ASP Football Support Forum

Do I have a different updateScores.asp file? The one I have just allows me to manually update the scores.

This is my first year working with ASP files and as such have no knowledge of how to "fix" things. The Entry Form that I am using is supposed to send out a copy of the picks to the player (downloaded the edited weeklyEntry.asp file from here) and the following is what the email looks like....

Interesting...The menu is now visible on firefox (newest version) if you hover over it, but I can't click on any of the drop down links. On Microsoft Edge, the white background is still there and I forced refreshed the page.

If this is a Firefox issue, here is what Mozilla support suggested and it worked for me. My problem was that the menus would not drop down at all. Perhaps it will work in this case. (1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to ...

Do a search in your styles/common.css for the following and compare it to the code your file: #siteMenu .subMenu { background-color: #000000; background-image: url("../graphics/smokedGlassBg.png"); border: 1px solid #000000; border-top-width: 0px; padding: 2px 0px; border-bottom-left-radiu...

A URL would be good to see if we are seeing the same thing you are. Is it possible that it is a firefox issue (if you are using firefox)? When I first set up my pool, the menus would not drop down on the newer version of firefox until I figured out the problem with the help of Mozilla support.

Thanks...I've already advised my players about it, so I am going to let it go as is for the moment. I guess I can always stop it as the season goes by.

Following your suggestion, I have enabled the Margin and Survivor pools and in reading the Help page, I see that it is a combination type pool. One pick covers both the margin and survivor pool...I assume that if a player is eliminated in the survivor pool in week 3, he can still continue to play th...

I am running a test pool this year (free) but plan on adding a margin and survivor pool next year. I joined a fellow manager's pool this year and am signed up for all three pools, but I find that I have to log in separately for each pool to make my picks. Is that the way it is supposed to be and if ...

Should have thought about that myself. Pretty easy fix.

Great, thanks. I will check out the Summary file when the time comes. I wonder if I have to notify my players that is where it is found.

No idea on the Overall Prize Mod?

I don't see a link that displays a running overall standings...am I missing it? I also saw in the forum that Mike Hall had started to put together an Overall Prize Mod that determined the payout standings for the overall pool but it seems that he never finished it. Does anyone have such a file?

After repeated attempts and my authorization to google to allow access from this server, the emails are being sent and received. I used the code listed in this thread. Thanks to everyone for all the help.

Yes, SERVER_EMAIL_ENABLED is set to true in the config file and when I added your suggested code using the gmail smtp information, I get the following error message when trying to send it. The transport failed to connect to the server. I found some code that Mike Hall put together a while back calle...

That's the problem then...I don't have an "Email Players" link under Administration after logging as the Admin. I also don't see an option in config.asp to set it. What am I missing?

It doesn't matter where I add the link, unless I remove the requires login to view code in the file, it keeps sending the player to the login module.

I've made your suggested changes Stutgrtguy and I guess I will find out if the email module works when someone registers. I thought there was a way to send emails to individual players but if there is one, I can't seem to find it.

Thanks for your response Stutgrtguy and I added my link exactly where you suggest I should add it. Unfortunately it did not work until I removed the code in the file that said it required a login to view it. The problem is that even if a player was logged in, clicking that link would take him back t...

Thanks for your response Russaholic. I was trying to add it after this code <% if ENABLE_MESSAGE_BOARD then %> <td> <a href="messageBoard.asp">Message Board</a> </td> <% end if %> which in my menu.asp starts at line 10 right after the Home link. This is way above the <% if IsAdmin() then %...

I'm trying to add a link to the menu but it only works when the Admin is logged in. When a player is logged in, clicking on the menu item takes me back to the login page even though it shows I am logged in as a player. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

I had the same problem and the problem is inherent to Firefox versions after 67.x.x. According to Mozilla support, do the following: (1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk. (2) In the sear...

I am using a free webhost to host my asp type football pool and the package does not include email server. It suggests redirecting the email to gmail and provides a link to set it up but the link is not valid. Does anyone have any idea how I can use an smtp server from another domain to send my emai...

I've been trying to figure out how the live scoreboard works. I know that it depends on the scoreboard.js file in the scripts folder and the scoreboard.css file in the styles folder, but what triggers the scoreboard to show. Which file actually generates the scoreboard.

Thanks for your response 6burgh. I had the time offset to 0 in the config.asp and it was showing the correct time for my area (pacific). What I wanted to do was show the pacific time zone for the entry form. In reading the forum, I found a file called time.asp that changes the schedule in the databa...

How do I change the timezone from eastern to pacific. I read somewhere that the timezone information is in the database, but I have not been able to find it.
