Grouping categories (1 Viewer)

[pantav]

It is possible to group categories?

Because now i have 3 categories: adventure, aventura, aventuras, refering to the same type of films. I am requesting if it is possible to merge this categories in only one (without a manually mantained method).

A similar situation happens with more grups.

Thanks.

You could run SQL queries that adjust the Genre field to a single name that you prefer, i.e. "Aventuras", but since you indicated you want a more automated method it would be possible to edit your scrapers to do this all automatic via the Replace node during the parsing loop of the Genres.

For the IMDb scraper this would be something like:

      <loop name='currGenre' on='genres'>
        <replace name="genres_fixed" input="${movie.genres}|${currGenre[0]:htmldecode}" pattern="(a|A)(d)?ventur(e|a)(s)?" with="Aventuras" />
        <set name='movie.genres' value='${genres_fixed}'/>
      </loop>

Another semi-automated solution is suggested by fforde here: Concatenate genres

Thanks.

I try the solutions, and wait for a permanent solution in the future (dictionaries?).
