MMM-Soccer - Standings, Schedules and Top Scorers

@lavolp3 I should have thought a bit longer.
The reason is that the number for the league is deprecated. If you use the actual number, it works.

@lavolp3 you can update the lague codes via config ;)

Hi,

great work!
I’m looking for a way to change the Team Name. For example “Red Bull Leipzig” is wrong, it must be Rasenballsport Leipzig. Is there a way to change the Team Name?

@Southcity the data is coming from an api endpoint, where you registered for the api key, so you could write them a mail if they can fix it :)

hi

i am having trouble with the soccer module.
I can get the current english premier league and i can show a reduced number of teams. But i cannot get the the focus to work. I have tried multiple teams but none work.

my code is

                        module: "MMM-soccer",
                        position: "top_left",
                        config: {
                                api_key: "... censored ...",
                                show: "ENGLAND",
                                leagues: {"ENGLAND": 445},
                                focus_on: {"ENGLAND": "Newcastle United FC"},
                                max_teams: "5"
                        }
                },

Dont judge me on the team - its my father’s and this is a christmas present.

what am i doing wrong?

Also is there a way to update the league to the 18/19 season when the ext season starts or do i have to edit the config then?

Brandlin

sorry, i should have added that if when i run the code above the module clearly loads because it shows the headings but the table is blank. If i comment out the focus_on command the module works fine and shows the top 5 teams (as expected)

@Brandlin

This is a complete guess so forgive me if it does not correct your problem. I don’t use this module.

try

focus_on: "ENGLAND": "FC Newcastle United"},

I’ve noticed from the other examples above that the FC comes before the team name. It’s worth a shot.

Brandlin

@Mykle1 hi, thanks for the suggestion, however in england the FC goes after the team name, in germany (which are most of the examples) the FC comes first. I am also assuming that the name i need to use is exactly as it is presented in the league table. Note, I have tried the focus_on command with every team name with no success.

Mykle1

@Brandlin

Again, I don’t use this module. However, it does matter to the API how you enter the team name, even if in England (or anywhere else) the proper way is Newcastle United FC. Have you tried focus on another team from another country? If it works then the problem lies with the API or the formatting of the name in the config.

Note: Newcastle is my favorite beer. :-)

Brandlin

@Mykle1 hi, thanks for the suggestion. I’ve just tried a few teams in the format focus_on: {"ENGLAND": "FC team name"}, and it makes no difference.

logically I would expect to use the team name exactly as displayed - which is “Newcastle United FC”. Otherwise how would anyone know what team name to use?

Newcastle United FC
Newcastle United
Newcastle Utd FC
Newcastle Utd
Newcastle
FC Newcastle United
FC Newcastle Utd
FC Newcastle
Magpies
are all different …
