This resource uses IGDB API to grab data from games to your site.

Hi. Does this App support other Languages too?. Or igdb.com?

Thank you.

[Adriano Faria]

It uses IGDB API but it doesn’t has multi-language; only English. I didn’t find any mention to other languages in the API.

[WP V0RT3X]

IGDB is English only, but it's simply the best.

Is there a way to attach discussion of for the games that are listed? I mean like comment section or something.

Not sure I follow. You mean discussion topic? If so, you can enable it per category. 

[Maxxius]

yes, discussion topic. even perhaps enable to pick an already existing topic for its discussions.

You can use the build in fields for that. On our site we use clubs for featured games, so I simply put the link to the club in a field, looks like this https://prnt.sc/vfh4xi

Of course you can use topics too and place the field in the sidebar or below the main content of the game.

@Adriano Faria your Books application seems to have a cool feature called Bookshelf. How about some kind of button a user can click and add a game to his collection? Must not be such powerfull like the Bookshelfs, maybe just a profile tab with the games they own?

I’ll consider it when I have to release a new version. 👍

yeah, this.+1

[Adriano Faria]

A profile tab + button in game view is ok. A “shelf” will require a bit more work. I’ll add the profile tab and may revisit this in a further version, depending on how it goes on marketplace. 👍

[WP V0RT3X]

Yes, totally ok. A user can build and show his collection on his profile.

Any update on adding a game to their collection? 

Also is there anyway to add a new tab that would have like specifications?

No and I didn’t said I would do it right away, if I do. Read two posts above yours.

Is this information available in the IGDB API? Which specifications?

[CyanideBurial]

Well considering the last post on this thread was over a year ago I figured I would ask to see if there were any updates regarding the feature. 

Specifications for the game requirements,I found you could do it with the extra fields but was just curious if there was an option to be able to add another tab

5 purchases from that day to today. That’s definitely not a sales record and not enough to add this feature, which is huge and requires a lot of development time.

Extra fields can be displayed below game description or in the left sidebar but I can add them on a new tab. Not a big thing. I’ll do it during the week.

[WP V0RT3X]

You could reuse a collection feature on Movies, Books,... 

[Adriano Faria]

Books already has it. Movies not selling that much too. Maybe someday. 

[CyanideBurial]

Thanks that would be great! 

One last question. I was wondering if there was a better way to incorporate reviews? Instead of using the commerce style reviews,would there be a way to integrate it with one of the review extensions on the marketplace? 

[Adriano Faria]

You probably should ask to the review author (of the other resource) to make it as a custom for you. I honestly won’t add another resource or increase the price to make it look “better”.

New option per extra field:

 

New tab in game view:

Is that it?

[CyanideBurial]

Yeah thanks!,I noticed though when you select text area for the extra fields you cant use an editor or add html. Anyway to change that?

Textarea and editor are different things. My image above uses an Editor as extra field.

If you want to add formatted texts, images, attachments, etc., use the Editor, not a textarea, which is for plain text.

[CyanideBurial]

Oh okay thanks,totally missed the editor option

[CyanideBurial]

Is there anyway we can rename the extra fields tab or maybe it can pull the name from what we name the field?

Also would there be a way to order the tabs the way we want? Or maybe put the extra ones on the end?
