Okay, this is the first status report that I am doing for this module to keep you guys updated, but also have you guys have a chance for you guys to chime in with any suggestions. So far, it may not look like I got much done, but there is more to it than what you will see.
That is the admin back end so far. What you see there is 100% functional. The drag & drop for the reordering of the default game listing is working, and before anyone asks, the reason there is a drag & drop reordering listing system for the game sis because of an article I read years ago that covered the psychology of the "Serial Position Effect". It basically concludes that people tend to gravitate/remember the first and last of a list, and the middle is meh. Since I wanted this system for the Tournament Champion controls, why not put it for the admin, especially, if this is run for years, it may be nice to have, so you can move them around. Now that it is working, I do need to move the function to the global file rather than just the admin.
The Add Champion function is working, but I am wondering if I want to have a remove system along with a listing of the names of the current/past champions. I am not sure on that. Right now, I have it set up to only allow you to add a champion if they are registered on your site. If there is nobody by the name, it will tell you that, that user doesn't exist. This is done because this TC system is going to PM the champion whenever they get a challenge.
Here is my current list of "Things to do".
