Web based scouting system (498-Scouting, v2)

Competition Scouting
1

My PHP-MySQL scouting system is up and upgraded this year. Many things are broken that were not last year (at the time of writing) so have patience. My goals for the scouting system have been (1) a lightweight interface that can be used on a laptop or portable browser (DS, PSP, etc browser) with minimal effort, (2) a straightforward interface that has everything where you would expect it to be, (3) quick access to things that are frequently accessed, (4) a powerful interface for running statistics and stuff. No fancy images or pretty CSS (hence I stick with the pink theme).

A running demo is at http://frcdb.redjacket.ws
Releases as I make them are at http://team498.org/scouting/files/releases/
The Git repository is at http://frcdb.redjacket.ws/scouting.git/ (You may wish to clone this over a release, since the repository does not include things like ADODB which the file release does)

To help facilitate deployment of the program on Windows machines, I compressed together lighty2go with the scouting program and database (and some data) pre-packed into a 7-Zip file available at http://team498.org/scouting/files/2go/. Simply extract the contents to a directory, run Start-Lighty2Go.exe, and visit http://localhost/ to setup the first user. It should be good enough to run and share at a regional (on 2.4Ghz wireless or Ethernet), just hand out your IP address which should be 10.* or 192.168.* . I hope to get it working with sqlite, so I can remove MySQL.

Please share any critique. If you prefer to chat I hang out at ##FRC on freenode (see my footer). Share and Enjoy.

I always wanted to make something, keeping it simple for MID browsers in ingenious! Keep up the good work, I’ll be looking forward to seeing how it comes out.

I updated the download links on http://frcdb.redjacket.ws. The bundled 2-go version should work, please bug me (PM or otherwise) if any part of it it doesn’t, or if it is confusing to set up (it should be straightforward though).

Thanks

I can not access these links. Is your website down ?

Something happened to our DNS nameserver or something, so team498.org won’t work. Everything else should work, see my last post, the up to date download links are posted at http://frcdb.redjacket.ws. <ins>Oops, I had the wrong URL posted for the “2go” version posted somehow (I thought I checked all the links), fixed that.</ins>

wifi is illegal this year at regionals/championships.

Yep, so I just turn it off this year, the two master computers I use for entering data have always been wired together anyways (they are older and do not have Wi-Fi). You could use just one computer by itself, too (the “2go” version is designed for this). It is designed to be flexible.
