Inconsistent reporting of unassigned My Cats

Post by MatsP »

If I delete an aquarium (because I've replaced it with another one of a different size, say), the "My Cats" lists it as "being kept in <nothing>" (the <nothing> is actually nothing, not the string "<nothing>" if you see what I mean), where I would have thought that it should say "not assigned to an aquarium".

That doesn't really make sense - it would do if I simply did a rename of the tank and changed it's size, but I decided to delete the tank altogether. At that point, the database can not know what happened to the fish. It makes absolutely no sense to have a special condition for this - it should be like if they had never been assigned an aquarium.

Fixed. When the My Cats page now displays a species that was assigned to a now removed tank, it displays the message "This species was assigned to an aquarium that is no longer in operation, so we've unassigned it for you." before offering a link to assign it to another tank - becuase we must assume it's not living on the floor...
