The pressure is on I guess!
I suppose I can't put stuff designed in the new editor on from the old tool. So... better make publishing races ready fast! (For Gipfel of course, makes no sense to teach an ape new tricks he'll hardly need.)
Moderators: systemmods, Calendarmods
The pressure is on I guess!
It's pretty straightforward, one button ("publish" or something similar) to click, data is copied from one place to the other in the database. The actual work (setting dates, times, putting profiles to tours, etc) is done beforehand in the race editor. I'll try to implement it on the weekend.
The problem I see with that really is fantasy races? But maybe I still don't get the whole process.Alkworld wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 7:59 pmIt's pretty straightforward, one button ("publish" or something similar) to click, data is copied from one place to the other in the database.

I (Alive And Dead) will now coordinate the fantasy calendar, at least during the season. Just a small overview on the workflow how I would like it to be.
Profile Editor
1) Design your race and tag it as OneDayFantasy, as long as it has the Design status, it is seen as not finished
2) Change the status to Review if you are finished designing. It is now in the review process, which on one day fantasy races is just a quick look at the profile (check for pave bug and appearance of climbs etc). The profil can just be ridden if it is approved by one of the Calendar admins. Real races can be discussed in the corresponding Calendar Coordination topic, see viewtopic.php?f=13&t=9433&p=116453#p116453 for the new Paris-Camembert, Brabant design.
Race Editor
3) Don't wait for the admin to approve it, create the race when you are ready with creating the profile. Here you can select the real name of the race as it appears in the Profile title and also Palmares. You can give a description, specify the number of riders and chose category 1 for fantasy one day races. At Bonification you can select if it is a flat, hilly, mountain race or an individual or team time trial. Now copy the ProfileCode from the Profile Editor and select a min tact (Please use an even number). Ignore the Race Editions (and date) and save the race.
Once the race appears in the Race Editor, I will review it, approve the profile and select a date when it is ridden.
Status Quo
With the switch to the in-game editor, there is a transition time, where not a lot of new profiles are available, and the workflow is not known by every designer. I see many profiles by Tukhtahuaev, Schnuggeritos, Schappy, r TAKA, Laugenspitze, FSG Sattelpuper that are still in the Design stage and some that are in the Review stage but not appear in the Race Editor. It is planned that you create the races yourself, because of the specifications to be made there (number of riders, min tact) but in the transition phase, I will create races myself with your designs that are in the Review stage.
I am a designer and already designed some races, what should I do now?
1) If you have finished profiles in the Design status, open it, recheck and hit the green Start Review button.
2) Go to the Race Editor and create a race with your profil that is in the Review stage
It was an error from my side. Usually I check this when putting stuff online and you are totally right -> it was a clearly designed for the off season. But I just saw the error today.
I am happy about the seperation of Profil and Race as it is right now for several reasons:cataracs wrote: ↑Mon Aug 07, 2023 11:33 pmJust used the new editor for a day or so, and I think it's decent in general. But here are the changes I think I'd need as a designer.
Leave the race editor section for the admins, we designers just need the profile editor section. Race creation should be the admin job.
In the profile editor, make the "profile code" and the "name" possible to edit.
Add the mintact, the race type (flat, hilly..ect) to the profile editor section.
And that's pretty much it I think, "Event" and the rest of things should be dealt with by the admin.
I created a fantasy race that i intended for the offseason and put the date for the race in november, maybe some tag system would help so races could be tagged for inseason/offseasonflockmastoR wrote: ↑Tue Aug 08, 2023 11:45 am
2) Actuality: When the designer creates the race in the Race Editor it automatically gets attributed the current date and I see immediately if new races are added to the database. When I want to check in the Profile Editor for new stuff, there is all those test profiles, fantasy tour stages and a lot of profiles in the design status + there is just that "last updated" row that is kind of mixing all of those. I just need ready-to-publish fantasy one day races.

True, see my answer from 24th of July.lennylenny wrote: ↑Tue Aug 08, 2023 11:50 amI created a fantasy race that i intended for the offseason and put the date for the race in november, maybe some tag system would help so races could be tagged for inseason/offseasonflockmastoR wrote: ↑Tue Aug 08, 2023 11:45 am

It is a temporary problem only, which will solve itself as more and more races are moved from the old server to the new server. It happens as the old profile is copied over from the old server to the new server. And then it solves itself once the old profile is re-used (because 2022 and 2023 are same route) or the old profile gets removed from the new server again (because 2023 is a new route).
Most of it. Yes. Good feedback and there is even more on the to do list just for the editor.
