Several questions |Pickem

[Betclever]

Hi @Bob

Some questions from my members:

• I know we can disable/enable comments for each pool but is it possible to enable a kind of general comment by adding a sub tab or something like this?
• I would like to use Sportbook with Pickem but I don't want to encode 2 times the same games... Is it possible to merge/import them?
• Same question for Pickem Survivor?
• Any possibility to sort stats by month?

Thanks

You can use the XenForo NOTICES system for this. You can create a Notice that only displays on Pickem (and you can create it so that it only display on a specific pick page like the leaderboard).

I would like to use Sportbook with Pickem but I don't want to encode 2 times the same games... Is it possible to merge/import them?

This would require custom development. Its not something I'd consider as a suggestion.

What STATS are you talking about?

In fact, instead of using a comment system for each pool, I would like to use only one comment system.
I also would like to add it on all pickems pages. That's what I want to centralize the comments. If this possible because I have a lot of pools...

Thx.

instead of using a comment system for each pool, I would like to use only one comment system.

Pools do not have their own comment system. Pickem itself has a Comments System. Each Pool has the option of enabling commenting within a given pool. When a comment is made, it is stored with the ID of the Pool and the ID of the Week the comment is being made in. When you are viewing the Leaderboard for a specific Pool, the X most recent Comments are fetched for that pool and the specific week that you are viewing. When you click on the Comments Tab, it fetches all comments for that pool for the week being viewed. This is VERY IMPORTANT because the comment is about the POOL and the WEEK.

The Comments System is designed for separation on purpose as it makes no sense to have comments about the Baseball Pool being displayed in an NFL Pool. Its also separated by weeks so that when viewing week 3 of the NFL pool, the comments are focused on that particular week.

What you are wanting to do is the equivalent of having ONE thread for your entire forum and that all posts go into that one thread.

You'd have to do some massive architecture redesign which would take you 100's (if not 1000's) of hours of development.

I also would like to add it on all pickems pages. That's what I want to centralize the comments. If this possible because I have a lot of pools...

You would have to rewrite then entire addon to do what you want to do and frankly, it makes no sense to me (as I explained above about having 1 thread for your entire site).

I understand your point of view but I want to centralize all comments in order to animate without having one comment in this pool or that pool...

I think, I will disable the comment system for the pools I have created and make a new forum node specifically for Pickem.
