Poker Calculator HELP!!

[mckennaronnie]

Hi,

I own a website http://www.masterpokerplay.com
I am trying to isert a poker odds calculator into my website but i dont really understand how to do so.
Here is all instructions i was given:

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
protocol: default http://
domain: your domain name, must be set to your exact domain.
e.g. www.yourdomain.com is not equal to yourdomain.com
scriptUrl: the path to the getOdds.php script
cardPath: the path to the card image
oddsPath: the path to the odds flash
gamePath: the to the game flash
backGroundImage: the path to the background image (optional)

Here is what i guess to be correct, though i really had no idea what to enter:

<config>
<protocol>http://www.masterpokerplay.com</protocol>
<domain>www.masterpokerplay.com</domain>
<scriptUrl>ftp://masterpokerplay.com/www.MASTERPOKERPLAY.COM/oddscalc/getOdds.php</scriptUrl>
<cardPath>ftp://masterpokerplay.com/www.MASTERPOKERPLAY.COM/oddscalc/card.jpg</cardPath>
<oddsPath>ftp://masterpokerplay.com/www.MASTERPOKERPLAY.COM/oddscalc/odds.swf</oddsPath>
<gamePath>ftp://masterpokerplay.com/www.MASTERPOKERPLAY.COM/oddscalc/game.swf</gamePath>
<backGroundImage>ftp://masterpokerplay.com/www.MASTERPOKERPLAY.COM/oddscalc/background.jpg</backGroundImage>



Sorry for such a long Post, any advice would be great as i've spent days trying to guess what to do and searching net for help.

I don't know this poker odds script (you should give a link to the official site so I can see some documentation) but there are a few things you can try:

protocol: I think it's "http://" only, without the domain
scriptUrl, etc: Why ftp:// ? Try http://www.masterpokerplay.com/oddscalc/...

Let me know how it goes, cheers.

It's probably this:

<config>
<protocol>http://www.masterpokerplay.com</protocol>
<domain>www.masterpokerplay.com</domain>
<scriptUrl>http://www.MASTERPOKERPLAY.COM/oddscalc/getOdds.php</scriptUrl>
<cardPath>http://www.MASTERPOKERPLAY.COM/oddscalc/card.jpg</cardPath>
<oddsPath>http://www.MASTERPOKERPLAY.COM/oddscalc/odds.swf</oddsPath>
<gamePath>http://www.MASTERPOKERPLAY.COM/oddscalc/game.swf</gamePath>
<backGroundImage>http://www.MASTERPOKERPLAY.COM/oddscalc/background.jpg</backGroundImage>

Hey,

I tried this:

<config>
<protocol>http://www.masterpokerplay.com</protocol>
<domain>www.masterpokerplay.com</domain>
<scriptUrl>http://www.MASTERPOKERPLAY.COM/oddscalc/getOdds.php</scriptUrl>
<cardPath>http://www.MASTERPOKERPLAY.COM/oddscalc/card.jpg</cardPath>
<oddsPath>http://www.MASTERPOKERPLAY.COM/oddscalc/odds.swf</oddsPath>
<gamePath>http://www.MASTERPOKERPLAY.COM/oddscalc/game.swf</gamePath>
<backGroundImage>http://www.MASTERPOKERPLAY.COM/oddscalc/background.jpg</backGroundImage>

and it looked like it was working but when you ask it to "Calculate" then an error message appears saying "No Connection with Server, please try again later"

Here is a link to the Poker Calculator on my site: http://www.masterpokerplay.com/Poker Calculator.html

If anyone else has any advice then please please help.
I have tried Emailing owner of Poker calculator but have had no reply so i dont know if problem is with me or at his end

Dude, I told you to try changing the protocol to "http://" only:

<protocol>http://</protocol>

But anyway, isn't there a documentation for this script?

 

[mckennaronnie]

I changed protocol to "http://" only but it hasnt worked.


I didnt get any documentation at all with this, thats why i've emailed owner but im waiting on reply.

Only instructions i was given was :to edit the config.xml file.

Anyone else with any suggestions please give me your views.

Thanks for your time.

Okay well I hope the owner gets back to you soon. Good luck!

Hello Ronnie,

I am also trying to install this (thanks for the ip on the config section - very vague instructions!)

In IE I get the same Connection message as you, and in FF it just hangs. If I navigate to my OddsCalc file I can see it is getting data back from the webservice, but it's just not working.

I see it is working on your site - can you please share how you fixed it?

Thanks

It really should http:// in the protocol. Else everything looks fine. Maybe try a trailing slash after your domain. Also if it's asking for your domain and protocal it really shouldn't be needing the full address of each path. Try:

<config>
<protocol>http://</protocol>
<domain>www.masterpokerplay.com/</domain>
<scriptUrl>oddscalc/getOdds.php</scriptUrl>
<cardPath>oddscalc/card.jpg</cardPath>
<oddsPath>oddscalc/odds.swf</oddsPath>
<gamePath>oddscalc/game.swf</gamePath>
<backGroundImage>background.jpg</backGroundImage>

Though looking at your site everything seems to be working fine apart from the get odds part. So make sure that the getodds.php path is correct and case sensetive. Type it in your address bar to see if its correct and if there are any strange fatal errors that show.

@pokerDIY

You have a windows server the script uses php.

Hmm - no - sorry to be misleading - the config file at the top of this post is from the person who started this thread (and probably has been changed). Here is mine:


config>
<protocol>http://</protocol>
<domain>www.pokerdiy.com</domain>
−
<scriptUrl>
http://www.pokerdiy.COM/portals/6/site/oddscalc/getOdds.asp
</scriptUrl>
−
<cardPath>
http://www.pokerdiy.COM/portals/6/site/oddscalc/card.jpg
</cardPath>
−
<oddsPath>
http://www.pokerdiy.COM/portals/6/site/oddscalc/odds.swf
</oddsPath>
−
<gamePath>
http://www.pokerdiy.COM/portals/6/site/oddscalc/game.swf
</gamePath>
<backGroundImage>/oddscalc/background.jpg</backGroundImage>
<urlWhiteSpace>%20</urlWhiteSpace>
</config>

I am running .NET and using the .asp file (which seems to return data from the webservice when hit)
