Although I'm not a coder... I'm a weekend warrior and comfortable tweaking code (not the greatest at writing it from scratch) and do so daily as an IT program manager. What's the preferred way of collaborating? I threw together a github page... happy to use something else but at least that can get u...

I would like to add... update to HTML 5 or something that changes based on screen size. A majority of my league (not running it this year) asked for a mobile version when I asked them what they'd like to see change. The other MAJOR change would be enabling the site to run on a LAMP server (installed...

Has anyone ever set this site up on Azure? I feel like this could be a great solution for hosting (even free with certain offers), but can get it working right (dreadfully slow). Or does anyone have a write up on setting up a server locally? I assume a WAMP server would do and just point it to a URL...

Is there anything needed to be changed here with the RAMS moving?

Did you ever get this resolved? Could it be a game schedule issue or possibly missing a score input?

Thanks Phil- always on top of things!

I'll see if I have time in the coming weeks to re-purpose this into the current site (vs. standing up another). Could be a great replacement for the prop-bet style superbowl.

Does anyone have a way of doing the SuperBowl squares? You know the ones where each square costs $X amount, then right before kickoff the numbers get drawn.

Would be cool to have for the entire season where people can buy them at any time with the winnings from their weeks.

Hmmm- happened again this week. I open a browser on the machine (Chrome) and log in as the admin. Check the auto-update box and it'll load the first time but thats it. Then I refresh the page and it makes me log back in as the admin. Oh well, seasons over so time to make the tweaks for next year (wh...

Interesting... I can never get this to work automatically. My browser always times out. My set up is a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine always on (media server, etc) that I log in as the admin. Then I go to update scores and check the box. The first scores update no problem but then I can't get it to ...

This is great! I'm going to try and run this when i get home on my test box.

Just to be clear, this needs to be executed locally (and not part of a 'loader' program like the scoring update feature). Correct?

I got crazy lucky... everyone got knocked out, meaning that everyone is back in! The colts loss yesterday saved me.

Would still like to know how to do this as people have asked in the past to do a second have of the season survivor (but possibly ATS to make it harder).

A mobile version of the site (or an app).

Has anyone done a more elegant solution? With NO and MIA loss this week, it looks like my survivor pool is already coming to a close (35 people pool!). I still have the weekly running but wanted to do another buy-in for another side pool... Any ideas? I guess I could duplicate the code, increment th...

I have an always on server at home for Plex media anyway... I could just open the web page on there and leave it open! Hopefully that'll work.

As always, thanks for the help Phil.

Go Bears.

Just curious... is there a lot of activity on your message board? I feel like most people ignore it completely!

I built a spreadsheet that I can copy footballlocks table, paste it in the spreadsheet. Paste in the weeks 'set point spreads' sheet and it matches up the spreads and changes the (-) to (+) where needed. I didn't make it fool proof as I built it for a quick tool and was never meant to help others......

Silly question... but I've only finally got the auto-update to work. Is the process to use it- -go to enter game scores page -check auto-update -press load (at which point the games are updated) -press 'Update' [unsure if this step is needed] Is there a way to default this to ON so that I never have...

This is 100% going in for next year... my pool has grown too big for just 1st place payouts!

Has anyone figured this out yet? I've been using football locks . com to get the data manually and input it into the site, but it seems like there has to be an easier way! Does anyone know where the data is available in a better format (like an API vs. a screen scrape)? Would be hugely helpful (I on...

NO IDEA why... but changing the smtpserverport from 25 to 26 makes it work! Hopefully it's a fix and not a fluke.

For some reason, my email stopped working today. Gives me the 'The transport failed to connect to the server. ' error! There have been no changes and I'm using the email server provided by my hosting provider (HostGator). I've tested the email address, and it works fine (sent emails to it and from i...

Is this only change to make this work again this year:

Hey Everyone, This year I'm capping the number of pickem players to 30 people. I had more than that last year and there were too many ties for my liking. The way I run my pool is everyone pays upfront for the season and must play each week. Also, everyone playing in the pickem is also required to pl...

Hey Everyone- Hoped the season went well for those running pools and those that participated in some! This is the first year I modified the code to lock when the games started (vs. locking at the kick off of the first game). Do we know how this impacts the playoff pool? Are there code changes to mak...

Can you check if this is all data that is encrypted with the key? Emails are... Account balances are not (at least I dont think so). Are passwords okay?

I dont have access to my webserver right now to check what is/is not encrypted... but this may be the issue.
