City names missing #8

Open mattfortnow opened 11 years ago

I received love from Chile, Chile (one of my testers is there right now) -they were in Santiago, Chile

Also, I sent love to someone in New Jersey, US, US -should be town, state, US, not state, US, US

Investigate cost for long term solutions.

We would like to setup the open source database.

This issue seems to be happening more often. Now I sent love to New York, US, US. As a temporary fix, can we make it so that if a field is missing then that field is just not displayed. For example, if the city field is unknown (or empty in the database), then we should show just the state and US (or just the country if outside the US). So, instead of showing New York, US, US, it would just show New York, US (or NY, US). Likewise, instead of showing Chile, Chile, it would just show Chile. It's not ideal, but at least it won't be showing repeated country names. What do you think?

Yes, as a short term solution we could do something like this. I wouldn't worry too much about it until we have a solid solution in the plans though but it's up to you.

If we decide to do anything right now I suggest that we check for duplicate strings (Cristian)

Cristian, let's eliminate duplicates for now. I will investigate the open source database to get an estimate on integration.

Rasmus looking into alternate location name database.
