Coding updates: News Feed, Wiki Integration, Tournament Results

Hey all,

I have some great coding updates for you. I spent the day going through and fixing and putting some scripts live that had been in limbo for a while.

1) Thanks to the efforts of M:SCL Orv, we now have a DB RSS feed! This is a great advancement for us...I'm already hooked on the live bookmarks. Thanks Orv!

2) Also thanks to Orv, we can now pull data from the DB Wikipedia and integrate it into the DB page. This saves us a hell of a lot of effort in updating multiple things. Right now, this process has been implemented on the DC page and it will soon find more uses elsewhere. I'm looking forward to when I can just update, say, a medal description on the wiki and the codex updates automatically!

3) Rax did a complete re-write of the Tournament Results page a while ago. Due to the SCL change and our new function library build, it was lost in the shuffle. I have made the changes necessary to make it live, and transferred it over tonight. This is a much better-constructed script and will let us build some cool things for the Gaming admins. One big plus: this thing will now compute the CF awards for the time period entered....Korras only has to transfer them over to the new 20-recc medal form. :)

Yay for code monkeys!

I was just made aware of the error in IE with the RSS. We're on it. Should be fixed soon.

Yay Orv! Yay Jac! And that new gaming function will save a ton of time and effort for people. Looks great

Great addons, thank you, thank you :)

Orv = awesome

Nice job Jac....the system for CF is always a on-going deal. Its just making Korras's job much easier.

kudo's

w00t! I'm psyched that stuff has gone live. Cheat Commandos, rock, rock on!

cough Ahem...A happy 12th to you, guys... crawls back into grave

OMG! A Pyr sighting!

Great work Orv & Jac... but what is a DB RSS? :-p

Orv is awesome lol

For the record, as Orv’s battle team leader I take approximately one tenth of the credit . . . . oh wait that’s agent never mind >.<
