FORUMULA1.COM Pool for 2014

[What's Burning?]

That explains why I was crapping out trying to use Sequel Express to edit it.

[1Lemon]

Did you get it working in the end?

[What's Burning?]

No, but were at two weeks so we can try and figure out what's the missing component. Maybe we should ping MOA just to figure out what's missing?

[What's Burning?]

It's up cause Stephen has the hosting, we've got to edit the driver and GP info and I guess figure out a way to enter the picks unless we tie them to the forum user IDs.

[1Lemon]

It's all done in those files in the db directory. As far as I can tell it's reading them in as the database. How did you enter picks previously?

[What's Burning?]

I would log into the web site as an admin and input each person's picks manually. The database kept track of the person's name, I would choose it from a drop down an put in their picks. The picks were restricted to only the driver's initials from the database and it would not allow you to enter duplicate drivers.

At the end of the GP, I'd enter the results in the same fashion for a drop down choice names results and it would tabulate the points automatically and identify the winner for the round.

[1Lemon]

Well then do that. I assume to add drivers and tracks you'd edit those files in db/

I have updated all the databases with the latest drivers and races; also reset the season and player databases.

The files should be able to be dropped into the root directory for f1pool.forumula1.com via ftp overwriting the original files.

Having looked through the zip, as normal I was correct again

Glad MOA came in to save the day at the last second though

Yes, it's simply a flat file database, just changed the names to protect the guilty!

Stephen: You will need to make sure the files in the db directory are writable and that you have a phpbb2 forum powering the admin login, I tried to use a phpbb3 but that didn't work for me; the software was written for phpbb2; I didn't write the original software and I wasn't going to recode the the entire thing for phpbb3.

...... and I wasn't going to recode the the entire thing for phpbb3.

You just don't put the effort in, that's your problem....

Maybe if everyone that played the pool bought me a case of beer, maybe I would be more motivated to put the effort in!
