Rounds with sessions on different days now do appear on multiple days in the calendar (as a single entry).

EDIT: Moved posts about the text wrap issue to a bug report thread.

Some updates:

Main page of website:

Removed text "Discover the realism of racing simulation..."
Updated events today on main page (using new calendar info)

Leagues:

FIX: Stream start time was not stored when first adding a round
Stream start time is now shown on round and season pages

Calendar:

Changed section name to Events rather than Leagues
Default page in Events section is now Calendar
Limited height of images (for taller aspect ratio images)
Replaced (some) links in description text with [link] to reduce length


Still to do:

Make calendar show current week as the top line by default

EDIT: Is it true that there is no way to DELETE a round of a series?

Yes - only option is just to edit it. Luckily I never needed such option,but who knows - maybe some day someone might need to correct an error.

One more question, on cleaning up the website...

Does anyone still use IRC?
I could remove the section from this page: https://www.lfs.net/links

I've just joined and there still seems to be a few people chatting.

Small bug happened very recently with Upcoming Events section in LFS Entry Screen: you can see that on front page and Events-page, that the first event today will be this: https://www.lfs.net/leagues/412/season/1196/round/4942

However, while it did appear yesterday on LFS Entry screen in the Upcoming Events section, indicating that it will start tomorrow (today), it has today vanished from LFS entry screen. Instead the second round of that season (when you scroll down), is shown, even thought that first round is supposed to continue today.

First session of that round was held two days ago (while other sessions will be held today), and during yesterday it did show up properly. It's only today where that problem has shown up.

Thanks, the in-game entry screen only showed events whose first round was less than 36 hours ago. This allowed for 24 hour races and two-day events, but not three-day events.

I've increased that limit to 3 days instead of 36 hours, so the second part of your multi day round of one of your concurrent series now appears in the in-game calendar.


EDIT: Also added the option to delete a round. At the bottom of 'edit round' page (like deleting a season).

I've now made the calendar default to a weekly view, in which only one week is shown and you can click back and forward through the weeks.

That's more useful when you want to find out what's on this week. You can also switch to monthly view as before.

Would it be possible to adjust for timezone, so that I can see when an event is in GMT+1 for example, it would improve ease of use a lot.

Edit: unless it's already implemented, I'm to lazy to look

I believe that the event times displayed should already be in your local timezone.

I hope all the time zone stuff works properly, it's always confusing to implement and made my day's task a lot harder. Especially when we are dealing with things displayed near day and month boundaries, and must be placed and displayed in the correct day slot, and the viewer can be in any time zone, at any time, and select any month or week to view.

I'd obviously like to know if there are any errors with time zones.

A simple test is if someone could compare the in-game event browser with the website calendar and make sure it looks correct. Hovering over the event time should show the UTC time, in case that is useful.

One test I should do is set my timezone to somewhere far from UTC and confirm that some events fall into a different day or month on the calendar because of the time zone of the observer. But I'm a bit tired now, probably will test tomorrow.

I don't plan to do any more on this stuff for now except for any fixes. Really it was some holiday work but has gone on 4 extra days and we all know what I really have to work on now.

I hope the calendar and league section improvements are helpful.

I found one problem. When you are editing details of a round, it will automatically think that track for all sessions of this round will be BL1. Thing is that if you don't notice that and you update your round after, let's say, uploading a thumbnail of that round, it will also change your track to BL1 in all sessions used in that round.

This shouldn't happen when editing an already existing round, especially when all those other details of that round don't change when you start editing that round.

Thanks, I can reproduce that and will check it out tomorrow. I didn't realise the leagues system had quite a few bugs in it! Apparently in this case it prepares that list of tracks but doesn't specify which one is selected, so that information is lost when you submit the form.
