Need help with parsing an NFL schedule

[emilioi]

Hello,

Recently NFl.com has changed their website so now my site will not update to get me the new schedule for 2012. They used to have a drop down but have now changed it by clicking on numberof the weeks. If I were to give you the page of my code could you help me out by telling me what needs to be changed???

 

Please I really need this .....

 

this is the error that it gives me Parse Error

 

Unfortunately, http://www.nfl.com/schedules/2012/REG1 has changed. Please contact emilio and cite page /admin/build_nfl_regular_season_schedule.php with error cannot find newest season year value container <select id="seasonDropdown">

 

Thanks

You need to find all instances in the code like:

 

select[id=seasonDropdown]

 

All of these needs to be changed so that it matches the expected text. To give you an example:

 

$year = trim($schedule->find('ul[class=schedules-nav-dropdown-item-content-ul]', 0)->find('li', 0)->innertext);

 

Would give you the first year in the year dropdown for the new layout. Not tested.

So why don't you?

so just this has to be changed  >> select[id=seasonDropdown] to  >> $year = trim($schedule->find('ul[class=schedules-nav-dropdown-item-content-ul]', 0)->find('li', 0)->innertext);

Can't you just contact the person who wrote this script for you? Maybe he already has an updated version?

Yes, but 1) create a backup first 2) you have to replace ALL instances where they try to retrieve information from the website, which means you'll need some tools which can be found by pressing F12 in Firefox or Chrome to get the developer console.

>> select[id=seasonDropdown] to  >> $year = trim($schedule->find('ul[class=schedules-nav-dropdown-item-content-ul]', 0)->find('li', 0)->innertext);

 

Obviously I refer to the entire line 91:

$year = trim($schedule->find('select[id=seasonDropdown]', 0)->find('option', 0)->innertext);

 

Must be replaced with above mentioned code.

No that person is long gone.....

 

so this

* <select id="season"> structure integrity detection. */

if (count($schedule->find('select[id=seasonDropdown]', 0)) == 0) {

nfl_site_changed("cannot find newest season year value container <select id=\"seasonDropdown\">");

}

 

becomes this

* <select id="season"> structure integrity detection. */

if (count($schedule->find('$year = trim($schedule->find('ul[class=schedules-nav-dropdown-item-content-ul]', 0)->find('li', 0)->innertext);

}

If you feel uncomfortable making these changes then you can always head on over to the freelancing section and let someone make these changes for you.
