The solution is changing various file/folder permissions.

For us the Admin page changes all stick, but for the draft page none of the checkboxes ("Auto-draft using draft List" etc.) stick for any owner or admin. I've adjusted all file/folder permissions within the 'draft' folder & subfolders to 755 in case that was the problem but it still won't work. Any ideas?

Note: This is the latest version of Getch utilities for OOTP13.

Click Generate UI Files from the main Admin screen, and clear your browser cache.

Awesome - thanks Getch, this did the trick.

Getch,

We're loving the updated utilities. One question... during generation of the dev links to player pages, I get a timeout after a bit. It seems that the links are all generated OK, though.

The url I have at timeout is "http://www.thefobl.com/cgi-bin/ootpou.pl?RETIRED=on&SCALE=&genLinks=Generate+Link s&page=devAdmin" and the message is:

Gateway Time-out

The gateway did not receive a timely response from the upstream server or application.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Any ideas? Do we need to increase the time-out in a script or is it a retired player issue perhaps? Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

The icon images for the All-Star Voting (positional and instructions) are not showing up. Is this part of the same issue?

It probably is just taking too long for the server's liking. It updates the player pages as it goes, so it's likely that it gets to most of the players pages and so it "seems" like its working, although a few players might be missing their links.

If you can up the timeout on the server, that should fix it. Otherwise, be content that it does most of them. Note that the "retired players" option is only for the report I think, not the links. I guess I could hook it up to work for both (it was needed to conserve memory, not time. Memory is not an issue for generating links).

No. I know for some of the older patches I forgot to bundle the image file into the OOTPOU.zip when I built it, but it is there in the latest patch. See if you have the file OOTPOU/allstartImages.zip. If you do, it should auto-copy and extract it to the <webserver>/OOTPOU directory when you generate the ballot. If not, manually copy it to that location and extract.

Need guidance on how to deploy utilities locally, meaning that I want to use these tools to manage local game files, not online.
I have deployed simple web server and perl support which seems to work but smth evades me.
Lets consider an example where I can deploy utilities to any league in my Saved Games folder -
Root folder : Saved Games
Game Folder : PlayBall.lg
csv files : Playball.lg\import_export
html : Playball.lg\news\html
How would one configure the setup.txt for instance to make it work? Where should the content be copied?
I have tried a simple setup with Mongoose lightweight web server and having Perl also integrated. At least initial setup works but it always crashes at login and can't get it doing anything else.

Do you have recommended setup for this type of usage?
It would enable me to use these utilities for local games and also to add additional functionality, which could be shared with community later on. I want to have some metrics in the view for my own purposes and I do like the idea.

Thanks!

Can you describe what the crash is? I would think getting OU to even render would be the biggest battle, which it sounds like you've been able to do.

Also, this probably should be handled over PM since it's pretty specific and might be technical. So talk to me over PM.

Sorry, google led me astray and I bumped an old thread. How do I get the google talk part of the profile section to work?

If you aren't seeing it in your league, I added it in one of the patches (looks like I omitted it in the patch notes, so I don't recall which version actually added it)... try upgrading to the latest. My guess is that it was patch 5.0.4.

What I'm wondering is that do I put in that field?

That usually means you're hitting the server's memory limit when running development. Are you on the latest version (5.0.5)? There are memory improvements in it.

We've run into a problem where I have to revert to a previous file in preseason. I ran dev from the file we need to redo.

Will it cause a problem to re-run dev after I process a new file? Will we get duplicate entries?

Reverting to the old file will probably cause some phantom development (the old development will still exist, but also will then move from the old to the new). I have a little tool to remove a specific date's worth of development somewhere if you really want it cleaned up.

Hey Getch,

We had an interesting development in our Amateur Draft in the ASBA.

Basically a team autodrafted Joseph Goodchild who was the only player left on the next team's draft list. When the screen refreshed, Goodchild had been drafted by BOTH teams.

I suspect that the 2nd team's autodraft from list setting didn't recognize that the the player had just been drafted the pick before and thus "thought" it could still select him.

Would that type of thing be avoided if you built in a 5 second delay in auto-drafting (or auto-drafting from list)?

Just a thought from a totally bizarre scenario that popped up.

Getch-

for the next update is there a way to allow us a little more control over which players appear on Awards ballots?

Thanks!

What are you looking for in specific?

[bdub]

With scouting enabled. What ratings does the draft screen display?
