30.10.2012 - Sports Predictions v.1.3.0 - timezones are added. The dates, stored in the DB, are now all UTC. These are presented to the users based on the current timezone in effect: either the PHP's default one or the chosen one from the list. Requires PHP 5.2. The admins must pay attention when entering the date and time of a sports event. If a New Yorker enters a football event, which will be played in Sydney, he has to set the date and time in one of these two ways:
a ) (easier approach): Set the current timezone to Australia/Sydney (by selecting it in the drop down list in the upper right corner of the page) and set the local start time of the game.
b ) Knowing the time offset between the America/New York timezone and the Australia/Sydney timezone, calculate the starting time in New York local time and set it without changing the timezones.
This is necessary because the dates, stored in the database, are now UTC and the component turns all the dates entered into UTC dates, based on the current timezone in effect.

24.04.2012 - start of public sales

Currently you may assign points for the following prediction outcomes:
1) Exact prediction: the predicted result is an exact match (default 3 points);
2) Winner & points difference: guessed winner and points difference (default 2 points);
3) Guessed draw, points - not: guessed draw but not the points (default 2 points);
4) Guessed winner: guessed only the winner (default 1 points);
5) Wrong prediction: wrong prediction (default 0 points).

The points awarded can have negative value, e.g. for a wrong prediction.


The user standings are generated on a monthly basis. Currently there are two additional criteria which you may use to solve score ties (when two competitors have the same score):

a) Score row: the earned points of each player are compared in descending order. The one who have more higher points scorings will be rated higher. E.g.:

Player A has won the following points: 5,5,1,0 (4 predictions)
Player B has won the following points: 5,3,1,1,1 (5 predictions)

They both has a total of 11 points. Player A will be ranked higher as he has one more 5 score compared to player B.

B ) Time fund: the one who is placed his predictions earlier will be ranked higher. The Score row criterion precedes this one, if both are enabled.


Admin:

1. Tournaments. Prior to creating a sport event you have to create a tournament. If a tournament is unpublished it (and all the sport events associated with it) will not be visible in the frontend.





2. Teams. Prior to creating a sport event you have to define the teams which will participate. If a team is unpublished, all the sport events associated with it will not be visible in the frontend.

For a person vs. person sports the sportsman's name may be set as a team name. You may set a team flag if you want to.





3. Sport Events. Here you may define the sport events you want your users to predict on. You have to set the time and date the event will take place on as well as the home and guest teams and the tournament the event is part of. Once you have created and published the event your users will be able to place their predictions for its outcome in the frontend. If you have entered an article for this event, the event's name in the frontend will become a link to a page displaying this article.

Once you have the event's final result you have to enter it in the backend on the same page. All the users who has placed their predictions for this sport event's outcome will be given the relevant points.

If you have enabled the Auto standings option in the component's settings, the current standings will be updated automatically. Otherwise you have to go to the Current Standings tab and click on the Update standings button in order to update the current standings.





4. Predictions. A list of all predictions made up to this moment.



5. Current standings. The user ranking for a given month. If the Auto standings option is disabled you may update the current standings by clicking on the Update standings button.



6. Settings. If you want to reset the users' scores you may do it by clicking on the Reset scores button thus deleting all the user predictions history and scores.
The Options button takes you to the component's options panel, which has 3 tabs:

a) Basic settings. Here you can set the points awarded for the different prediction outcomes;



Standings. Auto standings + additional ranking criteria for solving score ties;



c) Permissions. Joomla ACL: who may access the component and who may adjust its settings.



Frontend:

1. Sport Events (matches). Here on this page the users may place their predictions for the sport events that are not yet begun. After they have entered or updated their predictions they have to click the Save button in order to save their (updated) predictions. If there is an article written for a sport event in the list, the sport event's header will be a link pointing at this article. The user must be logged in in order to access this page.



2. Best Experts. The winners ranking for a given month. The user's username is a link pointing at a page with the user's predictions details.



3. Predictions history. A list of all predictions made by now. The user's username is a link pointing at a page with the user's predictions details. Various filters are available: by name, by tournament, by month.

Fatal error: User id must be presented! in /home/bw005200/_sub/oko/components/com_sportspredictions/models/userstandings.php on line 291

Could you help please?

If after this problem is again present, post again here result, but we will be able to review problem tomorrow - today is Bulgarian national holiday.

I will take a look!


You must change accuracy calculation method from simple to advanced. With simple method user must guess only margin to get minimum error of 0. With advanced method user must guess exact score to get minimum error.


This is strange.I will take a look. Can you send me link?

in accuracy calculation method there is two options, normal accuracy and simple accuracy, i have normal accuracy, how do I switch to advanced method?

as for standings changing, yeah basically users that have the same pref rating keep changing positions in standings every time you check them, here is link


http://podosfairaki.com/component/sportspr...ngs&sp_cats[0]=2&sp_sort_cols[0][sortcol]=games_played&sp_sort_cols[0][sortdir]=DESC&sp_sort_cols[1][sortcol]=pref_rating&sp_sort_cols[1][sortdir]=ASC&Itemid=128


if you check user that is number 1, out of 3 games he only predicted one with exact score yet he has 0 pref rating

This post has been edited by michalis: Mar 4 2014, 11:08 AM

I tried it, but still does not work...

Hello, I have following questions:

1. how can I change the accuracy calculation method in the version for joomla 3? I want to make the ranking in that way, where the tipsters are collecting points for their predictions and in the ranking table you can see how many points which tipster has.

2. I dont find any explanation what does the Probabilistic Rating mean and how is it calculated. The documentation for this component is very poor.

Please help

Thank you

Filip

filip, when you go to sportspredictions component in joomla admin panel, you will see on the top right an options button, from there you can change accuracy calculation method. there is no method were player gets points, they get a pref rating based on a statistical formula, just go to the manual, it gives you the formula and some explanation. it is included in the zip file you download

Hi Michalis, thank you for your reply. The formula is quite complicated, I think, I dont unterstand it at all. And I am affraid, my players wont understand it as well. Can you pls explain it in words?

well, the jist is, it gives you a rating based on how close your prediction was to the final result, the more accurate your prediction is, the lower your rating. so perfect prediction (exact score and winner) = 0 rating


the rating is calculated on three parameters from the look of the formula, a) predicting the correct team to win, B ) predicting the correct number of goals and c) predicting the correct score

Sports Predictions update for joomla 2.5 users!

Latest version for Joomla 2.5 is v.1.4.6. Changes:

1. By customer signal we detect that component content is not shown with some templates(The World News II - Gavick Template).
Problem was usage of CSS class with the same name(clear) in the component and template. This duplication was causing main content div of the template to be with visibility:hidden.

Issue is fixed by moving all content of all views in new scope.

<section class="com_sportspredictions">

And changing all CSS selectors from direct to scoped. Example change:

.clear {

becomes

.com_sportspredictions .clear {


 class_clear.png ( 226.55K ) Number of downloads: 3

Hi.

There is bug with latest version for joomla 2.5

If I choose to have just 1x2 predictions with tabs, when I change tab, predictions are turned into scores predictions.
The same happens if I click on Sports Events again.

Thanks.

Hi again.

Is there a way to show extended standings (like how many games played, won etc) or do I have to modify the code?

This is a lot of basic functionality missing from this component. Maybe you should have a look at vbsoccer for vbulletin which is similar to this component but has all the functionality needed to run a proper competition (it's only drawback is that it does not have 1x2 predictions which I need)


Thanks

this is a great update that adds a lot of power, thank you

@sveltosss, Both versions are different - joomla 3 version have different extras than joomla 2.5 version. You may use version for joomla 2.5, yes. You need more options and more games inside?

Just use Asian Handicap - is additional extension for Sports Predictions with three new games inside. Asian Handicap is separate component with additional price (will be published tomorrow).

Asian Handicap documentation. With this extension you can make the REAL money, you can make real betting site.

What I need for the time being is extended standings (Played,Won,Lost) and the bugs to be fixed.
I will never buy a component again without a demo version. Screenshots are only for presentations and cannot show bugs.

Thanks.

I dont know about verson 2.5, but the joomla 3 version has very detailed standings, including played, won and lost


also if you think component has a bug just let 3d design know, they always fix the problem for free

How to use sorting in sports predictions >= 2.0.3 for joomla 3.x


1. You have two directions
1.1 ASC - stands for "Ascending". This will order from smaller to bigger
1.2 DESC - stands for "Descending". This will order from bigger to smaller

2. You have sort priority. Sort priority is defined by position of the criteria from top to bottom.(see pictures)
Criteria with lower priority is used only when two or more rows are equal by criteria with higher priority.

Example data:

id=1, name=aav, score=1
id=2, name=abv, score=1
id=3, name=abc, score=2
id=4, name=abc, score=6

If sort is by "id" ASC result will be 1,2,3,4
if sort is by "score" DESC result will be 4,3,2,1
If sort is by "score" DESC and "name" ASC result will be 4,3,1,2
-- Here rows 1 and 2 are with equal score and are sorted by name
If sort is by "name" ASC and "score" DESC result will be 1,4,3,2
-- Here rows 3 and 4 are with equal names and are sorted by score

3. You can use many as possible criteria for sorting to ensure that there is no rows equal by all used criteria.
