FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:

If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.

Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package picks

Picks

A Flarum 2.x extension that adds a college-football pick'em game to your forum. Members predict the winners of each week's games, earn points, and compete on a season leaderboard. Schedules and teams are synced from CollegeFootballData (CFBD), and team logos / live scores come from ESPN.

Features

Weekly picks — members pick winners for each game in a week; picks lock at kickoff (with an optional offset).
Live scoring — a scheduled task polls ESPN for in-progress scores and grades picks automatically as games finish.
Leaderboard — season standings with per-week history and per-user pick history (/u/{username}/picks-history).
Confidence mode (optional) — members rank their picks by confidence for weighted scoring, with a configurable penalty for missed high-confidence picks.
Admin management — sync teams/schedule/scores, open/unlock weeks, enter or override results, refresh team logos, and reset data, all from the admin panel.
Per-permission access — separate abilities for viewing, making picks, viewing history, and managing.

Requirements

Flarum ^2.0
A free CollegeFootballData API key — get one at https://collegefootballdata.com/key (used for team and schedule syncing).

Installation

Then enable Picks in the admin panel under Extensions.

Setup

Open the Picks page in the admin panel.
Paste your CFBD API key and set the season year (and optionally a conference filter).
Sync Teams, then Sync Schedule to pull the season's games.
Open the week(s) you want members to pick.
Grant the picks permissions to the appropriate groups (see below).

To keep live scores updating, make sure Flarum's scheduler is running (see Scheduler below) and enable ESPN polling in the settings.

Permissions

Set these under Admin → Permissions:

Ability	Lets a user…
`picks.view`	See the Picks page and leaderboard.
`picks.makePicks`	Submit and change their own picks.
`picks.viewHistory`	View pick history for users.
`picks.manage`	Manage the game (sync, results, weeks, settings). Admins always have this.

Settings

Configured on the admin Picks page (stored under the ernestdefoe-picks.* namespace):

CFBD API key, season year, conference filter
Sync regular season / postseason, auto-sync
Picks lock offset (minutes before kickoff)
Confidence mode + confidence penalty (none / half / full)
Auto-unlock weeks, default week view
ESPN polling + poll interval
Nav label (the forum nav link text)

Scheduler

Live-score polling runs as a scheduled command (PollLiveScoresCommand, every 5 minutes). For it to fire, Flarum's scheduler must be invoked once a minute by cron:

You can also run syncs manually:

Data sources

CollegeFootballData (CFBD) — teams and game schedules (API key required).
ESPN — team logos and live in-game scores (public endpoints, no key).

Team names, logos, and data are the property of their respective owners and the providers above. This is an unofficial fan tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NCAA, CFBD, ESPN, or any team.
