[FM Discuss] what the deal is with names and importing books

[adam hyde]

so...I worked out what these issues are with titles for manual.

essentially, before you import your favourite manual, check the old fm
page to see if it has the correct title in the title field. This means
open up a page similar to this:
http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/arrange/AudioProduction

And edit the *top* field (where it says 'Audio Production' in this
example) to say what you want...not in this manual of course...but in
the manual you are importing. You do _not_ need to be logged into FM to
do this.

Then import your manual.

The import process takes the name of the manual from this title field.
If correctly set then all works well. But the Video Production manual
was called, for example, 'TITLE' and the Audio Production manual was
called 'INTRODUCTION'

hence the wrong titles were imported. The origin of this error is not
booki but me :) I should have been clear about checking this before
importing began. Booki worked correctly, I didn't.

So apologies...I will correct those bugs in due time ;)

as for the manual you mentioned Mick - I fixed them...I will also fix
the ones John mentioned. John will also, by the way, import all manual
before xmas. There are some that are slow to come to the surface, so we
will dig them out then close down the old fm in the new year...
