Transfer selected data from one election to another #86

Open medhatelmasry opened 5 years ago

medhatelmasry commented 5 years ago

When creating a new election, instead of recreating all the information from scratch, it should be possible to copy over selected data from a previous election.

Victor Sze added feature to copy an election. This, however, breaks with first election and crashes the site.

Joey fixed the bug when copying the first election.

Crashing the site is unrelated to this issue and happens when you delete an election that is currently managed / selected.

add prefix "copy to" + index on election that was copied

Opened new issue for this bug.

For copying: When deleting a candidate, the image associated with them is also deleted. We should either change this or upload duplicate images when copying.

It is necessary to make copies of all images when an election is being copied.

joey-tang commented 4 years ago

I made a mistake in my earlier comment, deletion happens on editing a candidate and replacing that image.

I added a check on this method so the default.jpg file is never removed, copied elections will now have its candidates use this image per Medhat's recommendation.
