Comments on: Background http://www.wp-swimteam.org A WordPress plugin for swim team management Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:26:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mike Walsh http://www.wp-swimteam.org/background/comment-page-1/#comment-1653 Mike Walsh Wed, 03 Aug 2011 13:15:04 +0000 http://www.wp-swimteam.org/?page_id=141#comment-1653 Parsing results from Hy-tek should be similar if not alnost the same as parsing results from a SDIF file. The Hy-tek .CL2 file is very similar, but not exactly, an SDIF file but there are some utilities floating around that will convert Hy-tel results in CL2/HY3 format into a standard SDIF file. Once you have the SDIF file you can use the USA Swimming Specification to parse the data. It is fairly straight forward to parse although tedious to do so. The <a href="http://www.flip-turn.com" rel="nofollow">Flip Turn</a> project I worked on earlier this year loads SDIF results into a MySQL database so they can be easily browsed. I haven't worked on it in a while but you can see what it looks like on the <a href="http://demo.flip-turn.com rel="nofollow">Flip-Turn Demo</a> site. The code is written in PHP and can be downloaded from Google Code if interested. Parsing results from Hy-tek should be similar if not alnost the same as parsing results from a SDIF file.

Is there a layout document available that defines the swim meet results file mappings? Thanks Steve @Jay

Jay – I am interested in parsing the results from the HyTech Manager files for swim meets – I would to use the data to build a cube and do some reporting from that cube. Is there a layout document available that defines the swim meet results file mappings?

Thanks

I'd encourage your to sign up for the SDIF forum as I suspect the data format Hy-tek uses for Track and Field is the same, or similar, to the formats they use for swimming. There has been some good data on working with CL2 and HY3 files on the SDIF forum. I saw your web site and I think your goals there are similar to what swimming people are working on.

My goals are clearly stated on my website ... and i'd really like to talk. My end goals are intense ... priorities right now are to create a freely-shared database back-end system ... to support projects like Go Pre. See my website for a project proposal. Mike,

I have made good progress and would be happy to share what I have found with you. Send me an email if you are interested or want more details. Mike,

My goal is to get all of our information in master form on our web site and export what is needed for each swim meet. I too would like to get to the point where our coaching staff can assemble a line up via the web using an drag and drop AJAX interface and then export entries in SDIF format so it can be imported into WinSwim or Hy-tek. Not sure when I'll get there but that is the long term goal! Troy – what you are describing is essentially what I have built with my wp-swimteam plugin.

My main purpopse was to generate html pages of meet entry and meet results. Also I process the result data to generate files for eventual use in a MySQL database. What I am trying to get to is an independant open system that holds all of the team information for archive purposes. We have lost a lot of history in the past and I would like to create a central repository that is not dependant on the software we use. Right now our on line sign up is manually entered into hy-tek to be submitted but I would love to see the option to push a button and generate the entry file. I plan to start working the checksum not that I have what I need for HTML generation. I have have done a bit of work on the files particularly the meet entry files and meet result files.

I've been idle a bit as our season has ended but want to get back on this task. I've sent you an invite to join the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/sdif-forum" rel="nofollow">Google Group</a> I've set up to hash file formats and such. Great!

We have been developing tools to read and transcribe Meet Manager result files with some success. Would love to have more tools to interface with Team Manager, without having to pay for new modules, or support for program features that could easily be written at home.
