remarks/suggestions he can do that before it is too late
1. Country info
As discussed on http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=24077
I will add two fields:
- Origin: the country from which the car is, usually the country of the make, except for models made for a specific market (e.g. VW Brasil, etc.)
- Made for: the country for which the car was made, when it had to be adapted (e.g. Citroën SM with strange headlights for US market)
First field will use the flag icons that are already used to indicate the country of the members.
Second field will use the round shapes with letters, made by Alexander (that look like the stickers on the rear of the cars, though it was more common 20 years ago than now).
2. Body makers
For lots of Rolls-Royces, most of the busses, and some trucks, we currently use the chassis make as make, but then the body maker is displayed as extra info. Few members asked to have a way to search by body maker, and display the list of makers that we have.
So for that I will add a field "body maker".
But what about the name given by the body maker?
- add an extra field for that?
- use the current extra info field for that?
I think that the second solution could work, as it would look like:
[make] [model] [body name] by [body maker]
e.g.
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=33532
would be displayed as
Dennis Trident President by Plaxton
with only Dennis Trident used as make/model on the general listing pages (like currently).
What do you think?
