i know it's already showed in teaminfo but if i want to calculate the number of bots in the leagues above mine it would mean a LOT of bbapi calls (so, a lot of time for my tool to work and a lot of stress for the servers)
Hi Mark, I see no problem to make it in the descriped way of course it needs more calls but that it is.. take it like it is and all is fine!
It makes sense that there is not same information in different XMLs.
Dont give up - find the right way!
greetz OJAY
there are many reasons not to "take it like it is"
like i already said it takes 1 call for team as it is now, so
1) it takes a lot of time waiting for all the hundreds of XMLs on their way back (i'm talking about minutes)
2) it's also more stressing for the website having to answer to hundreds of BBAPI calls instead of just a few and i don't want to create any problem
there are 16 teams for division
so retrieving the data of all the divisions down to the IIIs it'd take only 21 calls instead of 336
taking the IVs into account it's 85 calls instead of 1360
it's not like i'm asking them to store the same information in different tables of the DB. only to replicate it in different XMLs, like it already happens with many other informations
please note that the same information i'm asking for exists already in BBWEB in your conference page (LeagueInfo.aspx)
of course if it can't be done there's no problem for me
if only any BB would read this forum once in a while...
