It would be nice to offer a dark mode for the site.

Additional context
Bulma needs to add this before it can be added to the site. Progress can be tracked with this bug.

Describe the bug
Right now there is no validation done on new Attribution objects to verify the data isn't duplicated.

To Reproduce
Noticed this when I update the 'Marvel Update' command, and got duplicate Attribution data.

Expected behavior
New Attribution objects shouldn't be created.

Additional context
Need to either add a unique_together constraint or other type of check.

The Website and API produce different search results.
If you search /api/series?name=Spider-Man you'll get 2 results but search Spider-Man via the Website and you get 51 Series.

Describe the solution you'd like
Option to make it fuzzy search by passing in a param or adding a wild card.
If there is a wildcard search it's not documented in the Schema

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've tried * and % wildcards neither work.

Describe the bug
When editing a user profile and the users profile image is uploaded

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'Edit Profile'
2. Click on 'Choose a File...'
3. Click and 'Submit' button

Expected behavior
The user image is added to profile

Additional info
Form contains a file input, but is missing method=POST and enctype=multipart/form-data on the form.

Solution
Adding <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">to the change_profile.html template should fix this.

Nope, but it would be useful to have a privacy policy on what information is collected and if the information is disclosed to outside parties.

I've been adding a few entries and the thing that is going to make it difficult to get lots of data in is how slow I am.

I thought perhaps that it might help if when adding a new comic the creator data gets copied over as it is often the same or simular as the previous issue. I see your after the the wider range of creators (ie editors etc) which can add up to a lot of people to manually add.

So for instance lets say I'm editing issue 5, then I want to add issue 6, I click the New Issue button* and some of the data is filled in already. Perhaps the issue and the series data but it's the Creator data that is really slow for me to import.

The concern I do see here is editor lazyness leaving data that has changed in from issue to issue, but if it helps to streamline the process then that could get more people contributing. Something that may mitigate editor lazyness here :) is although all the creators are prepolulated, have a confirm button next to each entry so the editor needs to make an active descision.

Alternativly/As well as, are there any other ways to ingest data apart from the GUI, could CSV/json files be uploaded to create issues?

*Perhaps New Issue button could stay as is and a "Next Issue" button be added that does the pre-populating

No it isn't.

I want to get specific directions for spinning up Metron API locally for development reasons. I was able to:

1. Clone the repo
2. Install python3, pip3, virtualenv which are all pre-requisites for running Metron
3. Run pipenv install to install dependencies
4. Run pip install psycopg2-binary to install psycopg2 on macOS. #3 does not install the package and throws an error.
5. Run python manage.py runserver to run the HTTP server?

I am stuck at 4, since there are many environment variables that need to be set, and I don't know which file to edit to add them.

Currently in credits the roles are sorted in a random order which makes it pretty hard to find the role you are looking for.

Describe the solution you'd like
Sort the roles in an alphabetical order to make it easier to find the role you are looking for.

Describe the bug
The incorrect new issues are shown at year-end.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. During the last week of the year, click the New Comics link

Expected behavior
Shows the correct issue for the week

It would be nice to be able to add images directly from image links instead of only being able to add them from your desktop.

Marvel provides an api with more data (like cover image, character bios, etc), that would make it easier to add issues from Marvel.

Describe the solution you'd like
Write a django custom management command to retrieve data from Marvel.

Additional context
Need to look into whether this use meets their terms of service, but may be worthwhile to pursue since they provide more data than the ShortBoxed api.

Now that TPB support has been added it makes since to add a filter on the Series Type (Issue, TPB, Graphic Novels, etc)

Describe the solution you'd like
Just add a choice field option on the Issue Search box.

I tried to create an account, but never got a verification email. Something went through, because I can't create the account again with the same username.

Is the verification email broken or is it not active now?

You're able to filter the /issue endpoint using a Publisher Name and Series Name, but you're unable to filter using the id's returned from the /publisher and /series endpoints

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a filter parameter to /issue for Publisher ID and/or Series ID

Describe alternatives you've considered
You can work around this by using the rest of the information returned from the /series to fill out the params in the /issue filter

Describe the solution you'd like
I'm the developer of a comic book curation app called ThreeTwo

I find Metron as the most pragmatic and scalable solution for comic book metadata outside of ComicVine. That said, I was wondering if you would be open to the idea of ThreeTwo allowing its users to add comic book metadata straight from ThreeTwo to Metron, with all the necessary fields. The most obvious benefit of this approach is that contextually, the users' library is managed within ThreeTwo, so it would make sense for the metadata to "sync" with Metron, loosely speaking.

Implementation-wise ThreeTwo would simply talk through an API exposed by Metron with authentication, and would push it into whatever moderation mechanism Metron has in place.

Conceptually speaking I think this would be a win-win for both ThreeTwo and Metron.

Discussed in #83

Would be great if we could drag ond drop images instead of the extra step of breowsing to where covers etc are saved to.

Also would be cool if multiple variant covers could be uploaded on the same (at the same time)

May be useful to give the user the ability to rate individual issues. Not 100% sure this is worthwhile to pursue, but down the road it might be.

New Feature
Shortboxed provides an api that has some basic information that could be used to create each week's new comics.

https://api.shortboxed.com

Solution
Create a simple class/function to import & create new issues.

Pros

• Less information to manually add.

Cons

• Shortboxed api only provides limited information. (i.e. no cover images, very limited creator info, etc)
• Looks like information is from Diamond's catalog, so the information may be outdated from what is actually published.

Describe the bug
The issue lists for character & creator detail views doesn't correctly identify whether the series is a Hard Cover or Graphic Nove

Expected behavior
Appends the correct identifier (GN or HC) to the issue name.

Additional context
Either need to add if statements to the appropriate templates or better yet use the __str__ for series in the template.

Ability to add comics to your collection and track if you have read them or not would be a really nice edition to metron, maybe something like how league of comicgeeks does.
Also being able to access this feature via an api would be nice, so that you are able to update stuff from an app built upon the api, or automatically track stuff from apps like tachiyomi.

Description
When clicking 'Add another creator credit' on issue form kills creator autocomplete widget above it.

To Reproduce

1. Go to the Edit Issue form
2. Click on the Add another creator credit link
3. Watch in horror as the creator widget above the newly created one is killed.

Expected behavior
A new credit inline form is added for the user.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Linux
• Browser: Firefox
• Version: 72.0.2

Additional context
Due to a regression in django-autocomplete-light.

The /series endpoint you can filter by 'year_began' but the /issue endpoint you can't filter by 'year_began' but can by 'volume', so to do a search on the /issue endpoint you have to go to the /series to get what volume it is.

Describe the solution you'd like
Either add a filter param to /issue to include 'year_began' or add a 'volume' filter to the /series endpoint

Describe alternatives you've considered
You need to call /series to get the volume which can then be used in the /issue search

It would be nice to migrate the test over to pytest-django to get rid of most of the boilerplate code

Additional context
Not 100% sure if it's worth it for the time to do, but worth giving a look to see what would be involved.

Anyway, here's a link to the documentation: pytest-django

Describe the bug
The issue update form isn't using the issue-form so that auto-slug javascript is incorrect.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Click the 'edit' button for an issue
2. Change the issue story and and watch the slug change

Expected behavior
Uses the series title & issue number to generate a slug.

Would save some time adding information if the characters & teams were imported from the reprint issues contained in the Trade Paperback.

Describe the solution you'd like
Off the top of my head, having a button to handled this on the TPB detail view would probably be sufficient.

Additional context
If the reprint issue contains more than one story, it would most likely need to bail and inform the user they will need to enter manually that issues data.

Is your feature request related to a problem?
Nope.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add support for Trade Paper Backs, which should most likely be in it's own model. Ideally, also associate individual issues included (ManyToManyField) in the TPB. Would be nice to also include creators, but without more granular story/creator data that would pretty tough.

Additional context
The toughest part will be the form widget to associate the individual issues, due to the large data-set which will cause serious performance issues if not using something similar to django-autocomplete-light.

Remove Manga from genre tab as it might give the wrong impression that manga is currently fine to add to metron and as it is still only a feature request #138 .

Currently, when hovering over a link in the footer it's not viewable since the hover link color matches the footer background color.

Describe the solution you'd like

Describe the bug
When creating a Trade Paperback the Collection Title field is disabled. Currently the field in only enabled when updating an already existing Trade Paperback.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Click the New button for an Issue
2. Select a TPB series for the Series field.

Expected behavior
When a TPB series is selected the Collection Title field should be enabled.

Possible Solutions
This most likely requires some Javascript to change the state of the Collection Title based on the Series selected by the user.

Currently you can't see what you changed or what someone else changed.

Describe the solution you'd like
A page where you can see your own edit history from your profiles drop down menu. And a page where you can see a particular pages edit history would be nice to see what was changed. And would be easier to revert any changes if they were incorrect.

It would be worthwhile to add a field for Age Rating for a series.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add an Age Rating field to the Series model with preset choices.

Describe the bug
Currently the Issue Detail template uses the Cover Date to determine whether to use 'from' or 'in' as a prefix to the Issue Name. For Trade Paperbacks this will sometimes cause an Issue to use 'in' by mistake.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to recent Trade Paperback that was released within 2-3 months of a series ending.

Expected behavior
All the reprints contained within a Trade Paperback use 'from' as a prefix.

Screenshots

Solution
To fix this, we can compare Store Dates, if present, to fix this.

Might be useful to add a field for the diamond_id, so users could use Metron data when ordering comics.

Currently, Metron only supports US published comics, and it would be nice to add support for Manga.

Differences to take into account
Manga is read from right to left and is in black and white 99 percent of the time.
The rest is basically the same between manga and comics except for the naming convention which us as follows.

Issues in comics translate to chapters in manga which unlike comics are bundled in various magazines like weekly shonen jump which bundle in various chapters of different manga every week and they are not released standalone like comics physically ( they might be released as standalone digitally but it depends )

TPB's are Volumes in manga and are the things that are translated and released in the west.

Hard covers/Compendium more so translate to Omnibus in manga and is more so a practice of publishers translating multiple volumes from japan into 1 volume in west instead of keeping them as seperate (this might be due to various factors such trying to release them quicker if they way behind the volumes that are released in japan.) And not something that happens in japan itself afaik.

Origianl Matrix Message

Will also need to look into adding country codes & international price support.

Describe the solution you'd like
Just need to add a simple boolean field to the Issue model to show whether issue is black & white.

Currently, when querying the Series or Issue endpoints for the series_name param should split any words instead of using it as a single word. For example, a param of "Batman Superman" should be split into two words and used to filter.

Describe the solution you'd like
Should be similar to how the SearchSeriesList() View's queryset is handled:

class SearchSeriesList(SeriesList):
    def get_queryset(self):
        result = super(SearchSeriesList, self).get_queryset()
        if query := self.request.GET.get("q"):
            query_list = query.split()
            result = result.filter(
                reduce(operator.and_, (Q(name__icontains=q) for q in query_list))
            )

        return result

Describe the bug
The Issue CreateView() gives the following error:

RelatedObjectDoesNotExist at /issue/create/
Issue has no series.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Issue List view
2. Click the 'New' button.
3. See error

Expected behavior
The user is shown the Create Issue Form.

Additional context
The "str" method on the model uses the {series.name} field which seems to be causing this error. Need to investigate whether this is due to a change in the most recent version of Django-2.1.4, since prior version of Django didn't cause this.

Might be nice to add genre tags to a series, since most metadata formats provide a genre element.

Need to collect from the community a list of possible genre types.

Title pretty much says it all.
