OBBLM - Conferences on front page Leader Standings?

Post by J_Bone »

I've got the new OBBLM installed and am having a couple of issues with conferences. I wondered if anybody might be able to help me out?

The first issue is that I have set up a tournament and entered two conferences into it but cannot add teams to them for some reason. Whenever I try it just says 'Error adding team".

Secondly, does anybody know if there is a way to get the leaderboards on the front page to show the conferences as two separate tables? i.e. A table of results for the Morg conference & a separate table of results for Thorg conference rather than the standings for the tournament as a whole? The 'type' for the standings only appear to allow 'league', 'division' or 'tournament' at the moment.

Thanks for any advice guys!

Had a quick play with Conferences (it's not a feature I've used before) and had no problems creating a new league, adding conferences and teams to the conferences. In fact, there seems to be no restrictions on the teams you can add to conferences, I was able to add teams from other Leagues which probably shouldn't be possible.
Might be worth checking that the Conferences and Conference_Teams tables exists in your database - if not, re-run the upgrade process which should add them. If the Conferences module was not enabled when you originally upgraded it may not have been created. Although, I'd have expected an error when creating the Conference rather than when trying to add teams.

Couldn't get the League table to display on the front page although the League Tables page works well and automatically splits the Teams into conferences. Not sure how that's supposed to be set up. The comments in the Conferences module suggest that it supports this but no indication of how.

Not a lot of help I'm afraid.

No worries mate. I had a bit more of a play but couldn't get it to work properly. I spoke to Duncan that runs the Leicester league and settled on re-organising mine to the same way he does his.

Every new season is a new division within the league and you just run tournaments within that division/season to make up the different conferences, play-offs etc.

I think it will work well and it will allow me to put the results up on the front page for all to see.

Nice and simple.

On this, if someone else runs into the same issue - check the structure of the conference_teams table in phpmyadmin. If the table has a column called f_tour_id, manually change it to f_team_id and that should solve your adding teams issue.

Not sure on the front page issue either. Anyone have a solution?

For me on a local installation of NAFLM the conference stuf works (create tournament, create conferences, add teams to conferences, league tables split into conferences).

I can´t display that on the homepage, so no solution here, but the same problem.

I've solved the front page standings for conferences. This is how it looks:

I'll try to push the code to GitHub during the next weeks.
