Game Schedules 2.1 Released

Version 2.1 of the popular Game Schedules plugin was released last weekend. This version includes the following upgrades and bug fixes:

  • Added the user-requested option for a link from a game’s location field (displayed in the [shortcode] table and the countdown widget) to a specified URL.
  • Corrected a typo that make the new links on opponent entries not work in every scenario.
  • Fixed several bugs in the stylesheet and how it loads (enqueues).

Please install the latest version through our WordPress Dashboard’s Plugins window or download it here.

Game Schedules Plugin Version 2.0 Released Today

I released version 2.0 of the Game Schedules plugin a few minutes ago and it is now live on wordpress.org. This version contains several significant upgrades, but the one I am most jazzed about is internationalization. Thanks to the prodding and help of my friend Jurak in Split, Croatia, I took the time to figure out WordPress internationalization (or localization) and, like most things in WordPress, it is REALLY cool! So there is now a Croatian translation in the release, and a default.po file that translators can use to create more translations. Jurak also suggested some of the other upgrades described below.

  • Schedules can now go across multiple years. Schedules are now identified only by the ID, instead of ID and year (as in previous versions). The year field is now simply a part of the game date.
  • Added internationalization for the user interface only, not the admin pages. Provided a default .po file in the /lang directory for any would be translators out there, and a Croatian translation (in the mstw-loc-domain-hr_HR.po file).
  • Added a setting to countdown timer widget and an argument to the countdown timer shortcode that tells the countdown timer to use home games only.
  • Added team links. You can specify a URL for each game. The schedule table shortcode (not widget) will add a link to the specified URL on the opponent name.
  • Removed the “current time” field in the widget and argument in the shortcode. This was used only for testing and is not really needed. (There are other ways to test.)
  • Removed Quick Edit link from the editor. (It broke things and was unnecessary.)
