[sailwave] Publish separate columns for each start

mtownsend · 8 December 2012 21:00

Jon,

I have found three minor bugs in the new feature to “Publish separate columns for each start”. I have attached screen shots at the end of the email so you can see the results I am getting.

Is it possible to publish the start name under the Race name Q1? For example Q1 Start 1 or Q1 Blue Green

PROBLEM #1

When you use the “Include Race Dates” option the wrong dates are published under the race. It appears that the date and time under Q1 Start 1 is the Q1 race date, but the date under Q1 Start 2 is the Q2 race date, the date and time under Q2 Start 1 is the Q3 race date, the date under Q2 Start 2 is the Q4 race date, etc.

PROBLEM #2

When you use the “Publish Individual Race Results” it publishes the two starts; Blue Green and Red Yellow, but the results are not in the race finish order. All the competitors in the blue flight are listed followed by all competitors in the green flight.

···

PROBLEM #3

The Qualifier Race title is incorrect. Race Q3 Start 1 was Blue flight and Green flight, but the race header shows “Q3 - Gold Flight – Sept 11” the race name and race date is correct, but the start name is incorrect, it should be Blue Green.

Testing environment.

· Sailwave Scoring Software 2.8.3

· Firefox 17.0.1

· There were 118 competitors.

· Six Qualifier races each with 2 starts.

· Races one through three had four flights Blue, Green, Red, Yellow.

· Races four through six had four flights Black Bars, Hot Pink, Purple, White.

· Seven Final races.

· Gold and Silver.

Jon,

I have spent some more time testing and have a better understanding of what triggers the problem. When the options “Publish nationality field as hyperlinks to flag” and “Include the nationality code under flag” in Series Properties are checked the results are corrupted, whn unchecked they look fine.

Testing environment.

Thanks Malcom,

That is very strange. Could you tell me which version you tested with
2.8.0, 2.8.1 or 2.8.2 I made a minor modification in 2.8.2 just for browser compatibility.

Also which Browser are you using. I was testing with IE on XP. But I have code reports that it worked well from other people.

I was testing with a file with 7 Qualifier each with 2 starts and 6 Finals each with 2 Starts and 59 Competitors

If you still have a problem with 2.8.2 perhaps you could email the .blw file and I will fix it.

Hi

As Promised a few screen shots.

I’ve also updated it to version 2.8.1 to include the ability to include the
start names in the column heading

If the start name is longer than 6 characters then it is not printed if it
is 6 or less then it is printed so all the normal colours can be printed

If you start the Start name with a space the browser will probably print it
on a new line see the example below.

Inline images 1

Inline images 4

The following example shows how you can have Races split into multiple
starts and the Start names can be appended or not as you wish

You can have the Start name appended to the Race e.g. Q2Y or underneath

Q1

Yellow

or not at all. Starts that have no competitors in the group you are
publishing are ignored so you have double or triple columns for qualifiers
and and single for Finals.

Inline images 2

Thats it for now

Thanks to everyone for the feedback on the previous versions

This version has a new Requested feature of displaying Starts in separate
columns when publishing the Series table.

From the Menu select Publish - Results and on the Options tab there is now
a tick box Publish Starts in Separate Columns

This will Publish separate columns for each start. Particularly useful when
you have Flights as you can see who is racing who.

Have a play with it and let me know what you think. I’ll tryand post a
couple of screen shots tomorrow.

Versions 2.6.3 to 2.7.2 have a bug where they don’t save the starts
correctly this was due to some of the work Colin has been doing on the JSON
publishing. This should be OK again now.

As Usual any feedback is appreciated

That works with my files! The start names are displayed under the race names.

In Your examples the start names are longer than 6 characters ...

Jon,

I conducted some further testing on Problem #1 where the dates don’t appear correctly underneath the race name column and found some additional information that may help you trouble shoot the problem. The problem occurs when the “Separate Row for Date and Time“ option is checked with one or both of “Include Race Dates” and “Include Race Times” options selected.

When you uncheck “Separate Row for Date and Time” it formats correctly.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the testing.

As far as I can tell the issue 1 seems to me, to work fine except when you have separate row for date and time. So I will put that on my list to look at. It just means that at the moment you can’t have a separate row for date and time when you have separate columns for each start. I will have a look at it but I have just received the preliminary info from the RYA on their proposed new cruiser handicap scheme and that is going to take quite some time.

As for your issues 2 and 3 in your screen shot their is no rank displayed. On my test file there was and it works at least the same as it did in the older versions of Sailwave that I tried. I’m not totally sure it is fair what you are asking Sailwave to do as you are asking for groups Gold and Silver.

Apart from the minor issue with Separate rows for date and time are we close to being able to release this version as the Next full version.?
Can I build an Installer with this one?
One Question on the installer - For windows 7 the Program data for Sailwave currently goes to the C:\Programdata\Sailwave directory. I’m not saying this is wrong but the problem is the Programdata directory by default is a hidden directory so it’s very confusing for users to be able to find it and things like the examples.
Microsoft’s recommendations are not very clear on this. But it may make more sense to use a directory c:\Users\Public\Sailwave which would be available to everyone.

Any Comments?

Hi Jon

Apart from the minor issue with Separate rows for date and time are we
close to being able to release this version as the Next full version.?

Yes! (there will allways remain open wishes and undiscoverd/unsolved failures)

Can I build an Installer with this one?

Yes!

One Question on the installer - For windows 7 the Program data for Sailwave
currently goes to the C:\Programdata\Sailwave directory. I'm not saying
this is wrong but the problem is the Programdata directory by default is a
hidden directory so it's very confusing for users to be able to find it and
things like the examples.
Microsoft's recommendations are not very clear on this. But it may make
more sense to use a directory c:\Users\Public\Sailwave which would be
available to everyone.

I suggest to install the Sailwave-program-File(s) in C:\Programdata\Sailwave as standard with the posibility to choose the installation folder during the installation process (as it was till now). The subfolders ("styles", "templates", "javascripts" etc.) could be installed in c:\Users\Public\Sailwave ... but then you have to change references to those folders the main program, or?

Cheers
Christof

Jon,

I am OK with releasing the code the way it is currently working. The problems cause relatively minor functionality issues and there appear to be valid workarounds.

Generally one only prints individual race results for handicap racing and I am not sure I have ever come across a handicap fleet split into flights.

Good luck with the new RYA cruiser handicap scheme.

Subject: RE: [sailwave] Publish separate columns for each start

Jon,

I have found three minor bugs in the new feature to “Publish separate columns for each start”. I have attached screen shots at the end of the email so you can see the results I am getting.

Is it possible to publish the start name under the Race name Q1? For example Q1 Start 1 or Q1 Blue Green

PROBLEM #1

When you use the “Include Race Dates” option the wrong dates are published under the race. It appears that the date and time under Q1 Start 1 is the Q1 race date, but the date under Q1 Start 2 is the Q2 race date, the date and time under Q2 Start 1 is the Q3 race date, the date under Q2 Start 2 is the Q4 race date, etc.

PROBLEM #2

When you use the “Publish Individual Race Results” it publishes the two starts; Blue Green and Red Yellow, but the results are not in the race finish order. All the competitors in the blue flight are listed followed by all competitors in the green flight.

PROBLEM #3

The Qualifier Race title is incorrect. Race Q3 Start 1 was Blue flight and Green flight, but the race header shows “Q3 - Gold Flight – Sept 11” the race name and race date is correct, but the start name is incorrect, it should be Blue Green.

That is very strange. Could you tell me which version you tested with

Also which Browser are you using. I was testing with IE on XP. But I have code reports that it worked well from other people.

I was testing with a file with 7 Qualifier each with 2 starts and 6 Finals each with 2 Starts and 59 Competitors

If you still have a problem with 2.8.2 perhaps you could email the .blw file and I will fix it.

Hi Mark,

Thanks - I have actually fixed the problems and added the code to support the separate rows for time and date while printing the Separate Columns for starts. Note that the time that is published for the start is the time you fill in as the Published start time - it is not the actual start time.

I am OK with releasing the code the way it is currently working. The problems cause relatively minor functionality issues and there appear to be valid workarounds.

Generally one only prints individual race results for handicap racing and I am not sure I have ever come across a handicap fleet split into flights.

Good luck with the new RYA cruiser handicap scheme.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the testing.

As far as I can tell the issue 1 seems to me, to work fine except when you have separate row for date and time. So I will put that on my list to look at. It just means that at the moment you can’t have a separate row for date and time when you have separate columns for each start. I will have a look at it but I have just received the preliminary info from the RYA on their proposed new cruiser handicap scheme and that is going to take quite some time.

As for your issues 2 and 3 in your screen shot their is no rank displayed. On my test file there was and it works at least the sa
me as it did in the older versions of Sailwave that I tried. I’m not totally sure it is fair what you are asking Sailwave to do as you are asking for groups Gold and Silver.

Apart from the minor issue with Separate rows for date and time are we close to being able to release this version as the Next full version.?

Can I build an Installer with this one?
One Question on the installer - For windows 7 the Program data for Sailwave currently goes to the C:\Programdata\Sailwave directory. I’m not saying this is wrong but the problem is the Programdata directory by default is a hidden directory so it’s very confusing for users to be able to find it and things like the examples.

Microsoft’s recommendations are not very clear on this. But it may make more sense to use a directory c:\Users\Public\Sailwave which would be available to everyone.

Any Comments?

I conducted some further testing on Problem #1 where the dates don’t appear correctly underneath the race name column and found some additional information that may help you trouble shoot the problem. The problem occurs when the “Separate Row for Date and Time“ option is checked with one or both of “Include Race Dates” and “Include Race Times” options selected.

When you uncheck “Separate Row for Date and Time” it formats correctly.

We do on occasions split into flights and always sail on handicap. At the Yorkshire and Humberside Youth Sailing Association, we have joint events with Topper and the North East traveller and starts for toppers 5 minutes after the main fleet, it’s good to have an overall result for the day, then show results for the respective fleets for separate results in their season. There has also been talk of splitting out the Lasers who make up the majority of our boats.

Hi William,

So does 2.8.4 do everything you want? or do you need something else?

You could run the Lasers in both Handicap and stand alone if you use the Alias feature and setting this up should be easy now in this version.

Jon,

I am OK with releasing the code the way it is currently working. The problems cause relatively minor functionality issues and there appear to be valid workarounds.

Generally one only prints individual race results for handicap racing and I am not sure I have ever come across a handicap fleet split into flights.

Good luck with the new RYA cruiser handicap scheme.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the testing.

As far as I can tell the issue 1 seems to me, to work fine except when you have separate row for date and time. So I will put that on my list to look at. It just means that at the moment you can’t have a separate row for date and time when you have separate columns for each
start. I will have a look at it but I have just received the preliminary info from the RYA on their proposed new cruiser handicap scheme and that is going to take quite some time.

As for your issues 2 and 3 in your screen shot their is no rank displayed. On my test file there was and it works at least the same as it did in the older versions of Sailwave that I tried. I’m not totally sure it is fair what you are asking Sailwave to do as you are asking for groups Gold and Silver.

Apart from the minor issue with Separate rows for date and time are we close to being able to release this version as the Next full version.?
Can I build an Installer with this one?
One Question on the installer - For windows 7 the Program data for Sailwave currently goes to the C:\Programdata\Sailwave directory. I’m not saying this is wrong but the problem is the Programdata directory by default is a hidden directory so it’s very
confusing for users to be able to find it and things like the examples.
Microsoft’s recommendations are not very clear on this. But it may make more sense to use a directory c:\Users\Public\Sailwave which would be available to everyone.

Any Comments?

I conducted some

The problem occurs when the “Separate Row for Date and Time“ option is checked with one or both of “Include Race Dates” and “Include Race Times” options selected.

When you uncheck “Separate Row for Date and Time” it formats correctly.

Jon,

I have found three minor bugs in the new feature to “Publish separate columns for each start”. I have attached screen shots at the end of the email so you can see the results I am getting.

Is it possible to publish the start name under the Race name Q1? For example Q1 Start 1 or Q1 Blue Green

PROBLEM #1

When you use the “Include Race Dates” option the wrong dates are published under the race. It appears that the date and time under Q1 Start 1 is the Q1 race date, but the date under Q1 Start 2 is the Q2 race date, the date and time under Q2 Start 1 is the Q3 race date, the date under Q2 Start 2 is the Q4 race date, etc.

PROBLEM #2

When you use the “Publish Individual Race Results” it publishes the two starts; Blue Green and Red Yellow, but the
results are not in the race finish order. All the competitors in the blue flight are listed followed by all competitors in the green flight.

PROBLEM #3

The Qualifier Race title is incorrect. Race Q3 Start 1 was Blue flight and Green flight, but the race header shows “Q3 - Gold Flight – Sept 11” the race name and race date is correct, but the start name is incorrect, it should be Blue Green.

Testing environment.

· Sailwave Scoring Software 2.8.3

· Firefox 17.0.1

· &n bsp; There were 118 competitors.

· Six Qualifier races each with 2 starts.

· Races one through three had four flights Blue, Green, Red, Yellow.

Thanks Malcom,

That is very strange. Could you tell me which version you tested with

2.8.0, 2.8.1 or 2.8.2 I made a minor modification in 2.8.2 just for browser compatibility.

Also which Browser are you using. I was testing with IE on XP. But I have code reports that it worked well from other people.

I was testing with a file with 7 Qualifier each with 2 starts and 6 Finals each with 2 Starts and 59 Competitors

If you still have a problem with 2.8.2 perhaps you could email the .blw file and I will fix it.

Hi

As Promised a few screen shots.

I’ve also updated it to version 2.8.1 to include the ability to include the

start names in the column heading

If the start name is longer than 6 characters then it is not printed if it
is 6 or less then it is printed so all the normal colours can be printed

If you start the Start
name with a space the browser will probably print it
on a new line see the example below.

Inline images 1

Inline images 4

The following example shows how you can have Races split into multiple
starts and the Start names can be appended or not as you wish

You can have the Start name appended to the Race e.g. Q2Y or underneath

Q1

Yellow

or not at all. Starts that have no competitors in the group you are

publishing are ignored so you have double or t riple columns for qualifiers

and and single for Finals.

Inline images 2

Thats it for now

From the Menu select Publish - Results and on the Options tab there is now

This will Publish separate columns for each start. Particularly useful when

you have Flights as you can see who is racing who .

Have a play with it and let me know what you think. I’ll tryand post a

Versions 2.6.3 to 2.7.2 have a bug where they don’t save the starts

Sorry I have finished using 2.5.1 for 2012 will move to 2.8.4 over the winter. I can currently do what what is wanted thanks was just worried you were potentially taking away the ability to print out / split by fleet in handicap racing.

Thanks for the concern, I’m just a Jo plod user, but do try to get all the clubs we go to to use Sailwave, it amazes me how many people either have a cobbled together spread sheet or even try to do it by hand. When they do we often get Appendix 8 issues, slow calculation and there is no chance of web publishing!

Well done on all the work you do.

You could run the Lasers in both Handicap and stand alone if you use the Alias feature and setting this up should be easy now in this version.

I have found three minor bugs in the new feature to “Publish separate columns for each start”. I have attached screen shots at the end of the email so you can see the results I am getting.

Is it possible to publish the start name under the Race name Q1? For example Q1 Start 1 or Q1 Blue Green

PROBLEM #1

When you use the “Include Race Dates” option the wrong dates are published under the race. It appears that the date and time under Q1 Start 1 is the Q1 race date, but the date under Q1 Start 2 is the Q2 race date, the date and time under Q2 Start 1 is the Q3 race date, the date under Q2 Start 2 is the Q4 race date, etc.

PROBLEM #2

When you use the “Publish Individual Race Results” it publishes the two starts; Blue Green and Red Yellow, but the
results are not in the race finish order. All the competitors in the blue flight are listed followed by all competitors in the green flight.

PROBLEM #3

The Qualifier Race title is incorrect. Race Q3 Start 1 was Blue flight and Green flight, but the race header shows “Q3 - Gold Flight – Sept 11” the race name and race date is correct, but the start name is incorrect, it should be Blue Green.

Testing environment.

· Sailwave Scoring Software 2.8.3

· Firefox 17.0.1

· &n bsp; There were 118 competitors.

· Six Qualifier races each with 2 starts.

· Races one through three had four flights Blue, Green, Red, Yellow.

· Races four through six had four flights Black Bars, Hot Pink, Purple, White.

· Seven Final races.

· Gold and Silver.

Jon,

I have spent some more time testing and have a better understanding of what triggers the problem. When the options “Publish nationality field as hyperlinks to flag” and “Include the nationality code under flag” in Series Properties are checked the results are corrupted, whn unchecked they look fine.

Testing environment.

· Sailwave Scoring Software 2.8.2

· Firefox 16.0.2

· There were 118
competitors.

· Six Qualifier races each with 2 starts.

· Races one through three had four flights Blue, Green, Red, Yellow.

· Races four through six had four flights Black Bars, Hot Pink, Purple, White.

· Seven Final races.

· Gold and Silver.

There are three screen shots below.

Fix

Thanks Malcom,

That is very strange. Could you tell me which version you tested with

2.8.0, 2.8.1 or 2.8.2 I made a minor modification in 2.8.2 just for browser compatibility.

Also which Browser are you using. I was testing with IE on XP. But I have code reports that it worked well from other people.

I was testing with a file with 7 Qualifier each with 2 starts and 6 Finals each with 2 Starts and 59 Competitors

If you still have a problem with 2.8.2 perhaps you could email the .blw file and I will fix it.

Jon,

I tried publishing the results from a recently concluded worl d championship

that had 118 competitors with six qualifier races (blue, yellow, green, red)
and nine final races (gold, silver). The results page seems to be very
funky, see below.

Hi

As Promised a few screen shots.

I’ve also updated it to version 2.8.1 to include the ability to include the

start names in the column heading

If the start name is longer than 6 characters then it is not printed if it
is 6 or less then it is printed so all the normal colours can be printed

If you start the Start
name with a space the browser will probably print it
on a new line see the example below.

Inline images 1

Inline images 4

The following example shows how you can have Races split into multiple
starts and the Start names can be appended or not as you wish

You can have the Start name appended to the Race e.g. Q2Y or underneath

Q1

Yellow

or not at all. Starts that have no competitors in the group you are

publishing are ignored so you have double or t riple columns for qualifiers

and and single for Finals.

Inline images 2

Thats it for now

Regards

Jon

Thanks to everyone for the feedback on the previous versions

This version has a new Requested feature of displaying Starts in separate
columns when publishing the Series table.

From the Menu select Publish - Results and on the Options tab there is now
a tick box Publish Starts in Separate Columns

This will Publish separate columns for each start. Particularly useful when

you have Flights as you can see who is racing who .

Have a play with it and let me know what you think. I’ll tryand post a

couple of screen
shots tomorrow.

Versions 2.6.3 to 2.7.2 have a bug where they don’t save the starts
correctly this was due to some of the work Colin has been doing on the JSON

publishing. This should be OK again now.

As Usual any feedback is appreciated

Jon
