Lionel,

I am all for this (as you know)! :D

[vBcover]

that page (http://www.haitiwebs.com/haiti-page-soccer.html) has lots of features on it (have to dig). Vbulletin calendar is implemented on it so you can input scores directly on it, with ajax, when betting. And if you dig further you will find a lot of stats... so that is just to show that it is already done. Fifa refers to us. So does wikipedia. And the Haitian Soccer Federation gets their own info from us :-)

We have history from 1932. Members can create their own teams etc ... And... it does not have to be just soccer! Could be any sports.

[Regs]

Any chance this will be available as a series of products to purchase by August 2008?

[vBcover]

chances for that are excellent

[Regs]

Excellent!

Please let me know if you need any beta testers, I would be happy to help.

Cheers,

Regs.

Thanks. I am just giving it a few days, to finalize the automatic download and to make sure that folks are up and running smoothly so I move on. Then it will be fast as most of these are already up and running on my other site. Just a matter of fine tuning and packing as a product.

Looking forward for that!

[GrendelKhan{TSU}]

sooo pumped for this...we havea tounament coming up actually that would be perfect for it.

btw, I didn't see one but.... is there a ladder system with it as well?

[vBcover]

I am not sure what a ladder system is. I use tournaments and brackets.

[auspool]

any chance at al this would be ready in 3 days ???

i know its soon but thats when our rugby league season starts

thanks'

[vBcover]

None whatsoever. I haven't worked on this for 3 weeks now

[ShadMan]

I'm insterested as well. {subscribed}

[DannyGOT]

Very interested, eager to hear of any developments.

*subscribed*

[vBcover]

Development will resume shortly

[reotto]

As far as the publishing of content will this work closer to vBherald or vBmagazine? My site is really a sports site, but we need content to update as we post stories. Let me know. I know what vBherald offers, but if vBsports is close to it and specially made for Sport sites then yoou have a purchase coming. Thanks.

[BIG RED]

I would more likely prefer a auto update feature in a newsletter or magazine. This is certainly exciting news. How would the sports and herald versions differ then?

Thanks

[Greeney03]

Can't wait for this!

[vBcover]

I am putting the final touch on vBcart and vBhelp (multipurpose help system) so I can go back to vBsports. I had to do it because with vBcart, people will be able to download right away.

[Greeney03]

Just saw the demo of vBsports. Looks good so far. Will vBsports use another slideshow? It looks different from vbslideshow..

I also like the betting and team history.

Will this replace vbadvanced? Thank you.

[vBcover]

vBadvanced can never be replaced.
Yes this is a different slideshow.

[dakis]

If I understand correctly (too much info on the demo website lol) this will also include a fantasy and a prediction league?

If so, will it work with any of the current available point systems like vbexperience or vbcredits?

But even if it doesn't I can't wait to see this, I will definately use it on my sports website. Any ETA ? :)

[vBcover]

I could always include hooks so people could add what they want.
Should be ready soon.
And yes there will be a prediction (done) and fantasy league

[dakis]

lol that was fast. :)

Thanks a lot Lionel, I'll be waiting for the release.

[Greeney03]

So if we already have the vbslideshow, we have to buy another one for vbsports?

[vBcover]

Don't worry. If I do decide to keep that slideshow, it will be included with vbsports as part of it.

[Greeney03]

Don't worry. If I do decide to keep that slideshow, it will be included with vbsports as part of it.

Thanks for the quick reply. One more question, Can you make vbsports as your home page?

[vBcover]

If you use vbadvanced, yes. I am not planning to reinvent the wheels. vBcover homepage is vBadvanced.

[Greeney03]

Wow! Very nice job then! So basically it's vbadvanced, but more useful modules! :)

Any updates on the price? Is it gonna be free? :)

[vBcover]

Free? :eek:

It's like many scripts merged into one.

[Greeney03]

Free? :eek:

Relax Lionel...I'm just kidding. I know you worked hard for your projects and I'm willing to pay for it. :)

Will there be a trial version?

[vBcover]

I supposed I could provide one for selected customers. You are one of them :-)

[Greeney03]

Awesome! Any date yet?

[vBcover]

I have just added a test game. Adding it automatically adds it to calendar and creates a thread. If you register at the demo you'll be able to see how predictions works (quick predictions, because full predictions is much more elaborate)

Sweet! I'm gonna do it now!

[Greeney03]

Just did it, looks awesome! Can you modify the prediction though? For example on baseball, can you predict the player of the game or series wins?

[vBcover]

What you saw was the quick prediction. In advanced predictions you'll be able to select the player that will score and the time (minutes in the game) he will score

[Greeney03]

Holy crap! Even better!

[vBcover]

If you want, I can make you an admin at my other development site so you see what's inside ... and perhaps give me more ideas ...

[vBcover]

BTW. Advanced predictions is done already. I just need to port it to the demo. So is fantasy

[Greeney03]

If you want, I can make you an admin at my other development site so you see what's inside ... and perhaps give me more ideas ...

I'd be honored...So yes please. :)

[vBcover]

sent you link and login info by PM

[vBcover]

By the way, the teams uniform are automatically created according to the colors that you set

[Greeney03]

sent you link and login info by PM

Lionel, vbsports is very deep...Team info, players, stats, team history, jersey colors, etc.

About the standings though, I have an idea and it could be useful for NFL, MLB, NHL, and most major sports.

Is there a way you can make it like this? www.sdfriars.com (Check my standings on the top right corner)

[vBcover]

This is how it will be.
Unfortunately you will be able to have only one sport. If you choose baseball, you could have Major League, Little League etc... but cannot add soccer to it :-(

[vBcover]

you can have a better idea here (http://www.haitiwebs.com/haiti-page-soccer.html)
(on the left)
(don't mind the html. I am missing a couple of flags so that distorts the page a little). In those pages inside, there are comprehensive stats.

[Greeney03]

So there's an option to change it to major league?

[vBcover]

Once you create a league, e.g. Baseball, then you can add as many divisions as you want (Major League, Little League etc...)

Got it! Let me know when its done. :)

[ShadMan]

Expected release date? NFL season is starting, and I would love to have this ASAP!

[vBcover]

This is next on the list 75% done. But I just released 2 scripts and I usually stop production for a few days after that so I can focus on customer who might need help.

[ShadMan]

OK, sounds like it will miss football season this year. Maybe in time for MLB baseball season, then. ;)

[thefreekick]

I see you're working on VB Herald at the moment, does that mean you've paused VB Sports for a while?

[vBcover]

vBsports is 60% - 75% done. I have to do what will sell first. vBsports will have limited sales, I think.

The good news is that vBherald is 90% done

[thefreekick]

Good stuff. Thanks for the update.

[Kaelon]

With regards to vBherald, I really liked the preview, but do you have another update? How does vBherald look/handle in the front?

[thefreekick]

I know you were busy with restoring the site etc after the downtime but is VBSports still something you're looking at?

Thanks

[vBcover]

Hi,

It's next on my list. I have been busy with a ton of custom work plus I have areal nice script coming up soon ... surprise ...

[thefreekick]

Thanks, good to know it's still on the agenda.

[vBcover]

I am redoing vBsports from scratch. It's coming out super duper nicer and could accomodate many types of sports simultaneously :-)

[dakis]

Do you have an estimation as to how much time this will take? Thanks :)

[vBcover]

Hi, sometimes this month. I am going full blast on it. And admin is 80% done.

[dakis]

This month? FANTASTIC!!!

[eXoOutsider]

Awesome! This is a sure buy for me.

[vBcover]

I put up some screenshots in announcements.

Except for tournaments mode, admin is done.

[merk51]

I was just quickly wondering whether this product would replace vBookie - as I have vBookie 2.0 which works straight out of the box for 3.8 and my members love it!

[vBcover]

this product is much more than vbookie.
in addition to a complete sports site with players statistics, league standings, etc ... it also provides you with prediction leagues and fantasy leagues. I'll PM you

[thefreekick]

Just wondering if this is still expected to be released soon?

Thanks

[vBcover]

It's really in advanced mode. Both predictions and fantasy came out really nice.

I am getting help from someone to put data for me. But right now he is a little busy.
Then I'll need to make it compatible with vb 4.0

[thefreekick]

Thanks for the update, looking forward to this.

[SteveRobWhatever]

I am looking forward to this for my site as well. I have been looking for something similar to what vbPool used to deliver before it disappeared.

I do have a question though....are the player statistics updated manually or via rss? I eagerly anticipate any news on this feature.

[vBcover]

Manually. Can't be RSS as this will accomodate all sports

Here are a couple screenshots of admin game. That will also update predictions, fantasy and automatically update the pre-game report with the post-game report with line-up, albums if any ...

[yahoooh]

i need this product i have users that can manage this product with entries and data on my site
but untill now you did not make it for purchasing

we still wait this since 2 years

[vBcover]

Yes I know. It has been on and off due to custom work that I have been doing.

Sometimes I feel like giving up on this product also. It is loaded with so many things that it could end up to be too expensive

[yahoooh]

if it has great features and after i see it work on your site i did not mind even if i paid 300$ for it
put first we need to see and to know every thing about it
i want to use first for saudi football games and i have team that will provide data for every player ,club,stad,history of the game ,pictures and more

put i want first to test it carefully and if there are somthing missing we will ask

[vBcover]

provide data for every player ,club,stad,history of the game ,pictures and more


It already has all these options and more.

I hear you are willing to pay 300.00 and I even had commitment for 2 licenses at 450.00.

But how many people can afford those prices? No one will see that it's multiple scripts into one. And even at 150.00 not too many copies will be sold. I'll keep on doing it as I love soccer and could use it on my site (all sports are supported, not just soccer). But as I also need to make a living and I focus more on my custom work.

[yahoooh]

could u send to me demo in pm
so i can see what you did untill now
then i will talk with you about price and purchasing

[vBcover]

I sent you a couple of PM

[thefreekick]

Lionel

Any chance I could get a look at that demo too? I'm interested in this product but without seeing it in action it's hard to know what a fair price is. I do agree that it's very extensive but there's a lot of people who'd be very interested in it I think, once they know about it.

You just need to search for "fantasy football" or something on vb.org to see the amount of interest it generates or look at the vbookie thread. That's a mod for 3.5 I think but it still gets alot of discussion. If there's a reliable commercial alternative that offers so much more then I think you'll have interest. Might be worth seeing if you can sell pieces of it separately though so you could have a Lite version or a Full version etc.
