Version 2.4.5 starts to extend publishing so that users have more control over how results are formatted.
To use it, tick the box labelled “Use Javascript” when publishing results and then include the Results.js script at the “Select Destination” stage. You will see from the source generated that Javascript is used to format headers etc., rather than vanilla HTML. Results.js is an example that starts to mimic the current alternative HTML – you can supply your own Javascript. There is still much to do. This extension is probably only suitable for users familiar with HTML and Javascript or some other coding language. Most clubs/events will have such a person and it’s a one time operation to design your layout. No documentation yet.

Thank you for your prompt fix.
I do have a question, I do results for Whitsunday Model Boat Club, we all sail 1 metre Radio control yachts, we sail 12 races every saturday.At the end of last year i needed to produce results for club champion for scratch and handycap races over the year. Is there a way to extract data to produce yearly results.
Thank You
Chris
hi chris, depends what you mean. you can export the results in CSV format for generic processing by something else – e.g. a spreadsheet. you can also create a ‘meta’ series where each race contains the overall places results from one saturday series say. there is also XML export of the series available.
Thanks for the prompt reply, could you tell me what a meta series is.
What I did for the yearly club champion is take the results from all qualifing series, 27 in all, and put them into a new series then produced the results with 8 discards. this gave me the results for overall series winner.
Thanks
Chris
sorry, i used meta for want of a better word, nothing specific. had in mind a series for each saturday with the final results for each saturday imported into an overall ‘meta’ series as a single race. so say you did 30 saturday series, there would be 30 races in the ‘meta’ series and the place for each race in the meta series was equal to the final rank in the corresponding sat series. this saves having hundreds of races in the ‘meta’ series. sound like you do in fact do something like this. just wanted to point out there was an import facility to do it. cj.
That is what I would like to do. I will see what I can do for this years racing and thank you for Sailave it saves me a lot of work, well done.
