Ice Hockey Lineups Widget

The Lineups widget lists the starting players and substitutes for both sides in a single Ice Hockey match.

Preconditions

• Your project must have the Ice Hockey feature enabled. Widget categories are switched on per project, so if Ice Hockey widgets does not appear in the block picker, ask your administrator to enable it.
• You need permission to create or edit articles.
• Lineups are published shortly before a match, so an early fixture may have none yet.

Adding the Ice Hockey Lineups Widget to a post

To set up the widget:

1. Open an article for editing, or create a new one.
2. Below the blocks in the article body is a row of quick-add buttons: the content blocks first, then one icon for each sport enabled on your project, then +. Hover an icon to see its name — the Ice Hockey icon is hovered here.

   

3. Select the Ice Hockey icon, then choose Lineups from the widget list that opens.

   

4. Set the widget options. Team, Show coach, Show first team and Show substitutes control what it shows.

   

5. Check the options are the ones you want. Some fields depend on others, so a list can be empty until you set the field above it.

   

6. The match list has Upcoming games, Past games and Interrupted games tabs. They read “No games found” until a team is set; then Upcoming games lists the team’s scheduled matches and Past games its finished ones. If Upcoming games stays empty, the team has no scheduled matches — open Past games. Select the specific match you want — the widget has nothing to show until one is checked. Once a match is checked, Home team color and Away team color appear below the list.

   

7. When done, select Save block.

   

8. Hover the saved block. Of the controls that appear (Copy embed code, Preview, Edit and Remove), select Preview to see the real widget.

What the Ice Hockey Lineups Widget shows

For each side the widget shows:

• Line 1 – Line 4 — line tabs: each line’s players drawn on a rink, one tab per line
• Coach — head coach: each team’s coach, under the rink
• Starting lineups — starting players: both teams’ players side by side, with shirt numbers; a puck icon marks a goal and PP a power-play goal
• Substitutes — substitutes: players available from the bench, in their own list once Show substitutes is switched on

Preview of the Ice Hockey Lineups Widget

The widget shows each line on a rink, with both coaches and the starting lineups underneath.

If no lineups have been published for the match, the widget shows “No data to display”.

Good to know

• The preview area is narrower than a published page, so the widget uses its compact layout there and may hide columns that the published version shows.
• The widget always renders whichever version of the sports widgets library your project is on. There is no version to set.
