-- What teams were there (or will be there)?
-- Who won what awards there?
-- Other stats based on all this data.

I got a tiny bit of aligned free time and motivation tonight, so I worked on some of the CD-Events features I talked about above.

You can go and mark your attendance at past and future events. You can also see what teams attended an event, as well. The team attendance data is just random stuff I put in when testing, so if your team isn't listed, please wait until I ask for corrections until you start reporting it.

The layout and everything else WILL change (a little), so don't freak out if you don't like how something looks or if it's missing data, etc.

As always, report any comments, suggestions, or problems you may experience.

Maybe since

could we possibly get a link to the events official site?

That falls under the missing data clause of: "don't freak out if you don't like how something looks or if it's missing data, etc."

It's far from complete.

.. and if you do, they'll show up under your signature -- look below, and you can see I'm going to the IRI.

There is an option in your usercp to turn them off if you don't care to see where people are attending.

This may move .. but right now, that seemed like a good place. It'll only show the future events .. and 150 characters of them (then it chops them).

As always .. suggestions, improvements, etc.

Awesome! Thanks Brandon!
I just have to say that I love the "not quite yet" pop-up!

[Rohith Surampudi]

Hooray for Brandon who works incredibly ast seeing as this took him about 20 minutes to do...Yay, this is actually really cool

[Greg Marra]

Umm, are unable to see our own 'attendings' because mine don't appear for me.

[Mike AA]

EDIT: Duh, ok just click the "change it" next to you weren't there. But now nothing is showing, unless it only showes if you're attending something up yet. Doesn't say anything about I attended. /EDIT

I must have missed something reading in here, but how do you add your name to addtending an event, or the event to your name?

You see other people's but not your own?

Yeah, this will only show future events that you are planning on attending.

It has since appeared. Maybe it just took a bit to propogate or something?

[Brandon Martus]

OH! Duh. I forgot to mention that the text that shows updates hourly*, so I don't have to look up and generate it on the fly .. causing unnecessary load on the thread viewing pages.

Eventually, I'll probably have it update per-user when you click 'change it' and add/remove yourself from an event.

* It updates on the 38 minute mark. (Hey, you can only do so much on the 47 minute mark .. )


EDIT: It updates on the fly now, as you change your attendance.

Wow I just saw for the first time my signature with this whole attending stuff - I have to say I'm pretty excited (you rock my rox brandon martus)
I've got a question though - When you click on the attending link it takes you to the CD Events page... is it possible/likely/in the works to have it direct to the specific event?

Yes, those will be links to the events. I think I'll do that now, actually.

When I click on certain off-season events that I might attend and want to add my name to the list, the list seems to load too slow. I always received "Loading..." and nothing changes.

Only the Championship Event list allow me to include my name for some reason.

Just wanted to let you know. Enjoy the new section.
