Leaderboard is not updated

Post by edusword »

Hi all...

I've noticed the leaderboard is not updated. The last update is from "Thu May 15 16:15:02 2014 GMT". Does anybody know why the leaderboard is stopped?

Thank you very much!

The leaderboard (and the 1st and Top3) pages are static, and are supposed to be updated at regular intervals. Something has changed to either stop the regular calling of the scripts that update the pages, or the scripts themselves are failing.

I don't think we have any one working on the problem, I suspect it requires php change since the site upgraded recently. Barry, can you give me php privs for marp or check the problem out yourself or does zwaxy/seymore only have those?

MARP scripts are in Python, not PHP. And I only have FTP access, you'll have to speak with Zwaxy on getting that or login access.

It looks to me that cron jobs are failing (scripts that are called at certain periods) for some reason. That will need server access to fix up.

Bad news then... The leaderboard is a great motivation for getting 1st places.
Thank you for your response. Regards!

He wanted to specify (as I noticed on my own right now) that also those pages are not updated. :wink:

Is it?
And are we talking of quality 1st places? :roll:

Maybe half true, but that's a matter of points of view. Lot of years that Zwaxy is M.I.A. but we're still doing fine. I feel like it goes more to crap if we have a loss of good recordings in change of junk made just for the purpose of having your own name highlighted as "first" (and I regret a few of my old scores as well)... but that's my point of view. :wink:
