Game day thread

[SwingingFriar]

Okay, I wrote a little PHP script that'll generate the codes for the game day thread similar to what A's Baby Girl did in the Athletics forum. Give it a try and lemme know what you guys think

Fill in as much information as you can and click on 'Go' and then do a copy-n-paste the result into your post.

I like it...except the only issue is the line ups are never really available till gametime, so i'd have to go back and fill that in afterwards when the game starts.

I'll make the change in which if there's noone in the line up, the VB codes for it won't be generated. Another thing that I didn't do is to add in an input box so that people can enter the URL to the pitchers' images.

ah, that sounds great. I just asked about the pitchers' pictures, but you just answered that.

Although, in regards to the line ups, is there a way you can make it to where adding it is an available option that can be turned on or off or whatever, that way if I do get the line up I can put it?

Or maybe you can just make two of these, one with the line ups and one without?

I think there's a bug in vBulletin in which the LEFT and RIGHT alignment cause things to be one line off

I'll modify the script so that it detect whether the lineup is present or not

Thanks! Okay, I made the change in which if the 1st base player is not present for either team (I'm too lazy to check if all other positions are empty ), no code for the lineup will be generated.
