Talk:Item Type being truncated

Forums: Index > Village pump > Item Type being truncated

Item types are being truncated in quest loot lists. Not all items, but at least Large Shield and Tower Shield are losing the "Shield" part of the Type. But not all two-word Types are being truncated either, as Long Sword seems to be displaying just fine. ⇒ Niminae (Contribs • Message) 20:33, January 2, 2018 (EST)

  • Can you give a link to an example so I can look into it please? :)  👟 ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message) 👟 23:46, January 3, 2018 (EST)
  • Most things using T:Named items category, for example Category:Into_the_Mists_loot has the small shield Warsword Shield. In the Type column, it says Small, rather than Small Shield.--⇒ Cru121 (Contribs • Message) 03:04, January 4, 2018 (EST)
  • Also see Oath of Vengeance. There are two cases of a Large Shield just displaying as "Large." --⇒ Niminae (Contribs • Message) 03:19, January 4, 2018 (EST)
    • Okay, so that seems to be working as designed. If you look at the source of those item pages, you will see |type=small and |type=large respectively. So, it's not being truncated, it's just not working as you expect it to. I will look into changing it. ⇒ DDOstream (Contribs • Message) 08:53, January 9, 2018 (EST)
      ✔ Done: You'll just have to wait for all the DPL tables to purge through the caches in 24 to 48 hours. Thanks. ⇒ DDOstream (Contribs • Message) 08:59, January 9, 2018 (EST)
    • Hopefully that will take care of it, and thanks. I've just noticed that Orbs can show up as "Orb shield" for some reason. See Fresh-baked_Dreams. Dunno if that is an associated issue, a new one, or an unintended consequence of your change. Type is set to just 'Orb' for Item:The_Mistfallen and Item:The_Legendary_Mistfallen. --⇒ Niminae (Contribs • Message) 20:29, January 10, 2018 (EST)
