Player links (Your help needed)
Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2007 8:13 pm
You will notice a new link on your roster page. It will take you to a page that will allow you to save links to your players at ESPN, Rotoworld, MLB.com and MILB.com . While this is optional, the information you enter will be used when individual player profiles are created, allowing a quick place to find a player's links (similar to the buttons below this post for me --PM, email, aim).
Instructions:
1. If the player does not have pages at a site, please leave the field blank.
2. Only update a single player at a time, then click the Update button at the end of their row.
ESPN:
Correct links will end in "profile?statsId=####" as opposed to "profile?playerId=####" (This will help me retrieve player pictures later on).
You can find the correct format by two methods, though only one is foolproof.
If the player is on a 40 man roster, you can look at his team's roster and you should find the correct link.
The other possibility is if you go to the player's page and you have the playerId, view the location of the player's image, find the ####.jpg and use those #s for statsId. If using this method, please make sure that the link you submit works correctly before saving it.
