Don’t wanna sound stupid, do I know which is the old file by the modification date? I don’t wanna untick the wrong one. Why is it in the downloaded zip file if it’s not correct. Just want to make sure I delete the right stuff lol.

Do we not need to tick all the files? I have 2 turkey options in the editor data to tick. It is the same for a few other leagues too and assumed that everything in the data update pack needs to ticked to be correct? Sorry if this is answered somewhere else!

 

If not, which do I tick and untick in the total pack?

 

Can someone edit / submit Diego Leon to Manchester United starting from july 1st, please?

It's going to be in tomorrows update.

 

The thing that needs time is an alternative “+1 year” update for countries that run Jan-Dec like Brazil

So my level of access as a staff member/moderator means I can just see what appears to be an Invalid submission. It is bringing through only the CA/PA on the visible submission and not various other details.

 

I tested with my own ‘test player’ submission and get the same experience as you. To that end, I'm confident you haven't done anything incorrectly - so you shouldn't try and re-submit anything further at this stage.

 

I have flagged to the Site Admin and I am sure he will get it resolved as soon as he is available. I am not sure whether he will be able to retrieve the data input by you and re-process your ones as valid submissions - but hopefully (to save you having to re-submit everything).

Yep CA/PA changes are generally only updated once a month at the moment.

 

Planning on letting you download your personal changes instantly if you'd like and still working on trying to create dbc/fmf files automatically which will solve alot of these headaches.

Everything that you see on the site that has been approved gets integrated into the overall Data Update. There is a new release of the Data Update once per day. Please note it does require manual action from the staff team to re-process, so there is no complete guarantee that it happens at the same time every day.

 

There is usually a small lead-time between a community member (such as yourself) submitting a change and that change being approved by a moderator. We do try to keep up with them as best we can, but invariably sometimes a proposed change can be pending for a day or two before it is approved/rejected. However, as soon as any change is approved by a moderator (whether there's a transfer, contract change, new player creation of PA/CA adjustment), that approved change will appear in the next Data Update that is processed.

 

The easiest way to think about it - as a guide in plain English - is that within 24-48 hours of changes being approved, the Data Update you download will reflect those changes.

Sorry this was only counting linked profiles and transfers/contracts previously, but i've updated it to include new players and attribute submissions now.

Not sure if this is automatically assigned. If it is, you should just be able to go to https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update and it should show you that you have access to the Classic FM update.

 

if it doesn’t, I would assume the site admins manage it manually and it’ll need them to reflect the change.

 

Worst-case, I’d expect us to be able to get it reflected following the weekend. As an aside, thanks for your efforts in contributing to the update - it is really appreciated!

OK, in that case - and I note your follow-up message below, as well as the outcome of a test I just performed - I believe we have a technical issue with data flowing through.

 

I will raise with the Site Admins and we'll get it looked into ASAP. Sorry for the inconvenience.

When a newly-created player submission is returned as ‘Invalid’ it is normally a sign that not all of the fields have been filled in that are required. There is validation in place that only validates a submission if it includes all of the core details for any new player. Admittedly, it may be more intuitive if that validation failed and presented back to the user what they had missed before even allowing the submission - that is something I'll suggest to the site admins (however, it may not be technically possible at this time).

 

In any case, on to the actual submissions and the correct, minimum detail you should include. Strictly-speaking, I believe you'll need to provide at least a First Name, Second Name, Nation, Position and Contracted Club. Ideally, a DOB would be preferred in all cases, too - as well as a proposed CA/PA if you have a sense of the quality/potential for these players.

 

Where you've proposed CA/PA-only changes, I can see that those are all in Pending, awaiting moderation; and so those will make it into the Data Update once they get approved by the staff (we try and keep a steady flow on these).

 

For those new player creations that got marked as in invalid - my recommendation to you would be to go to the Colchester team page (https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update/team/636) and from there, click on the name of one of the players. This will present the fields you can fill in and you can then hit ‘Save’ at the bottom and it'll attempt to create the submission. Perhaps do one to the best of your ability and then let me know and I can validate whether that has come through as ‘Pending’, before you spend time on all of the others.

 

Alternatively, you can click ‘Add New Youth Player’ from the Colchester team page, which will bring you to a completely blank form and you can do the same. If you do it this way, I'll then tidy up the ones that currently show as ‘Pending Moderation’ and have only ‘Invalid’ submissions behind them. One way or another, happy to work together to ensure everything gets (a) submitted that you want and then (b) gets moderated in the right way so we end up with a clean list on the Colchester page.
