Alpha: VBSoccer Tennis Cricket Formula1 - (others sports are being modified)

[lebanon]

Hi,
These r some additions i am adding to my own forums containing livescores pages, and other pages for tables of major leagues, fixtures, standings and fixtures.
Some of the content is routed through my site including the first 4 attachments, while sports.zip which enables
Soccer, tennis, hockey, baseball, basketball, and american football
Will act as follows : Cron job to download the feeds from my website, parse into database, and the sports.php will accordinaly show which tables selected to users.

Demos are on :
http://www.tchatting.com/forum/livescores.php
http://www.tchatting.com/forum/latest.php
http://www.tchatting.com/forum/cricket.php
http://www.tchatting.com/forum/formula1.php
http://www.tchatting.com/forum/tennis.php


Attention: None of these files will work if you do not have allowurl_fopen_on




All you need to do is upload two files, few images and create two templates using the xml product file included.
Your server must allow you to include remote files ( allow_url_fopen = on )
There is no installer as they are only two templates to add manually.

I am still developing this for further additions so it might follow some updates especially if i was given more ideas.

The livescores page contains a Link to a freebet.php file that i did not include but rather is up to you to create and add your own content page since you cannot modify the body.
Though you cannot modify the table itself but its percentage table thus you can edit the template as you may and just make sure to keep the variable.
The goals.php and standings.php are non vb pages but rather popups, their style is included within the en.css style sheet thus you can edit to match your forum look and feel.

To install just upload the files, add the two templates, and dont forget to link to it from your navbar or header.

May 22nd , added Tennis under further development too.
demo at
http://www.tchatting.com/forum/tennis.php
zip attached
May 25th, added cricket parsed rss feeds as requested by Zia, he also suggested the free feeds to be displayed.
nb: crickinfo.com provides the feeds for free as long as you keep their copyright, parsing technique Copyright 2005 Drew Phillips
cricket.zip attached
demo at
http://www.tchatting.com/forum/cricket.php
nb: in cricket.php FIND
/home/username/public_html/forum
and replace with your actual forum path this setting will actually put a cached copy of the rss feed on your desired directory so you dont overload your server connections

June 02 2006
Uploaded formula1.zip ,
One file to upload and one xml to export 1 template.
Includes, Formula 1 results, Drivers Standings and Constructors Standings

June 02 2006
Added Sports.zip
To Install :
1:Export scorestables.xml
This will create your required database tables.
2: Export ONE of the templates xml files the first one sportstemplates.xml has also links to the previous attached files if installed, the second does not if you are using sports.php alone.
3: upload sports.php to forum root, and owsoccer.php to includes/cron/
4: Add the cron job as described in the note ( See the picture included in the zip file ) and DO NOT change the minute value, it is set to update once per hour, keep it so , as the feeds are updated once per hour too and it will not be any more usefull if you hammer my server with requests !
Finally,
For using any of those add your own navbar or header links wherever you find suitable on your forum.

Attention : I removed sports.php , untill i resolve some communication setting and few other issues, the rest are working fine.

Suggestions and feedback for further improvements are appreciated.
If you use the feeds please click install ! https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_miscactions.php?do=installhack&threadid=114846)

Sports.php is no longer served.

20 Jan 2007 : Updated soccer.zip
changed files :
livescores.php
goal.php ( you can safely delete old goals.php )
standing.php ( you can safely delete standings.php)
en.css ( because of changed goal and standing class names)
images to be uploaded to your forum images directory.
If you are updating, its enough to replace those files with no further editing or installing.

[Jay...]

very nice hack, any screenshots? also will this be covering the english premier league and championship next season?

[lebanon]

Jay, there is two demo links , and yes its covering ALL LIVE SCORES + stats and tables for all Major leagues
check http://www.tchatting.com/forum/latest.php for the list of leagues covered.

[Jay...]

right im gonna install this now!

[puertoblack2003]

Can this be an add-on for vbadvance in a small block it will be cool to go along with the football and nascar block....:banana:

[VaaKo]

is this RSS or something?

[blue6995]

I'm a complete novice at this, so please bear with me! I installed this added the templates etc. How do I view the templates or see the livescores page?

[jluerken]

This hack is only interesting if we can install it fully locally without routing anything trough your site.

I want to translate and modify it and can't do so now.

Also I hate the idea installing files on my system where I don't know what they're doing and transfering.

[Rich]

I was thinking the exact same thing as jluerken. You are obviously pulling the info from somewhere, so why not just add how the info is pulled and let the users install it on their site the same way you did it on your site?

[Code Monkey]

Is it just soccer or can it do any sports?

[Oddjob]

Id love to see MLB with this.........

[Code Monkey]

me too

[chimaira]

Im going to be watching this very closely. one fine hack..

I didn't see that the frst time around. That's probably not a good idea around here.

[hyony]

Can u add Betting with Vbookie?
:)
INSTALL

[nitro]

This is a very interesting addon but I am in agreeance with Rich and wonder why it cannot be fed direct, rather than from your site ?

I would begrudge installing a mod that uses someone elses affiliate id without at least being informed first.
That really takes the edge off it when you are able to add a donate button here with statements such as "Please donate to aid future development and improvemnts" I know not everyone donates but many who really appreciate top addons do.

[Zia]

:) really love it..

but doest it support Cricket ?
possible to cistomize for Cricket ?

[lebanon]

jluerken ,Rich, and nitro,
First, and logically to answer wether it can be harmfull, as a coding it cannot be ! as ANY CODE is actually excuted on my server not yours so that cannot harm your server in anyway and you coders should know that well !
Second, why is it routed through my website, well thats exactly what am trying to avoid as i DO NOT really like the fact of dependency on my site but also as many of you know , there is NO FREE LIVE rss feeds, and this is not free , am paying for this.
The only way to distibute a direct link to the feed is by distributing a zend encoded or ioncube encoded version, and in such case, it will then raise more questions wether its doing anything harmfull or not, as well as its not allowed by vborg in first place.

JumpD, i do have feeds for several other sports, but mainly i started with this because i love football (soccer to americans) so maybe ill add few other sports but first by releasing this on dependency on my website am really trying to figure out cons of this before i get myself on more stuff.

jluerken , to which translation you want to be ? currently i have a french feed of the same source but no more, as also note that am pulling through rss, thus you cannot translate everything !

[bashy]

Nice hack btw :)

Is it just me or is there no FA Cup and no live scores for the premiership (uk)??
Also where do i edit the Free Bet link please?

[lebanon]

bashy, am not sure if thats true, but the rss am subscribed to should provide all major leagues as well as many country leagues.
Ill compare with priemiership schedule and the rss feed and see if am missing it or its not available in first place, if you notice any missing leagues too please let me know. thx

[ForYou]

Hello ,

Is there any way to transleate this hack to Arabic Lang.

And can i add the leagues of arab country

Regards

[lebanon]

ForYou, actually it cannot be translated , as for your info as well, even arabic leagues that are online, their rss feeds providors post their rss in english, if you happened to see an arabic leagues rss feed, then ofcourse it can be done afterwards, but not a website that i know of anyway.

[Rich]

Hello,

My issue wasn't with security. My issue is with the fact that it can't be tweaked and modified. I use very few mods from vb.org that I haven't modified. Is it possible for you to add how you are pulling this, where you are pulling it from, etc.? Those of us that want the ability to do this may also be interested in paying for the same service you are using if we knew all of the details.

Another concern I had was you stating you can terminate this mod at any point. I don't care for that. If I were to install something on my site, 'I' want to be in control of when it gets disabled if that time ever comes. I certainly don't want someone else controlling that!

Now that you have stated this is a paid for modification you have made, are you not violating their TOS? You had to pay for the information (you stated that) and you are giving that to the users on this site free of charge. Unless I am mistaken, that is stealing their paid for service. I am also skeptical in the fact that some of the users on this site could get in trouble for "stealing" this information?

If it isn't stealing the information, then there is a way for us to get the feeds directly from the source, free. That is the only way this would not be considered stealing!

[Rich]

Ok, I have a MAJOR issue with this now. I just downloaded the files to see how this is handled. What the hell is the affiliate code? Are you trying to get users to earn you money by displaying your ads on their site?

The affiliates code is found in the Standings.php file. What is that?! Its also located in the goals.php file.

[lebanon]

Rich , have you heard of agreements ? ofcourse u did.
So before i paid i was clear that am going to redistribute this for my own page popularity ! And thats why my link is forced with the feed, now you know if i dont force the feed, it can and might be distributed without my link.
And since i pay for this and i put effort on this, this is all i am asking for and well you are not binded to neither download it or install it !
Those of us that want the ability to do this may also be interested in paying for the same service you are using if we knew all of the details.
Google for some live scores content providors, request a quote.
Buy rss feeds ( as much as you are willing to pay for + how many feeds)
Parse the rss, include it in a page !:)

Now just a note : When u want a branded service , its their for free, when u get unbranded service , then u pay for a reason no ?


As per your second comment, those are the files am using , feel free to remove the code, but they are not served from my server as you see and the soure is visible :)
I updated the zip file and removed those banners as these were not intentionaly left in the zip file but rather because i never updated those two files after first creation.

[TomasDR]

First I want to say I enjoy this service, my site would be rejected due to content by many of the providers, but I have many European members so this is a fun feature, I also enjoy Football.

One question, you mention.
The livescores page contains a Link to a freebet.php file that i did not include but rather is up to you to create and add your own content page since you cannot modify the body.

Not that I mind since you are paying and providing the service to us for free but it redirects back to your site's freebet.php, I presume there is no way to change this?

[lebanon]

TomasDR , its supposed to reflect request url /freebet.php for your own creation, would you please post or pm me a link to see what it reflected ? So that i can fix it right now.

[Rich]

Rich , have you heard of agreements ? of course u did.

I point out some of my concerns and you turn into a wise ass? You really should watch how you chat with people, especially when you are offering mods...on your site...that have been hacked!

So before i paid i was clear that am going to redistribute this for my own page popularity ! And thats why my link is forced with the feed, now you know if i dont force the feed, it can and might be distributed without my link.

I asked you where you paid for this. Its a simple question that requires a simple URL. Some of us are not interested in making your site popular. We are interested in adding JUST the feeds to our sites in real time. So instead of trying to dance around the question, please share where you "paid" to get this information so others can simply buy the same service and add it to their site without trying to increase your sites popularity.

And since i pay for this and i put effort on this, this is all i am asking for and well you are not binded to neither download it or install it !

I won't be installing anything created by you. I just checked out your site and viewed your ebay modification. You may want to stay on top of the mods on your site, it has been hacked! Here is a screenshot for those that wish to see what I am referring too....since he will likely take it down once he reads this.

(Makes me wonder exactly how secure this mod is!)

[TomasDR]

TomasDR , its supposed to reflect request url /freebet.php for your own creation, would you please post or pm me a link to see what it reflected ? So that i can fix it right now.

Maybe it was something in cache, I apologize.

I just went there to check it and get the link and the link to freebet.php went to my site instead.

Nevermind.

[lebanon]

Rich, true i took it down , but this unfortunate event was really overdue, it was when vb released updates and i didnt and those pages aint even updated thats why i wasnt even notified about them untill this second.
And yes , thanks for letting me know about it, and no you dont have to install anything provided by me :)

[bashy]

Hi m8

Have you found anything out about the UK FA CUP yet for this please?

[blue6995]

Uninstalled!

[Zia]

umm

asking again..does it contains [b]Cricket[b] Score ,also upcomming fifa world cup ?

[bashy]

Hi Zia, it does shows the FIFA but not FA that i can find.....Also no cricket atm!!

[MoothMan]

I liked this...shame its gone, members of my board got v excited about this!

[bashy]

Its gone? is that why i can no longer access the page on my site?

[Robru]

Read this above:
SORRY FOR THE INCONVIENCE , i took this down for modification and also my server is being migrated at the moment with new hardware which will take around 24 hours , i will re-release this with multi-version including more sports as soon as migration of my server is over

[bashy]

PMSL....cheers m8 didnt see that...

Bit silly releasing this then taking it down again for server mods and so on, perhaps you should have waited to release it m8 :)

[lebanon]

bashy, you are right but i have two explanations for that
first the server migration was planned but the datacenter was supposed to let me know earlier and i suddenly saw it down and knew the migration started with no warning (trust me you are not half upset as i am ).
As for the MOD itself, i released it as a BETA because i didnt see any fault then i was jumped off with things i didnt expect, a seperate rss website on a dedicated server is being set by the provider for the feeds to be linked without passing through my website tchatting.com.
They will still go through their website parsed and you can choose to get rss feeds yourself and parse them using my mod or your own !

As for other requests, i did this for football (soccer) because its what me and my community watch and followup, i will try to set up other feeds as per your suggestions as such cricket, nfl, basketball and live lines for sports etc.
Again sorry for the inconvience but this is what BETA is !

[bashy]

Hi Lebanon

Thanks for the explanation, that about sums up most hosts, i do understand
how you feel, I was crapped on from a great height by my last host and lost
no end of data and files!!

Hope ya get sorted soon m8, again thanks for a great hack :)

[Stifmeister2]

If you added NHL it would rock.

[Zia]

As for other requests, i did this for football (soccer) because its what me and my community watch and followup, i will try to set up other feeds as per your suggestions as such cricket, nfl, basketball and live lines for sports etc.!

Helo lebanon, we will verymuch appricitae if u add cricket..all of the cricket we will be gratefull to u.

Thnx

[napukjon]

Cricket Rules! :D

Seems a good mod! Cant wait to get the download back, not unless someone can put it up for me to download for now while the main links offline?

[chapindad]

Could you put up a guide for us to create our own RSS feeds for it. I run a soccer site targeted at youth soccer, HS and Club. So no public RSS feeds exist for me, but I would love to use this hack....

[MThornback]

When you get this back up and running....I can't wait to try it out....especially with the World Cup in a month :) my traffic will go through the roof :D

[Stifmeister2]

The site is up.. Now where can I download this hack?

[Rat1972]

The site is up.. Now where can I download this hack?
idd where can i find it?

Hey lebanon, when can we downlaod this hack? :(

[MoothMan]

When will this be back Lebanon? Was working today :)

[Aeolian]

world cup!! ??

[Bluik]

I'm looking to download and test it on my site too. :)

[lebanon]

the feed is back up and our server is on its new home and serving the feeds.
Regards

[Stifmeister2]

Thanks dude.

*clicks install*

[adrenaline786]

thanks a lot for this. YOU DA MAN lol

[lebanon]

Formula1 addon is almost done, actually is done, but cannot be sure before next sunday to monitor its connection to db and rss feed, etc.
Hopefully ill release it after next sunday round is over :D

[MThornback]

I have minors on my site, and my TOS doesn't allow for betting....will you be adding a way to remove the betting link in a future release :(

[firstrebel]

I am testing this on my dev site and like it. Before I install on my live site I want to put the links on the navbar so only logged in users can see the link. At the moment I have this<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid']">
<td class="vbmenu_control">
<a href="latest.php">Football Latest</a></td>
</if>

What is missing, as the link can still be accessed when not logged in.

Bob

EDIT: Ignore this, it works OK, the cookies hadn't cleared.

[lebanon]

firstrebel but this way if someone knows the link it would be still accessible, if you want it to open only for registered only then before
// #################### HARD CODE JAVASCRIPT PATHS
ADD

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
{
print_no_permission();
}
//////////
MTHornback, well i dont mind changing that as i dont intend betting on my site either , but since i add this into the parser , i can either remove it or change it for all, so il let you guys decide that ! After all this should fit the majority or maybe ill just add a second extension without the links.

Where does this go? Template or php file.

Bob

[bashy]

Hi Bob

it goes in the livescores.php on ya server /forum/ folder

[firstrebel]

Hi Bob

it goes in the livescores.php on ya server /forum/ folder
Thanks bashy. I presume I can do the same with latest.php?

Bob

[bashy]

oo...i didnt think about that, well if it has the same code then i would have thought so, gonna try....brb

[bashy]

Yep it works with latest.php as well Bob :)

[firstrebel]

Tx. I don't know why I asked, all I had to do was try it myself. Been one of those days. Roll on tomorrow.

Bob

[bashy]

No worries Bob, its alway best to hear it from someone opposed to breaking something :)

[firstrebel]

Wrong thread..

Regards

Would you consider having 2 versions? I know its alot of work for you for upgrades etc...but I can't use it till it doesn't have betting abilities :cross-eyed: i'd really like too...so I have my fingers crossed....if not I'll keep it just for myself to check scores :p but I would like my users to use it aswell :)

[dan35]

maybe use this with vbplaza and vbbookie :)

[lebanon]

mthornback, yes its not much work to do so ill be uploading a v2 without bet link,
as for usage with vbookie, actually i will have to download the vbookie and look it up, last time i used it was with 3.0.7 and a thread needs to be created to add a vbookie event, in such case,its not in my coding capabilities to insert which vbookie id into which raw from the parsed rss feed. nevertheless i will be sure if ican do it or not when i look up vbookie.

[dan35]

Thank you, lebanon ;)

[lebanon]

MTHornback, as per your request, ns2.us has hosted the second feed without the free bet link.
All you need to change from your Livescores.php file is two lines
At the url section you will find two urls containing
/soccerfeed/slab
Just change that to
/soccerfeed/nlab

in the two urls , and it should be fine as you wanted it ! Regards

[bashy]

i just tried that and it shows a blank page for the livescores

I changed it back and it works again!

[lebanon]

bashy, am not sure what u did, its only changing the folder from slab to nlab.
I just changed it on my website http://www.tchatting.com/forum/livescores.php
and its working fine as well !

[bashy]

yeah thats all i did i changed the link to show nlab and the scores didnt show

[gwhooooey]

Can you update the instructions?

You say to add two templates, yet it's an xml file.. what do I do with that?

Also it says "Upload the contents of website images to your website url/images ie : domain.com/images/ NOT your forum images folder."... why not the forum image folder? What if I don't have a specific image folder anywhere else on my server.. even if I did, where would a file need editing to show where these images are?

Thanks

PS - This site any use to you? http://www.activescores.com/

[lebanon]

gwhoooooey, well ill update the instructions, use the xml as a product to automatically create your templates.
Because you cannot edit the feed itself which is the case, thats why i used url/images folder which u can create if it doesnt exist, i couldnt use forum path because it will differ from forum to forums to vb, and in anycase i just was easining the job thats all.
Finally, no those are not from activescores.com , am dealing directly with few providors already, few already sell rss feeds which you can use if you wanted to create your own editable parser, such as
Globalsportsmedia.com, soccerstand.com , soccerstats.com, soccerway.com ,goalslive.com those provide the feeds for most websites you see online . But ofcourse you will then need to parse your own rss etc etc, they also offer free iframe versions or banner supported feeds. regards

Worked fantastically :) thank you very much :D

[lebanon]

teepeg, thats because you didnt download the new zip files , when i updated this thread , i uploaded a new zip file , including a change of the host of the feeds from tchatting to ns2.us which is hosting the feeds now.
After you replace the php files then u can do the change to remove the free bet link or keep it.
bashy , i suppose u had the older files too thats why u didnt get the file without the bet link to work ?

[gwhooooey]

Little strange that the Basque vs Wales match wasn't listed as one of the friendly matches yesterday ¬_¬ Any idea why they didn't have it?

[49er]

Thanks Lebanon, i got it all running fine, and very nice it is too. :banana:

[Zia]

Helo Lebanon,

tennis added..

any way...can u tell me..

does this hack will show : Upcomming FIFA Worldcup footbal-2006 live stats and what about Cricket ?

Thnx in advance

[firstrebel]

Good work, a nice addition to the fourm. Thanks. I agree that cricket would be nice also, it is that time of year now. :)

Bob

[lebanon]

Zia , adding tennis doesnt show soccer, its a seperate zip file you have to add it too, they are seperate because basically you dont have to be interested in both.
Also you will need to add your own navbar links and/or customize your templates to show common links for both sports or keep seperate.

As for cricket, i havent found a providor yet, and thats because i lack the knowledge about that sport, maybe if you could tell me what leagues i should be looking for when requesting the feeds it would help :)

[Raptor]

works great - not sure what the fre bet link is for tho -doesnt work here

thnx man....that means this add-ons will show the Upcomming fifa-worldcup football 2006?

and this hack support custom feed? or i have to provide u the rss provider ?
as cricket has lots of league

http://www.cricmania.com/mobile/rss.php
http://www.cricinfo.com/db/RSS/
u can try this two..they are free......

plz have a serious thought

[firstrebel]

works great - not sure what the fre bet link is for tho -doesnt work here
Create a file named freebet.php and put this in it:<?php
print "This facility is not available. Close this window";
?>
Then upload that file to the forum root.

Bob

[lebanon]

Raptor, you dont need to use the freebet.php version read the previous posts to override it.
Zia, thanks for the links ill check them,
Unfortunatly it doesnt allow custom rss feeds, because we parse them manually, where they dont really look the same everyone, unlike news rss where all providors use item and channel tags, in sports everyone uses their own imaginative tags or whichever comes on their mind !
Ill check the feeds and hope to get it done too :)

[lebanon]

Zia,
I have parsed the cricinfo.com rss feeds. and should be able to finish em by tomorrow,
a working demo of crickit info is at
http://www.tchatting.com/forum/cricket.php
http://www.tchatting.com/forum/cricket.php?url=livescores
and there is a box to scroll to the other rss feeds from page you listed
Ill post the script after your review so i dont double work on this one

:) it goes fine man..........

u can release it as beta, by this time i will continuing searching for more rss & will let you know,later on it can be finalize.

can u make a central page : there will the option :
Foot Ball
Cricket
F1

By Kliking On the tab (cricket/footbal/....) user will forward to the related page...


umm ..may be its a off topic:
if we provide another kind of rss feed like movie/games...it can be added to?
we will highly appreciate that..

Thnx.

[lebanon]

Zia, i posted the cricinfo.com rss feeds , as for the tabs, this is a design wise thing and each person would like to edit his templates as he see fit.
When am done ill post em in one template and 1 file ofcourse but i will also leave the seperate files too.
As for other rss feeds, depending on the feed structure, as i noticed cricinfo was generous providing much info by rss, while other might probably just give u soo little info to use on your website, so my answer about other feeds would be dependant on their quality !

[Neutral Singh]

wow !! Can it possible that we could show a live score of a cricket match on forumhome which is updated everytime user refreshes the forumhome page. Live cricket scores would be awesome attraction on many forums...

yeah! that'll be nice..

[lebanon]

actually yes it can be done easily, as i set the data in new template , you can easily set that since the parsing info and the rss feed link are available to you, if u need help about creating them in forum home let me know, ill post instructions.

[hitmanuk2k]

I seem to be having trouble locating the template which I need to edit in order to stop showing background images on the live scores?

[dragula_31]

in installation notes:
Add the two templates with their respective names.

i don't understand this... please help.. what i'm suppose to do?

[Stifmeister2]

Create new templates.

[Acers]

excellent stuff lebanon.. just add f1 now :P

[Gizmo5h1t3]

unbleieable hack this....lovely work m8...lookin forward to updates

[Oddjob]

Will MLB and NFL be involved in this?

[TomAlien]

I installed the hack, and I get an error message.

Warning: main(http://www.ns2.us/soccerfeed/slab/livescores.php): failed to open stream: Connection refused in /livescores.php on line 96

Warning: main(): Failed opening 'http://www.ns2.us/soccerfeed/slab/livescores.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /livescores.php on line 96

What can I do?

[lebanon]

Oddjob,yes will be available .
TomAlien, as i specified you need fopen_on in your php.ini

football(soccer to US guys), baseball, basketball, hockey, american football,tennis, F1, and cricket
All the above feeds will be available to you in the following method.
I have successfully finished testing on my own website but i need time to design the output pages ( which am really lousy in my design taste)
The final release will be in such way: ability to choose which feeds you wish to download in a config file from the above feeds ( default is all)
Feeds will be allowed to be downloaded on 30 minutes intervals per IP
(the feeds on my web will be updated at that much time so will be useless to hammer my website)
Feeds will be inserted in your DB and output will be from your DB too, which will help lessen both load on my and users servers.
Cron jobs will be necessary to automate rss downloads.

Requirements you will need to use my final release : fopen, fread,fwrite

I hope ill be able to finish soon, but i havent touched any design yet and all test i made are clear php files with not even tables nor fields design !

[Gizmo5h1t3]

sounds good lebanon...lookin forward to the update.

[Raptor]

thanks for this hack - excellent !

[Raptor]

Can u add Betting with Vbookie?
:)
INSTALL

absolutley :)

[Coleccromos]

Congratulations,good hack.

clik Install :bunny:

[acco]

new to all this, I've just clicked install
tnks for the hack ;)

[Zia]

hi Lebabnon,

any idea abt the ETA of the final relase ?

[lebanon]

zia, i suppose it will take few days, the new hack is much different than beta and it run totally from your server with only one cron job to download the feeds from mine. And i do have a job in the day so i only have an hour or two in the afternoon , but surely before this week ends. regards

[Zia]

Hi Lebanon,
Nice to know abt that. :)

umm would u mind to say..why ur not releasing those hacks vbHoroscope,vbimdb etc here?
Plz give a serious thought on it..releasing them in vb.org?

[lebanon]

zia, simply those hacks do not comply with vborg policy, and even on my website you have to agree on the terms, as they provide you the function list to re-post the information but you need your own authorization to do so

[Zia]

ahem ahem ahem Lebanon,
sorry to say that im totally in dark abt the policy...
what ever it is the policy..

shall we get support about those mentioned hack (vbimdb,horoscope) ?
thats my point man.gez u reliaze it.

:)

end of the week is knocking at the doorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrr

Knock Kncok,hello.. Mr.vbsoccer & Mr.Vbcricker is home now or comming to home?

[lebanon]

Zia , i have uploaded the rest of the files.
But still am not satisfied with the design, I hope some designer would volunteer to submit a better templates design or so !
Anyway , i will review the files later to see what would be needed to be modified after your reviews guys. thx

[soulface]

lebanon, in one word 'Simply gr8'

ops! two word i mean :p

[lebanon]

bashy, yes obviously we all face this error , because when i was testing the hack there was no games and the feeds contain ' character for the minutes value, i am fixing this asap and in the next games today feeds will not contain any more 's

[bashy]

ah...that explains that then :o
In the sports.php will you be adding Forumla 1 as a main link?

[lebanon]

ok i set the soccer feed to be cleaned off ' character before they are written on text. so i suppose that is fixed , as for formula 1 , yes i might be adding it to sports, actually ill try importing everything into that sports.php file, but the seperate feeds actually took more time than i have right now , maybe ill gather more opinions and work it out in one single hack that everyone likes.
When i started this all i wanted was football ( soccer ) results to add on my website, didnt even think i will consider other sports ~!

[thedvs]

I know this is a small problem but on my vbsoccer latest.php display I got a huge white column on the right and cant seem to get rid of it, which spoils this awesome hack :( Its not a template issue because the livescores.php shows the results fine. (using tren_z skin)

[lebanon]

thedvs , it would be easier if you provide a url ( private or here) to better see the problem. regards

[RFViet]

I'm confused, if I just want to install Soccer only, what steps I should follow !!??

[lebanon]

RFViet, you only have to install vbsoccer.zip thats all !

[RFViet]

RFViet, you only have to install vbsoccer.zip thats all !

yes, in the readme file you said: upload content in forum folder to your forums actual folder

Add the two templates with their respective names.

Upload the contents of website images to your website url/images ie : domain.com/images/ NOT your forum images folder.

So, where are the 2 templates ???

[lebanon]

RFViet, the templates are the xml file, you need to import that using your vbulletin-admincp-addproduct

[Robru]

Ok?, Germany - Costa Rica 4 - 2, but no scores in the results ...., what now? (GMT +1 Western Europe) :)

[erjavid]

Sorry for my english, i'm italian.
Very nice mod, tank you very mutch
can i have in italian langage????
if yes .... please specify te template modification
tankyuo
Click install :)

[Breathex]

how can we add Turkish leauge information to this brilliant hack?

[lebanon]

Am hoping to continue development of this hack very soon, but i got stuck with loads of work (my actual daily job) and thus am unable to fix few glitches, although the attached 4 files are working just fine !
The problems am having are in the sports.php ( which is not listed right now in the zip attachments)
Also as when am done, i would be probably obtaining more leagues and feeds but till then, as i first mentioned i did this because am a worldcup fan and thats what mostly interests me now, and i started adding more sports as per your requests:)
Hope to be able to set language translations and others soon.

[ithf]

ok...i downloaded the soccer zip file...it came with 3 folders...templates, forum folder and images.

I uploaded the content forum folder into my main folder.....via ftp
the template folder...vbsoccertemplate..i uploaded into includes/xml/vbsoccertemplate via ftp

and the mages...

when I go to forum.domain.com/livescores.php...just white page..nothing happens

[firstrebel]

uploaded into includes/xml/vbsoccertemplate
No. Import it as a product.

Bob

[ithf]

I got it...thanks

[firstrebel]

My server error log shows that mydomain/forum/livescores.php looks for /images/im.gif but does not find it. Where is it?

My server error log shows mydomain/forum/latest.php looks for left_top.gif, left_bottom.gif, right_top.gif, right_bottom.gif. Where are they?

[lebanon]

bashy, i did disconnect sport.zip and added a notice about this, there will be a release for more sports but right now am really too busy with work and worldcup :) When this is over i will have free time again and will re-release a sports version, and probably vb 3.6 will be stable by then and i can make sure it works on both.
As for now am sorry not to be able to support this hack or release updates before the end of worldcup

[GafferSports]

This no longer works. The sites are down

[bashy]

Yep i concur.....all down...db errors left right and center....I have removed

[firstrebel]

Any news about why these are down, or is this another mod that is dead in the water.

Bob

[manutdvn]

Yeah, I doesnot work anymore.

[acco]

I just unistalled it today :( but I notice yoursites demo is now working.
Will their be any future updates?

[Stifmeister2]

It's not working now.. :S


I get this error:

[lebanon]

oright i guess i owe an explanation for the rest.
First of all the mod will be back live in few days .
Reasons were unlikely out of my control , first as i explained this is a service i do pay for and requires my attention, unfortunatly and as some people know there was a war in my country and internet work was the least of my concerns.
The demo is working because i fixed it first for my own site, and i will update the ns2.us files for others, i will also have upgrade to 3.6 and make sure all works there too.
This should take a couple of days.
Sorry for the inconvience but again , things were not actually under control lately, so excuses everybody !

[bashy]

No worries m8, When ever your ready, Hope all is well over there?

[Stifmeister2]

Really no problem man. :)

[Gizmo5h1t3]

used to use this ....just re added it again.....hope its resolved soon, cracking little hack this....

[mrahul]

hope the problem vanishes away & one suggestion.

making it restricted to specific usergroups would be a good idea :)

[lebanon]

thx all for understanding,
I have almost re-finished it (because i lost my sourcecodes, i have rewritten it and both for 3.5 and 3.6 ) and its working fine.
Ill start updating files one by one starting tomorrow :)

Thank you. We are waiting for this.

By the way, Your livescore for soccer is working fine. But mine still gets error.

Thank you.

[lebanon]

Hi, mine works over the same server as tchatting.com , for other feeds i set them on dedicated server 2 , which will be working very soon, i just finished codes yes , and right now am resetting dns for ns2.us and should upload the files, test and do the rest in a day hopefully ,
Just to say, due to the whole month which i couldnt work at during the war, a lot of stuff was delayed so till now i cannot give more than 30 minutes or an hour a day for those scripts, while am doing so much overdue work.
Thanks again for understanding, scripts for vb3.5 will be up very soon,

[lebanon]

of this minute , the files are working fine and all is up !

I also have upgraded my boards to 3.6.1 and the files are compatible on my board so i suppose no changes would be needed even if you upgrade.

[mrahul]

watz this freebet mate ??? I see some thing new this one ? there is no freebet.php file uploaded or attached in this hack :s

[firstrebel]

See my post #90 at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=986705&highlight=freebet.php#post986705

Bob

[lebanon]

oh well, sorry about that, as i have mentioned in my first release, freebet file is a file that is up to you to create , actually in my first release i created TWO versions one with this link for users to link to their vbookie or other file betting game for example and one without bets at all .
I will do add a second file again , currently am more considering updating it to do more , such as create posts or threads about a game to discuss it but am having a problem with duplicates search before creation or doing that without causing the server to highload , i am not yet satisfied with any tests and i will not post files i myself would not use. Regards

[mrahul]

thanks bob updated it :) & nm lebanon dude :)

[c4p1r00s1]

where is the sports.zip
i couldnt find it

[Gizmo5h1t3]

Attention : I removed sports.php , untill i resolve some communication setting and few other issues, the rest are working fine.


read the post mate......

[Devil Woman]

I am not sure if this has already been answered sorry if it has but I noticed that when I clicked on the free bet on the live scores page it come up with freebet.php, is there something missing with this hack or is that something that is due to come out?

Also is there anyway of directing the free bet link to vbookie?

Thanks

[lebanon]

devil woman , yes its been answered before , this is a link to add or redirect to your vbookie, betting service, free links , whatever u want , or add a file of your choice of content ...

[Devil Woman]

How do I change the link to where it goes? sorry to sound so dumb, I did check in the template file but couldnt find anything.

Thanks

[lebanon]

its integrated with the feed, so instead of changing it , just create a file called the same name.
In that file , you can either auto redirect it to another service or just set any content.

[mrahul]

does this work on 3.6.x ?? as I get whitebackground page :-s

[lebanon]

yes it works fine under my 3.6.4 board , and if u get a white page review the installation then. Regards

[Stifmeister2]

VBSoccer isn't working.. It says cannot find "goal.php".. It's not working on your site either lebanon.

[lebanon]

Stifmeister2 , hello and thanks for your notification , there was an update i should have received and followed and i have been busy ,
however ill be fixing that by monday :)
Regards

[Stifmeister2]

Thank you lebanon. ;)

[lebanon]

I think the error was minor , i have fixed that and all seems to be working fine ( as it appears on my website at least )
However, if you notice goals not showing this is not an error it will be fixed from the provider part as i think my part is done, and if there was any more changed files ill update this thread.
Thanks for Stifmeister for mentioning the error or it would have been left un-noticed

changed files :
livescores.php
goal.php ( you can safely delete old goals.php )
standing.php ( you can safely delete standings.php)
en.css ( because of changed goal and standing class names)
images to be uploaded to your forum images directory.
If you are updating, its enough to replace those files with no further editing or installing

[Stifmeister2]

Thank you very much mate. :)

[lebanon]

The script will no longer be supported on this post.
However, am posting a new version , in the 3.6 mod section, compatible with both 3.5.x and 3.6.x .
Basically its the same Mod.
Changes are :
Head 2 Head for all games showing on Live scores.
Popups of : Standings, Goals, Head2Head all no longer require style changes and will use your vbulletin style directly.
Am still looking for an idea to replace the Free Bet link with something interesting or removing it at all.

[Stifmeister2]

Ok thanks dude. :)

Someone mentioned about inserting the feed into vbadvanced block.
Any progress about that?

I can't use the "free bet" in my score page. Can Lebanon change this to like, tips.php.

Thanks.

[lebanon]

brian, what exactly should the block hold ? Its not doable in my opinion for now, as i provide the free data feed as included flat file not as rss, i only provide rss feeds for custom scripts.

If you wish, install the vbsoccer for 3.6, its compatible and updated than this version and includes few bug fixes.

[Lahoria]

i 'm very intrested, nice done

[pplayerz]

does this wrk for mlb,nfl, nba, nhl?

I went to the website where he advertises that you can get the whole version with all the extras and could not find much information about it - I asked on the forums whether there was more information available and no one answers. Site has not been updated for ages - I am talking about the demo site that is listed there,

I had a question about whether this was able to be customized so you could select which of the competitions you got live scores from?

[Gersfan]

Could somebody continue or look into this for VB 3.7
