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

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/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.

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 !

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.

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 !

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
