admin's blog
I removed a block on the left side that did display competition results. It wasn't really worth much, and was incoherent based on a more studied approach to data structures (mixing competition with competition event) Also, I revamped the upcoming competitions block. It is now simply a "competitions" block, which displays a reverse chronological listing of all competitions. This seems to be a simpler approach. The content of competition schedules and skaters is now set to display only for users that are authenticated (logged in). |

So I have now built a view that was less trivial than I had hoped to display a list of non-duplicated entries, each being the name of a skater who participated in a selected competition. |

Spent quite a few more hours than I wanted to on trying to make coherent the data structures for skater competitions. To some degree, I was able to get the data model correct I think. But working the input logic and display has been an utter and total nightmare. This is not about new year's resolutions. It was about this nagging feeling that I needed to make this website serve a higher purpose. In making the data structures more coherent, I would master some subtledies in the Drupal system. Unfortunately, my mission was not accomplished. So far. |
