Sports predictions

[Lionel]

First of all, a big thank you to nico_swd (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=121446) He gave me the entire ajax code
Thank you also to Abe1 for trying to help me.

Second, this hack while complete for me will be incomplete for you. I am releasing it as a base so you can tailor it to your needs. If you don't know php stay away from it as I don't guarantee support. This is released mainly as a guide if someone else wants to elaborate on it. As I stated, it was done for my needs and serves my purpose fully. I use it for soccer, but that could be used for any sport.

What's missing for you?

1- You would need to find a way to add actual scores results.

Unfortunately, I use a totally dynamic system that feeds that info for me in another table and I had no need to create a control panel.

I suggest you alter the event table and add 2 fields in there: homescore and awayscore and add the mini control panel at calendar edit.

2-You need to add your own jerseys. Each jersey needs to have the same name than the team.

3-You will not have the dynamic info as far as game report etc...

4-You will not get the list of winners (linked automatically)

What does this hack do? It adds a prediction system for any kind of sports and allows your members to predict the outcome.

Unfortunately, this could not be a product, because there are no hooks where I needed it.

You would need to:

run a query
edit 1 file
edit 4 templates
upload 2 files
add a frontend redirect phrase
create a dedicated calendar for sports and remember its id. You will need to replace mine (which is 4) with yours.
add some custom fields to that calendar
The first two fields are mandatory and must be named Home and Away if you change that, then you would need to change all templates.


This takes into consideration the dateline_from and prediction will automatically be closed at that time.

To see the full scope of the system click here (http://www.haitiwebs.com/index.php?page=soccer) and click on a calendar date to see predictions.

TIP: If you need jerseys images for NFL football teams or other American sports, look for the vbux addon for sports which has a bunch of them

P.S. I also use it with the Events Forums hack. If anyone wants that, I'll post the changes I made in there.

to make it cross browser compliant, change

document.getElementById('button'+ form.eventid.value +'').innerHTML = '<a href="predictions.php?do=remove&eventid='+ form.eventid.value +'">Remove</a>'

into

fetch_object('button'+ form.eventid.value +'').innerHTML = '<a
href="predictions.php?do=remove&eventid='+ form.eventid.value +'">Remove</a>';

[kemo1991]

nice for my nfl predictions.

[phpdevrus]

hmmm nice you should instead tweak vbookie to make this an installable product :-) but nice.

[Hornstar]

This has great potential, I may be able to do something quite good with this. Thanks.

[Lionel]

hmmm nice you should instead tweak vbookie to make this an installable product :-) but nice.

I use vbookie together with that also. and this cannot be a product no matter what. It is located at the foreach loop of the custom fields.

[jackceltic1888]

Yes has great potential, but dont think I will be installing it just yet.

Hopefully somebody can improve the idea, with a conrol panel ect...

Well done!

[Lionel]

with vbookie.

It's really too bad I did not make a control panel to input scores results. But you have to realize that with my system, with just one click, I get score results, game report with scorers, minutes scored, who get yellow/red cards, members winners, overall competition stats etc... etc...

[Greek Wizard]

Yes has great potential, but dont think I will be installing it just yet.

Hopefully somebody can improve the idea, with a conrol panel ect...


Well done!

I concur.

I will watch for this in the future.

[ChavMagnet]

v.nice thank you

[Rat1972]

For me it will be wonderfull if this hack (with controlpanel and everything) will be made. Maybe one of the coders, will do this, if not too bad ;)

[Lionel]

Everything is more involved if you mean like on my site. But with control panel should not be too difficult at all. I just finished adding the winners list and the vbbux payout

[S S0DEN]

Can someone please make this hack a little easier to install?

[adiboy.net]

Can someone please make this into a prediction league?

[Lionel]

you mean something like this (http://www.haitiwebs.com/index.php?page=soccer) and like that (http://www.haitiwebs.com/haitianforums/soccerteams.php) or that (http://www.haitiwebs.com/haitianforums/league/index.php?opt=schedule) ? :cool:

if there is enough interest, I could do something close to it.

[Rat1972]

I am very intrested. :-)

[lepresident]

Idem, i 'm very intrested.

VERY VERY MUCH INTERRESTED...:rolleyes:...

Now I'm kinda forced to have another mainsite next to my forum, just because there's no decent (Soccer) Prediction League for vBulletin.
Your site looks perfect, though. Maybe I can get this thing to work on my site anyway...

Thanks in advance...*hint*

[iranthavan]

If it can be for others games like cricket too it will be rocking :)

the basis for it is the database structure of ccleague that I modified for vbulletin plus created some modules.

[Littlerocket]

This would be great if it was something non-techy people like me could install. It's exactly what I'd love for my site.

[fishhub]

can this work for 3.5.4? TIA

[cipciop]

I don't find this string in calendar.php :

asort($custom[options]);

I'm use vbulletin 3.6.4

[wIrEs]

well, just by reading at the topic thread many ideas came to mind, first of them was, NICEE!, then after reading users posts, i realized it didnt had much i want.. NHL game predictions or even just to display scores, like have each team games from the team calendar for a given year and display the page for each team on the forums, somewhere, then get final scores from NHL.com. I go too far some times, it only takes a dream and people behind to make it happen...

[SportsZone]

I would like to see this hack be made too :D

*bookmarks thread*

[SportsZone]

Thinking about it, it would be great if this was integrated with vBookie, so members can bet on the predictions too. If only I knew how to code!

[mcyates]

yes would be great.

[Lionel]

If you use the forums events hack, then whatever you have in calendar displays in showthread where you can have vbookie.

[iahead]

Somebody help in developing the mod further a bit

this mod will be awesome

[peterpigman]

I would love a one for the premiership, i run a predictions league but it is all done by ourselves. Something like that would be awesome

[Foxsake]

I run a soccer site and this would be awesome, if i can integrate with vbookie that would be fantastic.
Will be watching this one and hoping......good luck;)

[Lionel]

Well some good news. I just started to include non championship games (which are not part of my main system), which means that I will need to develop an independent interface for inputing those lone games scores.

[taumau]

VERY VERY much interested in this MOD! :rolleyes:

[Littlerocket]

Sounds great Lionel.

[taumau]

How is it coming?

[parabat]

Yip, looking forward to your handy work Lionel :) :up:

[Zia]

Ahha..

logivally Jersy cant be shown...but country name is just fine..

could it be done?

*clicks install for hering good news

[Lionel]

Had to put it in the backburner, championship is over, with my country the champ :-)

[Zia]

umm if u need some base idea....what needed to be add..Plz
see this

vbSoccer (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=114846&highlight=vbSoccer)


This for ur idea what could be added :)

thnx..waiting to hear from u

[MsRachel]

This would be great if it was something non-techy people like me could install. It's exactly what I'd love for my site.


I agree..i dont know much about php so i cant install this...im searching through ALL posts (if you cant tell by the person above me, the date)..i looooooooooove this..this is the first ive seen in 3.6 (unless i passed it somewhere?) ..is anyone working on this..? Kuddos to all the developers..:up:

[Lionel]

you guys could look into this (http://www.predictionfootball.com/Home.html)

with a tiny bit of work, you could integrate it (http://www.haitiwebs.com/forums/predictionleague/) with vbulletin

[skorzguy]

This is a cool idea for a mod. American Football would be awesome.

[Lionel]

30 years in America and I still don't understand that game where everybody spends half their time bending, and why they call it football :confused:

[gwhooooey]

How exactly?

[Lionel]

you've got to understand php and mysql, i can't support that... if you do, i can hint you this: alter table user and add the missing fields from predictions... that will instantly make all your vb users predictions users and then you will have to do all appropriate edits in predictions.... if you don't understand them, don't attempt, i will not be able to support that, at least for now.

[ehsanix]

yuuuuuuu

Well I'm gonna be starting a football forum over the weekend, so that's why i'm interested in it... I haven't actually downloaded the footyprediction thing yet but I could do the mysql bits... just not sure what i'd have to do in regards to the php.

[Invalid ID]

Great.. can you please make it for Cricket?

[Coleccromos]

I am interested in this application for my forum and my users. I don't have very clear as it works I am Spanish and my English is not very good
I will continue investigating as making work him, at the moment it discharges it

[SBlueman]

Does this work with any cash or points mod?

[iran-egold]

I do below steps:

1) run a query (predictions.sql)

2) edit 1 file (calendar.php)

3) edit 4 templates
- calendar_edit
- calendar_edit_customfield
- calendar_showeventsbit
- calendar_showeventsbit_customfield

4) upload 2 files
- ...forum\clientscript\ajaxpredict.js
- ...forum\predictions.php

But, I dont know how do other steps:

5) add a frontend redirect phrase (how)

6) create a dedicated calendar for sports and remember its id. You will need to replace mine (which is 4) with yours.

7) add some custom fields to that calendar
The first two fields are mandatory and must be named Home and Away if you change that, then you would need to change all templates.

Plz help and guide me for steps 5,6,7.
If I have mistake in steps 1..4, inform me plz.

6-another vb function to add new calendars
7-further customize the newly created calendar.

Refer to vb documentation for all 3 steps.

[Coleccromos]

[Lahoria]

what is the diffrentce between this and vbookie ?

[v12kid]

would this work for basketball and american football?

[deafluckyirish]

I am interesting to have this kind of prediction for sports. I am trying to set up sports league for my website and forum.

If anyone want to help me. PM me.

Thanks,

[Coleccromos]

Me for but that attempt it I am not able to make it work

[Fac1]

Nice mod. Would it be possible to add college basketball to this? I'd be willing to help out.

[SilverBoy]

Iam intresting in integrating vb with prediction league script Lionel, I have prediction league on my site, but I wish to rewrite the script like a complete plugin for vb, but badly Iam new with plugins system (I was using vb3.0.x for along time) so I don't know from where I have to start.

If some body have a good documentation on programing product's and plugins maybe the dream plugin will be rise.

[orkyn]

^ agreed I'll be waiting for this plug in...

[music legend]

me to

[cloyal]

Would love to see this for the NFL, I would do it but as it sits right now I just don't have the time.

[parabat]

So Lionel, we have your permission to hack and use your scripts to create a mod???
Your script looks for a template called "soccer_palmares"
Can you please give me an idea of what this template looks like?
-PB

[Lionel]

sure... soccer palmares should not be in there

[Digma]

I see that the same people are still after the same thing as 2 years ago. You would almost think that with this kind of attention someone would have seen the 'gap in the market'. ;)

Good to see some progression compared to last years! :)

As like you, I am still looking for a prediction league integration for vB.

[Lionel]

OK. I got the message. I will be putting out a script, but it will be commercial.

WOOOHOOO!!!! Nice one Lionel :up:

[Coleccromos]

Thank you Serious lionel an entire detail on the other hand

[Lionel]

My site is geared towards soccer and is very, very involved. I'll have to make it universal so it could accomodate any sports.

[Coleccromos]

To my for example interests me a lot, a lot of east pluging but after a lot of time I have not been able to start it in my forum.

My forum is also of soccer players' letters and I take time looking for a system or of fantastic league or as this pluging

There are some great leagues scripts out there. For example predictions league. There used to be ccleague pro etc ....

this league script (http://www.orlandocastillo.com/portfolio/) is one of the basis for my soccer section. Thta's the one I use for data input which also updates this prediction script. It's free and is a league type.

For my national soccer team, I use this paid script (http://www.tpl-design.com/tplsoccerstats/)

And for my members predictions league (different from calendar but also interacting with it and fully integrated with vb) I use this free one (http://www.predictionfootball.com/Home.html)

Nowhere. I did it myself for my site :-)

[Coleccromos]

Nowhere. I did it myself for my site :-)

Ups! you that she knows how to make this type of things.

I for the moment have to try to make it or to expect the disinterested publication from somebody.

Thank you lionel, I will continue investigating

[CLF]

Does anyone know if there's something like this for NFL, NBA, MLB?
This would be great if there was a product.

[Lionel]

Look at my signature. I am about to release vBsports, for any sports. Will have standings, stats, predictions, fantasy and plenty more.

[Gersfan]

I'm massively interested in this prediction league thing....

It would be absolutely brilliant If you could get the whole one Mod that had this, predictions, league, stats etc... Maybe even work with Vbookie..?

What's VBSPORTS?

[CLF]

Look at my signature. I am about to release vBsports, for any sports. Will have standings, stats, predictions, fantasy and plenty more.

Looking forward to it :)

I guess you gave up on this vBSports project. Oh well... :confused::(

[Lionel]

Not at all. I had to stop for a while so I build a cart system and a support system for my site. Now that both are done ... I should be able to knock this down. It's 90% done.

[gamerscms]

would be really cool to see this as we use vbookie at the moment for betting on our xbox forza GP :P

[Lionel]

I've just started to transfer it to my live development. In one day or two, it will be on the demo section of my site.

[stickskills]

Looking forward to the demo being put up, kinda interested in this. :)

[Lionel]

looks like it will be up in the next 30 minutes :-)

[CLF]

[derbi]

do you will update this mod to vbulletin 4?

[Gamelobby]

How is this working in 3.8 ??
