Impossible to add new HTML page from the editor

[Smolky]

Hi. We have created our first competition in Codalab using the Yellow World template

The competition is hosted at: https://codalab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/competitions/1042

We build the competition using the YAML files, but we are having some problems in order to modify it:

We have performed the following tests:

• Modify the text of existing sections. It works
• Adding a new section. The section appears in the admin tab, but it is not display in the competition
• Activating the forum. The checkbox appears as checked in the admin section, but there is no forum tab

We have already tested to open the competition in incognito mode in the web-browser.

In addition, we have added pavao and tthomas63 as admins.

Hello,

Indeed adding a new documentation page seems to not be working. I can see that because when I try to save the edits, I get back to the editor instead of getting back to the competition homepage.

However, the activation of the forum is working. You can see my message in the forum. I think this change wasn't saved in your case because of the problem with the new section preventing to save any changes.

We'll look into the problem of creating new HTML pages.

Hello. I would like to know if there is some new advances with this issue.

Besides, we observed a very important concern. It is not possible to add a new phase in the competition (we know have seen this: https://github.com/codalab/codalab-competitions/issues/2923, https://github.com/codalab/codalab-competitions/issues/2436). We know that we can delete the competition and create a new one, but we have the problem that there are people already registered and that the link to the competition has been published.

I would like to know what options do we have:

• Can we create a new competition and add the participants manually? If so, can we keep the url of the original competition?
• Can the admins add manually the number of phases by hand (3: Practise, Evaluation and Post-Evaluation)
• Can the admins set the number of columns available in the leaderboard. We would like to display: f1_gender, f1_profession, f1_ideology_binary, f1_ideology_multiclass, and average_macro_f1, being the last one (average_macro_f1) the main metric.

Please, let us know the solution as soon as possible.

Kind regards

Hello,

This bug is indeed constraining, sorry for the inconvenience.

Can we create a new competition and add the participants manually?

I don't think that you can add the participants manually.

If so, can we keep the url of the original competition?

No, every competition has an unique URL. You can of course point to a new URL in the "Overview" page of your competition.

Can the admins [...]

It is a good question whether admins have more possibility to edit the competition by hand. I'll investigate the question and get back to you.

Another possibility is to create a new competition specifically for the next phases you want to add. This way it can feel more natural for the participants, you basically just tell them that the next round of the competition takes place somewhere else (you can edit the logo etc. so it feels really like a final phase or so).

As your competition still does not have many submissions, maybe it's better to re-create it from scratch. We'll try to solve these issues in the future.

More generally, the problems linked to the edit menu are summed up here:

We really need to solve this.

Thanks for the response. We finally have created a new competition and we will inform the participants to register in the new competition site.

Kind regards
