I am building a XOOPS site for my kids' sports club (it's cricket, but any sport will do), and want to know if you have encountered others who wish to manage their club through a XOOPS site. I have spent the last couple of days building a basic site with news, faq, etc, but now need modules for :

- Scores : our club has many teams, playing against teams from other clubs once a week. Each team is in a grade, based on the age of the players (e.g. Under 10, Under 8, etc). I'd like to record the scores for each game (but not all the statistics - yet), and present them by date (all games on a date) or by team (all games played by one team).

- Fixtures : I receive the schedule of games and where they are to be played on a Tuesday - for the upcoming Saturday. I want to display this schedule on the web page AND notify all registered users by email. This could be done with a normal news item, but not the "notify all" function.

- Honours board : this is just a table of players names, dates and their achievement (runs, catches, etc).

- Registrations : 500 or so kids need to register each year ! We do it all on paper forms sent in the mail. It would be so much better to do it online. But we also use the registration form for ordering gear (like uniforms and equipment), which means I can't just extend the standard registration details. Or can I ?

- Committee Members : This is another simple table with people's names, position and contact details.

I have this information on my current site - collegians.org - but it is all manually updated, and I am the only one with FTP access to update content. The scores, team lists, etc, are all managed by our administrator on an Access database and spreadsheets. Yuck !

So ! Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with modules with the above functionality ? I'm not averse to hacking an existing module or even building one from scratch, but would much rather contact someone who has a similar need.

I use XOOPS for a Pop Warner football client. Visit http://www.wilmingtonpopwarner.com/xoops to see what Ive done there.
Any questions, you can get me via the webmaster link there.

You can get a lot of this done (albeit manually) with a simple content module like TinyContent. For example, Committee members could be done something like this: http://www.dcas.us/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=3

The email issue is a little tougher. Have you tried the evennews module. That's a start anyway.

When do you do the registrations? I'm planning a module that might help with this, but it's really not even started yet. If you're interested in helping build that, go join the module dev forge and send me a pm with your login name there and what you'd like to do to help.

Thanks. I've done the committee members list using a very simple HTML menu item, which I learned from XOOPS for Dummies.

Did you use TinyContent for all those items on your "About DCAS" menu ?

Registration is in September, so I don't expect to be able to do it this season, but there's plenty of time to do it next year. Since registration is not much more than basic XOOPS sign-up with some extra fields, there shouldn't be too much programming.

For the scores, I'd really like to find a module that already does 80% of what I want. I'll look at TinyContent and the sites suggested by other posters, and keep this thread open with my progress !

If you need any help here and there along the way im more then happy to help out I play cricket myself and are a big fan of younger people getting into the game! Have you got msn or aol or icq private message me here on the XOOPS site it and we can have a yarn!

Cheers, mate.

At this stage, I'll be doing some of this as plain HTML modules, FAQs and news items. I also hope to have the registration done as an extension to the standard XOOPS new user registration. Other things, like a scores database and Honours Board, I'll do as new modules over the next year so they're ready for next season.
