Catobase Award Selection/Editing

TheRockCT · 09-05-2004, 10:36 PM

Okay, I've just recently tried to go back and edit some of the previous award winners in my league, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I'm a little worried I'll overwrite the database or the history files, and I have a backup but I'd just like to save time & effort and not attempt anything I don't know about.

When I'm going into "Edit" and selecting Award Winners for my league, it brings up the correct award winners, etc. However, when I go to change them, and then select "Import Award Winners" it can't find the lnews.html file and when I cancel out it clears out all the award winners for that year. Can someone give me a walkthrough on this? Importing sounds like I'd be importing the award winners that OOTP already selected. What do I have to do to export the changes I've made into the history files?

To get what you select for awards to stick you don't have to do anything. You just pick the guys you want in the places you want, then do "Close" or something. Test it by doing that then going back to it - your choices will still be there. Your picks and/or changes will be reflected the next time you make the HTML files.
