Description

Basketball Scorebook is a lightweight, single-page application that runs directly within your WordPress site via a shortcode. It allows you to record basketball games digitally with the precision of a professional table official.

Unlike traditional paper scorebooks, this “RecordedScorebook” automatically tracks the timestamps of major events (scores, fouls, timeouts), giving you a complete timeline of the game.

Key Features:

Real‑time Scoring: Input 2P, 3P, and FT. Player stats are auto-calculated.
Timestamped Events: Every foul and timeout is recorded with the exact game time.
Running Score: Visual running score (1–160 pts) tracking with time and player number.
Print Ready: Designed to print perfectly on A4 landscape paper or save as PDF via the browser.
Data Persistence and Backup: Auto-saves to browser LocalStorage, so your data won’t be lost even if the page is accidentally refreshed. However, to protect against browser cache clearing or device failure, we strongly recommend exporting to JSON for important games.
JSON Import/Export: Save match data as JSON files for backup, sharing, or templates.
No Database Bloat: All data is handled client-side (Alpine.js). It does not clutter your WordPress database.

Usage:

Simply add the shortcode [basketball_scorebook] to any page or post.
For the best experience, we recommend using a “Full-Width” page template to maximize the workspace.

FAQ

How is data saved?: Data is automatically saved to your browser’s LocalStorage every 3 seconds. It does not save to your WordPress database.
Can I backup my scorebook data?: Yes, you can export your game data as a JSON file and import it anytime. We recommend doing this for important games.
Can I print or export to PDF?: Yes! Click the “Print” button or press Ctrl+P (Cmd+P on Mac) to print or save as PDF. The layout is optimized for A4 Landscape.
Does this plugin collect telemetry or analytics?: By default, No. The plugin does not send any analytics/telemetry unless you explicitly opt in from the settings page.
If you opt in, the plugin sends anonymous event counts only (plugin version, WordPress/PHP version, locale, and event name). It does not send your site URL, email address, or any scorebook contents.

Changelog

Updated: Tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Improved: Synchronized schema and adapter layers to support game parameter sharing (roster/coach cancellation states: rosterCancelled, coachCancelled, assistantCoachCancelled) for seamless data compatibility with Mini Basketball edition.

1.0.8

Fixed: Resolved a critical data reversion bug where newly updated event logs or annotations could be overwritten by older localStorage data.
Improved: Extended the saved data schema (adds game parameters meta.quarterLength/overtimeLength and D&D court positions liveState.homeCourtPositions/awayCourtPositions behind the scenes) to prepare for future Mini Basketball edition synchronization.
Improved: Enhanced mapping logic for event logs and liveState to ensure better data integrity when loading and importing game files.

1.0.7

Updated: Tested up to WordPress 7.0.

1.0.6

Added: Suggested privacy policy text via wp_add_privacy_policy_content() so site owners can clearly describe LocalStorage usage and optional anonymous telemetry.

1.0.5.3

Fixed: Resolved “Update failed” error when saving posts while using this plugin together with pubsubhubbub or similar plugins.

Fixed: Settings page now reliably saves when turning anonymous usage statistics (telemetry) back OFF, by always posting an explicit 0 value for the opt-in checkbox.
