Getch's Utilities Help

[Syxx34]

I need help with installing his utilities to the hosting account. Ive tried and dont understand. All uploads for file, reports, and exports/imports are all working now. :-). Just need to figure out the e-mail thing and these utilities. If anyone could help me install these three things to my site.

Export Tracker
Draft Thing
All-Star Voting

[Syxx34]

no one can help me to install these utilities?

What version is your league? Last I read it only worked for OOTP9.

When I installed ours I seem to recall it going pretty smoothly. I don't remember, but I imagine I just followed his readme file.

[Syxx34]

For ootpX. Someone told me it would work and someone else told me statslab or something. I just want it to track the teams exports, all-star voting, and to help with the draft. So if I could use either or. Any advice is greatly appreciatead.

Well, it looks like Getch is working on a version for OOTPX that he says he'll provide a beta for if you ask.

You might want to just try out fhomess's statslab. Apparently it has some features that Getch's didn't.

[Syxx34]

yea can someone put the read me in english? What is writing something? I seriouslly would appreciate if someone just set it up for me....i am clueless. I Know html and some javascripts. I dont mess with php, cgi, or anything else. Be very appreciated if someone could help me.

[Syxx34]

Can anyone help me install statslab for me and show me how to input the files needed to make this statslab run? Been trying to do this for 3 days now. I only understand HTML and some javascript. I am clueless on php stuff as well as writing thing? How do you write a file? This would probably be easier if someone just did it as I dont have a clue on what to do. Its got so bad that I got th read me file printed out and makes no sense to me.

[Syxx34]

still cant get statslab on to my server...this thing is awesome but never realized how much of a pain in the butt it is to get working.

Are you reading the read-me files? I don't understand how you can claim to know html and java (or javascript? they are different in case you didn't know) and not understand how to follow a set of directions.

I can set up your getch utilities for you if you want but I have never done the statslab. It requires you have a SQL database and some other features. I am not sure I like it any better than getch's utils and his are much easier to manage and set up.

[Syxx34]

I had someone put it up....and now its down again. I will try to contact you. Im off the next two days. My AIM is fightin83irish.

Let me clarify some things. I set up StatsLab for this league, not once but twice. Adam, somehow, you managed to break it twice that forced me to install it twice. The StatsLab utilities are neither difficult to install or use. I have them in two of my leagues, conducted two initial drafts in my leagues and didn't have but one problem with them.

I told you I would reinstall them yet again this week. But I wonder if you have read the manual at all on how to use them. Once installed, after each sim, you have the game create the sql files for you and then you upload them to the folder that I told the utility to look for them. Then you go to admin and you load them. That's it, nothing difficult at all. So, whatever you are doing (such as deleting the dbopen.php file which is needed), quit and you can enjoy me installing it yet again for you.

As for whether Getch or StatsLab are better than the other, I love Getch's utilities but they weren't available when I started my OOTPX league but StatsLab was. So, I installed StatsLab. I think they have been fantastic and fhomess has been very responsive when I have pinged him for assistance.

[Syxx34]

Yes I have read them...and tried myself several times for 2 to 3 hours each time. I really only understand basic html and some small javascripts. I know i have to upload the files. which I have done. However I dont understand what to put in the install.php fields or the admin...every time i try...i go back the fields are blank. So lost on why that happens. Ive tried before I asked him to do it...and now because people have been asking for it...and im just stumped.

[Getch]

PM me with the info and I'll help. Any issues, feel free to contact me directly.

Edit: Can't help you with StatsLab tho

[Syxx34]

Thats what I have is statslab. I tried yours and then someone suggested statslab. I couldnt get either or up and now its now working properly. I know basic html and javascripts. Completely clueless on php. I just need either one...which I do have someone helping me with statslab...so hopefully we can get it soon!

It sounds like you are getting help from huskerdan25, right Syxx34?

BUT since he is in the same league as you, why doesn't he simply admin StatsLab for you? Set him up as a commissioner in the OOTP X file so that he has access to the admin portions of StatsLab and then every time you run a sim and post the results... huskerdan can take care of the StatsLab update?

[Syxx34]

he runs two leagues....i think he has enough to deal with and i appreciate his help

[Syxx34]

working on gretch's utilities. I did get the page to come up. Stumped on what to put in the fields...Most of it shows however I cant get off the admin page and there one image missing. Can someone IM me on aim to help me out.
