Properly handle renamed games #22

Closed mrbellek closed 3 months ago

mrbellek commented 3 years ago

When a game changes names on TrueAchievements, the import fails to properly update this game, and tries to insert a new record with the same game id. This fails, resulting in games with the temp (negative) ids (and showing the button 'games without TA id').

The reason for this, and solution to fix it, is completely unclear to the user. Either this has to be shown to the user with a solution (merge the two records by updating the game name on the existing record), or be fixed automatically by the import itself. Possibly the TA url for a game can be used to find the record with the old name, though I've seen the game URL change as well in the past.

No longer a problem after conversion to Symfony!
