15th July 2007

Created a small application for exporting the player list into XML.  As its standard XML you can import this file your application or if you like using spreadsheets you can get Excel to load it. 

It exports a lot of information, much more than is available from the Alt view players page including some useful stuff like which tactic are they in, which country are they from, if they are injured,  if they are at training camp, ... well lots of really.  47 fields worth of info.

You can download it from here:

http://www.fab.dial.pipex.com/mz/mzplayers.exe

To use it type from a command window:

    mzplayers -user user -password password -o filename

Where:
    user is you managerzone username
    password is your managerzone password
    filename is the filename where you going to store things e.g. (team.xml)

Hope you find this useful. Future releases will include other stuff including training reports, matches, etc.  If you have requests let me know.

Also added a method of searching the MZ FAQ courtesy of Google.

Added a section on player values in the Player from information I extracted from wanttostrokemypuppy .Thanks WSTM by the way.

22nd May 2007

Updated the Links page.  (well actually I put one in :) )  .  Done updates to the Youths page.

29h March 2007

Somewhere along the line in the restructure I lost the Transfer section, its back and updated.

27h March 2007

Minor updates to Getting Started, Players and Stadium and Expenses.

22nd March 2007

Played about with a system for getting player info without having to log in.   Its good for quickly checking your own scores too.   Had all sorts of permissions issue but finally got Internet Explorer version to work and can get it to work on Firefox if people find it useful. You can access it here .  If you find this useful let me know and I can make it a permanent link from the menu. 

17th March 2007

Updates to the form page (thank you to jerdefox and wanttostrokemypuppy ).  Updated the stadium styles to include the capacity numbers (thanks dantoe). See stadium styles.  Minor changes to the Coaches and Training.

Update 2 - Gave the  stadium calculator a new look.  Fixed it so looks as good in Firefox as it does in IE.  Made the TAB key work decently now. much quicker navigating around.  If you find any problems let me know.

11th March 2007

Ok, finished the bulk of the site revamp and will be working further updates on the stadium planner as well as some pages that people collaborated.  Hope you like the new look, like to say it only took me 5 mins but well it didnt.....

Update 3 for the day.  Got lots feedback and corrections.  Special thanks to big_green_shoe for edits and some donations from his web site, Matttombstone for edits and this new article on Player Skills and for wanttostrokemymonkey for work on the numbers for the new stadium calculator (coming soon).

Update 4 for the day.  New stadium calculator is up.  Its pretty accurate on income and seems totally accurate on facilities costs but it does take into account the clinic but more feedback required.  A further thanks to wanttostrokemypuppy who spent an hour or (probably a lot) more checking the numbers and helping me getting them right.

Lastly, if you want to see how your stadium evolves check stadium styles

4th March 2007
