Linking player and team records #20

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
It would be good to link player results in QBSQL tournaments to result
aggregators like NAQT's. r58 introduces a field for NAQT player IDs, but
they must be added manually from the player edit screen.

We should attempt to determine the ID automatically using the NAQT search
page:

ram&LAST_NAME=Lyon

As of r62, potential matches are shown when an admin is looking at a player 
detail,
and a link to the NAQT records is shown when a player ID is available. This 
slows
down admin viewing of player details, since each view waits for the NAQT server 
to
respond before being sent to the browser. This is not an issue for non-admins 
and
when the NAQT ID field has been filled in.

This is a nice start. The prompting being done here should also happen when 
adding
players, perhaps as part of a much-needed rewrite of that entire script.

r64 makes this happen. We don't link team records for now, nor is it probably 
very
helpful to do so. Next big step is a more flexible way of combining player 
results
from disparate sources, or at least across QBSQL tournaments.
