move or import games from games to calendar for website (answered)

Post by gmish » Mon Mar 13, 2017 4:54 am

Apologies if this question exists elsewhere, but a search did not come up with anything.....

After adding all of our team games for the season, they did not show up in the calendar on the web site. The games do show up, but it does not populate the calendar. How do I get the games I've just entered to populate into the calendar?

Thank you.

The calendar and games are not currently connected. We actually do not recommend creating the games ahead of time as any changes to the rosters (players added/removed) will not be reflected in those games. We suggest creating the games on game day so the most up to date rosters are included with the games.

Understandable, but our roster is set. It seems weird to me that calendar is not connected to games. Is that going to be fixed/ updated?

(note: Support responded while i was typing below response, I went ahead and posted, as it also includes reference to google calendar)

good afternoon -

the calendar on the "team web site" is NOT designed to have an option to "automatically" populate (and update) based on pre scheduled games in iscore... (In fact , for a number of reasons, the developers historically, have discouraged users from pre scheduling games in iscore to far in advance.)

the standard calendar for the team web site page is pretty generic but flexible for a team to use for practices, meetings, games etc. Using the provided calendar is pretty straightforward, but manual.

That said, what is an option, and what many users take advantage of, is the ability to replace the provided calendar program with an embedded google calendar. Thus allowing the Team Web site to stay in sync with schools, coaches, or team mom's who control the calendar but are not the iscore administrator.. this has proven a nice way to have one master calendar - especially in baseball/softball with weather changes and last minute schedule changes..

If you are familiar with google calendars, Embedding a google calendar is very easy, just a quick copy and paste but post back if you want more information on that. but basically, just log into Team Site as administrator, then click on calendar tab and it provides a place to paste in the google link.


hope this helps

I would recommend google Calendar. I do not expect the integration of a calendar to be high on the developers list.

thank you. Am using embedded google calendar. Helpful. I still do think that integrating games to the calendar makes perfect sense. It certainly would not cause a problem for other people, and you could even make it an option to integrate the games or not. Not sure why an added feature is a bad thing. JMO

glad google calendar will work for you ..

as to the enhancement idea... iScore does not pre announce products nor development direction....I have no insider knowledge, but my guess is the next generation of iScore Team Web sites will be much more integrated with (replaced by?) the SiPlay ecosystem for team web sites, registrations, communication fundraising etc etc.

FYI - in case you did not know, and if you have another team/club/ school web site the current iscore team pages for stats and roster and games can be easily embedded inside your custom team web site too

cool. Good to know. We use iscore for a high school team and a mens softball team, and like the integrated sites available. Aside from confusion each year when a new season starts (mainly due to not using the product for 8 months), it works well.

Here is another trick.. The Embedded link on the Calendar Page (on a team web site subscription), Can be almost any web page (not just a google calendar embed).

if your school (or softball league) has a web site with the schedule on it. Then when logged into Team Wed Site as administrator, you can copy and paste your league/school web site URL with the schedule on it into the Calendar's Google Embed Text box . normally that web site will just be inserted inside as a frame. Easy as pie
