Prior to 2009 Changes |
After 2009 Changes |
|
Login procedures changed
|
To access edting (protected) pages, registered users would click an editing icon
in the public areas. This action would bring them to the login page, then
to the protected page upon successful login.
|
To access editing (protected) pages, registered users will login first, then they
will be presented with a customized menu based on their authorization level. These
custom menu items will allow them to access the protected pages for updating scores,
changing rosters, adding stats, posting news items, and editing team information.
|
|
Username and Password recovery procedures simplified
|
Username recovery was not available. Password recovery was not available. Passwords
could be reset to a random string, but they could not be recovered in their original
form.
|
Forgotten usernames can be recovered online by entering the registered email
address. Forgotten passwords may be recovered online by providing the username,
then the forgotten password is emailed to the user. |
|
No more multiple accounts |
No limit to the number of login accounts for a given email address |
Only one login account will be issued to a specified email address. Coaches, if
they wish, may have multiple accounts using different email addresses, but the
simplified methods of recovering usernames and passwords should make this
unnecessary. |
|
Registration process simplified
|
Registrant would supply information then wait for website administrator to
assign privileges
|
Registrant will immediately be assigned privileges if he/she is on the IHSLA
contact list.
|
|
Account information available
|
No account information available
|
An account information page is available to logged in users which displays relevant
data about their account usage. It also contains links to make changes to key account
details such as email address, passwords, and team associations.
|
|
Secure Editing
|
Trust-based methods of editing. All registered users had access to all editable
information.
|
Registered users are now associated with a specific team when they are assigned
editing rights. Once assigned, users will only have access to their own team information.
|
|
Password selection security relaxed
|
Passwords were required to be at least 7 characters long and contain at least one
non-alphanumeric character (?,_,/,;)
|
Passwords must be at least 6 characters long and have at least one digit and one
alphabetic character. No non-alphanumeric characters are required.
|
Home Field lists implemented
 |
Each field in the IHSLA database was established as a home field for one of the
IHSLA teams. This created problems where there were shared home fields. |
Fields are now independent of teams and each team chooses their home fields from
a list. Coaches are expected to manage their home field list from the new
customized menu item "Home Fields". Coaches may only modify directions to fields
that are in their home field list. |
|
Stats expanded
|
Cumulative stats for varsity only
|
Cumulative stats for Varsity, JV and Frosh
|
Game recaps
|
No game recaps available
|
Game recaps may now be entered by either coach of the game (the winning coach should
have priority). The game recaps are made available to the public through the game
schedule and through special RSS feeds.
|
|
Roster editing simplified
|
Roster editing was a tedius task with player names and details on separate pages.
|
Roster editing now occurs on a master/detail page. The list of players is on the
left, their detail pops up on the right panel of the page when their name is selected
from the list. This change should make it easier for coaches and/or administrators
to update stats.
|
Jobs board implemented
|
No jobs board
|
Publicly available jobs board now exists that allows non-registered users to post
jobs.
|
Camps board implemented
|
Camps board available at end of 2008 season, but only could be updated by website
administrator.
|
Publicly available camps board now exists that allows non-registered users to post
camps.
