Template talk:NBA game log end

Update

This template is in desperate need of an update; it uses the old espn nba link format. However, as I cannot figure out how to do it, I will need someone to help me carry out the update.

The new espn links are in this format: http://espn.go.com/nba/team/schedule/_/name/X/year/Y/seasontype/Z/, where X is the three-letter team abbreviation, Y is the year that the season ended, and Z is a number from 1 to 3. 1 gives the preseason game log, 2 gives the regular season game log, and 3 gives the playoffs game log.

I was thinking some code along the lines of this:

Pre-season: {{NBA game log end|three-letter abbreviation|preseason=yes|end_year=2009}}
Regular season: {{NBA game log end|three-letter abbreviation|regseason=yes|end_year=2009}}
Playoffs: {{NBA game log end|three-letter abbreviation|playoffs=yes|end_year=2009}}

There would also be different text shown for each type of game log:

Pre-season: 2008–09 pre-season schedule
Regular season: 2008–09 regular season schedule
Playoffs: 2008–09 playoffs schedule

Can someone please help me out here?

Possible Fix

The following should correctly load the pre, regular, and post season for all teams: [{{{schedule|http://espn.go.com/nba/team/schedule/_/name/{{{1}}}/year/{{{end_year|2013}}}/seasontype/{{#ifeq:{{{playoffs}}}|yes|3|{{#ifeq:{{{preseason}}}|yes|1|2}}}}/}}} {{#ifeq:{{{playoffs}}}|yes|{{{end_year|2013}}}|{{#expr:{{{end_year|2013}}}-1}}–{{padleft:{{#expr:{{{end_year|2013}}} mod 100}}|2|0}}}} {{#if: {{{playoffs|}}}|playoff|{{#if: {{{preseason|}}}|preseason|season}}}} schedule]

However, there are a couple of teams that espn uses a different abbreviation for:

Golden State - gs
New Orleans - no
New York - ny
San Antonio - sa
Utah - utah
Washington - wsh

I'd make the change, but I'm pretty new to this and I'm not completely sure what I've done it what is wanted. It seemed to work just fine in the sandbox, but it could be I just didn't test it right to find the broken parts. Trooperomulo (talk) 21:30, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
