I'm using one.com for hosting. (€1.25/month + domain name charge for 3Gb space and unlimited traffic.) You need a webserver (Apache), PHP and MySQL to run OBBLM. With WAMP (really easy install) you can run OBBLM locally on Windows too. (Or on any comp, regardless of OS, that can run Apache, PHP and MySQL.)

~150 matches total, ~25 teams takes less than 1Mb space in DB and about 6Mb filespace.

@howlinggriffon: When upgrading, your files will be overwritten. Save a copy of your edited files. Generally speaking, the only file OBBLM wants you to edit is settings.php. But better safe than sorry - make a DB backup and a filesystem backup before upgrading.

Yup - I fully backed up all the files as well as the SQL database before I started. I've got 0.7 running on the site now but I've got a glitch with the try-out inducements. It says there's an error :

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/cbbblcou/public_html/inducements.php on line 262

I think it might just be me as I have an edited lrb6 file.

It's not neccassarily your fault. I'll let Daniel have a chance at looking at it first. Please, lets continue using code.google.com for issue discussions/reporting and not talkbloodbowl.com.

Cool, made it work (first time I've used php, mySQL, or apache), and I like it. Just running on my machine at the moment while I play with it. If anyone else, like me, is a complete novice with this kind of thing, then this link:

Tutorial for using MAMP or XXAMP and Dreamweaver

is the absolute dog's-danglies to get you on your way; very clear.

anyone added the new teams to the software?

howlinggriffon · Post by **howlinggriffon** » Sun May 17, 2009 12:43 pm

I have on mine - although I've edited the LRB6 file to only allow some of the changes. I'm running a kind of LRB5.5

A little update on things:

howlinggriffon's error was due to incorrectly updating.

Grumbledook: Yes, simply enable them in the settings.php file. By default obblm uses lrb5 rules.

Grumbledook · Post by **Grumbledook** » Sun May 17, 2009 5:10 pm

what if we just want the new teams without the LRB6 rule changes?

howlinggriffon · Post by **howlinggriffon** » Sun May 17, 2009 7:12 pm

You just edit out what you don't want from the game_data_lrb6x.php file.

can anyone help me with the PDF roster creation.

when I try it on the Demo site it works fine, however when i try it on my site it doesn't work. just goes to a blank page and when I try and open it in a new tab I get FPDF error: Can't open image file:

I am running the league of my MAMP installation on my mac at home.

any ideas?

Guys,

Can you please tell me when the next full release will be issued? I understand there are some cool advances such as java menu's etc. Rather than installing piecemeal, I would live to simply upgrade to v1.1 or whatever you guys choose as the next increment.

So ETA for next major dot release?

Thanks!

I'm guessing you are Lorne who has posted this too on code.google?

We slowly increment the version numbers (kind of like google never making anything v 1.0), the next will be 0.75 which I hope to be released quite soon (within next week). Trying to catch as many bugs as possible before releasing it (mostly just visual "bugs" left now).
Yes, the next version does in fact have a lot of nice new stuff. Amongst the news is a new menu system and a whole new cross-comparable statistical system has been written - really launching the obblm statistical capabilities into overdrive

. I think funnyfingers uses one of the latest revisions: http://ate.stuntyleeg.com/.
