New to the website

Post by paynec » Mon Sep 13, 2010 12:39 pm

I've noticed discussions here about some of the things I'd like to see possibly being in future releases... such as the ability to add new pages/tabs, player hit charts, etc.

But despite the fact that I LOVE iScore, I'm a little underwhelmed by the lack of customization ability on the web site. I'm wondering if others are perhaps hosting their web sites separately and somehow linking back to their iScore stats/pages? And if so, how do you accomplish that? Seems to me it should be able to be done, but I'm far from a web designer so wouldn't know how to execute it.

Thanks!!

If you look at the showcase examples, you will find there are lots of people customizing the team websites quite a bit.

However, I know we use our own website and link to the Statistics and Games screens on the team website. That way I have the freedom to customize the main website with more extensive tools and still get the ease of use of the stats and games.

The links for the individual pages are as follows:
Statistics - http://iscorebaseball.com/stats.php?t=xxxxxxxxxx
Games - http://iscorebaseball.com/games.php?t=xxxxxxxxxx

etc.... The x's are replaced by the name of your team website. On your main website, you can either have a link to each page, or you can embed the page into your website directly using an iframe. For example, on my site I have the following iframe:

<iframe src="http://iscorebaseball.com/stats.php?t=xxxxxxxxxx" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" width="100%" height="600">

Use the team website Settings page to set the colors to something that fits the color scheme of your main website and everything looks pretty good. If you link or iframe to your team site, the passwords you set on the site will still apply so you don't even have to worry about that.

I was in the same boat when I started this too. Once you start, it is pretty easy to either configure the team website or to link to a site.

imho.. The beauty of the FTM approach on Web sites, is KISS. so non web designers can build a page easy and have low time and energy to maintain for a reasonable fee. If someone wants a more sophisticated site. there are plenty of options out there from free to paid just takes more time to master, set up and maintain.
