If you tested just before posting your message, it was maybe just after I fixed it :grin:


Ah, yes. It makes sense. :grin:

Late to the party. Just noticed the change yesterday :grin:


Well it is not so old, that update was published only 8 hours ago :smile:

I know when setting a picture it did not say "Fetch Picture" before. What did it say, because generally 'Fetch" is mainly used when commanding your dog to bring you something?

antp is there a way to prevent duplicate titles being added for say Spain, Mexico Colombia. I know sometimes I come across shows, and no fault to anyone, but the same title is listed multiple times for different countries. Even though the rules clearly state leave the country blank.

Just wondering if that is something that could be added to 'kick out or prevent' a user from adding dup titles in the aka section?

Now I miss the old style page, but I guess I'll get used to it :lol:
Is there any chance that we have option whether to use the old style or new style page?

Maybe just "Copy"? What would be the best label for that for a native English speaker? :grin:
"Fetch" is used sometimes as technical term to retrieve a file but indeed maybe it is not the right one there :whistle:

None :tongue:
Some day we'll have to make the front-end more mobile-friendly, and for that we'll try to keep something close to the current one as alternative if possible, but for admin pages it has not much interest.

Indeed, that would be useful to block it. When adding the new title system I already had to add that to avoid identical titles between original, transliterated and international titles, but I could probably do the same for the alternative titles.

Got it, thanks for the update :grin:

I'll try to pay more attention to titles being added by the posters. Generally, if I'm adding an alternate title that is repeated in several countries, I leave the country line blank. Or I will pick the most prominent country and use that one.
11/05/2024 @ 11:06:31: antp: Site updates
That's indeed the good way to do it, I think.
e.g. pick Spain for Spanish title if used in Spain + all South America.
Or no country if a title is the same in various countries that speak different languages.

- I can't remove the vehicle location anymore (some users always add it even when it's useless).


I found why I made that field non-editable: for several vehicles I found garbage in that field in the database, so I wanted to avoid people putting themselves something there, rather than by clicking on the picture.
I've put it read-only again and added a "Clear location" button (which makes the clearing easier than having to empty the field manually).

Added, hoping I did not add a bug at the same time :grin:

Generally Spain will have one title and Latin America another. It's rare when they match if the title is in Spanish. Latin American Spanish is apparently very different from Spanish Spanish. I took French in school, but I probably should have taken Spanish instead. It would be more useful in the US.

The most prominent Latin American Spanish countries in order are Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina.

Indeed, I guess that in some states it is an important second language
