Space Parsing On Event Names

[GregRajkovic]

Something REALLY annoying (to me) has been ongoing with Zwift for years. Requests to fix it while organizing rides has been “hit and miss”.

Sometimes, rides originating from Zwift HQ and posted on the public calendar have an extra space before the event category. It gets parsed out in some things online which are connected to Zwift, but not to others.

Can you please make some correction to prevent this “double space” situation in ride names? I think that the ZwiftApp software should be responsible for handling this directly.

Like this:

I notice it on about 40% of all Zwift events that I do.

This is definitely something we must drop all tools to fix

Send me a DM with the link to the event if you have it and I’ll check how it was entered on our system. I would guess that there is a space added at the end that we probably didn’t see (because why would you) when setting up the event.

Fix suggestion: don’t target a specific case where an extra space appears. Instead, use a regular expression to remove all duplicate spaces so you don’t need to care about the circumstances.

Yes, this exactly!!!
