Client's choice
Introduction
What is absolutely great about this product is we have practically made it a white label solution. Actually there is nothing a client has to do to be able to use it.
However to make it look perfect there are some aspects we either suggest to do or simply ask for, so we can adapt it as much as possible to the client's needs.or
Below there is a list of things we encourage you to deliver that will allow us to provide a solution that we can be fully proud of.
Logo
Left part of the header is dedicated for the team logo.
The file should be in PNG format with a transparent background, preferably a horizontal version (if available). Minimum height of a file is 60px.
Look customization
During the integration process our Creative Department will prepare a customized design for you. It's going to be adjusted to your preferences, very often to the layout of the existing website.
We are able to change elements like: logo, icons, fonts, colours, sizes, background colour or background picture.
We are also open to proceed with a layout prepared by your graphic designers. We are very flexible and open for cooperation.
Favicon and title
The product looks better in a browser when the page has a favicon and it's title that's why we suggest to our clients to send us the file and the information. This setting is visible on every page you visit.
Photos
In the Players and Venue tabs there is a place for photos. It is up to you whether you want the players headshots and the picture of the venue to be shown in your product.
It is a certain fact though - it does look much better having them.
Languages
We offer a full package of languages, however, if your website is dedicated to only one country you can always let us know (you may wish to have only one language).
TeamCenter automatically adjusts the language of the website. The system tries to find the language of the browser and then sets the proper one on the website.
If the user picks the language by himself then this configuration will be saved in his browser and remembered afterwards for all other changes.
One of the languages needs to be chosen as the default one in order the browser's language is not offered in TeamCenter. Then the default language will be set. English is as default, however, it can be changed on request.
The order for adjusting the website language is as follows:
- Language set by the user
- Language set by automatic adjustment (based on the browser's language settings)
- Default language set by the system administrator
Time zones
There is a select tab with time zones in the header and the user's browser will detect the proper time zone and set it automatically.
If the user picks the time zone by himself then this configuration will be saved in his browser and remembered afterwards for all other changes.
It is possible to define one time zone only. In cases where the product is dedicated to users from only one country, just hide the select tab, as it will now have no purpose.
Sports
It is possible to have multiple sports in one product. In case of a team that has several sports sections, for example in Soccer, Volleyball and Ice hockey we can define all three sports (but one needs to be set as default).
With an option of more than one sport, a select tab will appear next to the logo in the header.
Competitions
For every client, there are a different number of competitions provided. For a team, we provide every competition the team takes part in (from those competitions we have in offer).
The number of competitions is decided during the integration process. This list can be changed.
If multiple competitions are provided a default one needs to be set while the other ones can be chosen by the select tab just below the header. If only one competition is provided the select tab will only have an informative function.
Seasons
We provide the current season of each competition as default plus three past seasons if requested and if we do have them in our database (depends on competitions chosen).
Past seasons can be chosen by the select tab that happens to be next to the competition select tab below the header. If only one season is provided the select tab will only have an informative function.
Twitter accounts
We set up the official club twitter account as default and it's visible on all tabs apart from tabs TEAM and PLAYERS.
On the other 6 tabs, it's up to you to use our default setting or to use the twitter accounts you wish to have. If you want to use your own selections, just send us the twitter links and the information on which tab you want them displayed.
If more than one twitter account is displayed on a single tab, then they will rotate when the page is refreshed.
9th Tab in Menu
There are 8 tabs in the menu where we are responsible for the content. However, our clients are being given a choice of adding a 9th tab themselves.
In order to do this, they need to log into our back office administration panel and follow a couple of simple steps.
- Go to our back office panel: https://backoffice.statscore.com
- Enter username and password
- Click "Team/LeagueCenter" at the top of the menu
- Click "Your websites" in the menu on the left
- On Websites list click the "Menus" in the Options column next to the domain you wish to add the tab on
- On Menus list pick the language and click Edit on right hand side
- Once you click this you will be redirected to the Edit menu links section where you need to fill a few blank spaces in order to add the tab correctly
- Menu display name - this name will be visible on the front in the menu
- Menu position - decide if your tab will be first or last tab in the menu
- Order - you can switch places if more than one link to the submenu is added
- Display name - name of the link in the submenu
- Url - set a link for redirection (it requires http:// or https://)
- New window - decide if the link should open in new window or not
- Option - you can delete some or all links from the submenu
- Menu display name - this name will be visible on the front in the menu
- You can add more than one link to the submenu by using the "Add" button
- Recheck again and then click the "Save" button to finish
- It is always good to open the product and see if everything went well and everything works as intended
Do it once or twice and it will be a piece of cake from then on.
