Disable create a new raidname ability for raidleader

[itanivalkyrie]

Hello,

we are a lot of raidleader on the raidplanner and i would like to not let them create new raid name, just choose existing one with existing raid picture.

Raidleader don't use the same "naming protocol" so we have 3 or 4 raidname for the same raid. Example : Titan Ex or TitanEX or Titan - EX

Is it possible ? is it a feature to develop ? Actually, i must clean the database from time to time & with the phpbb forum posting, it make a lot of 404 error once the raid are deleted.

Thanks in advance for your answer.

While such a switch is possible I would propose a different (maybe additional) solution. It's a little bit harder to do but also a quite interesting task for me ^_^

I could implement auto completion + fallback for the input field. So if a raidlead starts typing there will be a suggestion of the most fitting name already entered. If a location with the same name as an already existing one is submitted, the existing one will be chosen instead. (see http://www.ajaxdaddy.com/demo-jquery-autocomplete.html for an example)

If this "one suggestion in the input field behind the cursor" solution does not work (for whatever technical reason), I could also implement a filter on the dropdown. So once a user starts typing the location dropdown will pop up below with only the fitting locations life filtered. This will probably encourage raidleads to click on an already existing raid instead of entering a new one. (see http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/ for an example)

It can be a good solution :-). Good luck with this challenge. If you have no time to do this, don't worry. I'll try to find a way to disable raid naming.
