So, it’s working OK for you then?

Contact me at lamontef (at) yahoo (dot) com and we’ll see what we can do for you…

Thanks

Can you do a team and match export and send me those files so I can look at them, please? My email address is above. Along with it, a screen shot of your league preference screen would be helpful just so I can duplicate everything exactly. I’ll look at it all and get back to you.

Just to confirm, you’re on the latest version of LeagueManager (3.8.8.1) or an earlier version?

Thanks

The ‘Other’ sport sorts like this:

points (points scored in a match)
done (number of games completed)
diff (points for – points against)

If that’s not how you want your standings sorted, and I’m guessing you don’t, you should select another ‘sport’ or use ‘user defined’ so you can determine the number of points awarded for wins, draws, and losses.

The Ajax error is the bigger problem here though…

Yes, the date and time should be formatted exactly as it is when you do a sample export…

If you’ve got some code you’d like to send me, send it to lamontef (at) yahoo (.) com

If you have a template you want to replace, you have two options (from the documentation):

If you want to modify existing templates copy it to

your_theme_dir/leaguemanager/

The plugin will then first look in your theme directory. Further it is possible to design own templates, e.g. multiple standings templates. Assume you create a template called standings-sample1.php. To load this template use the following code.

[standings league_id=ID template=sample1]

I’ve actually never put a template in the theme directory, I always rename so things are all in the same location and it’s easier to keep track.

The nice thing about LeagueManger is that Kolja (the developer) made it very modular, so you can add items based on your sport file and add templates that suite your needs. I think a lot of users (myself included) think that modifying core code is necessary when making changes. I can’t tell you how much I’m backtracking now that I’ve been working on the core and have a very worn out installation that I’ve tweaked to work for me. Now I’ve had to go back in and pull things out that I added to the database when I didn’t need to, modified core code I didn’t need to, etc., etc.

You’re stepping into a hornets nest with this line of questions!

The last two weeks I’ve been working on the tie function, have a look at this:

and you’ll see what we’ve been talking about.

I’m looking to change the isTie() function and pulling it out of core.php, so that what you’re seeing goes away. The plan is to create a series of tie break options that each user would be able to select on an as-needed basis.

That’s all fine and well, I just need to get over one technical hurdle and then I’ll be working on starting the library of tie-breaker options. The two team ties will be fairly simple, it’s when we get into multiple teams things get a bit dicey.

What sport are you working with? Do you have any code that you feel could be considered for inclusion in the core product?

Glad you like LeagueManger and hope to make things work even better (keep in mind, I didn’t write the core product, but have been added on over the last month for support and enhancements).

I thought I had seen something on the documentation page, but there isn’t, I’ll have to put something together for that (I didn’t write the plugin, so there’s a lot I’m learning about a few things as I go along as well)…

The best way to duplicate the fields is to add a couple of teams and a couple of matches and export each. Open those files in Excel as tab delimited files so that each column ends up as a new column in Excel, then you’ll see exactly what’s needed to import.

The thing that I’m finding is that you have to be very careful that when you import a group of teams or matches that you get the season and the league structure exactly right. If you are working on a league that’s set up for ‘Championship’ mode and you have groups set up, but the file you’re importing doesn’t, you won’t see anything in the admin section. The teams and matches will be in the database, but they won’t show up. If you have groups set up and don’t have any on your teams as they import, that also won’t show up and if you have the wrong spelling for the season, yet another problem.

I have an updated admin.php file that should fix this problem, if you’re willing to test it for me I’ll post it on pastebin tonight. There are a few other things I’m working on in that file, so I’m not ready for a new version yet, but want to get it out this weekend. This is a key fix… If you’d rather wait, that’s fine too, just let me know.

Thanks
