[Deptheads] Paperwork Updates!

Thu Jan 30 13:55:13 PST 2020

Pulling up the Sign Up Sheet page, I was immediately bombarded with a long
string of error codes - the same line repeated 20+ times.

*Notice*: Undefined index: old in
*/home/stratcon/Domains/strategicon.net/admin_event_sheet_list.php
<http://strategicon.net/admin_event_sheet_list.php>* on line *47*

*Notice: Undefined index: old
in /home/stratcon/Domains/strategicon.net/admin_event_sheet_list.php
<http://strategicon.net/admin_event_sheet_list.php> on line 155  *

(The line 47 error was only once; the line 155 was a large number of
repetitions)

I don't have a sheet to import the Sign-Up Sheet page's data into; my
sign-up sheets have always been a Google Docs sheet that I borrowed from
someone else (and a MS Word sheet before that, but that was 10+ years ago).
AFAIK, I don't have any software that's really set up for a data merge, at
least not to the degree that it'd be the sort of sheet we're looking for. I
can copy-paste it into a Google Docs spreadsheet, but that effectively
gives me a summary page, not a set of sign-up sheets.

"Would you like another drink, sir?" asked the bartender.
"I think not," replied Descartes, and promptly vanished.
