Title: Show a message to cash desk about re-register player's own card
Post by: Linker_Split on February 23, 2014, 05:20:55 AM
Hi guys
in our club, we use RFID badge cards to register players into the tournament, and the cost per card is about 10,00€
The cost is per year and now I have a big problem about speeding up the re-registration of the same cards.
Normally, I could open the Excel file and check everytime a player comes to play but... it's not possible!
Then... I thought to use the TD as checking program.

What I want to do is to create an event which will trigger if the date of registration has passed one year.
Do you think it's possible?

If so, any hint?
I saw that in formula mode, I can use some values like ID where I could save the date one player register...
any help?
Thank you!

You *could* save the date in the ID field, but it's just a field with no special meaning.  There's nothing in the TD application that would treat it as a date, and thus no way to trigger an event when a year has passed.

Is there any way to have a variable displaying the current date of the day?

I don't understand.

I don't understand.
Like there's the timeOfDay variable, is there any variable which is used to display the date of the day?
In this way I could comprare the ID saved from the players' card to this variable

No, unfortunately not.  And a player's ID isn't available to formulas/conditions.
