Pokerroom promos leaderboards urls

[StanleyVII-PokerSpravy.sk]

Hi!

There are promos changing from time to time. Rake race change to rake chase, sometimes both are available for one pokerroom. I dont see any reason why to put rake race archives and rake chase archives alone.

I suggest to make only ONE archive common for both rake races and rake chases and to change the leaderboards urls to something more general.

EXAMPLE:

{% fragment promotions/leaderboards/rake_race_leaderboards.html?promotion=carbon&archive=1 %}

Is there that rake_race necessary? I think it would be better to change it just to something more general, so I dont have to change it always when rake race changes to rake chase and links will be still functioning.

For Example like this:

{% fragment promotions/leaderboards/leaderboards.html?promotion=carbon&archive=1 %}

It doesnt matter, if in previous month it was race or chase. Player will just know he has to click archives and choose Carbon from the list of pokerrooms in archives and he will be sent to the part of the document, where he can see exactly what he is searching for, doesnt matter if it is race or chase.

Problem:

There is a problem what to do, if rake race and rake chase are in the room in the same month. There is a sollution. Simply write the leaderboard for rake race as first and leaderboard for rake chase as second.

I think this will make archives much more usable and save publishers time with updating. This is a part of my website, that always make me sad in the beginning of the new month

Great thanks, if you can fix this!

One more thing that came on my mind. Sometimes there are leaderboards missing in the archive in the beginning of the month. Is it possible to make the condition, that if there is no leaderboard showed in the archiv (because of getting the results final), it will show information: Results of this promo are getting finalized, please try to check later. The best sollution will be with information, when to check If you will get this implemented, please dont forget to add the phrase to word translation form too.

Thank you!

We have these setup in a way which is pretty flexible so you could mix the leaderboards if you wanted. Basically you could copy/paste code from both onto a new page & update links to the newly created archives page (in the 'promotions > descriptions' files). It actually might make sense for us to switch to this way of doing it if there's enough interest.

In order to to keep the flexibility, I think it's best to keep the leaderboard includes separate. If we output all leaderboards for a room into 1 token then there would be an issue if a publisher wanted to separate them. Also, they would have to be totally recoded since those Race/Chase includes contain links to pages with a lot of dynamic leaderboard logic within them. I'm not even sure this way is possible/feasible.

Thank you for your answer, Mark!

It is true, that publisher can make some changes by himself (I have already moved all the races and chases to one page).

I may fix the changes from race to chase and chase to race the way, that I will write both codes, for race and chase and if some will be not actual, it will just stay blank, like it is today, so only actual race or chase, or both will be shown.

But I will need PAS to not change urls of the links. I have had problem in august, that many links have changed. For example in Carbon rake race in the url has been change from word carbon to words carbon poker and it stopped functioning. The same with cake, poker heaven and so on. I had to check all the leaderboards and repair it manually. Leaderboards were blank on my site for couple of days until I have inquired that there is a problem.

Just set the links once and then leave them the same please, as it causes problems to publishers that have made translations and their promo page is not default and doesnt update autmatically with changes PAS makes.

Good point. Will try to minimize changing leaderboard urls in the future.
