I'm going to try to rewrite sortable stats this weekend in between the madness that will be Michigan/Indiana and the Super Bowl.
I've been running a cron job (From Dreamhost: "Cron is a way of performing scheduled tasks on UNIX systems") on my server that used php (ew) to scrape the player pages for data. The good thing about it was that it was automatic. The bad thing is that the way it was written, I had to update the season manually** so you didn't get every player page that exists on the server. And it was run on my server, daily.
If I update it how I plan to, the pages can still run automatically but also manually. And it'd just be dependent on the simmer exporting and uploading a CSV after every sim. Then they could go to a page and simply press a button. This will give you actual foul stats! And maybe make way for team stats.
Does anyone know if BBS also has a mysql server?
** I just realized a way that I could have automated this :/
