Midnight Modding

wow, really? I wish I had known that. All i saw was the closing date and the payout deadline.

I knocked $15 off the price for a while, since we're on the final month of marketplace being here and also it being in the middle of most of the American sports seasons. Although, nba season starts this month also and nhl I think.

I am always paranoid that someone is going to press a button and the app do part of the updating and then something go wrong and screw everything up. In apps I have made it's pretty typical to need to insert rows into several tables and use those ids in other tables etc... Also, sometimes I have to have an update that affects hundreds of rows, in a way where if it were to stop in the middle it would be a real problem.

Thanks! I did a bet on the FIBA world cup, but just a small one from a promo because I dumbly lost a ton of money betting a few months ago. 😞

First full week of ncaa football next week. Good time to use this app. 😛

someone else basically did it that way too, changing the translations. Only problem is then you'd need to keep it that way from now on, even if I do a setting, or your past results will be all reversed. I do but anyone would care who the home team was in past results already finished, though. lol. But yeah with you reversing it, it would have them the order you want everywhere else in the app too.

ok. is it mainly on the form for picking them? Would take longer to be changing the order everywhere, although in the long run it would be better if it honors it everywhere. I just thought that if the columns titled who was home or away then users would read it and know, but I guess some just assume it's the correct way for those particular matches and overlook it. I probably should even have it where there could be a setting for neutral.... since some will have no home team. But if the same pool/pickem could have some games/matches with a home team and some neutral ones then the form couldn't really work right saying home team and then really there is no home team. I think technically even in neutral ones they will just declare one the home team for listings, but would be misleading calling them one, so no clue how to really do anything regarding neutral ones.

yeah, I am almost positive that I ran into issues is why it simply has those columns titled home team and away team. Maybe because of it being a number type of input. So I'll just have to see what I can figure out. I always wished I could have gotten that picking form to be much better, but I was working within some premade ip.suite elements. Same thing with brackets. I spent a ton of time getting picking teams in the bracket to work, then realized the issue where the ip.suite wizard I was using would not give an error if they left a pick blank. Honestly, for brackets, it may come down to me HAVVING to have a default pick on each game where they can't even possibly leave it unpicked. But just would suck because it's not good having either team as defaults where a member could complain that they didn't mean to pick that one, but didn't notice it. One thing I need to add to this app at some point is member stats pages or top lifetime members as far as best at picking winners, etc... I have tons of stats being stored, just haven't made pages showing them.

btw I think the other guy didn't like it even on the submit results form how theyw ere ordered. Not sure if many would care on that one. You sure it would be good to do it per pool, though? I guess that would be good in case some American sports are used, although it may still confuse people if they are used to it being flipped.

yeah, someone else had me change the order of them and I thought then I wish I had just added a feature to reverse them. I will add that in when I have time and look into the other.

Glad that worked because I think I changed that code up to account for brackets and couldn't remember if I had remembered to be sure it still worked for standard ones. Off the top of my mind I can't remember when it even sends those out. Seems like in a weekly one it may do it for each week, but I don't 100% remember. Maybe at some point I should add commenting in, but I think the guy who originally had me make this just didn't care about it and they commented in a forum topic, I think. I would like to improve the look of some areas, but I am limited in being able to design.

No problem. I try my best to fix bugs quickly. Sometimes I even like it, but this one was frustrating to figure out and then it was putting acp links in the sitemap because I had some code in that originated from a different app. lol. I am still trying to think if there's some nice big feature to add in, but it may become too bloated like if I added betting in. Hopefully I can get brackets all worked out, but I spent a TON of time on it already, so hate to then totally redo it because of the bug in the ip.suite form.

ok they approved 1.1.4 now, for those who didn't notice. When I was testing I kept manually running the sitemapgenerator task and the sitemap kept still not having the correct links, but it eventually did, so I guess it did it with a queue. Like I said, you have to have your guest group with permission to view the category and pool for it to get into the sitemap.

It doesn't look like I added that in. Originally, someone had me make this app and I guess he only mentioned having them on the pick form. I could maybe try to add it in. Sometimes I've had issues getting logos to line up properly (especially if it shows both the name and logo_, but can try it. The rule set was for a custom feature someone had me do and I just left that all in, just in case someone else would care about it. It's basically if you want to allow members to predict an exact score then on the form for addihg a game/match you enter the rule set and the rule set tells how many popints they get for an exact score prediction being correct vs if they get the winner right, but not the score. So if they predicted team B would win 2-1, but really team B wins 1-0 they'd still get the correct points from the sued rule set for picking the proper winner, but not the points for the exact score being correct. So it's basically a way to give bonus points in the contest for exact score prediction.

Weird. When I uploaded 1.1.3, it was approved within a few hours and it was an upgrade from 4.4 to 4.7, so a big leap. but now this time just one bug fix and it's been a couple business days. I guess it varies how quickly they can get to it.
