Global Unreal

This thread is essentially a public change log for all the site updates.

Updated the home, league, and tournament pages with the new design.

The home page will now detect if we're currently streaming live via twitch.tv/globalunrealtv and automatically load the stream at the top of the page.

Added a widget to the right column of the home page that automatically displays the latest recorded stream from twitch.tv/globalunrealtv.

Made it easier to sign up for leagues by putting a log in form in place of the sign up form if you aren't logged in.

Updated the leagues page ( http://www.globalunreal.com/#leagues ) to show teams and players during the league. There's still a few things missing (like pages specifically for each team) but I'll add those as soon as we have complete info for everyone. I'll also be adding better filtering and sorting.

I should also note that the leagues page is using my startup's software ( http://loggur.com ) which isn't even in the alpha phase yet (and things aren't yet optimized so they sometimes load pretty slowly), so please report any bugs to me on IRC by private message.

Added schedule and standings to the leagues page. http://www.globalunreal.com/#leagues/schedule and http://www.globalunreal.com/#leagues/standings

I'll also be adding better sorting options to everything.

Made http://www.globalunreal.com/#leagues/standings sortable.

Added a screenshots/stats functionality to http://www.globalunreal.com/#leagues/schedule. At present, admins still need to go through and add the image and stats URLs.

Now when admins add the screenshots and stats URLs to the schedule page ( http://www.globalunreal.com/#leagues/schedule ), the info (beat/split/lost to) and results (map scores) columns are automatically filled out.

And after filling everything out, the standings page ( http://www.globalunreal.com/#leagues/standings ) is automatically updated.

So captains, whenever you post your screenshots, please include the URL to the stats so admins can quickly enter them.

It took over a month, but I rearranged (and rewrote portions of) the 22,000+ lines of code behind Loggur to improve the performance of WYSIWYG auto-generated lists as seen on http://www.globalunreal.com/#leagues so it shouldn't be unbearably slow.

The filtering options (also automatically generated) now include the ability to select ranges and sort by field. You can do the following:
- Greater than; e.g., for salaries over 500 you'd enter "> 500" or for names greater than TimTim you'd enter "> timtim"
- Greater than or equal to; same as above but ">= 500"
- Less than; same as above but "< 500"
- Less than or equal to; same as above but "<= 500"
- For ranges you'd enter something like "800 - 1200" or "paco - timtim"
- Click the square at the right of any field to sort by that field, ascending or descending

For example, suppose you're looking for a free agent with at least a $600 salary and full availability, highest salaries first:


There are still some things I need to do to make everything load as quickly as possible, but it should work for now.

And I realize this functionality would have come in handy at the beginning of the season (and that I also need to update the data to match the current roster) but hey, there's only so much time in a day.

Now that this piece of the puzzle is in place, there will be many more site updates to come in the near future!
