wp-SwimTeam v1.30.906 addresses entries export bug

In the processes of getting ready for our first meet I found some swimmers who had scratched still appeared in the entries SDIF file.  Odd, this isn’t supposed to be.  Looking into the problem I found that only Freestyle was being processed correctly, all other strokes were not being recognized for Opt-In or Opt-Out.

I have fixed this bug and uploaded a new version as well as pushed it to the WordPress plugin repository.

wp-SwimTeam v1.29.903 now available

I have just pushed out v1.29.903 of wp-SwimTeam.  This update addresses a couple of bugs, notably with the Job Commitments report, and adds some new functionality.

New in v1.29:

  • Fixed bug which prevented the Job Commitment report from running correctly.
  • Fixed bug which caused “$credit” to appear in the CSV version of the Job Committment Report instead of the actual number.
  • Added new option to set initial value on swimmer labels with numeric sequences.
  • Fixed bug with SDIF profile when Geography was set to US which resulted in a broken form.
  • Elimited some debug code which generated output when exporting entries.

Also included in this build are all of the changes included in the v1.28 beta release which I never formally made available.

  • Added button to Swim Team User Profile form to quickly open user’s WordPress User Profile form.
  • Tidied up several of the reports to make them consistent. Each should now display the HTML report on screen when exporting another format.
  • Re-implemented download solution for actions which generate downloadable files (e.g. CSV, SDIF, etc.)
  • Phase 1 of Hy-tek HY3 export support. Roster can be exported in HY3 format which imports into Hy-tek Team Manager.
  • Fixed bug which enabled job signup for all users regardless of setting on Jobs Options tab.

This update has been committed to the WordPress Plugin Repository and should appear on your WordPress Dashboard shortly and is also available from the Download and Installation page.

Job Bug in v1.25 and v1.26!

There is a pretty serious bug in the last couple of releases. It appears that the changes I made to support Multi-Site affected the Jobs module.

It appears that jobs that have already been committed to one user appear as available to all other users.

I am at a Lacrosse tournament and have limited access from my phone to be sure. For now, I recommend putting your Jobs module in “Admin” sign up mode until I investigate later tonight. Use the Jobs tab on the Options menu to disable User job sign up.

Update 5/13/2012:  This bug has been fixed in v1.27, please update ASAP.

wp-SwimTeam v1.26.871 released tonight

I released a second build today, v1.26.871 was pushed out late tonight.  I don’t like to do this as constantly having the Update notice on your Dashboard can be a bit of a nuisance.  We’re gearing up for Swim Team, he have our season opening party in one week so I’ve am trying to get ready and have been working on the plugin a lot over the past few days.

This build addresses a few minor nits but the primary new feature is the ability to display the meet time as part of the wpst_meet_schedule short code.

  1. I’ve added a new option to Miscellaneous tab to control how time is formatted. Usage of the format is not yet pervasive through the plugin.
  2. Enhanced wpst_meet_schedule shortcode with two new attributes: fmt=’time format’ and ‘showtime=yes|no’. Default is not to show the time and use the time setting from the Miscellaneous tab. The fmt attribute expects a string formatted following the conventions outlined in the PHP date function.
  3. Removed redundant code from Swim Meet module.

The build has been pushed to the WordPress plugin repository and also appears on my Download & Installation page.

wp-SwimTeam v1.25 beta release

I have made an early release of wp-SwimTeam v1.25 available for download.  This new version addresses a number of issues when running wp-SwimTeam under WordPress Multi-Site.

Update 5/10/2012 @ 23:16:  I have updated the 1.25 beta release, fixing a number of issues where PHP warning were issues due to passing the wrong format of the date to strtotime().  I have also fixed a few other minor issues with the various Options forms so they work consistently across all forms.

Please give it a shot and let me know if you run into any issues.

wp-SwimTeam v1.24.846 now available

This afternoon I posted an update to wp-SwimTeam.  This release, v1.24.846, addresses a couple of issues.

  1. In ability to add a new season to a new installation.  Made it kind of hard to get started!  This bug was introduced when I added action checking and the action checking on the Seasons had a flaw in it.
  2. Added B1 and B2 records to the SDIF export of Meet Entries.  These records are required and I had simply overlooked them.  The Meet Entries successfully import into WinSwim, I hope to validate with Team Manager in the next day or two.

WordPress multi-site is not functional at this time.  I’ve been alerted to a bug which I am chasing which prevents the Users from being displayed.  Access to the user tables is critical and multi-site handles it differently than regular WordPress does so I need to account for it.

wp-SwimTeam v1.23.838 now available

I have fixed the bugs I noted over the weekend and also re-implemented the SDIF LSC Registration Pyramid export.  The new export validates with the WinSwim SDIF Checker and I have successfully imported the MacDolphins’ 2012 summer roster into WinSwim with it.  I fixed a few other bugs I found including one which prevented updating User Profiles.

The new version is available from the Download page and from the WordPress plugin repository.

As always, if you run into any issues, let me know!

 

wp-SwimTeam v1.22.831 now available

This evening I committed v.122 of wp-SwimTeam to the WordPress plugin repository.  This update completes the work I started about a month ago to overhaul the Event Model and add the ability to Export Meet entries in SDIF format such that they can be imported directly into any of the Meet Management applications.

I have made a lot of changes while working on this new functionality.  If you run into anything unusual, please let me know ASAP so I can fix it.

  • Added new Team Profile field to identify Coach by WordPress username.
  • Fixed numerous potential issues when either Swimmer or User option count was set to zero. The comparison was not accounting for the difference between zero and non-existant which resulted in using the default value of 5 in many instances.
  • Initial support for Meet Entries SDIF export. The current implementation makes some assumptions which will eventually be under user control via a form. The exported SDIF validates with the WinSwim SDIF Checker application but has not been tested extensively with any of the Hy-tek tools nor with WinSwim itself.
  • Added checking and error messages for all Actions to ensure something is selected when required.
  • Added GUI for Meet Entries Export.

wp-SwimTeam v1.22.823 beta now available

I have made an early release of wp-SwimTeam v1.22 available for download.  This new version introduces the ability to export a Meet Entries file in SDIF format.  I touched a lot of code as I worked on this feature and fixed a bunch of bugs as well as some nits which have always bothered me.  This version also adds checking on the various actions to ensure that when a selection is required, one has been made.

Please give it a shot and let me know if you run into any issues.

wp-SwimTeam v1.21.790 released

This morning I released v1.20.790 of wp-SwimTeam.  This release addresses a bug which only appears on some hosting configurations where the URL http://www.example.com and http://example.com don’t resolve to the same place.   It isn’t clear to me why the server variables sometimes truncate the prefix but in some cases it happens and in some cases it makes a big difference.

Thanks to a couple teams for letting me access their site and chase this problem down as it doesn’t happen on my own sites.  This version makes use of the WordPress API (which I probably should have done that in the first place) to construct URLs for the tabs instead of parsing the PHP server variables. I’ve done a fair amount of testing on four different sites over the past 24 hours so I feel pretty good about the new implementation.

I have also incorporated this URL fix into the construction of the links on the Tabs for the Swim Team, Manage, Reports, and Options pages.  While I wasn’t having a problem here, the new solution is the “correct” way to construct the URL and should be more robust in different WordPress configurations.  WordPress has already figured out the various server configurations, no need to reinvent the wheel!

The update has been pushed to the WordPress Plugin Repository so you should see an Upgrade notification on the Dashboard soon if it isn’t already there.  This build is also available from the Download and Installation page.
