Can the logic be changed so that if the central entry list file (entrylist.json) is not found within the path defined in the “Central Entry List Path” within Server Options it reverts to the entry list defined within the Championship race being started.
We are finding that if the central file is not found, it is not loading the entry list defined for the Championship and no one can access the server as a driver.
Hi,
Thanks for getting in touch, at the moment the way to avoid this would be to set the “Central Entry List Path” to be empty, then the Championship Entry List will always be used.
That Central Entry List Path is never checked or used by the Manager, it’s handled by the server itself, so it may not be feasible for us to alter the way it behaves. I have created a ticket for us to take a look at the possibility though, thanks for the request.
Thanks
Thanks for the response.
As an alternative solution, If there was a way to remove the “central entry list path” entry via an API that would really useful as we automate the creation of our entry lists based upon our web site.
Having to manually clear the field out is somewhat problematic when we have several Champs running on the server.
You’re welcome!
I’m afraid at the moment there’s no possible workaround, but from having an initial look I do think that we should be able to check for the file defined in the “Central Entry List Path” and instead send an empty string to the server only if the file isn’t found.
If I’m correct we should be able to implement the requested behaviour in our next update.
