Templates

Customizing exports comes into its own when you start to use the template facilities of gp_vcon. These let you use your own template files to produce exported rosters just the way you want them.

The Templates page

The Templates page is divided into three parts, the type of template file you wish to use, the name of a single template file, and, a template file for each selected team.

The Template type

The two template types are :

Single Template File - This option specifies that one template file will be used to produce each exported roster, or league or rosters. For example, you might have a template for exporting the entire league to one file, or, a general template that can cater for a team individually, so when exported will contain that single teams' roster.

File per Team - This method allows for more customization, as each team has it's own uniques template file. This way, you can add team-specific information in the file, and when exported, will include the rosters for that week.

Assigning a template file

With the Single Template File option selected, this part of the page becomes enabled. By clicking on the Load button, you will be presented with a window in which to choose the template file of choice.

One Template per Team

With the File per Team option chosen, the Team to File Links section of the page is enabled. By double-clicking on a row on the list, you are able to add a specific template file for that team. Until all the teams have a template file linked to them, the Export button at the bottom of the screen will remain unavailable. You may, if you wish, use the same templates files for more than one team.

Select the file

On double-clicking a team in the list, the Team File window opens and allows you to pick the template file you require for the team. Clicking on the Load button will bring up the File window with which you can find the template file to link to the team.
