Usage

After installation, use Import button on the Overview menu of ‘WCP Cup’ to load the teams and match schedules.

Verify the timezone offset on this screen. Any difference should reflect the difference in time between your servers’ local time and Russian time. If this setting is incorrect then users may be able to make predictions after kickoff.

The date and times of matches are in Russian local time (UTC+3)

In order to manage the teams, matches, etc. the logged user must be have the WordPress capability wcup_manager. By default the plugin adds this capability to the Administrator and Editor roles. If the ‘WCP Cup’ menu option is not available, verify that the current user has the wcup_manager role. You may need to install a capability manager plugin to manage roles and capabilities.

Users of the blog do not need any special role or capability to make predictions.

Once imported you may wish to update the URL setting via the Admin->World Cup menu for each team or venue to add links to pages on your site.

Predictions

Create a post or page with the shortcode [world-cup-predictor] to display an entry form. Other shortcodes are available to display prediction results and match results. See below for more details.

Users can only predict on matches that have not yet started. Once a match has started it is removed from the entry form preventing further predictions.

Match Results

As each match is complete, use the Matches admin menu option to enter the goals scored and check the ‘Match Finished’ checkbox.
The group tables and match results displayed by the shortcodes will be updated.

Once a team is confirmed as coming first or second in the group stage, edit the Matches to change the placeholder team to the team that has qualified to the next stage. For example, if Russia win Group A, edit Match Number 13 and change the team from ‘WA’ to ‘Russia’.

This change is then reflected in the knockout results table.

Options

None as yet.

Points Calculations

Once a match has finished, enter the final score in the Matches tab and check the ‘Match Finished’ box. The displayed group tables
will be updated with the latest team standings.

To update the users’ prediction, select the match in the ‘Predictions’ menu and click ‘Score Selected’. This updates the
users’ scores in the widget and on results tables.

Points are assigned according to the settings in the ‘Configure Scoring’ tab.

NOTE – The bonus points are cumulative (added to the scores for exact, win and draw).

Therefore be aware that both the bonus goal and bonus goal difference points amounts will always be added
to the points for a win because the goals and goal difference are the same.
The bonus goal difference points are always added to a draw because the goal difference will match.
Adjust the win and draw points appropriately if either of the bonus points are non-zero.

Shortcodes

Use the following shortcodes to display a prediction form, match results, users’ rankings.

Prediction Form

You can display an entry form for predictions and the results of matches and predictions with the following shortcodes in a post or page.

[world-cup-predictor]

Display an entry form for all the configured matches where the kickoff time is before the current date and time.
The form will display a countdown to the next match deadline. Once the match kickoff time has passed the match will
no longer be displayed and users cannot make predictions.

You may optionally supply the attribute stage=n where n is the stage id to limit the matches to a particular group.

To display just the matches in the group stages, not the knockout stages, use the attribute group=true,
e.g. [world-cup-predictor group=true].

To display matches sorted by kickoff time, rather than by each stage, use the attribute kickoff=true and optionally a
limit, e.g. [world-cup-predictor kickoff=true limit=5] to display the next 5 matches.

To remove the ability to predict penalties during the knockout stages use the attribute predict_penalties=0.

Group Tables

[world-cup-predictor tables=1 stage=n show_results=n]

Display the group tables with the match results once the match has finished and the results have been entered.
You may optionally supply the attribute stage=n where n is the stage id to limit the matches to a particular group.
You may optionally supply the attribute show_results=n where n = 0 or 1 to hide or show the match results below the group table.

Match Results

[world-cup-predictor results=1 stage=n team=n]

Display a table of match results. You may optionally supply the attribute stage=n where n is the stage id to limit the matches to a particular group or use attribute team=n where n is the team id to limit the matches to a particular team.

Users Predictions

[world-cup-predictor scores=n]

For each match ID, specified by n, display a table of every users’ predictions and the points awarded. Note – users predictions will not be shown
if the match kickoff time has not yet passed. This is to prevent users viewing each others predictions before the match has started.

Use the option [world-cup-predictor scores=-1] to display all predictions for all matches in one table.

Optionally add the attribute highlight="css-styles" to add a CSS
style to the table row of the currently logged in user. For example [world-cup-predictor scores=1 highlight="background:red;font-weight:bold"].

Logged in Users Predictions

[world-cup-predictor user=1 show_total=n show_results=m]

For the currently logged in user display the list of predictions for that user. If n is non-zero then show the total points for this user
at he foot of the table. If m is zero do not show match results against each prediction. Also available via the Widgets.

You may also display just the users total via [world-cup-predictor show_total=1] without the table.

Rankings

[world-cup-predictor ranking=1 limit=999]

Display a summary of all the users’ points as a ranking table. Optionally add the attribute highlight="css-styles" to add a CSS
style to the table row of the currently logged in user. For example [world-cup-predictor ranking=1 highlight="background:red;font-weight:bold"].

Also available via the Widgets.

User Rankings Widget

The widget displays similar output to the shortcode [world-cup-predictor ranking=1 limit=9999]

Drag and drop the widget to a sidebar and configure. Multiple instances of the widget, each configured separately, may be
placed on a sidebar.

If not blank, the URL option adds a link to the full results page using the title below as the link text.

User Predictions Widget

The widget displays the list of the currently logged in users’ predictions similar in output to the shortcode [world-cup-predictor user=1]

Drag and drop the widget to a sidebar and configure.

Toggle timezones

All match kickoff times and dates are displayed in Brazilian local time. If you have changed the match times in the admin screens
to another timezone, this will NOT work.

To allow a user to toggle between BRST and local time you need to add the following code in your blog post, or sidebar, that contains
one of the plugin shortcodes: For example,

<div class="tzcContainer">
  <p id="tzLocal" style="display:none">Match times are currently set to match local time, please click here to convert to your time zone.</p>
  <p id="tzClient">Match times are currently set to <strong>your timezone</strong>, please click here to revert to local time.</p>
</div>

The text can be changed to anything appropriate and include images etc. The key items are: id="tzLocal" and id="tzClient" with the
second item having style="display:none". Users clicking on either of these sentences will toggle all match kickoff times between
BRST and browser local time. It does rely on the users’ browser being configured correctly for their timezone and locale.

By default the plugin will also attempt to display match kickoff times in the users local language.

To disable this auto-translate feature uncheck the setting on the overview screen.

Instalazioa

To install the plugin, complete the following steps:

  1. Unzip the zip-file and upload the content to your WordPress Plugin directory. Usually /wp-content/plugins
  2. Activate the plugin via the Admin plugin page.
  3. Import Teams and Matches via the Admin page.
  4. Create or edit a post/page and add the shortcode [world-cup-predictor]

For more details on configuration see Other Notes.

MEG

Why are there more teams than the tournament participants?

There are extra dummy ‘placeholder’ teams to fill-in the knockout stage tables. Once a team has progressed through the group
stage to the knockout stage edit the match schedule to change the placeholder team to the actual team.

How do update match scores ?

In the Teams and Matches tab – select the Id link in the table below, update score and check ‘Match Finished’

The countdown clock just shows ‘Clock’ and not a countdown

The Javascript file (js/wcp.js) for the clock has not been included correctly. Check that there are not any Javascript
optimizations plugins that may have removed the code. Also, verify in the page source that the JS file has
been included.

Can I change match times to my local time ?

Yes you can, by modifying each match to your local time. Please ensure you also modify the Timezone difference setting on the Overview
screen to reflect the change with respect to your server time. However, this is not very satisfactory, as your users may be in a different timezone to you.

To allow users to toggle between Russian time and users local time, see details in the setup section.

How do I limit the prediction form to just the Group stages ?

Use the shortcode [world-cup-predictor group=true]. For more options see the usage section.

How does the scoring system work for the knockout stages ?

At the knockout stage if a user predicts a win e.g. 3-2 they get either the exact points if the result is 3-2 or the win points if the result is 1-0

Penalties are included in either of the above, so if a user predicts 1(5)-1(4), and result is 1(5)-1(4) then exact points, if the result is 2(5)-2(4) it’s a correctly predicted win, however if the result is 1(4)-(1)5 they get points for the goal draw. It’s a reward for getting it ‘half-right’. If you don’t like that behaviour then once all the group match results have been entered and all the predictions scored, then modify the scoring configuration to change draw point to 0 (zero).

The bonus points for correct goals and goal difference ignore penalties.

There is nothing for extra time or golden goals as such.

Teams in the Group tables are not ordered the same as on the FIFA site

In the Admin->Teams matches modify the Group Order field to sort the teams manually for those with equal points, matches, goal difference etc.

If at the end of the Group stage FIFA draw lots to decide the winner of a group in the event of a tie, use this option to manually arrange the group table order.

See http://www.fifa.com/confederationscup/groups/index.html

On my French language blog dates and times are displayed in English

How do I change the kickoff time: “Jun 22 16:00″ to “22 Juin 16:00″

The locale for dates and times is determined by the MySQL Database settings

See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/locale-support.html

Day and month names are displayed in French if

mysql> SELECT @@lc_time_names;

returns fr_FR. Please see the MySQL docs above. You may need to add an appropriate setting to your wp-config.php file to set the database locale.

You may wish to consider the ‘toggle timezone’ feature described in the usage section to allow the users’ browser to perform
the conversion.
