Volleyball Tournament Programme Widget

The Tournament Programme widget lists the fixtures for an entire volleyball competition and season, grouped by round.

Preconditions

• Your project must have the Volleyball feature enabled. Widget categories are switched on per project, so if Volleyball widgets does not appear in the block picker, ask your administrator to enable it.
• You need permission to create or edit articles.
• The competition and season you choose must have fixtures recorded.

Adding the Volleyball Tournament Programme Widget to a post

To set up the widget:

1. Open an article for editing, or create a new one.
2. Hover over a block in the article body. A row of icons appears, one for each sport enabled on your project — the Volleyball icon is highlighted here.

   

3. Select the Volleyball icon, then choose Tournament Programme from the widget list that opens.

   

4. Set the widget options. Competition, Season, Stage, Round and others 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. When done, select Save Block.

   

7. Hover the widget block and select the preview control to see the real widget.

Volleyball Tournament Programme Widget options

• Competition (required) — The competition whose data you want to show.
• Season — The season within the chosen competition. Options depend on which competition you selected above.
• Stage — Limits the widget to a single stage of the competition, such as a group phase or a knockout round.
• Round — Limits the programme to a single round rather than the whole competition.
• Limit — The maximum number of rows to display.
• Date from — The start of the date range to show fixtures for.
• Date to — The end of the date range to show fixtures for.
• Sort direction of fixtures — Whether upcoming fixtures are listed soonest-first or furthest-first.
• Sort direction of results — Whether past results are listed most-recent-first or oldest-first.
• Display widget header — Shows the widget’s own heading above its content.
• Default header option — Which grouping is shown first when the widget loads, before a reader picks another.
• Refresh time — Controls how often the published widget refetches its data. Leave empty to use your project’s global refresh setting.

What the Volleyball Tournament Programme Widget shows

Each fixture row shows:

• Date — kick-off: when the match is played, in your project timezone
• Teams — the two sides: home and away teams with their crests
• R — result: sets won by each side once the match is complete

Preview of the Volleyball Tournament Programme Widget

The widget lists fixtures grouped by round for the competition and season you selected.

Troubleshooting

• The Season list is empty — Many volleyball competitions have no seasons recorded yet, and the widget cannot render without one. Pick a different competition — the Season list is filtered by whichever competition you chose.
• The widget looks like a plain summary card — The collapsed and edit views show a CMS summary, not the widget itself. Hover the block and select the preview control to see the real widget.

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.
