Help integrating freerolls

[Dan280]

I have successfully managed to integrate rake chases and rake races into my site. However, I have found no way to integrate freerolls. I have read through all the documentation and have not been able to find where the freerolls are stored. Can someone please help with this?

Hi Dan, unfortunately I do not know how to do what you are asking. The PAS office is closed for the holidays and most will not be back in the office until Tuesday. I will pass this on to make sure the people that can answer this know the question is pending. Sorry for the delay and I wish I was more familiar with the system so I could help.

Dan,

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking, but freerolls can be seen in the following individual folders:

Party:

promotions/descriptions/freeroll_dates.html


Carbon Poker

promotions/descriptions/carbon_freeroll_dates.html


Let me know if this isn't what you are asking and then I will get Tech or Design to take a look.

[Dan280]

It's not. What I need is the dates stored in XML format so that I can integrate them into my main site. Can you please ask Tech or Design to look into it? Thank you

[GonzoPAS]

Will do- I should be able to get you an answer tomorrow. Most of design and tech is away today.

Thanks for your patience.

Dan,

I've added freerolls to the XML feeds but you'll need to supply the "type" parameter on the index in order to explicitly display them. For some reason, possibly an error, the default scope is set to ignore freerolls and I figured it'd be best to leave that how it is.

For example:

site1.pokeraffiliatesolutions.com/feeds/promotions.xml?type=freeroll

Non-freeroll promotions:

site1.pokeraffiliatesolutions.com/feeds/promotions.xml
site1.pokeraffiliatesolutions.com/feeds/promotions.xml?type=rake_chase
site1.pokeraffiliatesolutions.com/feeds/promotions.xml?type=rake_race

Note that there don't appear to be any active freerolls at this time. The format is similar to the other promotions and should be just what you need.

Dan,

I should add, the reason the default scope ignores Freerolls is that we don't internally maintain that data within PAS. Thus, the Freeroll XML URLs I posted earlier can be expected to return nothing. I'm not really sure what you're alternatives are here; sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for that information. I can just hard-code the free-rolls. I have noticed there are currently no promotions running and I am just receiving errors in the promotion section of my site. Can I expect the same promotions to return or should I remove the section altogether from my site? What I could do is write some PHP to display a message saying, "sorry this promotion is currently not running, please come back later". How often does PAS change its promotions because I would like my promotions section to be as dynamic as possible?

Hey Dan,

Promotions are largely the same month but there are usually one or two changes. I'll have design see what is going on here.

[GonzoPAS]

Does this mean that last December and this month have the same promotions available, but with few changes or difference..

You got it. The only change from the previous month was the removal of the Interpoker rake race.
