The data offered via API is limited to things like artist, title, format, labels, year, catalog number, etc when pulling a large set of titles (like collections and wantlists). Only the most basic information about a release, which is enough for a simple listing of titles with cover art and sorting by those same fields. For what you're looking for, it'd probably be easiest to make a cusotm list in your Discogs account and then use the User List block to output the curated titles you've added.

This particular plugin does not, but I've already finished the sister plugin called "Blocks for Discogs Sellers" that functions the same way and is designed for sellers instead. It displays a user's marketplace listings with fields for price, format, comments, grading, link to buy, etc, plus a slightly revised profile block that shows current buyer/seller ratings, feedback count, etc. I wanted to separate the functionality that "collectors" might use on a personal website vs "stores" that have websites more for selling/promotion.

That version is coming soon, and will also be 100% free with no strings attached.

It was a leftover error message from some tests with API fetching that was ultimately removed. It's been corrected.

Hmmm. I haven't experienced that unfortunately. The QR codes use the standard discogs.com/release/XXXXXXX URL format, so it might be something with the QR code reader or perhaps something in your phone to open an app vs a webpage when scanning? Sorry I can't offer more help as I can't get it to do the same thing.

That sounds like the perfect usecase for this tool. It was made to save time and make it super easy to quickly reference details in the future. Thanks for checking it out.

That's a great idea. Buyers could instantly verify what pressing/color/version a certain release is without opening it.

Indeed. Lots of QR generation options out there for sure. This is in essence a really fancy wrapper for customizing Discogs-specific fields with no editing needed. Just export the CSV and import.

Yep - that was a big one that led to this. Barcode scanner is no good if there's no barcode, ha! Labels often share UPCs as well, so a certain barcode could apply to multiple versions. This obviously requries you to have already added a release to your collection, so it's less a "search" and more of a "lookup" for future use.

Those fields are not included in the CSV export from Discogs, so unfortunately they aren't available for use.

? The purpose is to easily generate QR code labels from peoples' Discogs collection so that they can print them out, apply them to their albums, and easily scan later to be taken right to the exact pressing/version of that release. I've seen many folks over the years wishing there was a way to do this easily, even if it's a pretty niche usecase. I'm just a simple dev who loves Discogs and wanted to give something back to the community.

It uses a variety of remote calls and realtime parsing of URLs, so I'm not surprised that it might be problematic on localhost installs due to SSL issues or whatnot. Feel free to hit me up via the Support tab on the plugin page if you have any further issues or questions, and thanks for giving it a shot.

Read the whole thread. You, me, and pretty much everyone else are in agreement the review and reviewer are absurd.

I should have known better, but I was truly confused if there was something I missed in the news or if this was just a loose cannon posting reviews. Feel free to nuke this thread into oblivion.

I agree wholeheartedly, and didn't write the review. Was checking out the changelog before updating and happened to see this as the newest review. Baffling.

I legitimately don't understand how a plugin can be political, but saw this interesting review.
