Same behavior - Round gets set but Tournament does not


🕸Fergus Duniho wrote on Sat, Sep 9, 2017 08:43 PM UTC:

Okay, try it again. It should now include the value of the tournament in the SQL too.


💡📝Greg Strong wrote on Sat, Sep 9, 2017 08:04 PM UTC:

Not quite.  It's better - it is now setting the Round to 2, but it is still leaving the Tournament field blank.


🕸Fergus Duniho wrote on Sat, Sep 9, 2017 07:50 PM UTC:

Try it again. I just updated it to include the value of the round in the SQL.


💡📝Greg Strong wrote on Sat, Sep 9, 2017 06:07 PM UTC:

The tournament gane assignment isn't working correctly.  It is creating the game, but it is not associating it with the tournament/round.  Fergus, can you take a look?  The two games I have created are now associated with the tournament, but that's because I went into SQL and did it manually (which would be a pain to do for all 18 games, but I'll do it if you are busy or it is not a quick fix.)

Excellent.  I'll assign the second round games on Saturday afternoon.


🕸Fergus Duniho wrote on Thu, Sep 7, 2017 01:48 PM UTC:

All games in the first round have finished.

Oh Thanks. Sorry I didn't notice. Congratulations to all the players!

I'll probably check back occasionally - this is interesting!

Take a look at the comment I left just before yours.


V. Reinhart wrote on Fri, Aug 11, 2017 04:19 AM UTC:

Just curious about something - is there anyway for a spectator to easily see the status of this tournament, or is it necessary for interested passers-by to seek through the individual games to see who's emerging as the leaders?

Okay, that has been fixed. My code for constructing the query had missed the comparison operator. Here's an URL you can use to view the games in this tournament:

/play/pbm/logs.php?tourney=GameCourier2017&age=0&stat=any&sort=gamelog


Nick Wolff wrote on Sat, Jul 29, 2017 12:46 AM UTC:

I'm no longer able to pull up the results for the tournament via PBM query.  Is that something still in process?

You still not seeing your Victorian Chess game?  It shows up for me:

/play/pbm/play.php?log=catugo-fergus-2017-175-107&game=Victorian+Chess

Remember that Wildebeest preset has no enforced the rules.


🕸Fergus Duniho wrote on Sun, Jun 25, 2017 12:37 PM UTC:

Victorian Chess fixed.


🕸Fergus Duniho wrote on Sun, Jun 25, 2017 12:09 PM UTC:

Victorian Chess isn't showing up among my games.


Nick Wolff wrote on Sun, Jun 25, 2017 02:18 AM UTC:

Good luck, all!


💡📝Greg Strong wrote on Sun, Jun 25, 2017 01:40 AM UTC:

The games of the first round - Fischer Random Chess, Xiang Qi, and Victorian Chess - have been assigned.

I will also send an email to all participants informing them that the tournament has begun.

Please be aware that for almost all games, you have the ability to change the graphics for both the pieces and the background, as well as the rendering method.  As long as you are signed in as yourself when you open the game you will see the graphics you have selected.  Please take advantage of this to tweek the appearance to your liking.

Also, please note that the Victorian Chess preset needs a correction.  Castling works correctly as long as you select the correct squares, but the squares it displays as legal are not correct.  Hopefully I will fix this before we get to the point where people are castling, but even if not, the rules are enforced correctly - it just doesn't show the legal moves correctly where castling is concerned.

Good luck everyone and have fun!  Please let me know if I can be of any help.

I used grep to find every Game Courier script with the wrong path and fixed it.


🕸Fergus Duniho wrote on Sat, Jun 24, 2017 11:42 PM UTC:

That's a path I didn't change over from the old site. I'll get to it tonight.


Nick Wolff wrote on Sat, Jun 24, 2017 11:26 PM UTC:

Man, got some tough pairings there.  I like it.


💡📝Greg Strong wrote on Sat, Jun 24, 2017 11:08 PM UTC:

Fergus,

I'm having issues.  First I couldn't create the tournament round because of a lack of permission to create a new folder under /play/tournaments.  I got around this by creating the directory first through SFTP.

Now I can't assign games though.  It says it can't find the file:

/home/forthel1/chessvar/public_html/play/tournaments/gamecourier2017/1.php

The file 1.php does exist.  I'm guessing it's an issue with the "forthel1" in the path.  Probably this should be a relative URL?

Thanks!


💡📝Greg Strong wrote on Sat, Jun 24, 2017 10:16 PM UTC:

Pairings have been posted.  I will create the games later this evening.


Zachary Wade wrote on Sat, Jun 24, 2017 05:47 PM UTC:

Sounds good :)


💡📝Greg Strong wrote on Sat, Jun 24, 2017 05:45 PM UTC:

Great, thank you both.  There are two players not paired with Daniel, so I'll take one of those spots.  For the other spot, I used random.org to select between the two of you and it selected Zachary.
