OK CSV improved as requested.

If you click Get CSV on my test page you will see:

1) First row is column titles (as specified by admin)
2) The column after user name is Country

Admin should not add "Country" when setting up the signup required fields. It automatically appears in the CSV after the user name.

Current status, referring to Jonathon's original requests.
CONSIDER means I intend to look today.


1. CSV agree Nationality would be nice there.
DONE

2. CSV also headers for columns would be a nice to have.
DONE

3. Ability for admins to edit a entry manually.
CONSIDER

4. & 5. Notification to admins of any changes a drivers makes to their entry after it has been approved. Plus the ability to approve a change would be awesome!
DONE for leagues that require approval of entries
(notification sent to admins if there is a new entry or an already approved entry is edited - requires approval again)

6. Ability to temporarily close signups a certain time before a round and x time after a round completion. This may need to be a time stamp after event maybe?
[edit: DONE option to manually close and open again]

7. Ability for car number to be tracked and not used more than once
[edit: DONE duplicate numbers are shown in red, if field name is "Number"]

8. Ability to reject a signup with a reason, giving the driver a chance to correct the details rather than going through the whole signup again.
SUGGEST use signup PM system
(the signup PM works for signed up drivers even if they don't allow forum PM)

Scawen,

Thanks for these changes, I think what you've done now is a great help.

Not sure how the system is storing numbers, but also if you need any help with the code, I might be able to help with some if needed.

Manual open and close of entries is fine for now - it's no different than we've done the lsat few years on our events.

Once I've used it a bit, I'll make some notes, and save them for springtime. Keep up the great work Scawen, I appreciate all you're doing

Quote from Scawen :

Right, first thing I had to do this morning was some essential maintenance...

Its fine

There is now a manual temporary signup closure.

You can see how it looks on one of my test seasons: https://www.lfs.net/leagues/22/season/1218

(it says "Signup temporarily closed" and you can still click to see the signed up racers)

The option is activated on "Edit season" page as seen in the screenshot.

I've realised duplicate number detection is a bit complicated as it needs to retrieve quite a bit of info and search through it and present error messages to the user, preventing them submitting their updates. It's more complicated than you might expect because of the fully customisable entry fields. I might try something simpler like highlighting duplicate numbers in red, just when the page is displayed. Something to make it easier for admins without doing the full job. It might even be better that way, in case a new user selected a number that is really reserved for someone else like last year's winner, etc.

Thanks a lot for updates Scawen.

Features are looking great.

Agree, just highlighting the duplicate numbers red would be a help for us. Thanks

Duplicate numbers are now shown in red:
https://www.lfs.net/leagues/22/season/1219/signup/view

Note - this is if the field name is Number


EDIT: So apparently the only remaining thing at the moment is for admins to be able to edit entries directly. I think I can do that but not today and maybe better not do that one for a few days, and maybe you'll come up with something else more urgent.

I thought of this in the night and had to add this feature to try to solve the remaining problem with not using forum signups.

In "Edit season" you can now add an optional sign-up thread.

So in your case you would add https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/110364 (or just the thread id 110364) and then you will see a notification of new signups.

Example here: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/110369

I could add a similar notification for withdrawn/deleted signups which would obviously be easy to add now that the system is in place.

Awesome! Keeps the thread alive!

Will give that a go.

Yeah notification of withdrawn would be helpful too 👍

One more small change as I noticed the Race Green rally signup has included "Country" as a field.

I've now made "Include user's country in CSV export" an option. As you wanted that, you should switch on that option (in Edit season, just above the signup thread option).

Finally I have included withdrawals on the notification thread.

I don't plan to work on this any more today but will do so if you have any problems.

Something for the "nice to have", not needed urgently, but a way to have an example/tooltip for a field, to give an example of what we want for some fields.

Thanks for the work on it!
