What is this
**************************

F1 fantasy league if just like the fantasy you see on ITV
users will choose there constructors drivers and team
they will also choose the order they will finish in 1st 2nd 3rd

This system does not auto update all info the admin would have to enter in them selfs.

This is a beta version and plan to have a full release of this for the next season.

Please make a backup of your database before installing any new mod.

This has been tested and is working as it should be for this release.

This looks like a great mod so time to fire up the test server and start playing

Couple of questions:

1. I would like to run a MotoGP fantasy league, as the MotoGP structure is very similar to F1 (i.e. constructors, riders, points etc) would it be feasible to rephrase the mod to use MotoGP terms?
2. Is it possible to run multiple fantasy leagues? It would be great if I could run a MotoGP and an F1 fantasy league at the same time on the same site.
3. If somebody signs up mid season, do they get allocated points from previous races?
4. How does the mod handle season to season driver/constructor changes. For example, if Coulthard is retiring at the end of this season so he will go and a new driver will come in, so if somebody is looking through old races/seasons will Coulthard still be there if he has been removed from the existing season.
5. Is there anything to handle temporary drivers? For example if De La Rosa stands in for Hamilton at a race what would happen if he won?

EDIT: Installed on test server and all seems to be working as expected, a couple of questions/suggestions:

1. After you signup you are told to go visit the "F1 Team Manager" where is the link for this?
2. On signup the mod asks for a firstname/lastname this seems to be used on the Leaderboard, can this be changed in the templates without breaking the mod?
3. It would be useful if on the "View Race Info" ACP page it showed which results points have been awarded or maybe disable the "Award Points" link

EDIT : A couple of phrase "bugs":

On resign page:

"Many thanks for being a member of are league, And all the best to you."

Should be:

"Many thanks for being a member of our league, and all the best to you."

On signup page (if the user has already signed up):

"If you need to make changes to your chooses then goto F1 Team manager."

should be:

"If you need to make changes to your choices then goto F1 Team manager."

On the "Race Top 3" & "Constructors" boxes on the left:

Winner, Second, 3rd

Should really be:

Winner, Second, Third

EDIT: Couple of other bugs:

When deleting race results you get the following phrase error:

"Could not find phrase 'mmfantasyleague_raceinfo_deleted'."

The constructor image for BMW Sauber points to:

"/forums/images/mmfantasyleague/constructors/bmwSauber.gif"

it should be

"/images/mmfantasyleague/constructors/bmwSauber.gif"

I would like to run a MotoGP fantasy league, as the MotoGP structure is very similar to F1 (i.e. constructors, riders, points etc) would it be feasible to rephrase the mod to use MotoGP terms?

Yes this could be used for the motoGP if it works the same way.

You can make a copy of this script and rename the info so it would work for you and rename the database tables.

Is it possible to run multiple fantasy leagues? It would be great if I could run a MotoGP and an F1 fantasy league at the same time on the same site.

Yes this can be done if you do what i put in the the top reply

1. If somebody signs up mid season, do they get allocated points from previous races?

No they would not they would only get the points from when they signed up.

How does the mod handle season to season driver/constructor changes. For example, if Coulthard is retiring at the end of this season so he will go and a new driver will come in, so if somebody is looking through old races/seasons will Coulthard still be there if he has been removed from the existing season.

At this time this can only run 1 season at a time but plans to have multi seasons

Is there anything to handle temporary drivers? For example if De La Rosa stands in for Hamilton at a race what would happen if he won?

Not at this time no

After you signup you are told to go visit the "F1 Team Manager" where is the link for this?

This has not been added just yet but wanted to get a working version of this out to see if there was intrest.

On signup the mod asks for a firstname/lastname this seems to be used on the Leaderboard, can this be changed in the templates without breaking the mod?

You can change this to anything like a username or players name anything you want.

It would be useful if on the "View Race Info" ACP page it showed which results points have been awarded or maybe disable the "Award Points" link

Thats a good idea so when its been run it would not let you award these points again.

A couple of phrase "bugs":

These have been noted and will be changed

Couple of other bugs:

These will be fixed soon

Thankyou for this info i will sort some of this out and post a new update within a week as im in the prosess of moving.

No problem I am more than happy to help out with what looks like one of the best mods I have seen.

Good luck with the move, I have first hand and recent experience of what a PITA moves can be

[Stifmeister2]

I'm interested in this mod, although I don't want to start now that only 3 races are remaining.

I'll wait for the full release for next season. The mod is looking good!

you will have to add a link in to point to this file
mmfantasyleague.php

so your link will look something like this
http://www.yoursite.com/yourforum/mmfantasyleague.php

This is not an error you can add this yourself

goto Languages & Phrases and click on Phrase Manager
then click add new phrase

Phrase Type ---- error messages
Product -------- mmfanticyleague
Varname -------- mmfantasyleague_cp_redirect
Text ------------ Settings Updated

That will remove that missing phrase message
