Woohoo! Roster Update Automation achieved!

Postby Brutus » Fri Jan 27, 2006 7:42 am

Thanks to copious amounts of code snippets from Ken, I've finally finished my auto-updater script for the roster. The script, when activated, automatically opens up the attendance database, exports the records, sorts them by hobbit/non-hobbit, attendance, and character name for ties, parses those records into an HTML table, then uploads that new HTML to the riverbend site, all with no user interaction necessary after the script is activated.

Combined with the actual database and its related scripts, keeping attendance current is now about a 60 second job after each practice. This means there is no good excuse for not keeping at least that part of the site updated... but not having a good excuse hasn't stopped me before!
