Made a few changes due to our new v2, aka Portfolio52, in particular regarding new fields

WHAT TO ADD / HOW TO ADD A NEW DECK
* New decks are best added by first going to the proper category (Custom Brand) and from the bottom of the listing use the available fields to create a stub entry
* Once created, locate this entry and open it and edit to then proceed with updating the description, images, tuck front/back selections, etc
You have recently given me Contributor permission. Supposedly this allows me to enter new decks, but not edit existing decks. So, if I follow the guidelines quoted above from the FAQ, won't I just be able to create the new deck stub entry, but then be unable to edit it to add the details?

Well, first the description above was how it worked in PCDB, in P52 you can edit ALL the fields right away from the initial add page (http://www.portfolio52.com/node/add/deck" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). I'll correct that part now.

However, since I don't have actual contributor access I can't confirm anything else, so I would love to hear how it actually works so we can get these details updated. I assume you can create and modify all the fields initially, after that I don't know if you can still edit those you created or none. Give it a shot and let me know what happens. ;)

Pretty sure I'm only at contributor level. I can add decks and can edit any of the decks that I added. I can't edit decks that others have added.

Cool, that's how it should work. One thing I know did change is before you could add new images to decks you didn't create, but with the new backend development system that's no longer really possible. So contributors can add NEW decks and modify decks THEY CREATED, but that's it. Anything more requires editor access.

I've now added this content to the related learning thread on P52. Updates were made there and more are still needed there, but since this thread will not be kept in sync. Instead, this thread will remain for continued best practices discussions. Any input into the guidelines and updates for the guide to match the latest version of P52 are welcome.

This thread is also now un-stickied.
