The Official MVPSavReader Thread

[edm]

hey anyone have the say 1800+ MLB playerpics for a download??

I've been working on some. have about 10 teams completed. 330 photos. Right now I'm just working on the NL. but if you want them let me know.

[edm]

Code box? Sorry to sound so stupid, but are the sortables only available if uploading to a web page?

I don't think so. Try downloading this file and place it in your "MVPSavReader" directory (or where ever you have your pages). I think it should work ok. Not sure if its the exact file Rich is using, but it's working

sorttable.js (right click save target as)

[JoeRudi26]

That did it! Thanks edm, this was one of the options I was really looking forward to. BTW, what was I missing? If it's too much to explain, that's ok, but usually I can figure these things out on my own.

[schitonk]

you can use sorting so long as you have the jre (java runtime environment) installed on your computer. if you use XP, you have to download it from sun.

edit: actually maybe you just need the plugin for your browser. dunno too much about java.

hells yeah! i downloaded about 15 today and had enough :

Sorry about the sorttable.js not being included guys. The one edm posted works fine, but I did tweak a few things in it. Here's my version:

// 2005-01-07: Modifications by Anthony.Garrett@aods.org (tested IE 6.0.28, Opera 7.54, Firefox 1.0)

// [Problem: Firefox 1.0 won't display the span style for the up and down arrows.]

// 2005-01-11: Anthony.Garrett@aods.org Fixed small bug:

// Error occurred when clicking on column header link just to the right of the text.

// 2005-01-11: mcramer@pbs.org integrated AG's fixes and added support for <select> sorting.

// 2005-01-13: mcramer@pbs.org: Caching optimizations. Should be faster on big tables.

// 2005-04-29: mcramer@pbs.org: Style fix, "nosort" stuff, and don't link empty headers.

thx rich! was trying to edit it myself to make higher values sort first.

and sure joerudi, i'll take those pics if you want to zip them up...

Sure thing. Got the address?

[spitoon]

Looking great Rich...

One suggestion (not that you don't already have a pile of them ). I love that you added "Create All Player Pages", but would it be possible to have it create the pages for only the selected league? IE create player pages for all current MLB players only?

[schitonk]

Sure thing. Got the address?

recorddelahora AT yahoo.com

thx man

[TROR]

RichK Your formula for determing those who qualify for batting titles is off

according to your math only 5 qualify when all 9 of my regulars actually qualify.

Total plate appearances

AB + BB + HBP + SF + SH + times reached on defensive interference

Then divide that by games played.

[Garrett67]

As an amateur programmer, although I did write a semi-popular program for FS2004, I can appreciate the work that went into this. Now, as a MVP fan and avid player, I thank you for creating and working hard on something so useful.

Great Job Rich! :wink:

[kitm9891]

I hate to ask so many questions in here, but RichK is there anyway you could upload a complete version of the savreader which would include the sortable features? If not then can you explain to me how to install all that code that you listed above? Im not a computer wiz, I can do the standard things but in terms of code and whatnot I am clueless. Someone earlier mentioned placing it in your install directory, and I dont even know where that is located at. So if anyone can give me a hand I would be forever grateful, thanks in advance.

download this file and place it in your "MVPSavReader" directory. I updated it with Rich's code above.

sorttable.js (right click save target as)

[kitm9891]

I did that and then when trying to run it I get an error that comes up, since Im not sure how to post the pic of the error I just wrote it down and will copy it myself, here is what I am getting...

Script: C:Program FilesMVPSavReadersorttable.js

Line: 13

Char: 1

Error: ' window ' is undefined

Code: 800A1391

Source: Microsoft JScript runtime error

[kitm9891]

Nevermind, when I placed the file in there I kept wanting to click on it and open it thinking I needed too, and apparently I didnt need to touch it after placing it in there, thanks for your help edm.

[schitonk]

i've keep getting this when creating player pages:

<a href='http://www.alitdom.com/MVP/dynasty/Rosters/0B881532.html'>Pittsburgh Pirates</a>

when clicking on roster link in career stats, Pitts Pirates in this case, it links me to what looks like (hex).html instead of PIT.html

edit: actually, i'm just noticing that it's just the pitchers that this happens to.

[kitm9891]

My last question for you edm is this, I was looking at you Phillies Dynasty and I noticed in your team stats page that you didnt have the NL and AL All-Star teams listed and I was curious how you got rid of them? Everytime I try and create league pages it auto loads the All-Star teams into the stats, this isnt a huge deal but it is kinda annoying. If there was any trick to getting them off the league stats pages then let me know if you can, thanks again for your help earlier.

[schitonk]

schitonk is correct. I manually removed them. This is something I keep forgetting to ask Rich about. Removing the all-star teams from the teams stats page. Especially now that there are sortable stats, the all-star teams seem to get in the way a bit.

[kitm9891]

Thanks for helping, I think I will be waiting for either RichK to update the savreader and add other features and then release that or I will put up with the All-Star teams being in the way, Im not good with editing things and Im not even sure where that MLB_Stats.html is located at anyways. Thanks again, I was just hoping there was something easy that I had missed.

[schitonk]

hey why does your team stats page look different from mine? (mine is on top) thats what mine looked like without the javascript.

ahhh you must be messing with stylesheets...

[onewaydown]

I've been working on some. have about 10 teams completed. 330 photos. Right now I'm just working on the NL. but if you want them let me know.

Someone mentioned this before, but Draft Dodger's PureSim face pack is the right size for this (65pix wide), but the only drawback is they are named firstname_lastname.jpg and not the otherway around. All you need is a batch renamer that can rename "A_B.jpg" to "B_A.jpg".

No, I haven't changed anything. Not sure why it looks like that. They both look the same on my end. Like the one on top
