Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Just to confirm. Is the 'q' at the end of sqlite2 above a typo or was it required? I want to update the Wiki page and would like to get it right :)

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Preparations for 0.0.8 are in full swing. I'd need help with the following:

Icons:
An icon to represent a 'Chat' tab. Maybe a mouth? That will be for a tab opening up this.
An icon to represent 'Score Prediction'. Maybe the '1:2 1:1' icon with an added question mark? That would be for a tab opening up this.

Those links are the 'best so far' for the respective purpose. If someone has better links, I will consider replacing them.

Zoom in & out icons. Maybe a magnifying glass with a + and - respectively?

Icons for Tennis, Am. Football, Icehockey, Baseball and Basketball similar in style to the one used for Football (see attachment). Size should be 32x32 or 48x48.

A new application icon! As some of you might know, QSportsEvent will soon be renamed to MobiTifo. As the current icon prominently displays a Q, it might no longer be fit for purpose. My apologies to those who helped contribute to that one... :o

Stylesheets:
Has anyone tried the ability in 0.0.7 to modify the stylesheets for some of the screens? I'd really like to improve the looks of the 'Offline' Matches and Table tables.

Sounds
Actually, I haven't got the match events notification to work yet, and there is no guarantee that I will get it to work, but if it does, I'd need sounds to add to the notifications. The events are the following:
Goal (Maybe a latin american GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL?)
Half-time/Full-Time (A double/triple whistle?)
Yellow/Red Card (Oh no/Oh noooooooooo?)
I guess MP3 format should be fine.

Default RSS links
I'd like to add default news RSS links for the following:
US Sports (Basketball, Icehockey, Am. Football, Baseball)
ATP Tennis
Ice-hockey world cup

Ideas!
World Cup 2010 is almost upon us (not to mention the Ch. League Final...). What else should be added to the app?

Whatever you submit/propose, please consider whether I am legally allowed to add the content. I'm sure their lawyers are bigger than mine :)

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Sorry, still didn´t have a chance to really test the current version.
Business trip will keep me busy for two more weeks :-(

Anyway I took the time to create the icons you need:
- Chat
- Score Prediction
- Zoom In
- Zoom Out

See the updated iconset attached!

Had uploaded some in an earlier post.
Need anything else here?

There were also a few non-Q-related suggestions in earlier posts.
Didn´t like them? What do you want? Football related or not?

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Yes am afraid its a typo!! :(

I havent had the chance to play with this so much as yet due to being out boozing.. but shall get on it and give you some good feedback when I get 5 mins.

Cheers.

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Yeah... I have also experienced work getting in the way of developing this app...

Thanks for the effort (as always)! Looks good. Will include them.

Yes, I think I found what I needed from those earlier posts.

I think I'll go for a neutral stadium icon and add the words MobiTifo one way or the other.

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

No worries! I´m glad I can support you at least with small things and will do so wherever I can ;)
But I would also like to encourage everyone again to support Magnuslu and MobiTifo with whatever skills you have or at least some feedback ;-) Don´t be shy guys :p

If you look at other app icons, they dont have the app name written on it. And I think it looks better without due to several reasons:
- its the purpose of an icon to name the app in a graphical way
- as the name is already shown under the icon within the menu it would be redundant to have it again on the icon itself
- the name would have to be written on the graphic and thus cover it mostly, or, with a transparent background, the shape of the icon would have to be squared with a defined backgroundcolor as it would be impossible to find a fontcolor that would look good on any imaginable backgroundcolor on the desktop

What do you think Magnuslu? And everybody else?

How about stickin with a plain stadium or another neutral sport icon like a podium or a trophy?

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Fair enough... How about the stadium with a mobile phone/device/computer/tablet (N900?) superimposed on it? That would include both parts of the name of the app Mobi and Tifo :)

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Hmm, good idea, cancan...attached a quick shot on that...;)
Edit: Added a version without cutoff edges...
Edit2: Oh well, 2 more... one with another stadium and one a little more "adventurous" :p

And another suggestion for the score predictions as I was not really happy with the last one...
(can also upload 48x48 and 32x32 if needed)

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

I have a request Magnuslu.
Can you please name version 0.1.1 "Allianz Arena",
as it is the home stadium of the next Champions League winner :p

And version 0.2.0 maybe "Soccer City Stadium",
which is the stadium of the first World Cup match as well as the of the final :-)

Diablo (testing ver 0.0.7):

After doing the installs recommended above the qsportsevent does launch but when selecting the any icon i get:
QSqlQuery::prepare: database not open
""
-1
QSqlError(-1, "Driver not loaded", "Driver not loaded")
Segmentation fault
