Asunto: New NTDB Database

me too:)

great work!

Hi,

Some good news.

Just created a new FireSokker version that will allow you to use superdivine skill and automatically fill sk@ from the NTDB.

- Imported data from Norway (attention, you should set adequate requirements);

- Added Croatian and Czech language. It's available when using FireSokker and in the Staff/ Change Pass NTDB option;

- Extension adress: http://sokker.domiciano.eng.br/ntdb/examples/firesokker.xpi;

- Use the menu option Staff/ Change Pass to set your default skmail message. After that, just click on the last update (current owner) or player age (first owner) to go to the skmail page. The form will be filled automatically (need to have this last FireSokker version installed);

- Added the superdivine skill in some languages. If someone experience some problems, just send me the skill translation;


Updating the ToDos list:

- Add filter in the Archive List;
- Add "Show Archive" flag to the players list mainly for U21 coaches;
- Allow multiple position select mainly for use with similar requirements like ATT and ATT_U21;
- Remove the "Show All Squads" from senior and main assistants (only admin and coaches will have this option);
- Remove the "Show All Squads" from staff without any Squad assigned to, no player will be available until the staff receive at least one squad to follow;
- Remove Squad tool from senior assistants;
- Add Rating column to the players list wich will be calculated according to coefficients stablished on top of the page (last configuration will be saved in cookies);
- Correct the Value and Wage display in order to show values in the staff preferred currency (currently it seems that all value are shown in zl - will only consider values marked without unit);
- Increase the page width;
- Create age parameter to requirements;
- Show skill name when mouseovering the skill value;

Working \o/

well done, great thx for your impressive work!!!

Is there still a standalone version?

Do you say, without dependencies with GreaseMonkey and other extensions?

This FireSokker version is similar to the official one. I hope meraner will have a time soon in order to release an official version. This one I created is just because people really need the superdivine skill.

I ment a version for GreaseMonkey that works with the new design and without FireSokker. :)

Completelly misunterstood.

No. After we started working with FireSokker I stopped the old NTDBExtension GM based project as a single extension could do many different things.

I think it's better like that. The only problem is that we finish with dependencies when the creator is busy. The better we could do is to talk to meraner asking for an open source extension (I hacked it but I'm not happy with that).

With an open source (perhaps with an association: FireSokker Devs), many people would be able to add features.

The thing is that I want to use it with IE.
I can't install Firefox at work and I don't have a working computer at home.
Now I wanted to try IE7Pro, but found no up to date script.
Well, bad luck for me then ';)
(editado)

Done:
- Added "Show Archive" flag to the players list (default option can be saved on the Staff/ Preferences option);
- No more needed to add filters to the archive list, just check the box "Show Archive";
- Removed the "Show All Squads" option from senior assistants, only main assistants and upper will have this option. It's a security action, to avoid too many people seeing all players;
- Number of injury days are now shown in parenthesis;
- Skill names won't be implemented now. I consider it as a minor change compared with big changes to the site structure;
- Removed Squad tool from senior assistants for security reasons. Only main assistants and upper will have access to it;



Remaining ToDos List:
- Allow multiple position select mainly for use with similar requirements like ATT and ATT_U21;
- Remove the "Show All Squads" from staff without any Squad assigned to, no player will be available until the staff receive at least one squad to follow;
- Add Rating column to the players list wich will be calculated according to coefficients stablished on top of the page (last configuration will be saved in cookies);
- Correct the Value and Wage display in order to show values in the staff preferred currency (currently it seems that all value are shown in zl - will only consider values marked without unit);
- Increase the page width;
- Create age parameter to requirements;
- Allow multiple sort in the players list;

Done:
- Multiple selection ready. Just hold Ctrl while you select your positions of interest;
- When no squad is set as default in the member profile, the player page won't load any data. You can set a default or click the Update button. The training page was also taken out from senior assistants as well the All Squad option;
- Multiple sorting is now allowed, limited to 3. The last column you choose, the first it'll order. For instance: suppose you want to see your striker skill but younger the player is, it's better. So, you choose first striker and then age (age will have priority under striker);
- Corrected the export to Excel tool in order to filter only U21 players to U21 staff (thx rtg);

Remaining ToDos List:
- Add Rating column to the players list wich will be calculated according to coefficients stablished on top of the page (last configuration will be saved in cookies);
- Correct the Value and Wage display in order to show values in the staff preferred currency (currently it seems that all value are shown in zl - will only consider values marked without unit);
- Increase the page width;
- Create age parameter to requirements;

superb mate.

I am going to encroach on an issue that has happened in the OHTer game. You are cleary putting a lot of effort into this database. Do you intend to suddenly slam it closed with a message of "world peace is great" and then charge us all for it?


P.S. how do you do a multiple sort? I cant seem to do it
(editado)

To use the multiple sort, just click in your choosen column in a role. Everytime you order a column, the previous one is kept as 2nd ordering and the 2nd one as 3rd.

About your issue, I'd like to highlight some points:

- the work started in the beggining of 2006, when I first started to work as DEF scout. I created some spreadsheets and macros in Excel;
- me and dark. decided to put it online. Until there I had minimum php knowledge;
- we (Brazilian) used a free host for a long while, also opened the source to other people, each one should install its own;
- I decided to buy a host service, also used for web developing and training. After the first year and until now, the Brazilian community pay it every year. And it's really non expensive (about 90 dollars/year host+domain divided by 5 or 6 people);
- after we created some new features, I decided to open the NTDB to all the world for free. With that, we received some new and great suggestions making the NTDB better and better each day;
- if someone get interested in help us with the maintenance costs, I'd ask you to pay a 2 months plus to Brazilian users as Chrstimas gift. Every year, the Brazilian community donate it in the last week of the year. Just contact us and put your names in the Father Christmas list. I think the Brazilian community would be very proud;
- if a day, they (Brazilian) decide stop paying it, I see no problem in migrate to an other host, even a free one. I'm sure if it occurs, host won't be a problem. The NTDB is designed to use just a few bandwidth and not too much hard disk;
- I also would like to ask you all to use the Export Tool more often. We do it in Brazil. It's a safe habit;

What the Brazilian community hope? With a global and known DB, people will update players more often. People will also think and talk more about NT training. When more people follow a same direction, they work become easier, it's sinergy.

What I hope of it? I see the NTDB as one more challenge in sk. Without it, I had surely went away from the game a time ago. NTDB is part of the game for me. Also, after I started this work, I improved my developer and English skills a lots. I don't think I would learn the same without it. And finally, in a near future I hope I get elected as U21 NT coach anywhere around the World. In this way, the NTDB work can be well summed up to my 3 years of experience.

"To use the multiple sort, just click in your choosen column in a role. Everytime you order a column, the previous one is kept as 2nd ordering and the 2nd one as 3rd." Hi mate i skmailed you about the donation thing. Back to the ordering - i click on striker which orders the players based on striker ability. If i then click on tech it reorders all players based on tech. IF i do striker first then control and click tech it opens up a new window but alas it still reorders based only on tech.

also i may have missed this brilliant update but if you select staff then preferences you have a mail box now - input your text there and then when you click on the date of a player who hasnt been updated it fills in the mail automatically for you. That is one superb update.

Thx (if I forget until there, contact me next to December 20th when we create the donation list).

The multiple sorting no needs to click Ctrl.

When you order striker, everybody is ordered by it. Then you order by technique, all players are ordered again, but note that when 2 or more players have the same technique skill, striker keep ordered. Do the same with pace and you'll have all players ordered first by pace, then when pace is the same, ordered by technique and finally when pace and technique are the same, ordered by striker.
I think you'll want to see it in the other order... so, first order by pace, after by technique and then by striker. You'll have sth like that:

Str Tec Pac
18 16 17
18 15 18
18 15 16
18 15 11
17 18 18
17 18 12
17 15 17
16 18 18

The skmail thing, also work when you click the player age (require the new FireSokker version). The difference is that the update date redirect to the current owner skmail and the age redirect to the first owner (you'd like to know the YS Talent).
