[Phpgedview-talk] zombie places in pgv_places

[<ezc...@sn...>]

I've been editing the place names of individuals for the last few days to get them into a standard format (street, suburb, city, country) etc, so that i use placelist.php to find events at a particular place.





Question 1...

There is no format specified at 1 PLAC in the gedcom, so its using/expecting/ignoring? the default, i.e. City, County, Stat/Province, Country.

Is it important to specify something after 1 PLAC?  If so, how do i specify my format? "1 PLAC Street, Suburb, City, Country"?





Question 2...

Checking the Place Hierarchy page, I noticed that the places that I edited no longer appear in the Hierarchy.  I checked pgv_places and can see a whole bunch of places with p_level != 0 and p_parent_id = 0.



Is there a way to get the places re-indexed?  I'm guessing re-uploading the gedcom will re-index pgv_places for me, but there's got to be an easier way?





Question 3...

Assuming it does get fixed, will setting the proper format in 1PLAC ensure that this doesn't happen again, is there a configuration setting i can use to fix this or will i have to re-index pgv_places whenever i make changes to place names?



cheers,

Konrad
