Can't have 2 items w/ same model in scanner and printer

TÓPICO: maybe a bug
STATUS: closed
PRIORIDADE: low
Descrição:
I'm at my parents and testing their hardware via FSF USB Trisquel card. Their printer is multifunction so I first put it in the scanner section and then tried to make an entry in the printer section but when I try to add it. The site says there is already a model w/ that information that exists.

tonicucoz:

The system checks that there are no devices with the same name, I have thought this could be useful to avoid hardware duplication. Perhaps this constraint could be dropped.

Anyway, I think you should add the device inside the "printer and multifunction" category and indicate inside the description entry that that device include also a working scanner. This should be more useful since I don't think someone would buy a multifunction device in order to have a scanner, perhaps he would buy a multifunction device in order to have an all-in-one device :)

In order to add the device inside the printer category just add a space (or some other character) somewhere in the model name string, it should work ;). Anyway, I think I will drop the check upon the names.

If you add the device inside the printer category (specifying that it is also a scanner) then we could decide to delete that device from the scanner category. I think it could be confusing to find the same device under different categories.. see also this

Ok then could you delete this entry (http://www.h-node.com/scanners/view/en/70/Photosmart-C6280-All-in-One/1/1/undef/undef/undef/undef/undef) and I'll redo it under the printer section.

Could you please ask for the deletion of the device and insert a motivation (you have to enable javascript, it is the link next to the model name)? So if someone should visit the device page, perhaps coming from your contributions' page where the device is listed, he can see a motivation for the deletion. Thanks! :)

Indeed it's not possible for me to delete a device from the history (I should delete it from many mysql tables), I can only make it invisible. Anyway, the device page remains linked in the contributions page of the user.. :)

Ok the Photosmart-C6280-All-in-One device has been deleted, you can now insert the same device in the printer category :)

I tried readding it but it still says there is a item with the same vendor ID.

ops, I have forgot the check upon the vendorid code.. I've deleted the vendorid code from the deleted device (http://www.h-node.com/scanners/differences/en/70/0/1/1/undef/undef/undef/undef/undef).. you can now add the device in the printer category :)

I cannot input "Intel Corporation Mobile GM965 or GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 8086:2a02" because it says "VendorID:ProductID is already present in the database. This means that the device you are trying to insert is already in the database" Yet there is no such video card listed. Hmm?

tonicucoz:

lembas, you had already inserted that device inside the wifi category ;) (see http://www.h-node.com/wifi/view/en/50/Intel-Corporation-Mobile-GM965-or-GL960-Integrated-Graphics-Controller-rev-03/1/1/Intel/undef/undef/undef/undef)

I will remove that device so you will be able to insert it inside the right category ;)

tonicucoz:
the device has been removed, please insert it inside the video card category

lembas:
I can't add the device, I still get "VendorID:ProductID is already present in the database."

tonicucoz:
please check if the system find your vendorid:productid code in the search page. Perhaps that model has been inserted by someone else..
