Showing Live Championship Standings⁠›››

Hi all,

We're broadcasting a league and want to have a side bar showing the live championship standings. I've came across this: https://gist.github.com/NickThissen/bb7166c33eea64a6d7dbb3cb91d3bf8e

But to be honest, even after reading through the script above I cannot comprehend how to incoporate a spreadsheet into the theme, add/minus points, and then list them with the highest points on top.

I know it's asking a lot but if someone could help me better understand this (seeing as I'm not good with coding) I would be greatly appreciative.

Thanks for your time!

Cheers,
Ben K.

The script you linked shows two things:

1. How to manually read a csv file.
2. How to assign champ points (read from the csv file) to a driver in a specific position.

This is not exactly what you want, it will let you show the amount of championship points someone has but not their position in the championship, nor will it sort the drivers by champ points.

I have been getting similar questions from more people lately. I think it may be a good idea that we add Championship info to our driver classes. That will enable us to add a new Data Order that sorts by championship points / standings. You'll still have to manually set the champ standings via a script but it will be much easier that way. I will think about it and get back to you if I implement it.

We'll release the update that supports champ standings soon, still needs some testing. For now I already made a short post about how to use them, hopefully you can figure it out from there:

Thanks Nick! You are the man! :)
