Creating and publishing news articles has been a feature of the site since it's beginning. Version 1.1 has updated the News feature in a big way. A News Digest page lets users browse News by four major categories: General Fantasy, leagues, Teams and Players.
News articles for a League, Team or Player display their information alongside the article. Clicking through to those pages is much easier than before.
Updated in version 1.1 is the News Editor. It's more accessible to now pick a League or Player for an article. The selection appears as a preview on the Editor page as well. These previews add flexibility in writing pieces for specific League or Player pages or the general new Digest page.
Once written, the page is available to see what it will look like in the exact way that it will be delivered live. You can go back and keep editing or accept the article and publish it for all your League mates to enjoy.
OOTP Fantasy Leagues comes with a full Site Administrative control panel. It lets you configure and run your Fantasy Site with ease. manage your users, Leagues, News and all the processing events needed to make your site run.
For version 1.1, the Admin panel comes with new tools, an updated display of the list of Leagues, and handy alerts for users requiring activations.
A new feature added to version 1.1 is the League Status Box. This box displays critical operations that must be performed for the site to run. Before the season begins, the status box shows items that need attention before the first sim is processed.
As the season progresses, the Status Box will alert to any Leagues that have invalid Rosters as well as if Player information is up to date with the current sim.
Version 1.1 features new tools in the League Admin page. These include new visual alert callouts of pending owner invitations or team requests, outstanding Waiver Wire claims, and pending League Trade offers.
Another important new tool is the Roster Status page. This tool lets Commissioners validate if all teams Rosters are valid or if any teams are not compliant with the League's rules. If there are any issues, the page will display them for the Commissioner to either alert the team owner or administrate themselves.
OOTP Fantasy Leagues is updated to work with the latest and greatest release of OOTP, Version 21, released in March 2020. The mod supports previous versions as far back as version 18 as well.
StatsLab has become an essential companion tool for those running Online Leagues. OOTP Fantasy Leagues runs seamlessly alongside with StatsLab, adding Fantasy features but not interfering with StatsLab.
