WebDev Update
Posted by Shelle on 28 Jul 2014 (1128 reads)

A quick update on the season two site features and development, as well as planned fixes.

It's been a busy few weeks for the webdev team as we worked frantically to add all the new team information and get the site prepared for this exciting new season. We are pleased to welcome so many new teams to mrbcleague.com this year, as well as the returning season one players.

Season Two Changes
This new season introduced a lot of changes to the matches, the bonuses, and the rules, so most of the site updates have been focused around accommodating these changes rather than adding new functionality. In addition to archiving the matches and scheduling forums for season one, several key updates are now complete to bring the site in line with season two rules. These included code updates to the following parts of mrbcleague.com:

-Fixtures Draw - accommodates five drop matches and includes map for each drop
-Add/Edit Match - facilitates user entry of new season two drop c-bills and bonus points
-League Tables - calculates and displays new season two drop c-bills and division positions
-Team Statistics - displays new season two drop and c-bill summaries
-Videos/Screenshots - new categories provided for season two media uploads
(Season two changes for the Drop Calculator are 90% complete, I hope to have this finished mid August.)

Bugs and Known Issues
There are several outstanding bugs that will be fixed for next season, these include:
-League table does not display the icons unless all the teams have at least one match in the database
-Several of the team drop downs are not in alphabetical order
-Some of the filtering on the fixtures table does not correctly filter the entries

FAQ's
One request that we do see a lot is to delete drop videos that have been incorrectly uploaded. For these cases, please use the "Report Video" button above the video, and select "Uploaded Incorrect Video". This will flag it for removal for the admins.
