Introduction
This document has been written to assist you in updating the team database from
the web site.
Details that you key into the web site
will populate a database (not held on the web site) and the database will then
in turn update the web site. It is important to realize that the details are
posted to an off line database and therefore the results are not posted
instantly.
So REMEMBER the data that you will
add will ONLY appear on the website the next time it updates. Their will
be more on that important point later.
If the concept of a full team entry system works we will look to develop a true
on line system for 2008/2009 Season.
Getting Started
You will need your own Username and password - David Barraclough, Dave Rolph
or David Paylor can organize these details.
Go to the web site www.themavericks.co.uk
and click the Login
Menu option (as shown below).
See the
screenshot below. Click into the Username and type your Username and then click
into the password and type your password then click the grey logon
button.
Note: the name
and password ARE case sensitive.
How to Login
Once you have entered the correct name and password you will be presented with a menu custom to you or your team. As Below
Team menu (Example)
Simply click the menu of the item you wish to
enter / update.
Important notes for entering
You must read each of the help topics for entering specific details as they are
all slightly different but when entering any form you must ensure
1
- Never use the enter key while keying
data unless you are finished. If you press the enter key prior to entering
your validation key you will be presented with a red screen prompting you to
press the back button on your browser and enter your validation
key.
Use the tab key or your mouse to skip between entries.
2
- Ensure that your validation key is
correct before you submit.
IMPORTANT: If you enter a wrong validation
key your data will NOT be added to the database and you will
NOT be notified. So take care when
entering your validation key.
Details of the validation key here
3
- Double check all entries before you
submit
4
- REMEMBER the data that you will add
will ONLY appear
on the website the next time it
updates.
Player Admin
From here you can add new players, update player details and remove a player
who has left the team.
Please
note that the system will allocate a player ID and this will be allocated and
used for the season (and likely future seasons) so it is important that you :
1 - Do not replace a different players details over the top of a player.
2 - Do not enter anything in the player ID column - you will notice that after you have added a player and the database has later processed the data that the Player ID will be present automatically.
Enter the players forename and surname as a minimum,
if you have it you can also add the Date of Birth (dd/mm/yyyy).
After a player has been added and been given a Player ID you can simply add or amend the Date of Birth or remove the tick in the
active box to remove the player from the team (if a player leaves your team mid season
for example).
Once
you have finished,
and you have double checked your entry and entered your validation key
click the submit button to send the data to the database.
Opponents You can add new teams by simply entering the name in the
white box (start from the top of the page and work down). If you make a
mistake after submitting the opponent details (spelling for example)
you can simply retype over the incorrectly spelt entry and the last opponent
sheet you submit will be the one used.
Once
you have finished and you have double checked your entry and entered your
validation key click the submit button
to send the data to the database.
Matches To enter the results you must NOT touch the
Team ID - this will be populated for you. Enter your score and then the opponents score. Each of your players will be listed - if a
player is missing then you have not waited enough time from entering the player
details, please wait for the next update before you continue - you might wish to
try and click the refresh button in your browser to re-load the page. Link examples _Top = whole page
The validation key is an added security item created for
entry forms, if you enter results with an incorrect validation key your results
will not be entered into the database. If you enter details without a valid key you will not
be informed - the data will simply not be entered into the master database. Web Master Menu Trouble Shooting

You should only choose one Man of the Match (MOM) even though the form would
actually let you choose more than one !
All players by default are marked as started - if a player does not start a
match but comes on as a sub un-tick the started box and tick the Sub box.

News
This section has been designed so that you can add important news to the title
bar (top right hand side), you have 6 lines you can enter but this can be many
lines of news, using the pipe character "|" you can add line breaks.
The pipe character can usually be found next to the left hand shift key on your
keyboard (you will need to hold down the shift key to get this character).
We have made the news page as easy to use as it can be but the trick is to
experiment.
In
the first line you will see that a default first line appears - you can change
this but it will also give you an idea how the pipe character can be used.
Pause
You
can change the length of time that each section pauses - this is in
milliseconds - the default is 2000 (2 seconds)
Column1
(news)
Enter
your text in here - please do not use the ' character or "
Column2
(link)
If
you want the news text to link to another page you can enter it in here.
You may need to ask me - dave@rolph.com
for page names !
Some Examples of linked pages are listed below.
Column3
(Target)
If
you enter a linked page from Column2 then you should also specify which
frame or window it should appear in, this is important to get the look and
feel of the site right.

Only Web Masters have access to this menu.
Individual team managers have access only to their own team
page.
From this menu the options are quite self explanatory, but you must remember
that when you have keyed information into this it will not update the web site
instantly, the database will need to be run in order to take the information you
key and upload it back in a web page format.
