League Administration Component Environment


This is the LACE plugin interface for League Administration Software version 7 and newer. Our developers at All American SportsWare have created several plugins using this interface design, and are pleased with the ease with which it works. From the links on this page, you can either read the documentation to LACE online, or download the LACE SDK package, which contains the same documentation, along with two sample plugins:
  • Plugin -- Strictly a sample; This plugin contains much helpful internal documentation about what the parts are for, and demonstrates how to use project files to create APP files for the plugins in VFP; However, it has no other purpose: basically, a "Hello World" plugin for Dos or Windows.
  • Passes -- This is a DOS only plugin that we developed to add the "Player Passes" functionality to LAS. Since the creation of this plugin, this function has been completely integrated with LAS, and so this plugin was never updated to work in Windows. (Perhaps this would be a good exercize for a learning plugin developer to accomplish: Note that you must use FoxPro v2.6 report files in all versions of LAS (including all LasWin versions) because this is how las creates the text-only reports with winprint commands)

We do recognize that having intimate knowledge of the design of LAS gives us many advantages in this area, and that the documentation for LACE needs quite a bit of work to make.

Therefore, we welcome questions and requests for advice to help you to be productive in creating your own plugin reports and features. Your inquiries will help us add documentation in the necessary areas, while not excessively detracting from our own development efforts on other projects.

Our preferred method for inquiries is by email to support@AllAmericanSportsWare.com. We will send replies as soon as we can; Be specific in your questions and include source code in order for us to respond more quickly. We also offer LACE plugin development advice consulting over the phone at US$75 / hour billed in hour increments to your choice of credit card.
