dev diary #81 | SimNFL | Available Teams Page

[TuscanSota]

Hey everyone,

 

Today marks the day where I officially announce that SimNFL on the interface is in development. For the first part of this implementation, I would like to formally announce that Sign Ups are now deployed on the interface. Please read this dev diary on how signing up for an NFL Team will work on the interface.

 

To Access

Click on the "Request Team" tab in the navigation bar of the Interface and then click the "NFL Team" button on the left side of the page. This will load every NFL team as a card.

 

NFL Card

The NFL Card features the logo of the team, the official team name, the Conference & Division of the team, and the roles that are available and filled.

 

The Four NFL Roles on the Interface

There are four roles on the interface: Owner, GM, Head Coach, and Assistant.

• The Owner has permissions for all NFL pages related to their team.
  
• The General Manager (GM) will have permissions related to the team's Cap Sheet and roster. They will be able to make trades, cut players, sign free agents and participate in the waiver wire process. They cannot save the team's gameplan or save the depth chart.
  
• The Head Coach will have permissions related to the team's gameplan and their depth chart. They will not be able to make trades, cut players, sign free agents, or participate in the waiver wire process.
  
• The Assistant may view all NFL related pages to their team, but will not be able to perform any actions reserved for the General Manager or Head Coach.
  

 

Applying for a role

Click on the role that you currently have on your NFL team. If you're new to SimNFL and want to join an existing team, please reach out to a SimFBA administrator and the team's Owner.

 

If you're the owner of an NFL Team and also the team's General Manager or head coach, please only apply for the Owner Role.

 

If you're currently both a GM and Coach, but not the owner, please work with your team's owner on splitting the responsibilities, because the current data structure does not support users with a dual GM and Coach role.

 

Once you've clicked on the apply button, please wait for an Admin user to approve your role.

 

 

What now?

The rest of the pages are currently in development. The only way to tell if you're successfully signed to your team and role is by viewing the Available Teams page once you're approved. I will provide updates on when the pages will be available; for a particular order on when the pages may be ready, here is what I'm thinking in hindsight:

 

1. NFL Admin Page
   
2. NFL Team Page
   
3. NFL Roster (Capsheet and Player Roster Management here)
   
4. NFL Gameplan
   
5. NFL Depth Chart
   
6. NFL Free Agency
   
7. NFL Trade Block
   

 

When will they be available?

When I say so. Please continue to be patient, and everything will be ready momentarily.

 

 

Thanks,

TuscanSota

Don't know if it's a bug or intended, but when you click 'Request', the 'Request Sent!' return pops up under all teams.

Intended. Will look into revising this once I have time.
