About Badhub Widget
From the official readme · v0.3.0Description
Badhub Widget lets badminton clubs embed their current league table and match schedule on their own website. No technical knowledge required.
Features
- Live league table — always up to date, directly from badhub.de
- Match schedule — upcoming fixtures and past results with match reports
- Table + Schedule combined — both widgets in one
- Automatic height adjustment — the iframe resizes to fit its content
- Theme support — light mode, dark mode, or auto (follows the visitor’s system preference)
- Highlight your own club — your club’s row is visually emphasised
- Promotion/relegation markers — coloured indicators for promotion and relegation zones
- Club logos — optional logo display next to each team name
- Federation mode — display a full federation table (for federation websites)
- Works with any WordPress theme via shortcode or Gutenberg block
How it works
- Install and activate the plugin
- Go to Settings → Badhub Widget
- Enter your free API key (get one at plugin.badhub.de)
- Select your federation and club
- Insert
[badhub_widget]into any page or post
Shortcode options
[badhub_widget] — league table (default)
[badhub_widget type="matches"] — match schedule
[badhub_widget type="combined"] — table + schedule combined
[badhub_widget type="table" pool_id="12345"] — specific league pool
[badhub_widget theme="dark"] — dark mode
[badhub_widget highlight="0"] — disable own-club highlight
[badhub_widget promotion="0"] — hide promotion/relegation markers
[badhub_widget logos="0"] — hide club logos
Federation league system shortcode (`[badhub_liga]`)
Federations with an active Federation-tier license can embed the complete league system — all divisions, all tables, full match schedule with built-in 3-level navigation — using a single shortcode:
[badhub_liga federation="bvbb"] — full league widget for the BVBB federation
[badhub_liga federation="bvbb" ga="G-XXXXXXXX"] — with Google Analytics 4 tracking
[badhub_liga min_height="700"] — set initial iframe height (default 500)
The federation slug is required. If your Plugin Settings already specify a federation, the attribute can be omitted. Only federations with a valid Federation-tier license on badhub.de are served — other slugs return 403.
External service
This plugin connects to badhub.de to retrieve league tables and match data, and to plugin.badhub.de to render the widget iframe.

Changelog
0.3.0
- New
seasonattribute (e.g.season="21/22") — embed a finished season instead of the current one. Combine it with the matchingpool_id; the Widget Generator on plugin.badhub.de lists both per season - Archive tables (BVBB 2008/09–2019/20) are supported. They carry fewer figures than current seasons, so wins/draws/losses and game columns are hidden instead of showing zeros, and the widget labels them as an archive
- Widget Generator: season switcher plus a bulk view with every embed code for every season and team (copy all, download as .txt), and the transparent background option is now selectable there
0.2.0
- “Prüfen” button next to API key field — auto-fills the registered federation and club, locks them for free/pro keys (federation tier still has full freedom). Lock now persists across saves (15-min transient cache, server-side rendered)
- Fixed critical PHP TypeError when saving settings without selecting all fields (sanitize callbacks now accept null/empty values)
- New “Transparent background” option (
transparent="1"shortcode attribute) — widget background becomes transparent so the host page background shows through; theme (light/dark/auto) still drives text and border colours - New API endpoint
/api/v1/key-inforeturns tier, federation and registered club for the calling key
