m-site
Web publishing module
This module allows to publish race information on a web server. In this way information are available in real time to everyone who has got a browser; most used browsers have been tested for the purpose: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera.
You can install this module both on a web server over internet and on a pc in lan at race place. The most important uses of this module are:
- Publish on your web site start lists and results. It's easy to copy your database on your server to have immediately published: start lists, start lists ordered by team and so on. You won't never forget to "print and publish" anything; just copy one single file and you'll have everything updated.
- Publish at race place start lists, results and live results, setting up several videos (or some projectors); your spectators won't never ask you "please, print temporary result lists" again.
Common functions
Every page has print, font resize and "save as" buttons. Printed pages are optimized and are printed in black and white to reduce print cost and time. Font resize allows you to set the best font size for each different monitor to increse the user experience.
Automatic page
refresh functions: the Control Panel
The Control Panel allows you to set up the browser to refresh pages automatically. You can:
- set refresh frequency
- decide to refresh the same page or to show the next class
- set page scrolling: this option is useful when classes contain many runners; in these cases, whitout this function, most monitors couldn't show the last runners in the list
- set (for live result page) how many runners, among the ones not arrived yet, you want to show before the first classified; this option is useful in long races with many runners: without this option, live results would show many useless rows on top of the list
A smartphone dedicated section is available.
Speakers utilities
Speakers will appreciate to have everything under their control. The Control Panel contains also a search field to find runners by their number easily; in live results page this selection will show the current running time of the athlete and his position and will list only the athletes that he can overcome.
Replay!
Web publishing module also contains the amusing Replay! function. This function (visibl here) shows the results as if the race was live. Every day the time of the race is set to zero to start again.
