Bundesliga prediction game: integration into TYPO3 13 and 14

A prediction game for the German Bundesliga is one of the most effective ways to bring employees, customers and partners back to your website, intranet or extranet on a regular basis. Every matchday is a new reason to visit, and the leaderboard gets people talking well beyond the website.

The challenge

Many companies rely on external platforms for prediction games. Participants have to leave the company website, the design does not match the corporate identity, and personal data is stored with a third party. What was needed was a solution that fits completely into the existing TYPO3 website, uses the existing user accounts and can be run for a whole season with little maintenance.

The solution

ITS Hofmann presents a Bundesliga prediction game that is integrated directly into TYPO3 13 and 14 as an extension. The prediction game adopts the design of the website and is added to any page like any other content element.

Participants log in with their existing frontend user account and enter their tips for each matchday, on the smartphone as well. Fixtures and results are updated automatically, points are calculated after every match and the leaderboard is shown immediately. Editors manage seasons, matchdays and participants in the TYPO3 backend as usual.
