The Timelines module adds a play-by-play timeline to event pages. The timeline displays performance events (goals, cards, substitutions, and other timed stats) plotted along a visual representation of the match from kick-off to full time. It is part of SportsPress Pro.
​

The timeline section is registered as an event page template with the option key sportspress_event_show_timeline. Its default value is yes, so it is shown by default when the module is active.
​

To control whether the timeline appears on event pages, go to SportsPress → Settings → Events and look for the Timeline toggle in the event display section.
​

Go to SportsPress → Settings → Events → Timelines to configure the layout. The setting key is sportspress_timelines_format.
​

The timeline is populated from the sp_timeline post meta key on the event. This meta is set when you enter minute values in the box score. For each performance stat that is "timed" (the sp_timed property on the performance variable), a set of minute input fields appears below the stat count in the Player Performance meta box. Enter the minute(s) at which each occurrence happened (e.g., 23 for a goal at minute 23).
​

Substitution times are also recorded in the timeline. When a player's Status is set to Substitute, a minute input appears in the Status column for the substitution time.
​

The Timelines module registers the shortcode [sportspress_timeline] to embed a timeline for a specific event anywhere on the site.
