Primary/secondary days are broken

[stardustspeedway]

Are these supposed to be based on grade or conference? Right now, it looks like we've got some horrendously broken mix of the two.

[Kyle-Falconer]

I wouldn't be surprised. I think this is supposed to be broken down on the larger (grade?)

In the config.ini, we have: conference=1-T:WUS

This indicates that (grade?) has tuesday as primary, wednesday, sunday, and saturday as secondary.

[stardustspeedway]

Found it, CourtScheduleIO line 427. The GUI has "JV" and "V" grades, though, and his input has neither of those AND a "JH" grade... I'll just fix the config by hand.

[stardustspeedway]

...Wait, there can be teams with different grades in the same conference. I'm defaulting to conference; that may result in a ton more work to do on the GUI (adding arbitrary numbers of data on conferences), but if there's a better way, I don't see it.

[Kyle-Falconer]

What exactly needs to change in the configuration utility then? I'm reworking it, so now's the time to tell me.

[stardustspeedway]

Essentially, instead of the primary/secondary day screen having a fixed number of grades, it needs to be like the holiday screen and support as many conferences as he needs. (It makes no sense to base primary/secondary days on grades when there can be multiple grades in a conference...)

That might be a little much work to get done by Thursday, but we can always have him manually write the config as a stopgap measure if necessary.

[stardustspeedway]

For reference: this is what the conference block should look like now. The "1a"/"2c" is a conference designation, NOT a grade.

conference=1a-R:WSU
conference=1b-R:WSU
conference=1c-F:WSU
conference=2a-F:WSU
conference=2b-WS:U
conference=2c-WS:U

As of ed1a7443ec885639c3dda1c49a3753a59d1f984e, it looks like the code is fixed.

Do we want to: A. send this off to him and have him tell us what the primary/secondary days are for each conference, then build a config manually or B. wait until the config program is done and send it all at once?

[Kyle-Falconer]

Are we certain that this is the right behavior? I was under the impression that grades would share conference days.

[stardustspeedway]

Actually, I think you're right and I was off-base. If grades is okay, then we can keep the primary/secondary window, we just need to either include a JH grade or have him use V/JV instead.

[Kyle-Falconer]

I don't know which, but I think JV/V is 9 and 10 on the grade scale?

[stardustspeedway]

JV being Junior Varsity, I'd presume that's 9-- it doesn't matter, as long as it matches what's in the spreadsheet for grade. It's all stored as strings anyway.

[stardustspeedway]

I think a significant portion of the weirdness of the output was that the first day was always entirely open. I tacked a band-aid over that, and now everything looks much more reasonable-- plus, now it warns you if something likely went wrong.

If there's something I missed, let me know. I'm running it one more time with production data to make sure it wasn't a fluke.

Oh, right. JH needs to either be added to the config or replaced in the xlsx with something that IS in the config-- it doesn't matter which, but if that doesn't happen it's just going to schedule the JH games on any day.

Do you want to package it, or should I do it when I get back? Either way, I'd like to have something sitting in his inbox for tomorrow if possible.

I'm still trying to test on Windows XP, stuck on updating it (virtual machine)

[Kyle-Falconer]

If you want to test this one out and then email the link to him, go ahead. My changes still aren't complete though, and this is using the old version of the configuration utility.

[stardustspeedway]

All right. Pushed a couple tiny little tweaks-- package when you're done with your changes.
