Databse Errors - please post here!

Post by Sushidragon »

As of tomorrow, the Samanayr database will be open to everyone :D Once again, a huge thanks to Jennalyn for coding it and to everyone who helped out with the testing! If you helped out with testing and haven't yet received your modiem, please let me know what you'd like.

This thread is for database errors. If it's an error with your own Samanayr, everything except its name can be edited when logged into your account (go to Member Control then Update Sam). For any database errors that you can't fix yourself, or errors for people who aren't currently active, please post them in this thread.

My little boy has a typo in his owner's name so I can't grab him, oh noes!

(ID: 056) Beat of the Wild Jungle has his owner's name is listed as "Takeji", when it should be "Takaeji" instead. :)

Here are some more errors I found:

028 I think should have Wedge Canine Ears
029 is missing head mane
042 I think should have Vestegial Wings instead of feathered wings
048 is missing head mane
057 is missing tufted tail
061 says tail tuft instead of tufted tail
098 is missing feathered tail
100 is missing head mane
136 is missing head mane
137 he's a lamanayr but it's kindof hard to tell if he has a head mane, if he does have one it's missing
149 is missing head mane
152 is missing back mane
156 should have hybrid tail (feathered x tufted) or whatever it's called, and is missing head mane
158 should have combination wings instead of feathered wings
169 does she have a leonine mane?
171 is missing head mane
174 says tufted wail instead of tufted tail
179 is missing head mane
182 should be tuftless and maybe a head mane? I don't know if tuftless tails count as part of tuftless or are a separate trait, but he shouldn't have a tufted tail as he has no tuft at the end
o035 has no tuft, same as above last point

Awesome, thanks for pointing all of those out :D Everything up to this point has been edited!

Regarding the tufted tails on the hairless sams, they're still listed as 'tufted' because if the Samanayr would have hair it would be a regular tufted tail XD Hairless Sams with an equine tail have a much shorter little naked tail stub XD

...this isn't an error. But I figured you guys might find it interesting. xD

I have an 'extended lineage' chart now made that actually works, after two hours' worth of fiddling. When I next catch Sushi on and can send her a few files to upload, I have a feeling we'll all be having fun with this thing! Here's the example on my server. It goes up to great-grandparents. Anything else would be too much. My brain's already a little sore from the necessary juggling of tables as it is. *giggle*

- Path of Ancient Stones is listed as being owned by Kimmers5Ever instead of Kimmers4Ever
- Bright of the Sun-bleached Sand's Dam should have an 's' at the end of 'Flame'
- Light of the Rare Blossom's Sire should be 'Ice of Sapphire Skies' with no 'the'

oh wow, extended lineage trees, this... is going... to be... amazing!!!!!

as another suggestion I was thinking of, would it be possible to add a link at the bottom of the search pages to go to the end of the searched records and vice versa, return to the beginning of the records instead of having to go all the way through using the next or back buttons?

Some more things I've found:

For the lineage trees,
Fury of Storming Winds - it says Pulsing of the Ocean Fury has not been entered, but you can click on the link and go to his entry and Fury is not listed as his offspring
Keeper of the Blood Stone - it says Unfurling of the Blooded Shadow has not been entered, but you can click on the link and go to his entry and Keeper is not listed as his offspring
Mystic of the Summer Storm - it says Mystic of the Storm Caller has not been entered, but you can click on the link and go to his entry, and he has no offspring listed
Bright of Sun-bleached Sand - it says Mystic of the Ashen Flames has not been entered, but you can click on the link and go to his entry, and she has no offspring listed
Burning of Night's Fires - his dam is Burn, it says sam has not been entered but when you click on the link, it goes to a search with all the samanayrs with 'Burn' in their name
Fading of the Broken Rainbow - it says Gleam of the Scythe's Reflection has not been entered, but you can click on the link and go to his entry, and she is listed as having no offspring
Pulsing of the Volcanic Shores - it says Pulsing of the Ocean Fury has not been entered, but you can click on the link and go to his entry and Pulsing is not listed as his offspring
Waft of the Wandering Lilac - it says Wandering Heart of the North has not been entered, but you can click on the link and go to his entry, and Waft is not listed as his offspring

When you search for open songs, you also get semi-open even though there is a separate semi-open song search option

I don't know if this is a mistake, an error, or just a work in progress, but on the statistics page, the list of traits has only two traits listed.

I fixed the errors Jennalyn pointed out, but I'm not sure why the lineage trees are doing that o_o All of the offspring are listed under the Song information, but not under the stallion's info.. I'm not sure why that would be! Maybe Jenn knows? XD

And I looooove the extended lineage trees :D So much fun seeing the different generations!

I'll investigate why the trees are doing that shortly. <3 Found one more error.

- Kahlira's Sam is listed twice, once with her proper name and once with her name as an apostrophe

Hmm, these errors are bizarre... but most of them seemed to have fixed themselves since you posted. Some of the time, it's the name the foal has listed and the name of the parent not quite matching up, like with the one Mystic mother. They had 'Flame' instead of 'Flames'. There can't be any spaces or anything like that before or after the name listed in the database as the Sire and Dam. That might be the problem? I'm not sure.

In the case of Burn, I'm afraid the search page is set up to look for names 'like' what are submitted, in either direction. I can't change that without it having serious repercussions on other aspects of the database, because I use that page for a few other things and links as well.

I think I might know what's causing the Open/Semi-Open problem.

Song of the Blood Shadow is listed as Song of the "Bloow" Shadow. I can't change the name myself
Song of the Tainted Waters is not associated with me. Don't know if I can fix that myself
Seeping of Tainted Waters should not have a "the" in his name in the song listing, since the Song is not associated with, can't change that either.

o172 has no traits listed but has feathered wings and tufted tail. Possibly some certain type of hair as well since it looks almost wooly on her mane and tail.

Editing in another:

o343 is listed as Kodalya (which I think I misspelled...) but looks like a Lamanyr and has all the traits for a Lam.

Zahra Ovaci's mare has the wrong picture. It's currently set at o358 and should be o359.

Drift of the Cloud-strewn Twilight and Alignment of Opposite Elements have the exact same image XD XD I think Drift has the correct image, and Alignment has the wrong image, lol.

I was searching for Sams with feathered wings tonight and came across this one...

Haze of the Winter Morning - ID: 008 - clicky

It says feathered wings, but I think they're draconic/batwing/whathaveyou.

Thanks for pointing me this way, LSF!

so I was checking out the animal mimics, and:

Flight of the Desert Rain - has the trait animal mimic listed twice and doesn't have the feature Animal Mimic - African Hoopoe
Soft of the Gentle Dove - is missing the feature Animal Mimic - Horse
Roar of the Full Beast - is missing the trait Object Mimic and the feature Object Mimic - Van

And then I also had some questions, isn't 246, Flame of the Waiting Dove also a horse mimic as she was in a custom song with horse colours and the other two members have the animal mimic trait? and does Peahen of Brilliant Feathers(038) count as a peacock mimic?
Is there a difference between solid eyes and pupiless eyes?
Finally, if a samanayr has accessories, could that be added in features?

And then some things from error list that got missed plus other errors I have found:

Shiver of Days Passing(061) - says tail tuft instead of tufted tail
Seeker of the Quiet Dawn(o172) - is missing tufted tail
Torrent(206) - Is a water elemental but is listed as species being samanayr, and is missing the feature Water Elemental
Flicker(o106) - is missing the feature Fire Elemental
Inferno(192) - is missing the feature Fire Elemental, and she's missing solid/pupiless eyes
Waft(190) - is missing the feature Air Elemental
Wind(o240) - is missing the feature solid/pupiless eyes
Pride of Ancient Honor(229) has a feather tufted tail but Lift of Grounded Sky(156) is listed as having a combination tail, are they the same trait? if so then shouldn't they have the same name to be easily searchable?
Confusion of the Third Degree(234) - shouldn't her trait be Integrated (Legs) or Integrated Legs instead of just Integrated
Down of the Soft Feather(241) - Has her name Dawn of the Soft Feather and has her certed image instead of the database image
Time of Gold Flowing(243) - should she have double wings as a trait(trying to keep things consistent)
