Sindo 1,222 Posted April 1, 2020 Author #532 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hello guys, since all sport events are suspended for some months, I would like to think about some ways to improve Totallympics. First of all, I have thought about a system to provide results on the forum, like we were doing in the past. I will give more details at a later stage but users interested to help with that can let me know so I will keep them updated and we can make some tests before the competition start again. Also, we would like to merge https://games24.totallympics.com and https://qualifyingtothegames.totallympics.com/ websites into a single one. If someone is interested to help with the content of the website is welcome, but more than that we would need some help in the web design. The website is using Wordpress, has someone here any experience with Wordpress or with web design in general ? If so, please let me know here or through Private Message, any help will be appreciated vlad, Dnl, Benolympique and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted April 2, 2020 #533 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I've always been against investing lots of time reporting the results of competitions on the forum because the last major server crash rendered all that work futile. Everything was lost and I can only imagine the frustration of people who spent hours typing everything. I'm a huge supporter of Wikipedia and I believe that it would be great for a larger number of people if results were to be uploaded to Wikipedia. Of course not every competition is deemed big enough to be listed there, but I doubt that lack of preservation of the results for a number of small meets would be considered catastrophic for many people. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with Wikipedia is that it takes a lot of time and coding (at least from my experience). If you aren’t good at the technical stuff, then you can get maybe 2/3 pages done during one day. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Once you have the basic template ready, it's very easy to update with the names of the athletes and results. Not really a big deal. If you know basic HTML it will be a piece of cake to learn how wiki code works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
