CatoBase 6.1.x - Draft History for Existing Leagues?

TotalEnd98 · 07-06-2004, 10:58 AM

Maybe I'm an idiot, but I thought CatoBase 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 would generate the draft histories for existing databases as long as the player histories had been imported in 6.0.0. I imported player histories for each season for the eight seasons I ran CatoBase 6.0.0, but no draft histories were created when I generated the HTML pages in either 6.1.1 or 6.1.2. Am I doing something wrong, or will the histories not be created in this situation?

It worked fine for me when I did it. Did you generate the html reports for all seasons not just the current one?

It worked for me as well - I simply deleted my latest season from the database, re-imported it using 6.1.1, and created new .html, including team and league pages for all years and re-calculating Win Shares for all years:

Yes. Relevant settings are Current Year Only disabled under the output tab and Recalculate All Years enabled under the Win Shares tab.

Hmm, I didn't consider deleting the latest season and reimporting. I'll try that now.

*groaning at the thought of another hour-and-a-half of HTML generation*

That's enough groaning from you. It took me 6.5 hours for 29 seasons. :-)

It runs the routine that figures out the draft picks during the import process. So, if you haven't imported a season with 6.1.1 or 6.1.2, then the Draft table would still be empty.

Deleting the last season and reimporting would work, too.

OK, deleting and reimporting did the trick. Thanks for your help, everyone!

Wow. That's pretty intense.

This time around, it took me about 2 hours for 8. Which puts me at just over 7 for 29 seasons, should this league make it that far.
