Multiple Ranking Systems

[theSage21]

Instead of just one ranking system it would be nice to be able to rank competitors using multiple ranking systems as mentioned in #30

PRs for this issue must include:

• HTML template to show the rankings
• python code to generate multiple rankings based on user attempt history

[theSage21]

@arnabsinha99 could you take this up?

[arnabsinha99]

Yeah alright. I would need help in the HTML part though.

[theSage21]

Perhaps you can do that once #34 is finished?

I can help with that.

@HeroicHitesh Sorry for the delay.. let us continue with this issue.. Do you have any sources which I can refer to learn how to include Python codes in HTML? I use Python 3.6.5. I found this link here but this syntax does not seem to work in VSCode 2015.

[theSage21]

Why do you want to include Python inside HTML?

[arnabsinha99]

When we want to print the ranklist consisting of various usernames, I could not get any method other than using a Python for loop inside the HTML code. But then the problem is that how can I use the variables in server.py in the HTML code.

[theSage21]

Let's not reinvent PHP here. Could you open a PR and let us look at the code?

[theSage21]

As for the python + html you'll need to use bottle's simple template language for now

[arnabsinha99]

% for name, rank, score in people :
<tr>
<td>{{name}}</td>
<td>{{score}}</td>
<td>{{rank}}</td>
</tr>
% end

This is the part of the code from Rankings.html . First of all, there is no variable such as "people". Second, this code is being printed as it is in the browser. I needed help with this issue. Although, I will use template functions only here for using Python code in HTML. @theSage21

[theSage21]

@arnabsinha99 please open a PR. There are so many things that could be going wrong. I need to see the code before saying anything. At the very least post a screenshot of the browser page that is showing this behavior.

For this issue can we just have one overall ranking and individual contest rankings for now?
