CSS and Exposing Invite Functions

Kampinkarl1 · July 26, 2019, 8:46pm

Is there a way to use CSS to modify, for example, a group page’s layout or is it restricted to HTML?
I was reading the OGS APIary to see if there was any way to get a python script to open OGS and Invite people to tournaments. Currently I do it manually and it takes a long time to get through even a few names. Could OGS create a way to invite members of a group to a tournament?

If I recall correctly group page info supports markdown and some limited inline css, certainly not all though. Font-size or color should probably work, positioning will probably not.

Group invites sound nice, in the meantime, any group post sends a banner notification so maybe that could help in getting people to join with less effort?

If you can use some action on the site, them there’s a API call for it

The API is not well documented through. You have to dig through the code to find the right request.

online-go/online-go.com/blob/a29bd1246823d067a6bc506f3b73797334d511bc/src/views/Tournament/Tournament.tsx#L336


            browserHistory.push("/");
        })
        .catch(errorAlerter);
    })
    .catch(ignore);
}
setUserToInvite = (user) => {{{
    this.setState({user_to_invite: user});
}}}
inviteUser = () => {{{
    post("tournaments/%%/players", this.state.tournament_id, {"username": this.state.user_to_invite.username })
    .then((res) => {
        console.log(res);
        _("Player invited"); /* for translations */
        this.setState({invite_result: _(res.success)});
    })
    .catch((res) => {
        try {
            _("Player already has an outstanding invite"); /* for translations */
            _("Player is already participating in this tournament"); /* for translations */
            this.setState({invite_result: _(JSON.parse(res.responseText).error)});

I’m not sure, if I found the right line, you have to try.

and the members of a group

I guess what I meant by expose was that it would be available on the front-end.

Anyway, I’m using Selenium to navigate the site and invite players - it’s super basic. Just a list of strings where each one is a player’s name (haven’t figured out how to translate players’ names with emojis). There’s a loop in which the bot types in a name and then ‘clicks’ the invite button. Super basic, with no regard for rank or anything.
