PhpMySport
PhpMySport is a web application aimed at sports clubs and sports leagues wishing to quickly create their own web site. As well as being a complete and easy to use solution, it can be adapted to any sports team: football, rugby, volleyball, basketball, hockey, water polo, etc. It allows for the management of members, matches, team composition, championships, seasons and much more. The application also allows for the redaction of news, the design of free-format pages, and also has a discussion forum. Written in PHP and coupled with a MySQL database, phpMySport acts as a Content Management Systems (CMS); that is a system allowing easy creation and management of the web site content. It has differences specific to sports but still provides most CMS functionalities: customization of design, WYSIWYG text editor, simple and intuitive management, multi-user management, etc. In other words, phpMySport provides a complete web site that can be adapted to your sport, even in your team or league colors!

Version 1.0 of phpMySport includes the following functionalities: Management of news Management of information pages Configuration of members, players, trainers and managers Management of clubs and venues Management of teams and their composition Management of matches, seasons and competitions Discussion forums Members zone Administration zone
Configuration requirements and installation
Configuration requirements and installation installation

Minimum configuration requirements
Language: Database: Browser: Javascript: PHP 4 MySQL 4.0 Mozilla Firefox 1.5, Internet Explorer 6.0 Enabled
Note: Most web hosts, whether commercial or free, are able to provide PHP and MySQL. If you are ready to experiment a little, you can also install phpMySport locally on your own computer after configuring your own web server, PHP and a MySQL database.
Installation
Step 1
Download the latest version of phpMySport from the official site and unzip the file on your computer. Copy all the files to your destination server using an FTP client or else to the web repository on your own local server.
Step 2
Open your web browser and enter the address of your site into the address bar. A welcome page should appear which displays a list of available languages. If this page does not appear, check that the files have been copied correctly to your server. If the application has not been correctly installed and the page does not appear, then you might be able to connect by typing into your browser the address of your site followed by /installation. Click on the language of your choice.
Figure 1: Installation Choice of language
Step 3
You should now be on the welcome page. Click on the Begin Installation button to continue. PhpMySport is an open source software distributed under the GNU/GPL license. Click on continue to proceed with the installation.
Step 4
Choose an installation mode:
Club mode: you wish to create a site for your club or your sporting association. The application will therefore be centered on your teams and other clubs will be considered like opponents. Committee mode: you wish to create a site for a league, a committee or a structure that is to manage several clubs.
If you have chosen club mode, a text field will appear. Enter the name of your club. Choose a sport. If your sport does not appear in the list, then chose the Other sport group option. Click on continue to proceed with the installation.
Figure 2: Installation - Choose the installation mode and sport
Step 5
Site information Enter a title for your site. Enter your web address. Warning, the web address must not contain a slash / as the last character. Enter the root of your site. The root corresponds to the location of the files on your server. If the field is not already entered, you will be able to obtain that information by contacting your web host. Another solution is to create a php file with the code <?php phpinfo(); ?> and place it on your server. Execute this and look for the line containing DOCUMENT_ROOT. Enter an email contact address. This email address will be used when mail is to be sent to members (when opening a member account for example). Choose the URL rewrite option. If your server permits this (Apache mod rewrite is enabled), you can activate this option to render the address of each page in a more readable way.
PhpMySport User manual Server and database information
Enter the name of the web host, the user, the password and the name of your database. This information will be supplied by your web host. If the database does not exist, then the application will try to create it.
Site administrator information Enter your surname, your first name, a login and a password that you will use to access the administration area. Click the continue button to proceed with the installation.
Figure 3: Installation Site information
Step 6
The actual installation now takes place. The database, the tables, the administrator account and the configuration file are created. The principal site parameters are inserted into the database and a file .htaccess is created if you have chosen to activate the option URL rewriting. The installation is now complete. A login form allows you to access your administration area in order to begin the configuration of the application.

Languages and translations

Currently edited for French and English, phpMySport could be translated into any other language. The use of a language file effectively permits the translation of all static text present in the site pages.
14
PhpMySport User manual To do this, proceed as follows:
Basic operation
Open the directory where the phpMySport files reside (with the aid of your FTP client if necessary). In each folder, there exists a file named lg_xxxx_yy.php, where xxxx corresponds to the name of the folder in which it is present, and yy represents the two-letter abbreviation of the language. For example, in the news folder you will find a file named lg_news_fr.php which corresponds to the French text for the module for managing news.
Open a language file with a basic text editor. You will see in quotes (" ") text that corresponds to phrases and words displayed on the site. Having made the modifications, save the file under another name by changing the last two letters uniquely corresponding to the language. For example, if you wish to translate the file to French, then the two last letters need to correspond to fr for French (eg: lg_news_fr.php). Place the file in the same directory as the original. One by one, translate the phrases without changing the rest of the code. Note, the names of PHP variables (eg: $lang[news][title]) must not be modified, otherwise the text will not appear on the site. Once all the text has been modified, save the file Repeat the operation with each of the language files
Once all the files have been translated, open the file include/conf.php and modify the language constant LANG which needs to have a value of the two-letter abbreviation defining the translation language. For example, if you have translated the English files to French: define("LANG","fr");
If you do translate the language files, consider sending us your translation so that all phpMySport users will be able to benefit from your work!
Design customization
Whether it is for your title, your content or your graphics, your site can be unique! Also, the design of phpMySport is entirely customizable and can be changed to the colors of your club or league. Logos, menus, page design, design layout are all easily modifiable thanks to the use of a template system and CSS style sheets. A template system allows for the separation of the PHP code from the HTML code, which each have distinct functions: the first does the calculations and provides the interface to the database while the second organizes the page structure containing the same data. The CSS code is a utility complementary to HTML which allows for the styling and formatting of information. The CSS style sheets allow the total modification of the site design. Here is how to integrate your design with phpMySport: Open the directory where the phpMySport files reside (with the aid of an FTP client if necessary). Open the template directory situated at the root of your site. This contains a subdirectory named default, which contains the default design of phpMySport. To avoid any risk of damaging the application, it is strongly recommended that you do not delete or modify the directory, or the files that it contains!
15
Basic operation
Copy and paste the default directory. Rename with a word (without any space characters) of your choice (eg: mydesign) and place this in the template directory. From now on, this will contain two subdirectories: default and mydesign. Open the directory that you have copied and pasted. Here you will find several directories as well as a number of HTML files. Dont worry, it is not necessary to modify them all to change the design of your site! Only two elements are important:
The tpl_image/ directory: this contains all the images that comprise the graphical interface of the site. The tpl_image/styles.css file: this contains all the style information for style and layout, menus, headings, tables, etc.
To modify the design, it is necessary to add your own images and to modify the content of the CSS file. Here is an example if you wish to insert your logo in place of the phpMySport one:
Place the image of your logo (.jpg, .gif, .png or other format) in the tpl_image/ directory within the mydesign directory. Open tpl_image/styles.css file. Replace the following line: div#header { height:90px; width:100%; margin:0 auto; padding:0; } With: div#header { height:90px; width:100%; margin:0 auto; padding:0; background:url(my_logo.jpg) no-repeat; } #header img { display:none; }; The my_logo.jpg corresponds to the image of your logo. Then proceed with the following instructions
To change the design from the default and apply the modifications you have made, open the index.php file on your site.
At the start of the file, search for the line: define("TPL_DOSSIER","defaut",1); define("TPL_URL",RACINE."/template/defaut/",1); Replace default with the name of your new folder that you have created (mydesign) define("TPL_DOSSIER","mydesign",1); define("TPL_URL",RACINE."/template/mydesign/",1);
Once this is saved, open your site in your browser. The new design of your site will then appear.
Note: as the HTML files can undergo modification any time the software is updated, it is recommended that you do not modify them.
Do not hesitate to share your artistic qualities and distribute your graphical achievements among other phpMySport users. To do this, send us your images and your customized CSS files!

Member management
Member management
It is important to understand the usage of members within phpMySport. There are in fact two aspects to their usage: The relationship between the member and the club: the member can be a player, a manager, a coach, a referee... The relationship between the member and the web site: the member can be an administrator, a user with member access or just a visitor.
A member can be a player in a clubs team and at the same time have an account that allows user access in phpMySport. Unlike in some other applications, these two aspects, club and internet, are not separated. This allows, for example, members to connect to their member area and to see which games they are a part of.
