NON-ITALICS=someone needs to pick up the ball on this item.
ITALICS=in progress


1. YODA: Correct city affiliations on your machine so that cities/nicknames match up properly. This is kind of done. Yoda is having some issues, perhaps Vista-related, that are preventing a few teams from showing up properly. If this doesn't get resolved, you will need someone to be available to run DBUpdater after every sim before the auto-poster can be engaged. Either that, or a few team names will be screwed up in every sim results thread.

4. ANYONE IN LEAGUE: Provide a spreadsheet to me with the following columns: teamid, darkrgb, lightrgb. Teamid is the numerical id, and the dark and light rgb fields are a "dark" and "light" color for the team of that team id. These are used on player cards, team pages, and game recaps.

DONE: Locations of scripts sent. All manual processes taught to Yoda. <s>5. BEN: Provide explanation on how to update the following.


WEEKLY: stats (script)
YEARLY: pro bowl (script), dogbytes awards winners (script), season records (script), solecismic awards (manual)
AS OFTEN AS DESIRED/NEEDED: career records (script), player ratings (manual), owner table in database (manual)

SATURDAY MORNING UPDATE ON THIS ITEM: A PM has been sent to Yoda and RKG with links and order of all automated processes. I will teach Yoda the manual processes when we can both be online and walk through it.</s>


DONE <s>7. BEN: If vbulletin is installed, port auto-poster to match GEFL forum and user IDs.</s><s></s>

8. ANYONE IN WOOF EXCEPT BEN: Provide link to league regarding what information is needed for player pictures. (Just copy and paste the link from WOOF.) Yoda, the directory is already there. It's called "playerpics." Just drop the pictures in there, and they will show up on the appropriate player cards.

9. I need at a minimum an Interrogator run from the last pre-conversion season-end file. I might need it for all. Lifetime team records, Bowl History, and team vs. team stuff will be incomplete until I get this. RKG is on this.

10. ALL: Please check the site for any errors. Look especially for names of other FOF MP leagues.

I need the link to the uploader. I also need to know how y'all intend to handle files, and link to that. If you don't have something in place already, I'd suggest TSN for that. FOWL is doing upload/download there and just links to it from the front page, and that works fine.

Alf on it here :

4 - I'll work on it
8 - http://tcyfof.free.fr/gefl/gefl_players_pictures.html <-- I've created an HTML with all players pictures (those are the ids used on fof-gefl.com site though). I'll get them, zipped them all together and post the linik here

Zip file is uploading (but I have slow upload line, so it should end in about an hour from now) : GEFL players pictures (http://www.transferbigfiles.com/Get.aspx?id=9a13eff3-79fc-4471-a2ee-3cb3bcd1bb7b)

Edit :new ZIP file uploaded with new link

I think the auto-poster implementation is pretty much done. There are a few quirks caused by the way I "cheated the system" in testing, but I suspect that once the regular season starts, everything is set to go.

What are the chances of getting the baseball reference style leaderboard stuff on the player cards? :D

Can you show me an example?

[Subby]

Can you show me an example?

Here is what it looks like at Baseball Reference:

(scroll down to 'appearance on leaderboards and awards')

Here is how it was implemented at WOOF:

For a league like GEFL, it seems like this would be a great addition.

[Yoda]

Ah, ok, so when a player was in the top10 of a stat for a season, then that information shows up on his player card?

Yeah, I can look into doing that.
