Fabio ManganielloTo our #GazaVerified friends: some of you have reported duplicate donation records on your campaign pages, and some have been understandably frustrated and thought that you were being cheated.
First of all, I want to make it very clear that cheating someone going through such difficult conditions, and that I’ve volunteered to help for so long, is literally the last thought that would cross my mind.
Second, the issue is actually caused by a faulty implementation of the transaction notification on Chuffed (and it should only affect Chuffed campaigns). The full technical reason is described here: https://git.platypush.tech/blacklight/gaza-archive/issues/4
Until it’s fixed, if you notice any campaigns that over-report the collected amount, especially if they are on Chuffed and you notice duplicate records just a couple of minutes apart, please report them to me - I can manually remove the duplicates from the database.
Also, a reminder that the Gaza archive is open-source and that me and @davidculley have been the only contributors.
If you spot anything wrong with it feel free to file an issue. And if you’re sufficiently proficient with Python or JS you’re more than welcome to contribute. It can make a big difference for our friends in #Gaza.
