TESTERS WANTED - Multi-sport Scoreboard module

[nhl]

@j.e.f.f So far everything has been working smoothly. The only thing I’ve noticed is the Chicago White Sox icon is labeled wrong. It should read CWS instead of CHW

[j.e.f.f]

@nhl Thanks for catching that! There were a few other logos that weren’t quite right too. I’ve just pushed an update. Do a git pull and let me know if it fixes things for you.

@j.e.f.f Looks good! Is there an easy way to resize the rows? If you have more then 3 or 4 items, it kind of takes over the mirror.

[j.e.f.f]

@nhl Yeah I’m planning on adding some size configuration parameters (i.e.: compact mode) to deal with this specifically. I wanted to make sure I got the data pull mechanism rock solid first, but it’s definitely in the works!

Meanwhile, if you don’t want to wait, you can try your hand at CSS. Just put a bunch of rules in your custom.css file to reformat any way you like. The elements are absolutely positioned, so you have quite a bit of freedom to move things around.

@j.e.f.f Sweet. So far so good!

Just installed the module. Looking good so far. Monitoring it while the Jays game is on. Looking forward to the updates. Specially the MLS one.

@j.e.f.f It looks really good! :)

OK Nearing a release candidate! I just pushed an update that includes the following:

• 6 available view styles to choose from (see screenshot below)
• header is now configured using the standard header parameter, no longer in the config object. The old configOptions showHeader and headerText no longer have any effect. If you don’t want a header, omit the header parameter (see sample config below).
• a number of bug fixes

sample config

{
  module: "MMM-MyScoreboard",
  position: "top_right",
  classes: "default everyone",
  header: "My Scoreboard",   //specify header here now, omit if you don't want a header
  config: {
    showLeagueSeparators: true,
    colored: true,
    viewStyle: "mediumLogos",
    sports: [
      {
        league: "NHL",
        teams: ["TOR", "PIT"]
      },
      {
        league: "NBA",
        teams: ["TOR"]
      },
      {
        league: "MLB",
        teams: ["TOR", "CHW", "NYY"]
      },
    ]

  }
},

@d3r looks like I won’t be able to add MLS. Turns out there is no public API available, and I don’t really want to go down the route of scraping a web site. Still going to add NFL, and hopefully CFL (still looking for an API).

The good news, is that I’ve set this up to be modular. Adding sports is a fairly easy thing to do when an API becomes available. If MLS decides to make available an API, it’s maybe a couple of hour’s worth of effort to get it set up.
