forum_emoticons.html	[quote=antp,21117]I had few time this afternoon so I started to add a new thing that I wanted to add since some time. It is not yet perfect, I'll improve it later and also maybe depending on the comments that you'll make. Now when you click on a make (from home page or in vehicles lists/pages), by default instead of displaying all vehicles of that make it shows a list of known models. Of course you can still have the full list (like before): there is a "show all" link for that. For some makes the list of models or chassis-codes may look weird, but that's always the problem with generic listings like what we have. Anyway, I think it is useful for visitors who will search for some precise model by clicking on a make on the home page. Due to the number of vehicles listed now (more than 160000!) such full listing was not really usable. Even for us, admins or regular members, it can be useful: it allowed me to find that we had amongst the Cadillacs a "Fleetwood Stretched [b]Limousuine[/b]" and a "Fleertwood 75" :lol: I guess that there are loads of mistakes like that which will be quickly found with these lists, as I already corrected few just for the Cadillacs. If you have any suggestion about that feature, do not hesitate to post it ;) This will later be extended to body makers (when I'll add field for that) and to trim levels/versions (also when I'll add field for that)[/quote]

Thanks, fixed, at least for vehicles pages.

There's a similar problem with the apostrophe in Chang'an: You cannot display the models by clicking on their names.

Edit: same with Harrod's, TN'G (should be converted to TNG anyway) and Xi'an.

Fixed... and I hope that it did not introduce other bugs :grin:

As I mentioned somewhere in the comments today, indeed there is a bug. I forgot to handle the "&" as I did previously. I'll fix this in the evening.

I found a bug. I cannot see any models of Shelvoke & Drewry:

also same for Cottin & Desgouttes:

Obviously it is the "&" which causes problems.

I will check it out now.
But I think it's great!

very, very, very nice Antoine! Now it is easier to fix errors and it is also nice to see how many examples of a certain model is on our database.

antp

About years, it would be like on wikipedia where you get the same page for models which share a name across several generations.

This youve done is very nice Antoine indeed, and very usefull, many errors are poping up now (e.g. i just fixed an Econonline), what is that of manually-made timeline table you say?
