[FRC Megaphone] Text Notifications/Automated Tweets for Robotics

[cgmv123]

Here are my versions that include all alliance members:

Team #TN# won Match #MN# on the #AC# Alliance, (w/ #A1# and #A2#) vs. #O1#, #O2# and #O3# | #WS# to #LS# #omgrobots

Team #TN# lost Match #MN# on the #AC# Alliance (w/ #A1# and #A2#), vs. #O1#, #O2#, and #O3# | #WS# to #LS# #omgrobots

Team #TN# tied in Match #MN# on the #AC# Alliance (w/ #A1# and #A2#) vs. #O1#, #O2# and #O3# | #WS# to #LS# #omgrobots

I stuck our event hashtag at the end, which is why these come up significantly shorter than 140 characters. You could include opposing color if you don't want your event hashtag.

If anyone sees any issues today, let me know! I'm not sure I'll be able to get to them RIGHT away, but they'll get fixed. Feel free to post here, DM me, or for the fastest response, tweet me @FRCMega

I haven't been able to get any response from Megaphone. I also know of a few others that are having issues as well. Anyone else having them?

Zach just posted on twitter that he was aware of the issue and was trying to fix it.

[Andrew Schreiber]

Update from Zach:


There are some issues, unfortunately he is occupied volunteering at the moment and will be debugging around lunch or at the end of the day. He's sorry for the issues.

[Zach O]

Wow. Of ALL the issues...

I forgot to follow @FRCFMS to get updates. Functionality on Miner and Megaphone should be back to normal :S

I don't quite understand how this is related to being unable to add a second team. I am currently signed up to receive text updates about 25, but would also like to get updates about 103, but there's no way to do this currently. Is this something that will be possible in the future?

[Greg Marra]

I opened an issue to track adding links to TBA

There is... click the giant blue "New Notification" button on the index page. You can add text messages for as many teams as you'd like. I think I'm signed up for about 10 different teams currently.

Wooooow. I totally missed that. My bad.

Mine won't let me add more teams to my notifications. I have 6 teams and it will let me remove notifications from a team but not add anymore.

Whoops! This is a confirmed issue. Looks like I broke something in my latest update... I'm reverting the site back to a previous state for now, and I'll get it fixed.

Edit: Found the issue pretty quickly. I apologize. It should be working!

[EricLeifermann]

I haven't received a single update this weekend.

Also it seems that some teams I'm following have their comps wrong. As an example 217 played this weekend at TC but on your site it says they play week 3.

The FMS at Traverse City stopped posting updates after lunch on Friday. Megaphone works on the Twitter FMS. The only way I know a team played a match is when the FMS tweets and tells me they just played a match. If Traverse doesn't post match results, there's nothing I can do.

As for your wrong comps issue, Megaphone will only show you events that haven't already finished. There's no need for you to add a Week 1 event that has already finished. So it doesn't get displayed. 217 played in week 1 at Traverse City, but Traverse City is done, so you won't see it on the site, and Traverse City didn't post updates, so you won't see anything on your phone.

There's not much I can do to fix the FMS not tweeting data. Sorry. Maybe I'll look in to writing a failsafe this week.

This thing is flipping amazing. Thank's so much for making this.

Is there any way to add multiple phone numbers to an account so that I can spam my whole family / friends from one account? Or do they have to make accounts.
