The new latest features of the Sportal365 content management platform include new football widget blocks, as well as a Polls block.

Football widgets preview

Release 3.13.0. introduces a functionality allowing you to preview Football widget blocks before adding them to Articles, Videos, or Galleries.

The preview offers a look at how the widget will display inside your post (and on your website), as well as gives a short summary of what the widget does. This helps you quickly decide whether it is the right widget to use or not.

 Previewing a widget before adding it to your post

 The preview of football widgets without adding them to your post happens from the block menu. To do so:

1. Select the + button used for adding blocks.

2. Then, select Football widgets.

3. Once the Football widgets menu expands, hover over a widget to preview it.

On the image below you can see the preview of the Player profile widget.

Team form widget

The Team form widget is a new football widget that allows you to show in your post how a team performs after a specific number of matches.

The Team form widget analyzes a team’s performance during the last 15 matches, adds the points the team gains for each Win (3pts.) /Loss (0pts.) /Draw (1pts.), and then divides them by the total number of points (12pt.) to display how the team is doing i.e. Bad/Good/Very good/Excellent.

Adding the Team form widget to a post

To add a Team form widget to a post (Article, Video, or Gallery):

1. Select the + button to open the blocks menu.

2. Then, Football widgets-->Team form.

3. Once the widget configuration panel opens, enter a Team / Tournament / Season and set a Match limit.

4. When done, select Save Block.

Polls block

With this latest update of the Sportal365 CMS, you can add Polls inside your posts (articles, videos, and galleries) to gauge the opinion of your audience. Polls can be added as a new block directly from the body of your post.

Adding a Poll block to your post

To add a Poll block to your post, you need to create a poll first. See How to create a new poll.

After you have created a poll:

1. Select the + button to expand the blocks menu.

2. Then, select Content-->Polls.

3. When theconfiguration screen opens, enter the name of your created poll inside the Choose poll box.

Note
Remember, you first have to create a poll to be able to select it.

4. When done, select Save block.
