Calendar Enhancements - Sports predictions

First of all, a big thank you to nico_swd 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 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>';

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 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

And for my members predictions league (different from calendar but also interacting with it and fully integrated with vb) I use this free one

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

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