dev diary #13 - Interface: Requesting Teams and Depth Charts

[TuscanSota]

Hey everyone,

 

TuscanSota here for this week's dev diary.

 

I'm going to keep it simple but over the past weekend we were focusing on finalizing the depth chart page by allowing the user to set the starting position of their squad.

While it's difficult to show at this time (someone show me how to gif), I'm providing two screenshots below to demonstrate how the user can swap around their players.

 

 

As shown, users will have access to two buttons under the Promote header, which will swap the rows between players at a specific position, and where they are on the depth chart. As shown here, Kyle Fultz is our starting QB, with Reed Philips at 2nd string, and Vinny & Kalen on the bench.

 

Let's say that this past weekend that Vinny starting playing exceptionally well. He's making his throws, and was even giving the 1st team defense a hard time in practice. So, I decide to promote him to 1st string.

 

 

Voila. I can promise you that the data isn't hard coded, as shown here:

Relax, this is test data. There's no way Wazzu would have these talented QBs...

 

So what does this mean? This means that the depth chart page is about ready for this current release.

 

 

Which brings us to one final thing to mention: the Available Teams page is about done too. When users register & login for the first time, they will be able to read through the list of all available teams which do not yet have a coach.

 

Pick the team that you applied for here on SimFBA, and hit that request button. Once that button has been hit, you will receive the following response on your screen:

 

 

Your request is sent, and from there, the admins will approve your team. When that happens, you will be able to access your roster & the rest that the interface site has to offer.

 

 

 

What are the next steps at the moment?

Well, we still need to put up the admin page that will allow admin users to approve team requests. Once this is finished and when we've implemented a few other security features, I would like to say we would then be closer to seeing a deployment soon. I can't put it on a timetable yet, but I would like to say it would be in the near future.

 

That's all I have for now. Until next time.
