Template talk:Football box

Microformats

Wouldn't it be better, instead of forcing everyone to start using {{start date}}, we simply put the date parameter into the {{start-date}} template? That way we could let people keep putting dates in the {{footballbox}} template in plain text, and the microformats would be automatically generated. – PeeJay 23:09, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Key

I think the template could do with an option for a key. We football fans may instinctively know that the arrows and numbers mean substitutions and times, but unfamiliar readers may not. The trouble is, with a template that complicated, I have no idea how to add it. Any template experts on hand to help? Oldelpaso (talk) 19:14, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Who started the shootout

Anyone think there should be something that indicates who started the shootout? --MicroX (talk) 04:19, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

I second this. This is pretty useful. Perhaps an arrow at either end of "Penalties"? –HTD 19:10, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Agree too, any progress on this? --Pelotas^{talk|contribs} 10:49, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

I've noticed some sites, UEFA among them IIRC, display the penalty takers on a stagger, i.e. the penalty takers do not all line up, and are instead about half a line out from each other. If we could replicate this somehow, we could easily indicate who took the first kick. – PeeJay 19:26, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Broken links in the |report= parameter?

What if the link in the |report= parameter goes bad? Usually, when a link goes bad you add a link to an archive copy, but leave the old link available. But, if you add a {{Cite web}}, {{Wayback}}, or {{WebCite}} template in to the |report= parameter then the {{footballbox}} looks bad.

What do you recommend? Blevintron (talk) 22:20, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

The above post was made in 2012, but many templates have this same problem. In fact some can't display archive links at all, the embedded template causes havoc on render. Not sure what the solution is. -- GreenC 01:07, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Why not just wrap the reference in <ref></ref> tags in that case? | report = Report<ref>{{cite web | title=Actual title of the link | url=http://www.example.com/foo | accessdate=1 Jan 2009 | archiveurl=http://www.example.com/archive/foo | archivedate=2 Jan 2009 |deadurl=yes}}</ref> ==> Report –Sygmoral (talk) 22:50, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Google using Microformat summary

Google are now using the Microformats 'summary' attribute when displaying search results. It's not looking right in the Google results at the moment. See http://i.imgur.com/roHvZS6.png as an example.

I've made a few proposals in the template:Football box/sandbox file. I've added team names to a summary attribute and also added a location attribute to the the stadium/venue.

Easier report parameter

I just changed the Football box collapsible template to accept plain URLs as 'report' parameter, so that people can just write report=url instead of always having to write report=[url Report]. The template now generates those links automatically, but only if a plain URL is detected, so all other use cases still work. Feel free to copy over that change into this template. Sygmoral (talk) 14:23, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Great idea. I'd been wondering about this for a while, but I didn't know if it was possible. – PeeJay 19:22, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Here is the code to parse the report parameter that way, if someone wants to put it into this template.

{{ #if: {{{report|}}} | {{#ifeq:{{str_sub|{{{report}}}|0|4}}|http |[{{{report}}} Report] |{{{report}}}}} | }} Sygmoral (talk) 18:06, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Template-protected edit request on 2 March 2016

Quite a while ago already, I edited the {{Football box collapsible}} template to make the report parameter easier to use. I did this because everyone always writes report=[url Report], so I automated that format so you can just write report=url instead. It detects when the report parameter starts with http, and if so, wraps it into such a link.

The following edit is required: {{{report}}} needs to be replaced with {{#ifeq:{{str_sub|{{{report}}}|0|4}}|http |[{{{report}}} Report] |{{{report}}}}}. Thanks! –Sygmoral (talk) 20:05, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Accessibility update

I can't say for certain, but MOS:ACCESSIBILITY (see Block elements) would probably suggest that we move away from breaks and toward the use of {{plainlist}} for the goals, cards, etc. in the two goals parameters. Comments? If no one objects, I'll update the documentation. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:03, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

Good idea, I agree. –Sygmoral (talk) 01:53, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

In fact, with a little work, we could make it so that goal parameters starting with * are automatically converted to use {{plainlist}}. That may be worth doing because it will make adoption easier: it is easier to remember. Could then look like this:

|goals1       = [[Marco Materazzi|Materazzi]] {{goal|19}}
|goals2       = 
* [[Zinedine Zidane|Zidane]] {{goal|7|pen.}}
* [[Someone else]] {{goal|74}}
|other_parameters

versus

|goals1       = [[Marco Materazzi|Materazzi]] {{goal|19}}
|goals2       = {{plainlist|
* [[Zinedine Zidane|Zidane]] {{goal|7|pen.}}
* [[Someone else]] {{goal|74}}
}}
|other_parameters

Shall I put in an edit request for that? –Sygmoral (talk) 02:04, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

That would be a good option. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:24, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

I have just implemented this for {{Football box collapsible}}! Assuming no one complains, I will soon create an edit request for this template. (I did notice that no spaces must appear before the *, otherwise it doesn't come out right.) –Sygmoral (talk) 03:49, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Template-protected edit request on 20 May 2016

See above: this code change allows people to list goals and penalties using normal list syntax (asterisk), which will be rendered in a {{plainlist}}, rather than putting <br> between them (as suggested by Walter Görlitz). The required change is that the parameters goal1, goal2, penalties1 and penalties2 are replaced with constructs like this:

{{#ifeq:{{str_sub|{{{goals1}}}|0|1}}|* |{{plainlist|{{{goals1}}}}} |{{{goals1|}}}}}

This code is already in use on the {{Football box collapsible}} template, as demonstrated by the last few matches on Belgium national football team results – 2010s. Thanks! –Sygmoral (talk) 04:04, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

@Andy M. Wang: done! I had to add a new test case (nr 3) because the new functionality can only be tested with new syntax. The other tests do show that it is backwards compatible, however. –Sygmoral (talk) 04:53, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Adjustment to ID parameter

Requesting to add {{#ifeq:{{str_sub|{{{id}}}|0|1}}|" |{{{id|}}}|"{{{id}}}"}} (similar to this edit) to allow the ID's to not need quotations while still supporting instances where the quotation is included (and therefore preventing duplicate quotes). Secret Agent Julio (talk) 17:46, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Oh my, they require quotes right now? That isn't great design... :/ Is there a way to easily find all usages of this template with this recent new id parameter, so that we can just update them and then always add quotes in this template? –Sygmoral (talk) 17:53, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, definitely not the greatest idea. I know Qed237 brought it up here, so it sounds like the quotes were left as it was thought people would still include quotations? Either way, this prevents the duplicate quotes Redrose64 mentioned. I believe this was implemented during some work on Category:Pages using invalid self-closed HTML tags, so after only a week it has already been thoroughly implemented. I could try to see if the quotes could be removed via AWB, but for now this is probably the best solution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by alternate account of Secret Agent Julio (talk • contribs) 18:10, 21 July 2016 (UTC)‎

For now, we can put in something like {{#ifeq:{{str sub|{{{id}}}|0|1}}|"|[[Category:Some category name]]}} (or some other string template if there's a better one than {{str sub old}}). After the instances of |id= with '"' are corrected, the update would then be a simpler {{#if:{{{id|}}}|id="{{{id}}}" }} probably. Read Redrose64's follow up on his talk. If adding quotes is not recommended, the request here is probably okay — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 18:18, 21 July 2016 (UTC) 18:30, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Enable "umpire" for pre-1881 matches?

Before 1881, there were no referees, with umpires as the only match officials.

This is a bit of a niche request, no doubt, but would it be possible in any way to have an option to show "Umpire" rather than "Referee" for these early matches? Thanks Grover cleveland (talk) 20:59, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be "Umpires" (plural), since there were two umpires per game (one provided by each side)? – PeeJay 22:15, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

It varied. For example, there was one umpire at the first FA Cup final. It later became customary for each team to provide its own umpire, which led to the introduction of the referee to settle disputes between the umpires. But you make a good point -- ideally we would have the option of both "umpire" and "umpires", although I'd be OK with just "umpire" for now. Grover cleveland (talk) 18:19, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Template issues

Restore template as of 22 July 2016‎, the changes should be discussed and tested further in the sandbox before being adopted, as there have been various issues caused by the latest edits. S.A. Julio (talk) 21:06, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

S.A. Julio, it's impossible to judge whether a reversion is justified when you only state "there have been various issues". Nor does it help Matt Fitzpatrick fix the issues. Cabayi (talk) 07:06, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

They've now responded, hopefully the alignment issue will be fixed soon. However, hopefully in the future the sandbox can be further utilised, the microdata and layout changes created a number of problems. S.A. Julio (talk) 15:03, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

I've solved right-aligning the date and time on desktop while left-aligning on mobile — see sandbox and testcases. Before I take it live, I thought I'd ask if I should center the date and time in mobile? Centering the date and time in mobile wasn't possible in the previous layout, but it is possible now. Matt Fitzpatrick (talk) 04:21, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

@Matt Fitzpatrick: Thanks, I'm not sure which would be preferable, whatever would make most sense. However, the time alignment still seems a bit strange, see 2018–19 UEFA Nations League A, where there are two lines for the time. Can this be right aligned as well? Thanks, S.A. Julio (talk) 00:03, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

@S.A. Julio: I'll keep thinking of a CSS solution for this. Putting two different times breaks the data structure, though, so if this is a common format, maybe another parameter (time2?) may help? Another parameter would also make the CSS solution very easy. Matt Fitzpatrick (talk) 17:10, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

I don't know if it's related, but there is a malformed time tag near the start of the code. pauli133 (talk) 11:38, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Time formatting

On smaller screens (or half-width windows), the time field is left-justified and out of alignment with the date (as seen at 2018 FIFA World Cup Final, it happens when the time field is too long). SounderBruce 22:04, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

@PeeJay2K3: Only the score should be so prominent. The fact of when the win came is not as important as the score.--Sakiv (talk) 17:41, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

I mean, that's a matter of opinion. Ideally, we shouldn't reduce the font size unless absolutely necessary because of accessibility requirements. – PeeJay 23:47, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

agget/asget

Who decided this was a good idea? There was never such a thing as "golden goal extra time" or "silver goal extra time", there was only ever "extra time". We do not need to specify that a game went to some kind of "special" extra time. – PeeJay 08:33, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Well "golden goal extra time" or "silver goal extra time" just refers to extra time under the golden/silver goal format, a number of sources have used this wording [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]. This seems worth noting given the unique format, the term "asdet" is commonly used to denote matches using golden goal/sudden death rules. S.A. Julio (talk) 23:52, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Those terms are colloquial only. I'm not complaining about the use of "asdet" as that appears to have some official usage, but the others have none. Even in prose, I'm not specifically opposed to the usage of those terms, but the use of "agget" and "asget" are complete neologisms here. – PeeJay 08:37, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

report parameter edge case

I have been trying to work around a problem with the current setup of the |report= parameter, but my Lua skills are negligible. When the parameter starts with "http", an automatic link of the style Report is generated. This works fine, as long as nothing else is included after the URL. When a {{dead link}} template is included after the parameter value, such as at 2008 Caribbean Cup qualification, the result is a semi-broken link followed by a poorly formatted template rendering. Can anyone here adjust the code here so that in addition to looking for "http" at the start of the parameter value, the module also looks for any templates? If templates are found, the parameter should probably just be rendered without trying to make a link.

Note that this problem also exists in {{Baseballbox}} (cf Softball at the 2011 Pan American Games) and {{IceHockeybox}} (cf Canada at the 2012 Winter Youth Olympics). – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:25, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Jonesey95, I implemented the simple fix. we could probably do something more sophisticated and move the {{dead link}} after the link, but that would require more string processing. Frietjes (talk) 15:18, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks! It looks like that solves the broken-link problem; if editors fix the dead links, the plain URL will no longer be displayed, so they will fix two problems with one edit. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:33, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

I have implemented the same fix at Module:Football box collapsible and a similar fix at {{Linescore}}. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:43, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Location parameter

A small suggestion: change the location parameter so that it will still display without the stadium; for articles such as 1958 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group 7, the stadium isn't listed (and might not be well documented). SounderBruce 08:15, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Accessibility

Frietjes, I hope you don't mind if I ping you. I'm inexperienced with Lua templates, and I see above that you handled the 2018 rewrite. I've tested an update to Module:Football box/sandbox. The live template creates a complex table, and screen readers (NVDA and VoiceOver) make a mistake with column headers and attribute all penalties to the home team because the penalties cell is technically in that column. Using the "headers" attribute makes it possible to manually assign the position. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 18:52, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

User:Rjjiii, thank you. your changes look good. the only possible problem will be if the total html output adds pages to Category:Pages where post-expand include size is exceeded since people love putting many of these on the same page. but, the only way to find out is to try. Frietjes (talk) 15:45, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

While testing some pages, I realized this will result in multiple ids with the same name on some pages (and potential problems if those ids are referenced outside of this context), so disregard. Thank you for the reply though, Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 19:20, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

So, my next thought on this was that the template needs something like the Lua equivalent of {{{penaltyscore|}}}{{{attendance|}}}{{{score1|}}}{{{score2|}}} added to each td element's id to make them unique. I'm not sure how badly that will affect the pages that are heavily transcluding the template. I had intended to hack something in the sandbox and test, but real life is fairly intense at the moment, so I'm avoiding that opportunity for additional stress. I'm posting the idea here in case I do not come back around to it. Regards, Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 04:05, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Yellow/red cards

Would a cautions section being added to this make sense? Yoblyblob (talk) 16:59, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

I don't think so. Cards don't directly contribute to the score. – PeeJay 15:26, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

What happened to the winning team being in Bold?

Not sure when this changed, but years ago, the winning team was in bold and the non-winning team was not. Now all the teams are in bold making it more difficult to scan through a list of games and pick out the winner. --Trödel 20:54, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
