X-Wing List Juggler

By sozin, in X-Wing

Hey Kryzak - the software autolocks the tourney when all the lists are entered. if you click on the lock symbol and put in your gmail address it'll unlock.

re: list copy, totally. there actually is a hidden 'copy' link; the problem is, it is buggy. if you just want to copy a ship and not mess with it, it works fine. but if you do want to copy and make changes to it, changing the copy alters the original one! (for all you javascript enthusiasts out there, this happens because a jquery deep clone operation on a select2 container doesn't copy the callback functions - they all share the same callback function :-( I bashed my head against it for a few days before giving up with a 'meh I'll just disable the copy button...'

re: list import from yasb, voidstate -kryzak, it should be working, are you seeing the same get-it-button-not-enabling behavior as before?

Thanks Sozin! Got to reenter the list now. and thanks for the tip on the copy. hopefully it gets reinstated some day. :)

Yeah, I still don't see the buttons working, and I've tried it in both Firefox and Chrome.

can someone else try to reproduce the issue kryzak is experiencing? it is working fine for me :-(

go to http://lists.starwarsclubhouse.com/enter_list?tourney_id=156&tourney_list_id=1730 and enter '1234' (no quotes' into the voidstate . verify that the 'get it!' button becomes selectable, and that when you 'get it' it fetches the list from voidstate.

Just tried as suggested. Works fine on my iPad/Safari. Button gets enabled and the 99pts List shows up.

Is it locked? I can't seem to enter text where it says " OR TYPE IN A VOIDSTATE LIST NUMBER ". I'm running chrome.

It isn't locked. When you hover your mouse over the text input area it should turn yellow. clicking on it enables text input. so weird, thats two people who can do it and two people that can't! can a fifth person try it out?

I was able to click the cell and enter in 1234, then have the "get it" button enable, and that got a list, but it's not obvious that there's a text entry box there, or that clicking it is going to do anything, so it's a bit of a leap of faith. Not sure I'd have figured it out, since it seems like the button needs to be clicked first, and clicking the button first doesn't enable the textbox.

Changing the border CSS to "1px solid #ddd" does wonders.

Oh, duh, user error. I didn't realize that the text box to fill in was below the text. Need to make that more obvious somehow. Like at least drawing a box around it.

heh heh, I'll change the UI to be more intention revealing :-) thanks guys

ok, I made the text instructions for each importer pretty explicit; feedback appreciated!

I have a totally new idea for doing it.

Make one text box, with a box around it, that's really obvious that you should enter the ListID there.

Then have a 3-way option selection, for YASB, Voidestate, or Fab's.

This will take less space and be more visually intuitive, I think. At least give it a try and see what it looks like. Something like:

List ID Site Select

--------------- [ ] Yet Another Squad Builder

| | [ ] Voidestate

--------------- [ ] Fab's

Edit: P.S. Ideally it shouldn't need any instructions. Make it really simple, less text description. Easy to understand = good = better data

Ideally, it shouldn't need any instructions

I agree, but with this one it is tricky given the different xws sources (yasb, voidstate, fab's) have different input types (urls versus integer strings) and will consequently create different requirements (and sources of user trip-up) to the user/data inputter. I think the UI convention here is to help help pop-ups on complicated input fields like these.

Your suggested UI layout is reasonable though -- I'll attach help pop-up fields to the radio, and the three get-it buttons can be refactored down to a single one.

In general my HTML UI skillzs are middling to bad (to the point that one of you has offered to start doing CSS, thank you kind Spaniard! :D )

Updated default sorting on the tourney results so swiss and championship results sort better.

Would it be possible to put a link to the Cryodex download on the listjuggler site? I've had a few times where afewmaneuvers was down and people were asking where to download from. Just thinking it would be handy.

definitely. where do you think it should go on the site? perhaps in the banner, underneath the summary stats?

A banner thing or in the about section. I've never been too good with link placement.

With an exclamation point!!! We're in business now!

Sorry for the late reply, but FINALLY figured that Voidstate field out! I keep on trying to click that "get it" button since it looks just like the "rebel" "empire" "scum" buttons below. And then the whole box highlights yellow, and I didn't realize that the space between the text and "get it" is where you enter numbers!

Works now, thank you!!!

heh heh, thanks :-) I still need to make this page easier to use.

in other news, on my train ride into work I re-implemented delete and retry list functionality (sadly, I don't have the stomach to implement a list editor ... hopefully elistevens will save me there) to be google safe. I added a rel=nofollow and a javascript popup "are you sure" window to stop the googlebot from deleting stuff.

Still working on it. As I was trying to pull it out from the other project, I realized just how janky and tied to other things it was, so I'm working on porting it to Backbone.js. Sorry for the delay. :)

No sweat, worth waiting for

I saw a thread where someone was asking "what ships are people flying with decimators?"

So I added a tableau view that lets you do that. Here's a video of how to use the page. The 'Lists' column is a count of how many lists showed up; for example, 30 lists featured a decimator with a phantom. the 'Pilots' is a count of how many distinct pilots showed up; for example, across all lists submitted, 18 tie fighters were paired with a decimator.

After filtering a seeing results, is there somehow a way to view the list results?

For example, I see there is 1 list with Kyle Katarn and Leebo. How do then go view this list?

that's a useful feature. adding it to the backlog
