Tournament Monitor, how is it going?

MilanFlyer · #1 () 12-05-2005, 07:06 AM

First of all, thanks to the developer of this great tool. I must say that this is the best piece of code that this forum has given me.

A few questions about your progress.

Any new pokerrooms coming into the feed?
Would like to see Full Tilt, BET365, and others...

Does the Pokerrooms welcome you with donations, or what?

Does this project have priority for you, or is it just a waste of time (does it generate any profitt for you to keep you motivated)?

Final note:

I sure hope that you will continue to develop this tool, because I realy like it!

Hi,

Good question

The future of Tournament Monitor is currently under discussion. We need to find some way to make it profitable for us to continue to supply this service for other affiliates - until now it has been a complete waste of time.

We have discussed several options, and I think a few changes will happen at the beginning of January.

Glad you like it

Can someone help me with this?

I love BeattheFish's tournament monitor and have no clue how to customize it like that. Any help would be great.

I will be making the tournament and freerolls feeds on www.pokeryap.com/poker-freerolls/ (currently 13 rooms supported but I only promote 6 myself on PokerYap so others are not visible there) along with all the customized icons etc, as well as the www.pokeryap.com/us/ poker tv schedule (and its icons) available for free in a week or two.

Will be available to a select few to begin with to test out functionality etc, if you are interested just drop me a message and I'll get back to you when it's available.

Note that while it is free those systems have of course taken a lot of time to code and making it available to others in a customizable and easy fashion will take even more time plus ongoing resources from the server so anyone using it will have to link back to us. Hence if this is too big of a "price" to pay don't bother.

Pokerboy, why dont you input one room on the monitor with only your affiliate code. make an uneditable poker site that is linked to your code directly. so we have the benefit of the service and you at least have one of the rooms showing on it always linked to you

I would think it would be more useful for them to use it to gain backlinks to a general site that has links to all of their poker sites. Im sure this would get you a great number of links.

Justin,

Glad you like the look of the tournament schedule on the site. It really wasn't too difficult to customize, and I give Tournament Monitor credit for that. I did it a while ago, but I already had a couple of tables with a similar style, so I just copied it into the Tournament Feed customization section. I think that you have to put it into RSS style, but it isn't too tough. Let me know if you can't figure it out, and I'll try to help.

P.S. Pokerboy - I liked the automated banner section at the bottom of the feed, but it hasn't been showing up for me for quite some time now. Is that a problem just with my feed? If it isn't going to show up, is there a way to remove it altogether?

We will look into it before the end of the week. Thanks for the info...
