multipliers

1) Multiplier Options, i can enable or disable this feature but if i disable this, it
still shows the footboll icons (toggle your multiplier)
Can i hide these icons on my users guess page, its still visable when i disable this feature ?

That’s not supposed to happen. If you disable the multiplier option, then the icon should not show. Do you perhaps have an extension enabled that overwrites the prediction table? Or some kind of caching that needs to be cleared first?
If we can’t figure out what is wrong, you can of course also hide the icons via CSS, but I’d really like to know if this is a bug or not.

And if its disable and i still click on the icon, it says available multiplier already used, and when i want to leave the webpage in chrome it ask if i want to save my changes ? but i didnt make any changes beacause the feature was not activated.

I have some code that tries to check if there are any unsaved changes. Could be helpful for people with slow connections that didn’t wait for an AJAX save to complete. But if I hear more complaints that this is causing false warnings, then I can also disable it with an option, or remove it entirely.

How does this works if i have ie 6 round in my pool at the beginning and i set the
The number of multipliers a user can use to 4 but then later on in the middle of a pool i want to add 10 more rounds to the same pool, how will that effect the users that have already used their 4 score multipliers or only used ie 3 of them and then i add 10 mores rounds + instead of 4 multiplayers guess i change that number to 8 ?

The code will simply check how many multipliers a user has used compared to how many there are available. But there is a difference in the setting: per pool or per match type. So, in your example and with the setting “per pool”, the users that have used 4 will get 4 extra and the users that have used 3 will get 5 extra.

But if you group your matches in match types (the first six rounds in match type 1 and the next 10 rounds in match type 2) and set the setting to “per match type” and the amount to 4, then all users get 4 for the last 10 rounds. Also the ones that only used 3 multipliers in the previous match type.

3) last question, is there any way a user can see how many multipliers he/she has used or has left of the giving numbers set by the admin ?

I added a %jokers_used% placeholder to the ranking table template. But that only counts the jokers that were actually activated and calculated in the ranking. It doesn’t take into account the jokers that were set on future matches (that a user can still change or remove). It will not tell you how many you have left (you will need to do that simple math yourself).

The parameter is already added as a CSS class (e.g. “jokers-used-0” or “jokers-used-2”) to the table row of the ranking table. If you know some CSS you can use this to display something for every user. If you want to do something else with this value, you can also extend the ranking template and include the parameter somewhere else. This post has a basic example on how to do that.

Update regarding 2: I’ve added this as an option to the plugin for the next release. You can disable the check if you don’t like it.

No, try not to change any of the files in the plugin itself because any changes that you do will be overwritten with every plugin upgrade. My advice is to only use plugin files to find any filters that you want to use in an extension, or to copy pieces of code that you want to use as a basis for own extensions.

If you want to change the template, then simply use this example as a start.

Okay, I’m a bit lost now 🙂
When you said

Is this the file i have to edit to show how many jokers that was activated + used by each users ?

I was thinking that you wanted to show the amount of used jokers in the ranking table. And therefore I advised to take the ranking template extension as a basis. But in your previous post you are talking about shortcodes. Those two principles do not match. It is either showing the value in the ranking for all users, or using a shortcode that will show the value for one user (or we should think of the shortcode as one that generates a list of users with their used jokers, that’s also possible).

Anyway, I do not have such a shortcode on my to-do list, so don’t expect to create one in the near future.

If creating something in PHP yourself is a bit out of your league, then you can also try fiddling around with some CSS as I suggested earlier. See below code as a simple example of what you can do:

/* jokers-used visualizer */
tr.jokers-used-0 td.user-name:after {
	content: " (0 multipliers used)";
	font-size: 60%;
}
tr.jokers-used-1 td.user-name:after {
	content: " (1 multiplier used)";
	font-size: 60%;
}
tr.jokers-used-2 td.user-name:after {
	content: " (2 multipliers used)";
	font-size: 60%;
}
/* etc etc etc */

Instead of adding content, you can of course also add background images and have them repeat for every multiplier used. Etc. Etc. Your own creativity is the limit. Just remember that with CSS you’ll have to define a class rule for every amount of multipliers that can be used.
