Edit button on Alternate Lists doesn't do anything


TomSouthwell wrote 5 years ago: 1

Whilst putting together the DVD episode list for X-Men, I accidentally added a episode to a non-existent Season 7, when I clicked on the edit button on the alternate list page, it just loops you back onto the list constantly and you can't actually edit anything. This has led to confusion - I'm guessing not just at my end either, as @JuanArango accidentally then deleted the episode I'd listed in Season 7 whilst trying to fix it.

Also I don't know what's happened but I can't now get back onto the DVD listing at all:

same for me I also cannot access the alternate list, maybe i broke something with accidently deleting the episode.

But it doesn't do anything, you are just looped back around to the same page again

 

Thanks for fixing the X-Men list :)

If you click edit it literally takes you to the list. I understand to edit each individual episodes place you have to click next to the episode, but it's not very clear at all, which is how I'm assuming @JuanArango accidentally deleted the episode completely rather then just editing it's place on the alternate list :)

OK, it might be confusing, but there is no bug then or am I not understanding you?

No I think you are, I guess the confusion led to the deletion and at the time because we couldn't see the alternate list anymore it was a bug.

I think it might just be the layout; clicking on the Episode Name doesn't go the Alternate Episode, it goes to the actual episode.

(even https://www.tvmaze.com/alternateepisode/view?id=14 redirects to https://www.tvmaze.com/alternatelists/1/firefly-dvd-release)

This is confusing as in order to see some information such as the airtime & runtime, you have to click edit.

Maybe a simplified version of the episode page just for alternate episodes is needed, potentially linked to from another column.

Indeed there is no dedicated view page for alternate episodes, the list simply refers you to the underlying episode entries.
