Jim 15 Posted November 2, 2016 Hello! We've been working on a dashboard for our team to have up on projectors, TVs, share with donors and sponsors, etc. In doing so, we decided to make it available to any team. All you have to do is go to this page and enter your Extra Life team ID: http://nerdery.life/dashboard. I've attached a screenshot of a random team that I pulled from Extra Life's homepage. The DNS is still propagating, so you may see some weird errors from name.com, but I expect that to be resolved in 24 hours. We are trying to be respectful of refresh rates to avoid slamming EL servers too bad, but let us know if this causes any issues and we can discuss further. Let us know how it goes! 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

k2offsuit 1 Posted November 2, 2016 Agreed, thanks to you and the team for your hard work on this! I can see a lot of teams and guilds getting some great use out of it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean Rooney 438 Posted November 2, 2016 This is fantastic. Only way it could be better is if the lists (team roster and recent donations) constantly scrolled and repeated so you could put this up on a screen and not have to touch it, it'd cycle through your whole roster (not just the top 18 or so) and more than whatever the last few donations are. Don't get me wrong, I'll be using it. It looks great and shows more info at a glance than the actual team page. Thanks so much! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

binarycupcakes 22 Posted November 7, 2016 I just wanted to say: this was AMAZING for our group! We had this on stage in between our tournaments and sponsor reel; it was SO GOOD. I loved having a spot to read off all of the donations that my team members were getting, loved the competition for people to be our top fundraisers to be on the board (people were coming by to update me on how close they were getting), just generally loved it. My only suggestion: the team total could be bigger (take over the whole banner at the top? ). But thank you! This was exactly what my group needed and we loved it a lot. Love from, binarycupcakes and Team 27427 / yegextralife Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neat tool, however, my team is not found when using the ID number from the team page URL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bacchanalian 158 Posted July 12, 2017 Same as @ThirdEchelon I tried inputting my 2017 team and it throws an error. Is it not currently active for 2017? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 15 Posted July 12, 2017 That's correct. We need to update it to work with 2017 data. We were looking for feedback as we get back into the code. I'll update here when it's working with the new data. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 15 Posted July 17, 2017 A quick-fix is in place so that it will now work with 2017 data. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
