Example Motor Sport Entry Form

Shown below is a typical entry form for the Wordpress Motor Racing League plugin.

The plugin is designed to manage motor racing championships and allow users to predict the outcome of the races. Points are awarded based on users’ predictions and the actual finishing order of the race.

Most motor sport competition types are supported. Basically any event that involves qualifying, then a race with a finishing order. For example, Formula One, NASCAR, Moto GP, even possibly cycle races.

Upgrade Notice

After upgrading to V1.1 or later of the plugin you need to change the shortcode format. For example motorracingleague_1 becomes motorracingleague entry=1

This is to allow new features for reporting race and championship results.

Below is an example entry form to enter predictions.

Entry for Fantasy F1 2010

Race:
Pole
Position 1
Position 2
Position 3

Email:

The form is configurable to allow players to guess pole position, fastest lap, pole position time, number of laps led etc.

For more information, screenshots and usage instructions see Motor Racing League plugin.

    I’m trying to adapt this for a NASCAR league I run over at the PlayStation.com forums. I’m no good with coding and I don’t have the funds to hire someone to edit the plugin to my needs so…a few helpful tips would be appreciated.

    Basically, our league allows players to pick 3 drivers each race. We then award points based on where the picks finish. We ONLY award points to the top 12 finishing positions of the actual race. So if 2 picks finish in the top 12 but the 3rd doesn’t, they only get points for those two picks that finished int he top 12.

    My problem is that I’m trying to figure out how to edit the php file for the points system in your plugin but I’m not sure how to start. I’m pretty sure I could get by if I had something to go by, for instance; Pk1 (pick 1) finishes P1 (first place) = 25 points. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello,

    Im working to get your nice plugin on my website. Everytthing is working fine except the countdown and predictions form. When i put the [motorracingleague_1] in a post or page i dont see a working form with the countdown. I tried different things as the time and dat setting but can’t get it working. It’s just a static overview now. Can you help me with this.

    Hi, I just looked at http://www.wilfredenelke.nl/?page_id=18 and it seems to be working.

    I guess you have solved it.

    Thanks for the plugin. I’m trying to set it up to track our own race called IROK (Intoxicated Rednecks on Karts). Anyway, when I enter a prediction I get this error:

    WordPress database error: [Table 'shakenbakespeedway_com.wp_r56e6y_motorracingleague_prediction' doesn't exist]
    SELECT pole_lap_time, e.id as “id”, player_name, email, p.shortcode as “shortcode”, points, position, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`when`) AS “when” FROM wp_r56e6y_motorracingleague_entry e, wp_r56e6y_motorracingleague_participant p, wp_r56e6y_motorracingleague_prediction pre WHERE e.race_id = 1 AND pre.entry_id = e.id AND p.id = pre.participant_id ORDER BY e.points DESC, `when`, e.id, pre.position ASC

    I’m not sure what to do. Can you help?

    Thanks,
    Bonebreak

    Hey Ian,
    Sorry forgot a few details that may help you. MRL vers 1.1.2 WP vers 2.9.1. Also, when I deactivated the plugin and tried to activate I keep getting an error.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Opps, minor typo in the activation routine that creates the tables. Missed a $wpdb->prefix
    I’ve fixed the bug and uploaded it to Wordpress.

    If you download version 1.1.2 again, unzip, copy it up to your server, deactivate and reactivate it should work.
    Any problems, let me know.

    Ian.

    I have been looking for something like this for a while now. The only issue I have its not a stand alone script. I been building a website called racingfansonline.com and wanted to include a fantasy racing part. I thought this would work out great for my site, but big issue. Not running word press so i said how hard could this be to port this mod to work with my site. But after hours and hours I guess very hard. So if you can point me in some direction or know some where i can get a stand alone not a plug in that would be great.

    I’m not aware of a something similar that is standalone. That’s why I wrote the plugin :-)
