    Thanks for the reply!
    I modified the wp-config file as you suggested but it still didn’t work.
    Then I replaced the commas with semicolons in the CSV file and finally the import was successful!

    Hi AntoineH, some news?

    I apologize for my imperfect English, I use google translator, I try to do my best 🙂

    I believe that the only correction to do is to add the goal difference even in the case of draw. Then:
    Match 1-1 and prediction 2-2 = 2 points (1 toto + 1 goal diff)
    Match 2-0 and prediction 3-1 = 2 points (1 toto + 1 goal diff)

    And continue not to add points for the goal difference for the full scores, as it has always been. Then:

    Match 1-1 and prediction 1-1 = 7 (5 full points + two times the goal bonus)
    Match 2-0 and prediction 2-0 = 7 (5 full points + two times the goal bonus)

    the examples I made them using my settings of course:
    full points: 5
    toto points: 1
    bonus goal: 1
    goal diff bonus: 1

    Everything else is perfect.

    The problem is only the following:
    using your extension, the goal difference should never be calculated when the player guesses the full result.

    Not using your extension, you have this scenario:

    Match 1-1 and prediction 2-2 = 1 point (toto 1)
    Match 2-0 and prediction 3-1 = 2 points (1 toto + 1 goal diff)

    does it seem consistent? why penalize a draw, not considering the goal difference?

    I believe that the goal difference should be calculated even in the case of draw, in the original plugin (except in the case of a full score, as already happens now).
    Once you’ve implemented this change in the original plugin, there’s no longer any need for the extension.

    with my settings:
    full points: 5
    toto points: 1
    bonus goal: 1
    goal difference bonus: 1

    we would have:

    Match 1-1 and prediction 2-2 = 2 points (toto 1 + goal diff 1)
    Match 2-0 and prediction 4-1 = 1 point (toto 1)
    Match 2-0 and prediction 3-1 = 2 points (toto 1 + goal diff 1)
    Match 2-0 and 3-0 prediction = 2 points (toto 1 + bonus goal 1)

    sorry but I do not understand where the problem is.
    Everything seems consistent to me.
    A draw match has a goal difference of 0 and if the player has predicted a draw (therefore goal difference 0) it is right to reward him exactly as if he had guessed the difference goal by betting 5-3 a match finished 8-6

    I realized now, looking at the charts updated with the new changes, that the FULL ranking is obviously distorted. To get 7 points in case of exact prediction, I decreased the value set for the FULL POINTS score from 5 to 4. But then the FULL ranking adds me 4 points and not 5 as before.
    But this is understandable, because now the goal difference is also added in case of an exact prediction.

    I await with hope for a final update 🙂

    OK thanks!
    for now I have dropped the FULL score to 4 points instead of 5, so as to always reach 7 points in the final calculation.
    So now setting FULL = 4 actually counts me 5.
    This is transparent to the user, only I am an administrator are aware of the escamotage.
    I hope you implement this extension within the main plugin, also because I can not find meaning in counting without the extension. Why should draws be penalized?

    however I think it is so obvious not to consider the goal difference in the case of a full score obtained with a draw, just as it happens in all other cases of full points. It can not be otherwise! 🙂

    Thread Starter psike64

    full points: 5
    toto points: 1
    goal bonus: 1
    goal difference bonus: 1

    I imagine that probably this very useful and fundamental plugin (of course it is my assessment) has never been seriously considered. But I’m sure that, once you’ve done your tests, you’ll understand the motivations of my request. 🙂

    thank you so much for your time!

    so, is not it possible to do anything for this aspect of the game?
    it would be enough to add a check in the plugin that, in case of full score, does not have to add the points of the goal difference.

    Thread Starter psike64

    (@psike64)

    yes AntoineH, the calculations are correct. But the problem is another:
    It is not logical to get one more point if the odds are a draw rather than another result that is not a draw.

    I’ll explain:
    if my prediction is 2-2 and I guess it, I score 8 points.
    if my prediction is 3-1 and I guess it, I score 7 points.

    This can not be correct.

    The plugin instead works perfectly if, for example, my prediction is 2-2 and the game ends 1-1. This, unfortunately, without the plugin was not calculated correctly. in fact, as also explained in the HELP section, without this plugin I would score only one point.

    if I disable the “pagination” plugin, the games appear on the “pool” page. However, the games are incorrectly displayed at the end of the “user” page.
    I do not understand why the “pagination” plugin has always worked well and only now is giving these problems

    the variable “visible on the website” is “on”. Everything is exactly like the other matchtype.
    you can log in with your email and ask for the password reset independently. If you need more privileges, you can ask me.

    Perfect!
    I used version 1.0 of this plugin and did not know that you had added the QUESTIONS column in the new version!

    Thank you very much!
