Scores scroll automatically across a sticky banner at the top (or bottom) of your forum, updating on a configurable interval. --- Features -------- [](#features) - 🏈 **FBS-only** — filters ESPN's API to Group 80 (NCAA Division I FBS) - 📡 **Live scores** with a pulsing green dot for in-progress games - 🏆 **AP/Coaches rankings** — shows `#N` next to ranked teams (Top 25) - 🖼️ **Team logos** pulled directly from ESPN's CDN - ⚙️ **Admin settings** — toggle on/off, top/bottom position, refresh interval, scroll speed - 📱 **Responsive** — logos hidden on narrow screens to keep ticker readable - 🔁 **Seamless loop** — CSS-only marquee with no layout jank - ♻️ **Auto-refresh** — polls ESPN API on a configurable interval (default 60s) --- Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - **Flarum** `^2.0` - **PHP** `^8.3` - No external PHP dependencies --- Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require ernestdefoe/espn-cfb-ticker ``` Then enable the extension in your Flarum admin panel under **Extensions**. --- Building JavaScript ------------------- [](#building-javascript) If you're contributing or modifying the extension: ``` cd js npm install npm run build # production build npm run dev # watch mode ``` --- Admin Settings -------------- [](#admin-settings) SettingDefaultDescriptionEnable Ticker`true`Show/hide the ticker sitewidePosition`top`Sticky top or fixed bottomRefresh Interval`60` secondsHow often to poll ESPN API (min 15s)Scroll Speed`40`Per-game animation multiplier (lower = faster)--- How It Works ------------ [](#how-it-works) 1. On page load the extension mounts a Mithril component outside Flarum's main app node. 2. The component `fetch()`es `https://site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/football/college-football/scoreboard?groups=80&limit=50` — the public ESPN API, no key required. 3. Games are rendered in a CSS `@keyframes` scroll animation. The track is duplicated so the loop is seamless. 4. A `setInterval` re-fetches on the configured interval, causing a Mithril redraw. --- ESPN API Notes -------------- [](#espn-api-notes) The ESPN public scoreboard API (`site.api.espn.com`) is unofficial and undocumented but has been widely used by developers for years. It requires no API key and returns JSON. The `groups=80` parameter restricts results to FBS schools. --- Support ------- [](#support) Questions, bug reports, and feature requests: - **Support forum:** - **Issues:** License ------- [](#license) [MIT](LICENSE) © 2026 ernestdefoe ### Health Score 40 — FairBetter than 86% of packages Maintenance97 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity12 Limited adoption so far Community8 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity38 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 87.5% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
