Re:Page loading

Hi Folks,

I have vreated a page that loads like the following http://www.gnjgf.co.za/construction.php and it seems a bit amateurish.

Please advise me as to how this can be improved ?

Secondly - I have inserted a button so as to revert back to the previous page which does not seem to work as expected - DO you have any advice?

Re: Contact Form

Your BAck button works. Of course, if you open the link in a new browser window, there is NOWHERE back to go, so it appears as not working. Open your browser, visit a whichever page, then , in the same window, open your link, and test the Back button. You will see it is working.

Re: Contact Form

Looks fine to me.

The reason your back to previous page button is not working is that the link to that page has a target set as blank or self. Therefore it opens the page in a new window and there is nothing to go back previous to. So to correct- on the link to the underconstruction page- leave the target box empty.

Re: Contact Form

Hi George,

I have a couple of questions.

If I create a database of members can a script or program do a sort according to certain criteria, produce the result, create the sorted page and upload it automatically to my website.

Or does one have to physically go through each individual process to obtain the final result?

Re: Contact Form

Yes, this is quite possible. This is one of the types of scripts i build. The criteria must be logical ones (equal, contain, bigger than, smaller than, etc) among the database fields.

Re: Contact Form

Hi George,

Thanks for the reply.

That sounds great.

The logical order is not the problem as it is determined by number.

The trick I am hoping to over come is the automatic upload once the sorting has been done.

If I can alude to explain.

Members enter a tournament and based on thier ability (handicap) they get grouped together.

These same players are then grouped according to a time allocation called a draw.

This draw needs to be uploaded automatically. If I accept that my tournament is full then I need to use an activate button and the draw will be posted with the players seeing their time.

Examples of this (time allocation) can be seen at http://www.gnjgf.co.za/DRAW1T.htm and at the similar site http://www.gnjgf.co.za/DRAW1A.htm which would give an alphabetical listing with the same time allocation in a different column.

I do not think its is a major task if you can write the script as the number crunching is the simple part - the uploading well I would have to learn.

your veiws again would be welcome

Re: Contact Form

Well, i don't quite understand the logic of this, as i am not golf knowledgable, but with a php/database driven script, you can do practically anything, including these two pages you have there. Of course, you need to know how to program in php/html.

Re: Contact Form

Hi George,

Thanks for your honesty - I dont mean to challenge your golf knowledge.

the very important thing for me to understand is that - a script can be written that when I press an activate button - a "draw" - alphabetical list will be automatically uploaded to the place where members can veiw their starting times for an event.

This process if possible will same my organisation huge amounts of time. We are parents that run this organisation at no charge and thus time for us is important.

Improving this process will surely assist us greatly

Re: Contact Form

Such a script is possible. The database will be updated by a form. The webpage will have in it a script to retreive the database info, sorted as desired. The "activation" (let's call it so) button will allow the admin to define if the webpage will display the chart or it will display a "Draw under construction" or some other simlar message.
