Re: FIRST Team Search on FIRSTTopsite.com
 

So when I search for 2...is team 2 supposed to show up? cause I'm getting 395 & 1593...which don't have twos in 'em :eek:

Thanks for the FIRSTWiki hint...:goes to add that into the arrays: :yikes:

Team 2, doesn't have a website... so it's not going to show up. The other entries you found have a "2" in the name.

i like the fact that Pats search includes all the info about the team. not just the name and url. the information can be helpful to scouting teams and the like. i also think that it would be cool if all teams with out websites were listed in the search too. just a thought though.

Yes, details can be added later... :)

Re: FIRST Team Search on FIRSTTopsite.com
 

Well, whatever - if you want to link to my search that's fine. :)

My search also does a lot of error checking and stuff to make sure you don't give it BS data. Soon awards are going to be searchable also. :D

I have a feeling this is going to turn into a competition… “Who has a better search engine?” :D

My latest update: http://firsttopsite.com/teamdatabase/search.php

Re: FIRST Team Search on FIRSTTopsite.com
 

lol, nah...they're different - mine is meant to search for anything ever to do with a team, and yours is more specific... :)

It looks good now, I like the layout! ;) Only comment I have is when linking to other websites add a target="_blank" so it opens in a new window. :)

Anyway, it looks good - I'm gonna add some stuff to it when i get a chance, I'll send you an email when its done if you want.

A great thing to add would be a php file that will search through usfirst.org and compile a new team_file.php for you. Like a update.php file!

Re: FIRST Team Search on FIRSTTopsite.com
 

LOL, how do you think I did it the first time? ;) No way I did that by hand... :)

Just to play english major, "special" is spelled incorrectly on the page that you linked to...

Re: FIRST Team Search on FIRSTTopsite.com
 

details, details... :D I'll change it later... lol

What I meant was, "if you could add that file to the package."

Re: FIRST Team Search on FIRSTTopsite.com
 

That's why I have a file that you can download seperatly - the "Team Information Only" file.

I'm not going to release the file for a bunch of reasons. First of all it takes like 2 hours to run through (exaggeration, but seriously like 30 - 45 minutes depending on how fast usfirst.org responds and how fast my server responds (though I usually run it off Apache2 running on my home computer so that's a quick response)). Second, it opens 1708 pages on the FIRST server, that's a lot of their bandwidth to be using. Third there's no point - if you want the updated version download them from our site.

Also I made a quick search option which'll be available soon like your idea to make it so that they can just use my search instead of having people download the files. :)

What'd I tell you about details yesterday? It's the most important part! ;) :p
