#3578 Please remove extra entries from the fesco-december2012 election
Closed: Fixed Opened by ankursinha.

= phenomenon =
I just finished creating the ballots on the elections system. Unfortunately, I forgot to add URLs to the candidates in the FESCo ballot (The other two are fine, phew). According to the README.txt, candidate info can only be changed by directly altering the candidates table in the database :(.

Could someone from infra please add the URLs, or tell me how to do it?

(I'd prefer if someone from infra did it. I'm not much of an infra person and wouldn't like to break the entire app trying to make changes)

The election id is "52", the alias is "fesco-december2012". The URLs that need to be added are the candidates' from the FESCo nominations page:

I've also noticed that previous elections have some info in brackets about the candidates. For example: Jef Spaleta (irc:spoleeba fas:jspaleta)
I couldn't figure out how to show this info from the README.txt. Any clues on this would be nice.

I'm sorry for the extra work folks :( . I'll be more careful next time.

Thanks,
Ankur


Hi,

I've added the entries with URLs. However, instead of replacing the entries, it's now added new ones. Could someone just remove the extra entries, without any URLs please? It should be less work. Even removing all the candidates would work. I can add them back without much trouble.

Thanks,
Ankur

Thanks! That was indeed the easier way. Please check it and let us know if there's anything else that you need help with.
