SCHEDULE LAYOUT

[Stephen Whiting]

Great plugin
We are a bowls club in the UK and whilst this is a summer sport during the winter we play friendly matches between ourselves in the form of a small league, we do not have fixed dates to play on so we call them Rounds.

We therefore are looking for a very simple structure, in the link below you can see what we are trying to achieve, I was hoping it might be possible to change

Lions at Tigers to Lions v Tigers (see our shedule on link below)
also as we have rounds instead of dates I have used the media link function as a way of displaying the round (problem being you need to add a link) is there a better way of doing this.

Hi
A little more explanation
in UK Matches are always displayed as A V B Where A is always the home team the problem with A at B is the second name team is the home team

and it seems very confusing and alien

Hope you understand what I am trying to explain

Hi Stephen,
Rounds instead of Dates, eh? Hummm ….

I’m going to assume you are talking about a round robin schedule, not a ‘bracket’ or knock-out rounds. If so, you might want to take a look at the MSTW Schedule Builder plugin. https://shoalsummitsolutions.com/sb-schedule-builder-intro/. I don’t think it will quite get you want you want, but at least the management might be better.

There is a Game Status Append on the Manage Games screen where you might be able to add “Round 1” to the game status (or time).

The problem with home and away is that when meets where introduced, it did not make sense to have home and visitor columns for meets. But games (or dual meets) are usually mixed in with bigger meets. In is not perfect … yet :). There should be a way to turn off meets (show_meets=0) in a shortcode and regain the home and away columns. The column order can then be switched in the Schedule settings tab.

There is also filter that allows you to change @ to vs or whatever. You have to write a bit of code for that, but I think there’s a code snippet for it. In fact there may be a test function remarked out in the mstw-league-manager.php file.

I hope some of those ideas will help you.

Thanks that has helped a lot

but am struggling with

any further expansion on this would be helpful

I have tried to find the code snippet without success and viewed mstw-league-manager.php but couldnt find what you referred to.

I am not all that familiar with this type of modification and if using code snippet can I use a code snippet plugin to implement it

“Upon further review” it looks like there is not a filter, so nevermind! I guess I was thinking about using WordPress I18N (Internationalization/translation) to change ‘at’ and ‘vs’ to whatever you want. But nevermind that because …

Upon looking that the code, if you set the argument show_meets=0, then the home and away columns reappear and you can change their order and their headings on the settings screen. I think that will work better for you.

Thank you that has worked out well

Okay. Great.

Hi

Thankyou very much for your help and this will be my last question. when putting information in that shows up on the schedule is there for want of a better term an invisible character that allows you to put blank space in. I have tried Alt255 but that doesn’t work.
Its not crucial but would be nice to be able to do

Thanks

Solved
