In fact we have two of lots of the "Saint" colleges, oh dear. I think this is probably due to our OxPoints import - I somehow didn't notice that the convention was to put a dot in (possibly I didn't notice this _because_ Catz wasn't in the list of Colleges).
Oh bother, sorry, I should have picked that up too. Can you delete the undotted ones?
It's just checking it, and at the moment it just outputs plain text. If Dom is happy for us to do the cron job thing, then I can make it output HTML with links.
That would be fab. Thank you! :-)
I've changed the output now to make the list visible:
CATEGORIES: Things should be in Postal Services if they're in: Post Offices. Things should be in Pubs if they're in: Wetherspoons Pubs. Things should be in The University if they're in: Colleges.
Things in Colleges but not in The University: St. Catherine's College
LOCALES: Things should be in Central if they're in: Broad Street, Carfax, Cornmarket, George Street, High Street, Merton Street, Turl Street.
but I think making it user-editable is more complicated than we need at the moment.
Fairy nuff. I am very grateful (& impressed) that you have done all this at all & I'm sorry if I just seem to be asking for more features all the time!
Now to think about other subsets. I have a few noted on my notes page:
* 'Internet Access' is probably a superset of 'Internet Cafes', 'Wifi', 'Free Wifi' and possibly some other things I haven't thought of.
* 'Oriental Food' would presumably include 'Chinese Food', 'Thai Food' etc... though I think you said we might just get rid of it as it was a bit of an awkward term to use.
* I've noted some burblings about 'Coffee Shops' and 'Cafes', but actually now I think there's a place for both: if the former means places that sell coffee grounds/beans/etc to take away and make at home (a coffee off-licence!), then they're two overlapping categories (eg Whittards or Cardews would be a Coffee Shop but not a Cafe; Greens or G&Ds would be a Cafe but not a Coffee Shop; and Starbucks would be both as they sell their coffee grounds etc). I do think this is a bit confusing though.
Enough wittering from me, sorry! How do you want category/locale subsets submitted to you in the future? I may think of others.
