Title: Move Place - links to one/both places show prefixed with apostrophe
Post by: canaltrekker on May 22, 2022, 08:41 AM
I've been trying again to work on re-arranging places on the Grand Western Canal.
The nearest place links show OK until after you have selected Move Place from Edit Information, then links to one/both places show prefixed with ! (e.g. !8hew)
I've previously described this on thread https://canalplan.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?id=145 with an example of East Manley Bridge but here's the list of places I've found with this issue;

I've rebuilt the database.

Are you actually changing the order of the places?

Are you doing that by just dragging the markers or are you using the move place option?

I think I know what's happening.
Firstly [Warnicombe Bridge] should be where [East Manley Bridge] is and vice-versa.

Secondly I think the user wanted to move the place [Warnicombe Bridge] to the LH side of [Manley Bridge] and [East Manley Bridge] to the RH side of [Manley Bridge] using the [ Move place] option under [ Edit information ].

The confusion might be that the [ Move place] option shows \"Move this place elsewhere on the canal\" (when hovered over) which is wrong as you can only move it either side of what's currently next to it.

I don't think this is possible without moving the place past each of the marker places (which could be 20-30 moves).

The best way is to rename [Warnicombe Bridge] to [East Manley Bridge] and vice-versa, and then move the photos.

Thanks for all your efforts on this.

CanalplanAC currently shows this sequence of places;
Great Western Railway Aqueduct (Halberton)
Warnicombe Bridge Winding Hole
Warnicombe Bridge
Manley Bridge
East Manley Bridge
Tidcombe Bridge
William Authers Footbridge

Order of places should be;
Great Western Railway Aqueduct (Halberton)
East Manley Bridge
Manley Bridge
Warnicombe Bridge
Warnicombe Bridge Winding Hole
Tidcombe Bridge
William Authers Footbridge

Bridges are shown in correct sequence on;
https://www.tivertoncanal.co.uk/canal-map

Please advise what can be done to resolve this and if there's any action I need to take.

I've made the changes except [Warnicombe Bridge Winding Hole] which I've renamed [East Manley Bridge Winding Hole] as there is no winding hole between [Warnicombe Bridge] and [Tidcombe Bridge].

Changes now reviewed and it all looks OK, thankfully the geograph photos also match.
I'm now looking forward to making a further visit to Warnicombe Bridge to add some photos for this place.
Many Thanks
