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!
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.
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.
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.
This afternoon I released an update to wp-SwimTeam. This latest update continues work on the new Event Model. Events can now be imported from a Hy-tek Events File (.hyv) and connected to a swim meet. I also made a number of GUI improvements to fix flow control and be more intuitive. Other changes include:
This update is available now from the WordPress Plugin Repository or from the Download and Installation page. Existing users should see an update notification appear on the WordPress Dashboard.
If you run into any problems, please let me know and I will try and fix them ASAP. We’re gearing up for swim team season so I am actively engaged in adding features and fixing bugs right now. My next effort, which I’ve already started, is what I refer to as Phase 3 of the new Event Model which will provide the ability to export a Meet Entries file accounting for scratches and/or registrations which can be loaded directly into one of the various Swimming applications (e.g. Hy-tek, WinSwim, and others).
I flew out to Phoenix and back this week and had some airplane time to work on wp-SwimTeam. I have completed what I am calling “Phase 2” of the Event Model changes. Events can now be assigned to a swim meet AND the Opt-In/Opt-Out system is working in the Event Mode (which I had broken in v1.18).
The majority of the work in this build is related to Events and their connection to swim meets which is the precursor to Phase 3 which will be the generation of Meet Entries in SDIF format that can be imported into tools like MeetManager and WinSwim. I have also fixed quite a few bugs in the report manager which were present when either the User or Swimmer option count was set to zero. There was some logic that didn’t test right and would result in using the default count which is 5. So if you have seen checkboxes without labels on the User or Swimmer report generator, this has been fixed.
Please let me know if you run into any issues. I am doing some testing with our team right now and we have our pre-season open house this weekend which tends to result in a good chunk of our registrations. Assuming all goes well, I’ll release an update to the WordPress repository early next week if not sooner.
[download#14#image]If you updated to any of the wp-SwimTeam v1.16.x releases you must update again to v1.17.707. I inadvertently introduced a bug which prevented almost all of the registration (season, swim meet, etc.) actions. I quickly fixed this bug once I became aware of it, I apologize for any inconvenience.
This afternoon I posted an update to wp-SwimTeam. You can get v1.13.669 from the download page or update from the WordPress plugin repository (recommended). This update fixes several bugs:
The update is already in the WordPress plugin repository so you should see notification on your Dashboard soon.
There was a typo in one of commits I made over the weekend which resulted in the Opt-In/Opt-Out CC address not working correctly. This release fixes that problem (which was affecting the MacDolphins). The release is available from the Download page and has also been committed to the Plugin repository. It should appear via the Auto-Updater in the next hour or two.
Update: I had the version number wrong in the post title – the correct version is 1.12.662.
I have uploaded an early release of 1.9.646 to the Downloads page. This new version has the ability to send out Job Assignment reminder e-mails. There is a new action available from the Manage->Swim Meets tab called “Job Reminders”. This action will pull all of the job assignments for the requested meet and send a reminder e-mail to each person.
The MacDolphins are testing this functionality this weekend for our Time Trials on Tuesday and barring any problems, I’ll make it available via the WordPress plugin repository later tonight or early tomorrow. If you want it early, download it and install it manually from the Download page.
