Season schedule / Next game module

Hi again,

​

I would like to have a section that shows the whole schedule of a season. At the moment a way to do this seems via the games module, but because there are 380 games in a season it loads them all at once which gives some issues.

​

Is there an option for pagination in this module perhaps? Or perhaps via the "Next games" menu item?

Hi

​

do you have there 380 games in one league?

​

For me i have for example the Calanda Broncos (https://calandabroncos.ch/) where the game plan is on the bottom of the homepage - there are in fact three leagues our teams play (Seniors / U19 / U16) for each of those tabs there will be a module instance - in the module itself i've set a filter for the league (leagues filter)...

​

I've never tough about that there could be that much games while creating this module but yeah i will add an option to only show the next x items aka pagination with the next update - thats a good point.

I've tried something - i have this Version 1.2 Beta Build and i have quickly added a frontend pagination - You will find the update in your downloads area it is listed as FootballManager Games Module for Joomla! Version 1.2 Beta.

​

You can have a look into the Module Settings >> Layout Tab - there you will find the pagination setup. It is just a "frontend" pagination which means it still loads all games - can you please tell me if the performance is good and if hte feature is usable like this?

​

kind regards

​

Yes, per league. So there are 20 teams that play home and away in a season. That is 380 games. For 3 leagues that is 1140 games.

​

Having those tabs as seen on oncecalandabroncos.ch would only work if it did not load all games at once.

​

​

Thanks for the module update, but the frontend pagination does not change anything as it still loads all games.

​

When it loads 380 games in the module the page crashes.

​

A load more button, Infinite scroll, or pagination would solve this I guess, but only if it loads parts of the total amount.

​

​

​

I'm basically trying to create something similar to this setup

https://www.premierleague.com/fixtures

fixtures / results / tables / full Schedule / clubs / players

​

​

Thanks

ok got it - i need to do some changes for that - i will have a look into it but it takes a few days.

That would be amazing, thanks

Hi twoccer

I have released Version 1.2 Beta 2 - it is available in your Downloadcenter.

The Pagination now uses AJAX which means it loads only the first chunk of games on page load, when going to 2...3... and so on the module loads the other games async. You need to download & install this beta manually from within your downloads area here on nx-designs.

​

Could you please test Beta 2 and tell me if your problems are solved?

If not i probably require your exports (teams / locations / games) to have a look into it - maybe there is some data inconsistency idk. As far as i can see the module performance should be much better now when loading a lot of games.

Hi there,

Thanks for the update.

The pagination works great now.

An improvement I would suggest is in the numbering of the pages. It shows the number of every page. Perhaps it would be better to have 1-10 pages and maybe an option skip to the first or last page. Or an extra addition would be previous/next.

​

​

It would also be good to have anchors in the module. So the page will always jump directly to the top module so you see the beginning of the new page.

Thanks again for this update!

Hi twoccer

First Thanks for your feedback!

Yes i'm still improving the beta, first it was necessary for me to know if it would work like this "in the real world" now i can go further and add the fancy things. Please stand by the next version will offer this options.

​

kind regards

Hi twoccer

​

Version 1.2.1 of FootballManager Games Module has been released.

The module supports now Pagination with a limited amount of indexes to display - because of some usability restrictions you cannot limit the count of indexes below 3.

​

Please Note: You have to download the actual version manually from your Cockpit because the update server was not configured in the version 1.1.x

​

Hi Marco,

​

I've just installed and tested it. It's a great update and it works perfectly now.

​

Thanks!

Just one more question.

​

Once a game has ended it can show the score result. This is great.

​

I'm just wondering where the second score (below the main score) comes from, I assume it is the halftime score.

​

Is it possible to not show this second score?

​

Oh nice!

No, this is the counter for "Touchdowns" - it is enabled by default but i added a backend control in version 1.2.2 (a few moments ago) to hide it if needed:

Make sure to update first to version 1.2.2 and then you will find it in ModuleSettings --> Layout --> Section "Eventdata" --> Show Touchdowns.

​

Thanks for pointing that out!

kind regards

Marco

Thanks for the update.

​

Works great with this additional option.

Hi Marco,

​

I noticed with the new pagination in the module, the team logo's do not show after the first page.

​

They only show on the first page.

I see, i will check why this happens and release a bugfix shortly

The bugfix has now been released. It is solved in Version 1.2.3

​

kind regards

Marco
