Cato question

SandMan · 01-08-2004, 02:09 AM

I just downloaded the utility and am reading the readme. I do not have any league.html, lnews.html or ltrans.html files in my league. The instructions say to create these files then use the exporter to get the csv files. How do I create the html files from within OOTP.

I just finished the first year and did not go to the next year. Are these files created after you go to the next year? Also when do you use the exporter to get the csv files - I was thinking after the World Championship is this correct? If I go to the next year will the html files be based on the previous year and where are these files created??

The utility looks like it would be worth the effort if I could just get the first year loaded.

Thanks

If you haven't moved to next year your in luck. Go to the League menu and select the Online League Setup option. This will take you to the screen of the same name.

The top half of that screen is the General Options and FTP Settings sections, ignore them. Go to the Master HTML Report section and set the Destination Folder setting to the directory that Cato is pointing to in the Game HTML Files option setting. Next set the Generate Player Pages option to No, Include Box Scores to zero and Include Game Logs to No. After this has been done press the Generate Report button. You will see some progress screens. After this is finished then the files you mentioned should be in the folder you specified in the Destination Folder.

Generate the HTML and export files AFTER the last postseason game but BEFORE you proceed to the next year.

Cheers,
Mark
