Add a field to see which 'server' the product is on

[aleene]

What

• Add "new_server":"off" to the OFF-json. I use it to detect product type.

You mean to distinguish between OFF and OBF? Why "new" server?

[aleene]

I don't know why it is called new_server, that comes from the opff- and opb-servers jsons.

[stephanegigandet]

new_server is something internal, when a product is moved from OFF to OBF or OPFF or the reverse. It will go away, please don't rely on it.

[stephanegigandet]

It should have been transient and not included in the json or the database, it's a bug.

[aleene]

OK.
I am just exploring a way to support the three product types within a single app. I need to store the product type for this. I want to rely on info found in the json, so I was looking for a fild that could help me.

[teolemon]

Oh you want to try displaying them without having to switch ?

[aleene]

Do not know yet. At the moment I support a history, which now contains any product type (and complains that a product doesn not exist). So I need to filter to a specif type. But I could try to support an ALL filter.

[aleene]

Still I would like to see from the json-file, which server (product type) it refers to. Maybe add a tag with the original json-link. As I store the jsons from time to time, I can no longer refer to the original http string. And I do not trust the image links for determining the product type, as there is not always an image.
