[7.075] Possibility to have two SP cats with the same name [CONFIRMED]

firewalker
Hi,

there is a problem when I rename a filter category. Here is how to reproduce it (please in the exact same order!).

1.) Rename "Nudity" to "IT". That is possible, and could be considered as a bug itself, as I then have two categories with the same name. But well ...
2.) Rename the original "IT" to "Toys".
3.) Rename "Toys" back to "IT".

The last rename triggers a rather strange error message "OBJECT_NAMESPACE," see attached screenshot. Looks like a bug to me.


Thanks!

    I can confirm this one. However doing the opposite and renaming IT back to Nudity, and then changing Toys back to the original IT does not result in a problem

    Found the culprit in the confd-debug.log. There it sees the namespace collision.

    Confirmed. This is a problem related to localization. The categories don't have a name in confd by default. The visible name is drawn from the localization DB. If you edit a category, it gets a "real" name, which is in turn checked against the other category names.

    We'll not fix it in 7.100 since the required changes have too much impact, but there'll be a fit along with a category makeover in the near future.
