Obviously not the same product but the db thinks they are. Guessing it has something to do with the 2012 in each title but I'm not sure.

It's because the product field contains items like this: "Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu)", and when you link a product, it searches for matches for both Secret of Mana and Seiken Densetsu.

The best way to solve this is to not include the (2012) in the title, or to use some other syntax (maybe braces) except in cases where it really is part of the title.

I add the year, even though it isn't part of the title, to separate the product since there's a game in the db with the same name and I prefer for the anime and game products to be separated in the Related panel (since they aren't related).

Small bug in the Manage Links section when editing an album. I was at Grand Knights History, adding a link to the iTunes entry. http://vgmdb.net/album/28070

I was trying to add this
After adding it, I guess VGMdb tried to do a redirect to the site, but it failed because it stripped the colon after "https," so it looked like this.
Quote:
https//itunes.apple.com/us/album/grand-knights-history-original/id465031095
VGMdb still succeeded in adding the link, despite this error, so I guess the database transaction was confirmed and then it tried to do a redirect, so there might be a problem with the redirect code in this use case.

About the iTunes links, I just remove the s from https and then submit, always works fine that way...

So I stitched these two albums together:
http://vgmdb.net/album/41066
http://vgmdb.net/album/41029

Notice that the products field on #41029 doesn't have a comma separating the products. I tried to fix it, but because it's stitched the products field has disappeared. Is the only solution to unstitch, edit, and then restitch?

Just make an edit to that field in the parent (any edit; you can change it back), and the contents of the field should copy over to the child album.

Is there anything that can be done to make these two products (or others products that share the same name) distinguishable from each other? Because on an album page they appear exactly the same in the products field: http://vgmdb.net/album/40395

Well, there may be some options, but they probably require redesigning the display of products on an album page. We are already using colors for something else (dark blue for "featured" style association between the product and the album. I'm not sure I want a rainbow over there anyway. Descriptive hover-text might be an option.

Nippon Columbia's album listing has 26 pages, but page 26 contains no albums: http://vgmdb.net/org/35?field=date&p...order=&page=26.

I've been seeing this lately. It only happens with engineer/programmer/etc and it seems to be random. They appear out of place for some reason.



That's from here: http://vgmdb.net/db/artists-assign.php?albumid=31871

Upon reloading it changed positions and landed in between the composers and arrangers so I don't know if you'll see exactly what I see.

Now that you mention it, yeah, I saw it for couple tracklists recently too. And that's the thing, this only started some time in the last month or so...

So then this is being caused by some recent update to Chrome?

I reported it to SS some days ago
he also uses chrome and updated it too but unlike dancey and I, he doesn't seem to have that problem so he didn't try to check further

according to him, it could be a problem related to javascript

afaik, that only appears in the display tracklist (for example english)
if you change for jap or romaji, the problem doesn't appear and if you return to display one (english) so the problem doesn't appear anymore
also, when you refresh several times the page, the disc swap change too until to have the right disc order

I ought to idle in the irc so I can know about stuff like this.

I wonder if anything can be changed on VGMdb's side to fix it or if we will just have to wait for Google to fix the issue in Chrome (that could take a while).

Everything's fine in Firefox (25.0.1) and IE (ver. 10 though, don't know about 11). Nothing's stopping you from installing another browser as a temporary solution. If you think it's worth it ofc.

Didn't realize it could be a Chrome bug but you're right:

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/i...tail?id=318805

Fix will be in next release

When an album title is too long for the "recent works" (3rd one) it does funky things (it's still there, just below/hardly visible). Happens in all browsers.

Certain pages behave like this too, if you resize the window.

Yeah, that's a known bug. Happens on the main page, too, for recently added albums.

I think I got this fixed for tracklists by inserting an extra carriage return into some of the html.

Fixing it on the artist submission pages is going to be more tricky because that code seems to be generated by a mix of the code and the templates.

EDIT - No, i still seems to screw up sometimes. I really hate you, Chrome.

Don't know it's a bug or not, but I don't understand why the "classification field" don't detect edits if I add or remove new field into it. Idea?

There are two places where the classification is set (when you're editing existing entry) - media information and supplementary information section. If an album has only one media, (CD, vinyl etc.) both classification fields should have the same things selected.

In a situation where you have multiple media and the content is different, these fields can also have different things selected. Example - CD1 has only original soundtrack, CD2 has only remixes: under supplementary section, original soundtrack and remix are both selected but under media information CD1 has original soundtrack and CD2 has remix classification selected [you change the media with prev/next].

Maybe I mentioned this before, I don't know.

Color coding is not used for products on the search page. Game/video/publication all appear in the default blue and it's pretty confusing for products with the same title but different types.

Case in point:


This issue can be combated by
1. adding color coding for products.
2. including release date of products in the search, similar to how release date is included for albums in the search.

In the example above, two of the products are anime and one is a game. The first anime series was released in 1993, the latter in 2012. So just color coding isn't enough to completely differentiate them, we need the date too.

There's something wrong going on with upcoming releases here: http://vgmdb.net/product/2772



I suppose it's due to the unusual title of the ED since the same thing happens in related albums, for example here: http://vgmdb.net/album/46037

Only happens in Chrome/Firefox, IE works fine for some reason.

Adding padding-left:80px; to ul.album_infobit_detail makes it look better, not perfect though (only tested in Chrome).

There was something similar before (it seems quite a while ago) and iirc the problem was the too long word (no spaces to normally separate the words). So I guess it's not fixed yet.

it's not something recent, I had asked blah or ss about that long ago (don't remember the answer, I ask so many things)

Hey, Illidan. Thanks for the suggestion. I put the fix in, and so far I don't see any adverse effects. I'm definitely no CSS expert, so I would never have stumbled upon this solution.

Is this fix already in effect because it still looks like the first pic in Illidan's post for me (using Chrome).
