Easier Results Posts

Racing How'd You Do?
1

I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, and finally got around to it - ran 43 ponies yesterday and figured it would take as long to write this script as it would to write up those horses’ results! :wink:

There’s now a link on the results popup from your stable alerts called “Formatted list for forum post” - it will spit out the results for your horses grouped by finish (win/place/show/fourth/fifth/also rans). It colour-codes gender, displays age/sire, and the finish position for also rans.

If you copy/paste that into a forum post and click Preview you’ll see what it looks like.

In the rewrite I’ll make this fancier with custom settings/styles/etc, but hopefully this will help the bigger stables who might want to post their results on the forum but don’t want to spend forever formatting things.

Yay! Such a great idea! Can’t wait to use it on Saturday

Brilliant!

Yay! We needed this! Nice that it displays age and sire too.

And, wow, you ran 43 ponies… :smiley:

Just an idea; could it also add the titles that our horses have? I think many of us include that in the forum posts, for sure me and Lewis. I like to mention that my champion is a champion :wink:

Agreed, I like to show off my ponies champion statuses!  ;D

Brilliant!

Love it. Used it today and, apart from the fact that the titles weren’t included, it looked almost identical to the way I format my reports.

Would it be a major deal to Bold & Underline the headings Wins/Places/etc? Make them stand out a bit more.

Thanks Shanthi.

I can’t wait to test this out! Thanks Shanthi!

I’ve added horse titles and made the headings (win/place/etc) bold. Lewis, I’m not keen on underline so feel free to add that yourself for your posts if you like. :wink:

Nice! I’m not a big fan of “all caps” so that looks better. Another thing if you have plenty of time :wink: as we also tend to do it - to list horses that ran in the same race in one sentence…? I guess it might be more complicated to code… For example, I had Pintoresca (2nd) in one race with Barcelona (5th), Faichan Kangri ran in the same claimer as Lady Orlando (10th and 13th), and Chucheria and Caballa ran in the same allowance (5th and 7th). It was fun to see especially in the big series, when for example Stafish horses ran 1-2-3 in a Breeder’s stakes :stuck_out_tongue:

That’s why I didn’t do it. Feel free to move lines around instead. :stuck_out_tongue:

These additional changes are great. As far as the not underlinng, no problem. Making the headings bold makes them standout anyway.
