After a quiet couple of days, I unleashed a new wave of features on the site tonight.
Clickable hyperlinks for easy, in-place sorting; subtotals where you need ‘em; new reports grouped around vintage and varietal; and some small UI cleanups to put the cherry on the ice cream sundae. Fuller descriptions are below.

Varietal and vintage report
Add grouped reports on varietal and vintage. Reorganize NavPane to accommodates all the new links.

More totals
Show bottle totals for the main and pending purchase views in LIST.ASP.

Clickable column headings
In the main view (and the Pending purchases view) you can click on a column head to sort by that field. Nice!

Better UI for reviews
Subtle change. In WINE.ASP I no longer have a Web Page column. Rather, if a review has an associated URL then it is a hyperlink. It seemed like a waste of screen real estate to have "Click here..." text.

As always, let me know if you see anything funky or if you have ideas for new features. I’m tracking all the current loose ends here: *To-Do List

Also, If all goes well, then Bryan and Patrick’s cellars will join the community database over the next week. Wouldn’t it be fun to see a greater and greater overlap of tasting notes?

I also think I am going to start a little barcoding project: thermal label printer, barcode fonts, printing the unique number for each bottle from the inventory table, a sticker per bottle; USB-barcode scanner so that upon drinking you can scan a bottle to automatically remove it from inventory. I’ll let you know how it goes once I get the gear and start playing with barcodes. I also might add a field to the Wine table for the UPC code for those wines which have them. The idea there is that you could just scan the label from a bottle to see if it already exists in the database. Not sure how much of a timesaver that will be or how much of our collections will be covered by this. All of this could be overkill, but it’s really appealing to me to put a unique number on every bottle.

Thanks,
Eric LeVine
