Wanted to submit a request about play-by-play: Since the play-by-play does not travel with the game file, would there be a more efficient way of generating the play-by-play so that it could be combined into one HTML file, rather than having to generate and rename two (or more) HTML files?
I think you are referring to the fact that we break out play-by-play report into quarters, each is a seperate HTML file. There is currently no single report that has all play-by-play data on a single page.
If we also provided a full Play-by-play report, will that be sufficient?
In the long term we are working on ways to bring the play-by-play along with the exported game. We understand the need to retain the play-by-play, but have some liimitations with the way the way DakStats is currently handling the play-by-play info. We look forward to being able to transfer the play-by-play info in the future.
Please forgive my wording in the prior post. The intended meaning was that we print our play-by-play report by period. I said "quarter". We understand and account for the difference between high school, NBA and game formats.
The option for 1st half and 2nd half play-by-play reports are already available. As Mike mentioned, a single full game report will be quite helpful. We should be able to have this available in the update this season.
You can generate an export an XML file that has all the statistical data and play by play data. But, unless you write an XSLT stylesheet for the file it won't help much for displaying for fans on websites. The XML file is really used as a data file to import/export between computers.
I think perhaps until things are figured out to export the play-by-play, an easy solution to what seems to be a pretty consistent question is simple.
We need a report that combines the boxscore with the play-by-play file (all in one). This would eliminate the need to save three seperate files, ie 1st half pbp, 2nd half pbp and boxscore.
This is pretty much what statcrew offers I believe.
Any thoughts.
Josh

I am trying to export a play-by-play XML. This thread says there is a way to do this, but I am unable to make this work. Could you please give me directions?
