Madden Career Toolkit 1.4 Release Notes

There are database changes in 1.4, so you MUST uninstall 1.3, and then install 1.4 fresh.

Additions

• You can now view team histories in teamhistory.php (you can access this information directly from team pages, as well)
• Added a League Almanac in almanac.php
• Reworked the team pages so that the front page displays injuries, prospects and rookies.
• Added ability to add relocation data to the database. For now, this is only used in the team histories (it will list a relocated team in the same table as the team it once was), but more things will make use of this data in the future
• custom_shell.php added. Simply includes the basic MADCAT template code to make it simple to add your own custom pages (coaching pages, etc.)

Tweaks

• Divided the Injury Report into conferences and divisions. It's much easier to scan for useful information now.
• Added ability to key a player bio by "FirstName_LastName.php" or "[Player id].php". Now, if you reimport your logs, your bios will stay attached to the correct player!
• Made improvements to how the subsections of the team pages are displayed (see additions, as well)
• Added average age, and rearranged the columns in the team scouting report
• In the Add "My Team" form in the admin area, the previous year's "My Team" is pre-placed in the text boxes, to save typing
• Added a RNK column to the Team Stats page.
• The "Pick a Week" and "Pick a Team" sections of schedule.php are now inside MADCAT formatted tables. This was the only section of the MADCAT site where team icons were directly on the background of the page, and I felt it was a good idea to put everything inside a table
• I went through the docs and added some small things as well as fixing some typos, etc, etc.
• I went through all of the code and made sure error messages were correct (no copy-paste errors) and cleaned up some various things
• Tweaked the uninstall routine so that it will simply drop any tables it can, and ignore those that seem to be missing
• Updated the menu in simple_template.html to contain the same items as the menu in template.php

Bugs Fixed

• In the team pages, clicking on the column sorting links in the player stats, sent the user to the team selection page. In short, the links were broken. I took them out for this version.
• The code for getting injuries would produce an error when there were no injuries. It now outputs the regular injury table, but with "No Injuries" as the only entry.

Files Modified

If you do a lot of work customizing MADCAT, these are the only files you'll need to replace with the new versions.

• All files were changed
