Hi Jantzen,

I know there is a difference between java script and java itself. In the case of the BBData login it works with an java script which needs a clientside action and thats my problem in the moment because I want to do a serverside query with html/php!

Maybe you could support me and give me some idea or solution how that can work without javascript login procedures!?

I would also like to get a more decent login.
Cant you expose the data as a webservice or something?

You could also make us post a application name in the post input and that way control the application who use the interface.
I you don't mind me saying so the login now seems like a quick fix to exposed the data.

I think with the new interface (http://www2.buzzerbeater.org/BBData/) there is already an more decent login/webservice which is also the best way for using with applications but at all it needs the possibility to login with HTML/PHP, maybe there is a way to do that and I am to boorish, then please support me!

Does at least you can change the label Passord to AccessKey

Does at least you can change the label Passord to AccessKey

Hi, why should that be changed - I dont understand?!

Because the login for accessing XML files use the access key instead of the password. Of course for security reasons.
My application Basket Organizer already uses this mechanism of authentication from the previous month. Thus each user need not show your password.
Sometimes users reported difficulties in login because they write a password and not the access key

Ahh , I understand... sometime I must look at your application!

For I can not write so many in mail, I'd like to write the things here.
According to current XML files, the new version of BBAmor will be released before May 21. I ask more than 10 Chinese users test the application now and here are some information ahout your XMLs.

1. As I metioned before. You use both teamid and teamID in xmlgames. Now I replace the teamid to teamID after I download the xml files.
2. The "rating" in xmlboxscore is wrong.
3. The meaning of "forfeit" in xmlboxscore.
4. The number of "practice" (game shape) in xmlroster is 1 level lower than the level shown in page.
5. I can not find the "position" of the roster. Now I calculate it and users of BBA can change it if they want.
6. IMPORTANT. Some team name contains the character "&" and XML file standards do not allow putting "&" directly into the contents. All xml parsers can not deal with this unless you parse the file by Bytes. You can check the file xmlgames.aspx?teamid=25268 to see the result. Now I'm going to change the "&" into "and" after I download the xml files. And I do not know if some one put "[" or "<" into their names what will happened in your xml files.

For the further requirements:
I'd like to analyse the arena information but I'll follow your schedule if you have.

Last:
Will you send notice here if your are going to change the XML structure and leave some period for us to adapt it?

Here's what I'd like to see to make organizing scrimmages more efficient. Rather than having to scroll through the Forum post for teams looking for a scrimmage, or crawling through our league or other leagues in search of somebody available to scrimmage, why not have a separate page for "Teams Looking for a Scrimmage". Every week, all a manager needs to do to get on the list for the week is to hit one button (needs to be done for each week). The page should list all teams (including country and league) looking to schedule a scrimmage.

In general, I haven't yet had a problem scheduling a scrimmage when I've needed one. But the time it takes to find teams that I are on my team's competitive level and that are still available for a scrimmage is enough to make it a bit dreadful. I've only actually had somebody reach out to me for a scrimmage once so far, every other scrimmage I've had has come because I'd send out 14 invites a week when I've needed a scrimmage, and eventually one team accepts. A single page with teams purposefully adding their names to it would consolidate available teams on one page, a make it easier to find an active team that is seriously interested in a scrimmage.

Hey childhorn, you should post this into the suggestion forum:

here youre in the forum of Application Development...

Hi, you wrote that Buzzerbeater Amor is an open-source project and I saw the source files at (http://sourceforge.net/projects/bba/) but now they are gone, where I can find them now?

Thanks and Greetings OJAY

They are still there the source files:

What I dont understand is why you make it in Java and then makes it dependent to windows with some bat script.
Isnt it hsql or derby you are using as DB, you can use that in embedded mode.
