Favorite Team Suggestion

I like this idea. I have two big things I want to get done over Golden Week: Start gethering pitching/hitting data daily and finish incorporating the Wiki. This would be an excellent third goal.

I like this idea as well.

OK. This was actually a pretty easy request to fill. I had the pull down menu under the user profile settings page going into the database and onto the posts within half an hour. But, how should the overall data be presented?

What I came up with is the pie chart that you should be seeing on the left on the top page and the main forums page. I hope to see the pie broken up into 12 pieces soon!

I had experimented with charts before, but was getting a lot of memory leaks with the package I was using. I've changed packages and hope that this doesn't become a problem again, but I won't know until this has run for a little while. If you start seeing "Out of memory errors," please post so below (when you can).

This was a fun little mini-project. And it's also great feedback for future studies into what teams are popular with the English speaking demographic. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for implementing the suggestion. It'll be interesting to see which teams are the most popular, and maybe some students might be able to use the stats in future reports. I don't know what future plans you have for the chart and stats, but with the graph being so small, it's kind of hard to see which teams are what color, and how many fans each team has. Is there any way to perhaps make the graph larger on a separate page if clicked on?

Done. Is this size OK?

I can click on it, but I keep getting an error message. I tried in both Firefox and IE, and get the same message that looks like a java error?

Argh. Please try again. I failed to include the necessary GUI component in my startup script. Sorry about that.

Michael,

I've tried to register on my computer for about 6 months. I always get the java error. How can I fix it?

I'll need a little more information.

First, fill out the form on this page. Be sure to fill in information for the first five fields. Furthermore, the "Desired Username" and "Password" must be six or more characters long. For "Desired Username," please avoid special characters, especially quotes, brackets, and characters outside the standard U.S. A-Z alphabet (such as characters from Latin based languages). Numbers are OK.

Next, if you get an error, please cut and paste the details (an exception stack trace) as a follow up to this or as a new post here under Administration. Please also post any other information on what you did that might help me re-create the error.

Once I have the stack trace, I should be able to figure out where the error is happening.

Hope this helps.

I had no problem with the fan chart and was able to register my team easily. Great idea Michael.

- Great idea Michael.

Except it wasn't my idea. All credit goes to Jingu Bleacher Bum. (Try saying that name out loud three times fast.) He's had a number of great ideas, and I'm glad he's taken the time to propose them.

Three cheer for Jingu Bleacher Bum. Hurray, hurray!

That's only two! ^_^; Hurray again!

And now I'm off to vote for the Tigers. Or maybe the Eagles.

Agreed. This is awesome. I scored another point for Hanshin!

Well done!

Great idea and good job!

Thanks for the credit, but you deserve all of it for this great site you're running. Now for my next great idea, I'll get NPB to pay you and all the translators who submit info for this site a salary for the work! (Hey, I can dream can't I?)

Allright, maybe this will answer it......I was able to register through your link but I can't log in.

The following error occurred. If you believe it to be a bug, please report it in the Jive support forums at: http://www.jivesoftware.com/community/
java.lang.NullPointerException

OK. Line number 789 of login_jsp.java is a redirect to the referring page, which appears to be NULL in your case. Working with that information, I made sure that the browser's REFERER (your proxy may be blocking that header) always has something in it, so you should now be able to login (redirecting to the top page rather than the page you hit the login link from).

Let me know how it goes.

It worked Michael. Thanks!

No Buffaloes fans out there?

Am I the only Marines fan?!

After the first year, there's already over 100 people who've entered their favorite teams. Although almost a third of the people are Hanshin fans, it seems there's a nice representation of all the teams, except Orix. I guess buy me a beer changed his mind. The Lions also have a bit more fans on this board than I'd imagined.

There used to be one - I don't know what happened to him.
