Updating Scenarios in Data Base

[Huib Versloot]

Great!!

Here's the deal. Scenarios that were added prior to the new "Venus" site didn't log the uploaders ID. To improve security and to prevent others from tampering with your files, Raz required a check against your user ID and the original uploaders ID. Since the original uploader/modifier ID column in the dbase didn't exist prior to Venus, you get the permission denied error.

So to fix this, I have to go into the database and apply your user ID to all of your scenarios that don't already have it. Lotta work, especially for the prolific designers. NOTE: this doesn't apply to post-venus uploads, they should work fine.

I'll try to get to KKR's and von Earlman's next. If other designers from the olden days need theirs fixed I'll try to get to them on a first-come, first served basis.

Please speak up here or send me an email.

Thanks guys, sorry for the problems,
Dave

A question remains. What would happen now if someone changes his handle to the name he used in the scenario designer field. I know that before Raz added the extra security, I changed my handle from Alfonsdepalfons to Huib Versloot because I wanted to have my scenarios listed under my profile. That worked perfectly and all the scns showed up. But what happens now when there is a check with you're user id if you change your handle. Is the handle the primary key and checked against, or does each member have another unique id, that is perhaps only visible in the system.
In other words, suppose KKR where to change his handle to Rod Coles (his designer name), would he then see all his scns listed under his profile, as opposed to now? The other question, will this trigger a "permission denied" whn trying to modify a scenario as the original upload name is not the same anymore.
