SMF SSI.php Functions

Current Version: 2.1.4

This file is used to demonstrate the capabilities of SSI.php using PHP include functions. The examples show the include tag, then the results of it.

Include Code

To use SSI.php in your page add at the very top of your page before the <html> tag on line 1 of your php file:

Code: [Select]
<?php require("SSI.php"); ?>

Some notes on usage

All the functions have an output method parameter. This can either be "echo" (the default) or "array"

If it is "echo", the function will act normally - otherwise, it will return an array containing information about the requested task. For example, it might return a list of topics for ssi_recentTopics.

This functionality can be used to allow you to present the information in any way you wish.

exclamation 2024 Schedule

October 30, 2023, 09:20:47 AM by Columbus Wild
2024 Schedule
December 31st - 2024 Check In
December 31st - Fantrax Fees Due (Once a team is paid the transaction hold will be lifted)
January 21st - Roster Decisions
February 5th - Free Agency (Matching)
February 12th - Free Agency (Pitchers/Catchers)
February 19th - Free Agency (Hitters)
March 24th - Active Rosters must be reduced to 40 (25 man active and 15 reserves)
March 24th - Off Season Free Agency Closes
March 28th - Opening Day
April 8th - MLFAD Starts
August 5th - FYPD - Tentative (Monday after signing deadline)
August 15th - Trade Deadline
Regular Season Ends after week 21

This is the 2024 schedule.  This is close to last years but there are some changes.  The check in and Fantrax fee payment will be first on the agenda before any other league business. If you don't check in and pay by 12/31 your team will be considered open and we'll fill it before offseason business.   Trading will not be permitted by teams until they pay their 2024 Fantrax dues. 

Also, inflation has hit Fantrax, the cost per team is now $6.50 (+ processing fee) as Fantrax raised the price of the premium league in 2024.

You are free to check in, pay and post your rosters decisions early if you desire.    Roster decisions will be tentative until the deadline.

Let me know if you have any questions.

xx 2024

October 04, 2023, 09:02:53 AM by Columbus Wild
I have activated the 2024 Fantrax league.  You should see it in your leagues on the left of Fantrax now.  I plan to start dropping expiring contracts (2023 & y2y6) here shortly and after that I'll start updating y2y contract progressions. 

The 2024 calendar will be posted in the next week or two so everyone can prepare for the upcoming season.

Let me know if you have any questions!
