Merging duplicate entries

Hi guys,

there's some duplicate entries in the database. For example Offence has got an ex-member called Pal and an active member called Rooster, but both are the same person.

Could we maybe merge those two somehow so no information would be lost (as opposed to deleting one of them)? And then again, this is just an example, I am pretty sure that there are more of those.

/Frank

PS: Keep the great work up!

Commander, I never once claimed that the NoName guys did bad work, all I did was wonder about their database model. As for me not giving real 'critics' (which is bad English by the way), I think my recommendations about tackling both this problem, and that of the downvoting are not real enough for you?

It seems you're really bent on trying to make me look bad, but all you do is make yourself look very very stupid indeed. So from now on I'll give you the attention you deserve and ignore you.

One thing I want to make clear: I'm not for replacing the current handle-pages with scener-pages, but adding a scener page on top of the handle-pages. That's all.

Anyway, I made my point to the NoNamer's and will see what happens :)

Multiple handles for same scener now possible


Seven, wel I try to wake up... Maybe it's now more complicated to add things or so... But I can not find a way to add to the older handles a group, but maybe you know how?

I might know how if I could figure out what exactly your problem is, but for some reason I cant seem to understand your english...

I'll try to explain the workings:

First of all you need to gather all the handles under the same scener.
Go to the edit page of one scener and add the handles. (The add new handle button just below the upload photo button)

When this is done you click the "add group" as you usual find the group and now you discover that there is a new selector with all the handles in it.
The same goes for founding of groups, credits and organizing an event.
You can also edit one of the existing entries and change the handle.

Happy editing.

Wouldn't it be nice if this merging tool is available for the public?

Yesterday I found out I got merged with my brother. It's not yet time to get merged with him, but I am curious how this could have happened. And here I find the answer.

This merging tool seems handy, because there are quite some people using different handles, like I encountered some time ago, when I tried to 'merge' Mirage with that Drive guy, what's his name.

Eh, the one who was in Guns & Roses?

Yes Lars, I remember everything. EVERYTHING!
