Answered Manage Game Results on the Frontend vs Admin CP Games Management

[EasyEazy]

As per the title. Bob is it possible to allow results to be entered on the front end of the site rather than the admin panel?

Questions about whether something can be done need to be posted in the Pickem support forum, so I've moved this to support.

To answer your question, no, its not possible. All administration of Pickem is handled in the Admin CP.

Just to be safe...

To enter a result you goto the game and change the -1 to the number of goals each team got yes?

So Celtic got 7 and St.Johnstone got 0

I just change the -1 to match those numbers?

Yes, its the final score of the game/match that you enter into those inputs.

Once a game/match has completed, you edit the game/match and add the final score of the game/match. eg here are some final scores of premier soccer (which a goal is a score and you get 1 point per goal, so the final score would be the amount of goals each team scored). Each sport has its own scoring system, but ALL team sports have a final score.

Team A: 1
Team K: 4

Team G: 0
Team F: 0

Team L: 0
Team X: 3

The reason its default to -1 is that 0 is an actual score value that a team could end up with (for example, if a soccer team doesn't score any goals, that teams final score is 0). The system can not differentiate 0-0 (game has not been played yet) with 0-0 (game ended in TIE/DRAW with no points scored), so -1 is used as a way for the system to know that the game has not yet been scored and for a game/match to be able to end in a 0-0 tie/draw and be PROCESSED as a completed game.

I see this is still the case. It works but if you start a lot of different sports then you are giving a lot of people admincp access. If someone was managing something like MLB Baseball where each team has 160ish games per season then that is a pile of work to keep up with. It would literally be the only thing they do as far as administrative work.

Ideally we would be able to create a Commissioners group and give them admin rights on the front end vs admincp to create teams and sports and games. I know that is a big ask but I think that should be a long term goal for this project.

My site has a handful of people with admincp access, but at times we have had over 50 staff members to manage contests and things like that.

Here is what I mean. All of the names that are not the light brown color are staff members of some sort. Red are admins. Green are moderators, and the blues are what we call Content staff. Generally for the contests and stuff that they run they do not need admincp access. Now they do, which means setting up CloudFlare to let them in.
