Site Forum

I'm a disc golf card collector and have started to work towards updating the disc golf sets on the site. I hope to add checklist info for all Disc Golf Pro Tour sets, and begin to upload images. I noticed that Paul McBeth had two different name entries. Some of his first cards were in sets like Allen & Ginter and Leaf, before he had any disc golf cards. The majority of his cards were under a name entry in the category of "baseball" even though he's not a baseball player. At some point someone must have added a new name entry under the category of "Misc Sports" which had a handful of his disc golf cards. I followed the page guidelines for combining name entries. I changed the PID of the few cards under the one name and deleted it. I hope all of that makes sense, and to get to my question... Now when you search for his name under Misc Sports, nothing comes up. You only get a search result under the category of Baseball. Is there a way to change this? It would be nice if he came up in a search under Misc Sports, or maybe both. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!   

When you combined them across one sport to the other and deleted the profile, it won't be found in the previous sport anymore. The only way it'll work across multiple categories is if Admin puts the profile under multiple sports/categories, like Bo Jackson or Deion Sanders. Send him a message asking for Baseball / Misc Sports on the profile.

But he's not a baseball player - his profile should be under Misc Sports, not both.

Correct, I agree that Misc Sports is the right category. I merged to the other becuase there were far more cards under that name. I hope that was okay. 

No, that's not the correct way to do that.

Sorry, I misread that. It'll still require Admin to switch the category from Baseball to Misc Sports.

I apologize, I was following the guidelines under FAQ "How do I combine names?". I moved cards to the name that had a significant number of cards already added. I didn't realize that name was only under the category of baseball. I'm willing to do the work to move all of the cards if there's not an easy way to just change the category.

Or it takes a determined member to change 101 cards to a newly-created PID in Misc Sports. :)

New PID created, all cards moved, and the baseball PID has been removed.

Thanks, Dan!
