Box Score Question

Post by Paul » Tue Apr 06, 2010 12:05 pm

Hello there again. So, I exported my game to the admin site, looked at the newspaper box, and was going to go into the play-by-play of the game and copy and paste them onto a website. It lost all the formatting and was unreadable (it being the box score). I was just going to link to it, but you would need my password and all that, so how do I get the newspaper style box score out to the masses? Thanks in advance!!

Linking to the Admin Website should not be done - it is intended for the Administrator only (it is not optimized for the masses). You should be able to copy / paste, and republish the data any way you like - it just requires that the programs you use support copy/paste of HTML.

To confirm, we just opened the Admin Website on a Windows machine in Internet Explorer, highlighted the box score, pressed CTRL-C (to copy), went to Microsoft Word 2007 (may work on older versions too, not sure), and pressed CTRL-V (to paste). Looks perfect - kept all the formatting intact.

We would expect the same would be true for Microsoft Word on Apple.

The way FTM has set up box score and play by play, on both the admin and team web sites, works great for Copy and paste into word processing programs (works on both platforms mac and PC with standard work processing programs (eg word, pages and open office for example)

It would be nice if the box score and play-by-play could be emailed out via pdf along with the scoresheet.

We will consider adding it to the device for a future release as well. You can always to a "print as PDF" from the website (lots of free programs available to do this), and email that if you would like. We realize it is an extra step, but is an option. Thank you.

Depending on your choice of browser, there usually is a "save page as" option. From your play by play page in stead of copy/paste try saving the page source as a .htm file. You should then be able to use this file on your website or open in word.

I use PDFCreator for when I do football stats and need to e-mail them because they are very format intensive. It basically just creates another printer option for you, then asks you where you want to save it. Here's the website if you need it:
