"track" Twitter collector setup through web doesn't assign term ids

[libbyh]

I set up a new collector to use the "track" parameter. Here's what's in the config database:

{ "_id" : ObjectId("58e8408421e38520c599575e"), "project_name" : "potus45", "listener_running" : true, "network" : "twitter", "rate_limits" : [ ], "terms_list" : [ { "collect" : 1, "term" : "potus", "type" : "term", "id" : null, "history" : [ { "start_date" : "2017-04-07", "end_date" : "current" } ] }, { "collect" : 1, "term" : "realdonaldtrump", "type" : "term", "id" : null, "history" : [ { "start_date" : "2017-04-07", "end_date" : "current" } ] }, { "collect" : 1, "term" : "@potus", "type" : "term", "id" : null, "history" : [ { "start_date" : "2017-04-07", "end_date" : "current" } ] }, { "collect" : 1, "term" : "@realdonaldtrump", "type" : "term", "id" : null, "history" : [ { "start_date" : "2017-04-07", "end_date" : "current" } ] } ], "collector_name" : "potus-mentions", "languages" : null, "api" : "track", "collection_type" : "realtime", "api_auth" : { "consumer_secret" : "[removed]", "access_token" : "[removed]", "consumer_key" : "[removed]", "access_token_secret" : "[removed]" }, "active" : 1, "params" : { }, "error_codes" : [ ], "project_id" : "5886bdea21e38564ac1ccfd8", "collector" : { "collect" : 1, "run" : 1, "update" : 0 }, "location" : null, "stream_limit_loss" : { "counts" : [ ], "total" : 0 }, "rate_limit_count" : 0, "error_code" : 0 }

Don't the terms need IDs? Or do only handles get IDs?

[libbyh]

Just setup another one using the "follow" parameter, and all terms have ids.

The prroblem is that the tweets db is always empty and let's not remove the ids as it works as the primary key ,Yes the terms need ,Id,because the termid is only used for the lookup

[libbyh]

So track collectors don't assign term ids to the terms? We have at least two "track" collectors running to check this on:

• potus-mentions
• queer-fans

If track collectors don't need term ids, then we need to change the way the web GUI shows users data since right now those functions are all keyed off term ids.

Needs discussion.
