wp-SwimTeam v1.34-beta with Hy-tek HY3 meet entries!

Tonight I posted an early build of wp-SwimTeam v1.34.  You can download it and manually install it if you would like to try it.  This build introduces the ability to export Meet Entries in Hy-tek HY3 format which can be imported directly into Team Manager and Meet Manager.

This build also addresses a number of bugs I’ve encountered, the most notable being the inability to generate a single swimmer roster export in SDIF and HY3 formats.  Instead of just one swimmer, the entire roster was exported.  This has been fixed.  The CSV export was not affected by the bug.

Please let me know if you run into any issues.  I plan to release this later today after some more testing.

If you run into any problems, please let me know.  I’d like to release this update in the next day or so.

wp-SwimTeam v1.33.949 now available

After a day of testing on the MacDolphins site without any issues, I have released v1.33.949.  There are no changes between this build and the v1.33 beta build except the version number and the removal of the beta tag.

This build fixes a number of problems related to swimmer and user data which surfaced after I changed the database queries I was using in v.1.32.

  • Fixed bug which prevented generating roster report.
  • Fixed bug which prevented scratching swimmers from Meet tab.
  • Added additonal table to Meet Report when operating in Stroke mode which reports number of swimmers Opting In or Opting Out per age group.
  • Completed first phase Meet Entries export in Hy-tek HY3 format. Not exposed on the GUI yet.
  • Fixed bug which prevented Job Reminder emails from being sent.

You can find the update on the Download & Installation page or in the WordPress Plugin Repository.

wp-SwimTeam v1.32.931 now available

After a few days of testing on the MacDolphins site without any issues, I have decided to go ahead and release v1.32.931.  There are no changes between this build and the beta build except the version number and the removal of the beta tag.

The primary feature in this update is new SQL which addresses performance problems when working with user data, particularly when is relates to swimmers.  The Job Commitment Report was particularly noticeable in how slow it was (4-5 minutes) if it completed at all.  The SQL addresses that performance problem however since it used extensively across the plugin I wanted to make sure I hadn’t broken something else.

You can find the update on the Download & Installation page or in the WordPress Plugin Repository.

Early build of wp-SwimTeam v1.31 now available

This afternoon I posted an early build of wp-SwimTeam v1.31.  You can download and manually install it if you want to try it.  This build completes the work for exporting the roster to Hy-tek Team Manager.  All of the swimmer and parent fields that can be logically mapped into the Team Manager Athlete profile have been mapped.  I was even able to map some of the Swimmer Optional fields (if they’re used) as Hy-tek Team Manager supports importing up to three custom fields.

If you run into any problems, please let me know.  I’d like to release this update in the next day or so.

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.

And there was much rejoicing – Hy-tek HY3 export now in beta!

I have made an early release of wp-SwimTeam v1.28 available for download.  This new version introduces a long requested a feature:  Hy-tek HY3 format export of the roster!  The exported HY3 can be read into Hy-tek Team Manager eliminating the need to hand enter your roster.

The Hy-tec HY3 support is not complete but I wanted to get it out there.  Currently only D1 records are exported, the other record types which contain the contact information and address for the swimmer will be added soon.  Once the roster is complete I plan to move on to meet entries in HY3 format.

Special thanks to Joe Hance and Troy Delano both who have helped me with the Hy-tek checksum and file format.

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

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 v1.25.865 now available

This afternoon I released an update to wp-SwimTeam.  This update, v1.25.865, fixes a number of issues and adds some new features.  Key in this build are a number of fixes to allow wp-SwimTeam to work under WordPress Multi-Site.

  1. Fixed issue with missing users when running under Multi-Site.
  2. Fixed User Drop Down select lists to work when running under Multi-Site.
  3. Fixed display of swim meet date in several locations eliminating PHP warning message.
  4. Updated SDIF profile success message presentation.
  5. Added support for Swimmer Labels in SDIF Roster export.
  6. Added support for Swimmer Labels in SDIF Meet Entries export.
  7. Fixed default sort order on Age Groups so it is predictable.

The new build replaces the latest beta release and is available from the Download page and from the WordPress plugin repository.

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.
