Hi Sam


Not that my stats will make a lot of diffence but I'm in Sonicrealms Racing team and LFSW says i am in Sonicrealms racing but CTRA has me down as being part of ATC team still. Plaese could you change this for me.

Many thanks

The CTRA update runs 4x per day. Once you've removed yourself from ATC on LFSW, you will automatically be moved to SR with the next CTRA update.

Cheers, having read back through the posts (which i probably should have done before posting ) i realised i had never removed myself from ATC and was showing as a member in both teams on LFSW. I have now removed myself so it hopefully will be right now. Thanks again

I've just added the ability for anyone to take manual control over their team affiliation. It really should only be used if there are problems at the LFSW end, and now Victor has given us the ability to disassociate ourselves from old and defunct teams, I expect the problem will be rare or non-existent.

Importantly, if you take manual control over your team affiliation and your team leader then, in any way, changes your team's full name on LFSW, you will lose team affiliation. If this happens, simply return control to the CTRA system and you will be picked up again by your team during the next update.

i have a question, if the following could be possible:
you added the ability to manual control the team membership, that's very great. if done so, you can see your team mates in the lower left corner and you can see, if they fullfill the preconditions to be in stats. could you link the names so, that a click on it will go to the stats-page of that player ? i think so you have a very fast access to compare all the special stats of your mates ?

(just a question ; )

Good idea! I've also included a link directly to LFSW for each player too

Woot Sam, I didnt look for a couple off days. Woohoo this looks so sweat now. What a hell of job m8. Great job but that is getting usual now.

Thumbs up M8, .

But when your going to race us again ?, We havent seen you around recently. Drop the codding stuff for a day or 2 and get in some practise.

Thanks buddy! I'll be racing again one of these days, definitely!

jeah, your are such a quick guy (perhaps atm more in coding than in driving :razz

one more question: how often is my own MyCTRA team member list updated ? i got the case, that someone enters our team manually and in team stats he is in, but in my team mates list he is not listed ?

LOL! True, I'm afraid! It's the only thing I'm fast at!

Everything is done 4x per day.. the latest team stats are collected from LFSW and applied to the CTRA database, for all drivers for whom updates are automatic. Then the team stats calculations are run 1 minute later.. that works out who is in which position in the team, and which team is leading etc, taking into account any team changes that have occurred since the last LFSW update.

You tell yourself that... 7 second Sam... :hide:

is it just me, or is the "team leader" not listed on the teams.

I've just added myself as a "team member" within the team that I created. Bit silly really.

Run out of ideas for the CTRA system? You wish! Yes, I'm afraid I've been at it again.. this time, to celebrate our half a million full page impressions on the raceauthority.com website, ladies and gentlement.. TEAM BANNERS!

Increase traffic to your team's website! (a bit, mebbe?)

You can now upload a team banner at the standard web banner dimensions, 468x60px, and this will be displayed on your stats lookup page, your own MyCTRA page, and on the team lookup popup window from the Top Teams page. Note: Images will be automatically resampled to 468x60, so to ensure quality please use those dimensions whenever possible.

Anyone in the team can upload the banner for the whole team.. as soon as it's uploaded, it will show up on yours and all your teammates' lookup pages too.

If your team has provided a team website URL at LFSW, your banner will automatically link to that site from your stats lookup (not from MyCTRA though). If there is no URL stored at LFSW, the banner will link to your team's TopTeam stats instead.

A word of caution.. please don't upload inappropriate content for your banner. If an inappropriate banner is uploaded by any member of any team, the entire team will be barred from participating in the CTRA top teams competition. I very much doubt that the problem would ever arise, and that there's no reason to mention this.. but I felt it would be better to be safe than sorry

Hope you enjoy this new feature, and I hope it helps your teams' sites.

woohoooo

You are amazing these days. Have you got too much free time on your hands buddy ??
Jees Sam this is really getting normal but again Thank you Well done

Great job, have a pint

Oooh! It's Friday night I reckon I WILL have a pint!

amazing sam

but i have another request:

how about counting the lap-records in the top-drivers and
top-teams ladder???

I'll have a look at that over the next day or so. I have to psych myself up to get in there, because it's PHP and I'm allergic to it. Once I have a fresh supply of antisceptic cream, I'll go at that

Dont get it in your head to race after then

lol it may improve his driving, it cant get any worse, lol me ducks and runs

Great stuff

Maybe we should have a "drunk night" where nobody's allowed to turn up sober. We could have an entrance exam involving cones and if you can complete it without hitting one you get a 1hr ban to give you more drinking time.

hehe! That could be fun!!

+1

xD

lol that would be good

i don't know, but if i press the "upload your banner here"-link in the team-edit page i just return to my MyCTRA without any change like watching it at normal
could it be, because i add the team manually, because our "team owner" is not available atm. all members done this in that way are not listed in the "show team mates"-section. there are only the lfsw-members.

or am i just blind and don't see the upload dialog ?

btw: the team is "1st Berlin Fun Agency"

Hmm.. it shouldn't be returning you to the MyCTRA page unless the team information at LFSW is different from the information stored on your licence record. It's a small security feature I added, to make sure that people didn't change teams to upload another team's banner (or spoil someone else's banner).. so I make sure that the person uploading the file is definitely from the team they say they are.

Did you recently change teams? In the last hour or so?

[edit] It could also be because there aren't enough members of your team participating to qualify for a team. There needs to be 2 or more of you to make a team, to then qualify for a banner ad.
