Can someone please add AEW.2022-03-26.AEW.Beach.Break to 2022 Please!!

Item shows on front end, You can save data to it, and then it just disappears

I've been deleting them due to them not following the naming convention, check out how other AEW events are named and add them in that fashion. https://www.thesportsdb.com/season.php?l=4563&s=2021. Episode numbers correspond to CageMatch.net. https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=330018

I've added this particular episode myself for you https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/1520454

Thank you for generating the event.

How about having something on the site that defines the format, or at-least adding a simple label to the input form to give examples so people are aware this is so important. Or even better, if this is so important, add validation to the input box to check on click it is as expected!

Hell, if there is sourcecode for this site, it's so trivial I'll do it

There's so few people that actually contribute to the editting of the site that a style guide has always seemed unecessary.

For future reference:
- AEW events don't contain 'AEW' or 'All Elite Wrestling' in the event title.
- Weekly episodic events should have the show name e.g. 'Dynamite', and the show number with a hash tag preceding it.
- PPV events should be just the name of the event.

This is so the filename doesn't duplicate any information.
AEW.2022-03-06.AEW.Revolution.2022.ext - Incorrect
AEW.2022-03-06.Revolution.ext - Correct

Sorry if my tone came across as agressive in the previous post, it really wasn't supposed to come across like that. Any help we can get with editting we truly appreciate.

Just as a side note, WWE events were originally created with none of the above given a thought and as such their naming is different for PPVs, with the date being including in the event.

I would love to change them all to follow the same naming conventions, but I don't have the time to write a script which could do something like that.

Just let me know standards and I will change on the backend accordingly. I cant also add file name hints to the new event entry page.

One thing I am unsure of is the hash in the AEW filenames. That causes issues with scraping I think.

Happy to go with what people want though.

@JayBird, regarding the recent added 2002 WWE events https://www.thesportsdb.com/season.php?l=4444&s=2002.

1 - The WWF brand was changed to WWE in May 2002, also the brand name shouldn't be in title.
2 - The Raw is War brand ended 10-09-2001 before becoming simply Raw.
3 - The show number is not included, see CageMatch.

@Curwise.

I was keeping as with the set in 2000 and 2001, as ive done it half for 2002 now, ill do smackdown the same, and then for 2003 I promise ill check with you first on the naming before putting anything up

I cannot edit the show names now. Are you able to run SQL over the database to update them?

Could you kindly remove:

https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/1540208
https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/1540206

Thanks

Hmm yes it will, can you give me examples of how they should be named? I've just seen how many you added with the same name

Also just to note if you add an artwork to one and then add another event with the same name it should auto lookup the artwork.

Hehe let us know how it goes as renaming all those episodes is going to take a long time.

I'd love to see an import from cagematch.net including the event score! Infact I might write that feature soon for this site as its cool to see a rating and find the best events.

I assume for date range from 2000 > 2002 9/11/2002 (UK). or 11/9/2002 (US) to

RAW is WAR

Then

11/9/2002 (UK). 9/11/2002 (US) to end of 2002


RAW

As for the numbering i have no idea thats a Curwise questions

https://www.cagematch.net/?id=8&nr=1&page=4&search=raw+is+war

As for entries, i've update the correct set past 9/11 to have correct raw images etx

Why dont we leave it for 2002 then as we have never complained about 2000 or 2001.

I promise for 2003 that ill contact you both on here to confirm naming before i start

I did 2000 and 2001 i think nearly 4 or 5 years ago

I think we might have to start again with WWF Raw, I tried renaming but there are a couple of missing episodes and the filenames don't match. I have a feeling the descriptions may also be out of sequence and also its missing the city.

Lets see what curswine comes up with first...

Basically every event should match cagematch.net and that currently is not the case.

Example
https://www.cagematch.net/?id=8&nr=1&page=4&search=raw&s=2200

Can i confirm that that they are ok on the iste at present and that was SQL on a Local copy? If so, just want to backup my Kodi DB as I don't have 1/2 day to re input all those again, and find all the artwork etx

IMO it should appear with the show name and number according to CageMatch, and any extra show names following that.

Here are a few examples:
"Monday Night RAW #1"
"RAW is WAR #317"
"Monday Night RAW #660"
"Monday Night RAW #656 - Holiday With The Troops"
"RAW #644"

I'd be for omitting the punctuation marks as I think that'd help simplify scraping, also it might be best to omit the "Monday Night", "Friday Night" (for Smackdown) etc. from show names too e.g. "RAW 656 Holiday With The Troops".

Like I say I'm working on a scraper now where I'm hoping to add match results and show card to the description and result part.

I just wanted to say the scraper is quite close to completion, hopefully before the end of the week it'll be done and I'll bulk add Raw, SmackDowns and maybe some other shows with unique cards like Heat and Velocity.

Can you please try and upload artwork, that fits the time period, preferably specific to the event, but also applies to generic too. Most of what you've uploaded so far doesn't match with the timeframe with things like logos etc.

@zag, can you tell me what you think the most effective event name will be and I'll work towards that. Personally I prefer {show-name} #{ep-no}( - {unique-name-IA}) e.g. "RAW #656 - Holiday With The Troops"

I quit. Wont be doing anything anymore.

The images where taken from IMDB for the period, I named things the way you wanted, Nothing is ever good enough.

"There's so few people that actually contribute to the editting of the site that a style guide has always seemed unecessary."

^ I wonder why???


I hope your new scraper does everything you want and more. I look forward like everyone else to have to rename 100s of files to the new way (yet again).

Take care both

I know I'm pedantic, I just want to try and make sure everything is as good as it can be. I even question a lot of my own choices, so I'm sorry if you feel I'm giving you a hard time.

I've just ran the scraper for the first time to add all Raws from 1993 https://www.thesportsdb.com/season.php?l=4444&s=1993 Please let me know if anything sticks out as being wrong.

I'll add more throughout the week if everything is in order.

edit Just added the first Nitros too - https://www.thesportsdb.com/season.php?l=4450&s=1995

Don't worry, we've all felt like this as well at various points

We appreciate your contribution and it has lead to some excellent new content.

Naming is always going to be divisive, but we just try to do the best we can and cant always please everyone. I think the solutions discussed are about right, so lets see what it brings. Hopefully a complete history at some point
