When initially entering purchases, if the item is not in the list, it allows you to enter it in and the cost.

Occassionally, an item has been spelled wrong, in which case we edit it in the Items section of the Admin tab. However, all of the items are missing the 'Game' from the dropdown list... when you initially enter them, that option is not there (nor do we need it).

Is there anyway for items to automatically be associated with the game that you're playing? Right now, all of the items we've had to manually edit to fix the spelling, we must do the extra step of selecting 'EverQuest' as the game name. The rest of the items entered via the Purchase admin have the spot blank. It's an extra, seemingly unneeded step.

Also, for cosmetics... Can you have it automatically capitalize the first letter in each word? Exceptions would be 'of, the, to' etc. This just makes the site look that much more cleaner. Too bad it can't spell check too

Also, is there a way to avoid duplicates? Can it be made to check for a new item being entered to match an existing name and ask if it should use that instead? We had quite a few duplicate items entered in our items list that I've just cleaned up. Maybe a way to merge two items together. Right now I need to figure out which is the duplicate, note who has that one, delete the item, and then reenter the purchases again with the correct item.

All good ideas. It's a bug that it's asking you for the game, as it should only do that if you have more than one game on a site. This will get fixed.

I like the idea of scanning for duplicates when an item is entered. There have been a couple of times where I missed the item on the drop down and re-entered it. Now it shows twice on the list, and I fear deleteing one of the entries and messing something else up.

If scanning for duplicates is to complicated, perhaps an "Item Merge" type function would be easier to implement.

Both good ideas: Merging items together, as well as duplicate detections. Slated, thanks.
