On my concept for redesigning the front page, one of my requests/proposals was to add an event calendar just on the same way you say:





PS: See here full concept: https://www.thesportsdb.com/forumnew/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4898

Zag said that it will be a summer new feature, so I hope it becomes live in short

It had slipped my mind that this was part of the redesign. It shows the the number of events and times, and if you can filter it to be sport specific, which I'm assuming is what the icons below the date are for, then it would be perfect.

Exactly. The icons below dates are filters by sport (first row) and by league (second row)

Yes inspired by the design I made a start here:

https://www.thesportsdb.com/calendar.php

For now its a seperate page called Calendar, i'm still unsure of the main page redesign but I would like all the features somewhere on the site as its very nice to have an overview. Lots of work still to do on it.

One cool feature I managed to add was the blue arrow showing whats on now. Quite proud of that one, let me know if its accurate.

Just what I needed!

I've been waiting till the morning so that I can check that all the games for that day have been added and none have been missed, but now I can easily check days ahead too, thanks.

Nice! The pre-season thing seems to work quite well now.

New bits:
- Support for strOfficial (referee)
- Support for strStatus (current event status)
- Support for strVenue (stadium or Circuit) *
*Old Motorsport strCircuit field removed *Breaking change*

These fields will be populated by the new soccer importer over time. Germany 1 has been done but still missing some data until season starts.

Tested on NBA games and when you add the venue info while creating the event, the info is not stored. Only gets stored if once created, you edit the event; but even doing this, the info is only displayed on the event, not in league page. Example:

Info displayed in event page:


Info displayed in league page:

Thanks for testing, it was missing from the team vs team logic part.

Also fixed the showing of data on the league pages if it exists. Otherwise it falls back to the home team.

It doesn't look like its pulling the information through on the individual teams' pages either.

While you're sorting out things related to stadiums, could you perhaps change how they're displayed? Currently it looks like its a 2 word limit, could it be changed to a 20 character limit instead?

Sure done, and updated the teams page as well.

Let me know if there are any formatting issues as long stadium names caused issues in the past. I can always reduce the size of the text if needed.

In order to display long stadium names without issues, it could be displayed by applying the concept I done for team page redesign:

Is there a way we can manually submit the match official like we now can for venue?

Not yet, but it might be possible soon. I want to see how the auto importer works first, it should always be correct.

- Fixed NHL livescore and 2020 season playoff events
- Made a start on the stats display template, its quite complicated so wont be a quick fix but I wanted to test the look of it.
- League page with large amount of teams should load a lot faster now.

No problem, I try to add all requests to the todo list and get round the them eventually

Also a quick new feature requested via email:

- Anyone can now edit Goal scorer details for soccer events. This is a trial to see what's possible, I think a better interface might be more of a long term solution.

I've added all of the Premier League scorers to date.

- Mods can now update tv channel countries

The changes I've made aren't taking effect immediately, is there a period to wait before they'll appear?

I've just tested and it seems to work for me. What channel are you trying to change?

EDIT: I wonder if it will only work for new tv listings perhaps? Not quite sure!

I've tried to edit those into Sweden, Japan, and Japan respectively, but it's still showing the channel's original flag.

Yes probably only future tv events shows the new flag.

- Big experiment here... but Event Team Line-ups can now be added manually. Click the pencil next to the line-up to add on any event page.

See as an example:
https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/1032710

I don't know if this is a feature that is wanted or will be used, as its quite time consuming, but I thought might as well

NOTE: No API access yet as its a new structure. Should be easy to add to V2 though.
NOTE2: Limited to soccer at the moment but no reason why it cant be expanded to other team vs team sports.
