Using League Assistant With Your Website
What does "Use League Assistant Data" mean and how do I use it?
For the past 8 years InfoSports has made available to the youth sports community a database that is used to manage the league's teams, sponsors, coaches etc. For more information about League Assistant click here. The Professional version (free 45 day trial) of League Assistant and the free Standard Version of League Assisant supports the exporting of data to the Internet. It is important to note that no phone numbers (except for sponsor's business phone numbers) are included in the exported data. Information which can be displayed on your website includes:
- Board Members names and their position.
- Divisions in your league (for example majors, minors, junior, etc)
- Names of the Teams in each division.
- Managers and Coaches and their position.
- Sponsors. Each sponsor has their own page containing their address, phone number and an "advertising message".
Each of these items are seperately selectable. Team player names, although exported from League Assistant, are not permitted to be uploaded and can not be displayed.
To make your League Assistant data available for display on the Internet please follow the following steps:
- "Export" the League Assistant data to a floppy disk. To accomplish this choose the "Export Internet Data" option under the Admin tab of League Assistant.
- Go to your website on the Internet and select "Administer Site", then "Image/File Uploader". Enter your password to display the file upload page.
- On the file upload page select "Browse" and pick the file(s) from your floppy disk (usually disk A) to upload. Note the files are uploaded one at a time.

- Go back to the "Administer Site". Then on the "Remake Home Page" input form click ON the appropriate League Assistant database check boxes.

That's all there is to it. The information can now be selected and displayed on your website.
