Suggestions / Re: Banner- fit while maintaining proportions
« on: December 13, 2007, 10:00:00 PM »
what would you do if the image is bigger than your screen?

I think you need to set some parameter to control - otherwise a screen cannot accomodate every size option.

Not sure though as I haven't tried banners yet.

Seems to me like it would be best to edit each image so it fits a space you are wanting it to occupy, even if that means you just add some borders to the image (so you wouldn't have to stretch it out, but it would fit in the same space as a previous image).

It shouldn't take long to make a bunch of images the same size with an image editor.

In the <img> tag, you can specify either the width or the height and the other side is automatically adjusted to maintain the proportions.  If you specify both the height and width, then the proportions are changed.  This can be done now in TD (and browser HTML in general).

When programming this, it would be relatively easy to determine the size/proportion for the cell that the image will be displayed in as well as the proportion of the image to be displayed.  You then use that information to determine whether the width or the height will be specified and then let the system figure out the rest (as it already does).

So, why would I edit all this when the system could figure it out.  And editing would only work for that specific case.  What happens when I add something to the screen, or use things in more than one layout, or have lots of images, or change the background color, etc.

Suggestions / Banner- fit while maintaining proportions

Corey,

As I continue to look at expanding my use of TD features, I've taken on working with banner sets.  I've got some great ideas for using this feature.  The "problem" I have is that I don't want to have to worry about resizing all my photos/images and or worry about the size of cell they are used in.  The current options of 1) actual size, 2) stretch to fit and 3) defined size don't work for this.

I'd like an option that maintains the proportions of the original image but displays it in its entirety within the cell size.

Thanks,
Michael

Suggestions / Saving/Sharing Toolbox items and Screens
« on: December 02, 2007, 12:58:49 PM »
It would be nice to have toolbox items saved in such a way that they can be:
1) loaded into new layouts/tournaments without having to redefine them
2) changed in one place and updated easily where they are already used

I know #2 is probably a problem since each file maintains its own copy of everything.  But, if #1 were accomplished.  I could easily update existing layous as necessary.

The same request applies to screens (and possibly even screen sets).

I have a number of layouts that are used for different reasons.  As I continue to enhance my toolkit items and screens, I have to do a lot of work to replicate those changes into other layouts.

Suggestions / Re: Option for currency symbol in blinds, antes, etc.

How about unchecking "Show chip values as currency" on the Preferences tab (Currency / Numbers section)?

DUH!!! That works too!   ;)

Suggestions / An "Overall Scoring" need
« on: June 22, 2007, 12:20:20 PM »
This is probably not a common thing/need, but I figured I'd ask just in case its not unique or is relatively easy to do.

Our league has several different style tournaments that we play multiple times through out the year.  Each style has its own points system.  We take the best 2 of 3 of each style in calculating Overall Scoring.

I'd like a way to use your Overall Scoring function which supports the idea of "MaxOf", but I need to be able to use it against segregated tournaments (maybe through a new attribute or using an existing one like "Tournament Seasons".)

[note- following example isn't the actual formula such as Top2, but a description of what i'm trying to do]

For a simple example- tourneys A, B & C using scoring system 1, while tourneys D, E & F use scoring system 2 (the scoring systems are setup properly in each tourney).  I'd like to be able to compute Overall Score= Top2(A,B,C) + Top2(D,E,F)

I can't use Overall Score = Top4(A,B,C,D,E,F) because all scores in D, E,F may be lower than the lowest score in A, B, C.

Again, I know this is probably a bit much...but it doesn't hurt to ask.  Right now, I do this outside TD using Excel.

Suggestions / Option for currency symbol in blinds, antes, etc.
« on: June 22, 2007, 12:01:49 PM »
I like a lot of the new features in 2.3.x!!!

One think I especially like is being able to specify the level parameter for the smallbind, bigblind, etc tokens.  It lets me do lots of things especially eliminate my hard-coded blind structure displays and make them dynamic.

However, I'd like to have the option in these tokens to display without the currency symbol.  This takes up valuable real estate and doesn't add much value on the display.  This is true in all cases where I display the blinds- large for current, smaller for next, or smaller yet for the whole structure.

Thanks!
