The latest release of the Sportal365 system introduces unveils new features, as well as several improvements to Tags, Categories, and Lists.

Improved Tags functionality

From now on, depending on the football connections you select in the Tags tab of your post, you will get more Upcoming/Past matches suggestion to choose from than before. Moreover, we have added a filter that can further help you segment your match search.

Load more Upcoming/Past match suggestions

We have greatly expanded the number of suggested matches users can pick from in the Upcoming/Past matches section. We have added a new Load more button that lets you browse past the seven-match limit used before.

Previously, when you tagged a post with a football connection (team/player/tournament), the system offered only 7 upcoming/past matches as suggestions to use for your post.

New match filter

Another improvement to the Tags section is the Matches filter. It lets journalists create detailed match searches in relation to the defined football connections.

You can filter matches for a certain team based on tournament, season, and date.

Better Category organization

Release 3.13.0. greatly simplifies the experience of creating categories and arranging them in any order you want. Now, once you create categories, you can reorder them to create hierarchical trees or leave them as standalone categories.

To do that, simply select a category from the Category dashboard and drag/drop it under another category. The more sub-categories you add, the longer the parent/child structure and vice versa.

Faster editing of Lists

The latest update of the CMS makes editing and adding content to Lists quicker.

Before when you wanted to add a post (Article, Video, or Gallery) to an already created list, you had to type in and search for available content.

At present, you can still search a query, but you can also only select the type of post you want to search for–Article, Video, Gallery–, and the system will offer you the last 20 pieces of content. It could be The last 20 Videos, The last 20 Articles, or The last 20 Galleries.

Widget improvements

Along with the new widgets and features, three other football widgets come with improved functionality in release 3.13.0.

Standings widget

The latest update to the Standings widget focuses on the improvement of the legend display and the way a specific team is positioned so that teams above/below are visible as well.

• Control the display of legend use: displayLegend: true/false

• Add a team with the option: teamId + teamOffset

Top

scorers widget

Match list widget
