Madden Career Toolkit 1.3 Release Notes

Due to tweaks in the player import code, it's highly recommended that you empty your database (or do an uninstall) after installing 1.3

Additions

• League Records have been added to records.php I'm hoping to add more records in future versions.
• Team Scouting Report added to scout.php Pretty basic right now, but I intend to make it more robust in the future
• standings.php now includes the ability to view All-Time Standings which ranks each individual season for every team.
• rookies.php now includes the ability to view rookies by team.
• prospects.php now includes the ability to view prospects by team.
• getPlayerLink() function added. Makes it simple to have player names link to player cards in your writeups.
• getTeamLink() function added. Same deal.

Tweaks

• The name matching code wasn't doing it's job quite the way I expected it was. It's been rewritten and the accuracy should be noticably higher now. I'm confident MADCAT's ability to match names is now as good as it can realistically be. (unfortunately, the new code is actually worse at dealing with teams that have two identically named players. I intend to add a better player editor that will help deal with these rare occurrences)
• standings.php now includes links to every season in the database, as well as the All-Time Standings mentioned above.
• The SQL queries for pulling stats for the player cards have been completely rewritten. Right now, everything looks the same in the browser, but these modifications are paving the way for easier addition of career-based features.
• The One Touch Update button was labelled "Upload", which was misleading. It's been relabelled "Import".

Bugs Fixed

• In the cap page, cap rooms of less than 1 million dollars were getting displayed incorrectly
• Manually renaming a player did not fix import issues (see tweaks). (thanks, Mardagg!)
• Player pages were showing the oldest salary amount instead of the newest
• Teams with a "-" as their second character would break. (thanks Redwolf!)
• Mozilla had display issues in gamecenter.php, as described here (thanks, DaveQB!)
• Documentation for using One Touch Update was incomplete (thanks, Raistlin!)
