[Request] Add historical players in lineups & timeline |

 Ovokx Posts: 1,700 Joined: 2020-06-17 | Hi Zag, It would be great to be able to add historical players to be displayed on events related to season and team in order to be able to add lineups and timelines for past events. Nowadays, if you want to add mentioned info to, for example, 2005 UCL Final, all the displayed players are from current season in both teams, and moving retired players to their past teams, add info, and move them back to retirement is a tedious work. Thank you! | ||

Ovokx Posts: 1,700 Joined: 2020-06-17 | By using player transfer history you will find team and season I guess it can be hacked by moving the player from retired into the team temporarily, then back again once added to the timeline. yes, as I already mentioned, this is the only way to do it, but too tedious to work with zag | ||

zag Posts: 3,331 Joined: 2020-03-23 | OK I had a think about it and managed to write a little feature to merge both the current lineup and the historical lineups in one list. It's not massively obvious but the historical players are listed below the current players in the drop down box. To add a historical player, you would need to add them using the "Former teams" feature on the player page first. All former players should now show up on the lineup feature. Example https://www.thesportsdb.com/edit_event_lineup.php?e=1571096&h=1 avzubkof, Ovokx | ||

Example https://www.thesportsdb.com/edit_event_lineup.php?e=1571096&h=1 Just tested on 2005 UCL Final: Milan vs Liverpool and historical players are only shown for home team (in this case, Milan ones). Away players are on the DB and added correctly on the "Former Teams", but they don't appear in the drop down box, as per example Jerzy Dudek: https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/1060046 https://www.thesportsdb.com/player/34170682  zag | ||

Timeline is a little more difficult, still looking at that... EDIT: OK timeline also fixed. It will show away players also for things like own goals. avzubkof | ||
