Generate diplomas automatically #51
Comments
I already do it automatically in InDesign, via the CSV export of the participants (see 'export_all' etc.) :) |
@mhrz, thank you for your advice, but, firstly, |
I guess it depends on each LOC, but for IPT 2016 and IPT 2017 it did the job :) I don't understand what you mean by "it doesn't provide the desired extent of automatization". Could you please explicit? InDesign provides the ability to input a csv file and fill a set of document with the infos. Basically, I generate all the diplomas with a single click in InDesign. Is it not what you mean? But why not adding the functionnality in IPT Connect and let the LOC decides what they wish to do? |
@mhrz, first of all, you should: Moreover, for example, in Russian language verbs in past tense differ for genus. For example, in English: The name are the only difference between two sentences.
I don't know whether there are the same issues in French or not, but at least in Ukranian they should occur =/ The 'desired extent of automatiation' is: |
Sure, do it if you want and the LOC will decide what's better. I think there are more important priorities to work on right now since we make the diplomas with success and easily every year for the moment, but feel free to do it if you wish :) Just note the csv export is done in real time by just accessing the URLs/views "export_all", "export_participants", etc. (or smth like that, I don't remember exactly how I named it). |
Templates will vary from year to year, and from tournament to tournament so I don't really see the point of having templates already in the software. What can be useful though is a more flexible export function that gives the gender, rank, team, number of points, etc... that you post-process with an external design tool. Anyway @nickkolok, feel free to experiment ! |
Again not a strong opinion on this. This being said I see no harm in implementing this feature (except for the time that requires doing so), and the LOC can decides afterwards if use it or not, as Maxime and Vivien suggest. |
As Sebastian's comment. |
@vbonvin, @david2457, the main page changes on year too. Should we throw it away from the repo? However, I suggest to implement the following mechanism for participants' certificates. There are three files:
When export of the certificates is requested, then:
I mean that
@ijustbsd, does it sound sane? |
Some progress can be found here if needed: |
It would be extremely useful to generate diplomas automatically with given template. Now organising commitees of some tournaments are already doing this by programs, but that programs are self-written and inconsitent.
For example, while organizing Voroneh Local IYPT, we made a
*.fodt
(LibreOffice unpacked XML) template, a plaintext file with participants' data and then filled the tmplate with a self-written program. It seems to be more useful than filling every diploma manually, but less useful than having such a system as a part ofipt_connect
. Note that (at least in Russian) there is a slight difference in diplomas given to males and females (in verbs and adjectives).Moreover, it should be great to create diplomas for best reporter/opponent/reviewer automatically.
If we spend 10 hours now and therefore save 1 hour between the last fight and the closing ceremony, it's worth of the time.
