We are starting a team website on Iscore (Yverdon Golgoths).
We visited quite a few sites to get an idea of the design that can be achieve.
The base of all the web sites look very (early) 90's. Has any attempts has been made to go to a different and more modern base/design?

thanks

You have the freedom to embed pieces of the iscore site into another site. Take a look at mine (link in my signature).

More advanced users can use API. Do a search for more information on this.

Hope this helps...

Early 90's? IE did not come out until 1995. Netscape came out in 1994 under the name Mosaic. What browser and sites were you using in the early 90's that look like the iScore Websites?

Like mprusak says above, you can use your own website and use IFRAME to embedd iscore pages, but that will still be using the iscore layout. Using the API you could use your own design. I'm currently testing my own Joomla component based on the API at http://uat.twins4.nl" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

We love what you have done with the API. Any chance you will be able to make the Joomla component you have created available to others?

Sure no problem, just mind that its not perfect yet! Ill post some download links later, its a joomla component as well as a content plugin to show a boxscore in an article and a module to show stat leaders.

...and that's what I meant by more advanced users ...very cool!

Just to clarify, you can embed pieces of the iscore sites into your own without using API and without using the iscore base design. My site displays the Stats, Game and Roster pages from the iscore site, but does not use the default layout at all.

I like the use of the API. I looked over your site and one thing I noticed was the three digit numbers for many of your players. I'm guessing those numbers aren't actual jersey numbers. Are you using a numbering scheme for some reason? Just curious.

Haha, interesting you noted that. The numbers are the registration numbers at the dutch baseball federation, i need them on a form after the game. If i forget them we get fined, by adding them as jersey number i always have them in my pocket (iphone) when i forget my paperwork. So, saves me money and has nothing to do with a scheme!

Allright,

below the first two files, the component and the stats leaders module, boxscore plugin will follow later (still got my password hardcoded in).

Manual:
- install two files below.
- set team name, password default league (click on options in joomla toolbar)
- now you should be able to add the iscore menu types and the stats module to your site.
- change logo.png in the /components/com_iscore/assets/photos/ folder to your own
- add 525 by 330 pixel pictures of the players. filename must equal [player guid].jpg.
- note that the component is still caching weekly, change the line $cachetime = (60 * 60 * 24 * 7); //one week in the /assets/chaching.php file if you want to change that. (or press clear cache button manualy from the component)
