Unfortunately, we don't have any video from the events 703 competed at. Sorry :(. Hopefully we'll get some from events this year.

Regarding the code errors, can you be more specific? Copy and paste the extra code, attach a screen short, or send a hyperlink? I can figure out why it's not working so we can fix it for the future.

Thanks!

Thats very odd, you used to have them for our matches at the 2007 Nationals, in fact I still have some of them that I downloaded from TBA onto my PC. What happened? Someone loose them? :yikes:

Anyways, heres what I got in terms of weird code:



Also, on our forum it seemed to cut off everything after it on the page including further posts.




Oh, and on a few totally unrelated notes:

1. TBA doesn't list our team as having competed in the finals at IRI. Yet we were the second team picked (out of the 4 team alliance) and played in every match the alliance played. Just thought I'd point that out.

2. Is there some glitch with the badge generator? I try to use the linking code it gives me but the image never appears and if I follow the images url it instead just redirects me to the main TBA page. :confused:

try changing the last 2 characters to the iframe from:
to:
that fixed cutting the rest of the page off on my site

237 has implemented it here. Good job TBA!

Re: Test new TBA feature
 

The Blue Alliance System does not currently support matches with four teams per alliance, as the IRI Finals were run. If FIRST changes the official alliance system, this may be updated, but for now it is a back-burner problem.

Yes, you found a problem. The link doesn't know what to do if you do not enter colors into the color fields. I will add javascript validation. In the mean time, enter a color (even if just 000000 or FFFFFF) to circumvent this issue.

I will change the code to reflect this more compatible method. Thanks. Since I can't edit my old post any more:

How to add to your team's site!

To add it to your site, add the following code to your site where you want it to appear:

This is a great feature. I'll be sure to add it to the new Robowrangler site coming up.

I would give credit next time you do that..

Re: Test new TBA feature
 

Really slick feature that many of us can include on our sites. But one question... How to we ADD to the video archives on TBA? I have most of the Davis-Sacramento matches from last year - I posted them to SOAP, but they couldn't keep them. Where does TBA keep them? Youtube?

Re: Test new TBA feature
 

We keep them on our own servers. I will PM you and we can get in contact and you can upload them to us so they will be available in our system :)

Thanks!

Team 2207 has implemeted this feature on our website at http://www.whitebearlakerobotics.com, it is our 2007 video section.

This is an awesome feature TBA.

I don't know why the XML tag shorthand was used, especially considering that iframes have been depreated, and the whole rest of the tag isn't valid XML anyways.

You MUST (rfc 2119) encode attributes with their entitles. This means replace the & with & as shown:
This holds for both HTML and XML.

Teams use the XHTML format, team 237 for example, with invalid XML. The only reason no XML error parser errors show up is because browsers will not use an XML parser unless application/xhtml+xml is sent in the Content-type header (sending documents as text/html will make browsers use the standards mode SGML parser). Don't get me wrong, XHTML is great, I use an XSL parser to make edits to my teams website, you can't do that with plain old HTML :)

Iframes are really hackish, it would be much better to create a custom flash player that will grab the team list, instead of coding it in HTML loaded from an iframe, or link to the list of videos otherwise.
