Recently I extended the Eventlist extension for Joomla! to allow my netball club to add the results of fixtures to their site as well as the fixtures which are managed using eventlist.
It was actually much more straightforward than I expected so here's a quick rundown of the changes:
- add two columns to the jos_eventlist_dates table to hold the scores
- add them to the class by editing components/com_eventlist/eventlist.class.php
- edit the sql statements in components/com_eventlist/eventlist.php and add in our new columns
- adding input boxes to the admin interface to administrator/components/com_eventlist/admin.eventlist.html.php, just a couple of input type="text" boxes
- adding a new column to fixture lists in file components/com_eventlist/eventlist.html.php (not taking account of the lovely flexible width administration tool in the admin interface) and putting the results into each row
The scores default to 0-0 and show as 0-0 when there are no results - netball doesn't really finish with no goals scored so its safe to assume that this means no result in this case! Last weekend our match finished 40-28 which is about average.
Hopefully this is interesting or useful to someone - if nothing else it will remind me what I changed next time I come to do something similar or further modify this!
