Mike Walsh's random thoughts and musings …
wp-SwimTeam
wp-SwimTeam is a WordPress plugin aimed at helping managing youth swim teams. The plugin is fairly comprehensive and is designed to interact with swim meet management software such as WinSwim and Hy-Tek Meet Manager.
You can learn more about wp-SwimTeam on the wp-SwimTeam web site.
does this work with wordpress multisite. I have installed and I cannot get the users to show up so there is no choice for parent. I thought it might be due to my multisite configuration?
thx

To be honest with you it has been a long time since I have tried it with multi-site. I will have to give it a shot and report back but it may be tomorrow before I can do so.
I just did a quick check on the only multi-site installation I have access to. My site uses sub-folders and wp-SwimTeam doesn’t work correctly. In particular, the various tabs don’t work correctly. I need to look at how the tabs are constructed, it requires tweaking the URL and I am guessing I am not accounting for the sub-folder installation correctly.
Thanks for looking into this Mike, that was cool. My brother is a swim team coach and I showed him wp-swim team yesterday and he thought it was brilliant. I donate a swim team informational site to him within my multisite set-up. He has no technical knowledge. It would be ideal if I could get this to work within my current setup. If you have any ideas on how to fix this issue please let me know. The user information is stored in the root directory of the wordpress install. I have a subdomain site setup configuration.
Thanks Barrett
I looked at this briefly the other day and I think I can make it work with some better URL parsing than I am currently doing. I need to finish the changes I am making right now to support Events correctly and once I’ve done that, I will take a look at fixing it for multi-site. My progress on Events is going pretty well but it is a big change because my original thinking on it was pretty flawed. I think I have most of the infrastructure changes done and am working on importing a Hy-tek Events File right now. Once that is working, I will likely do a release.

I have a preliminary build of wp-SwimTeam working under WordPress multi-site. If you can test it out and let me know I’d greatly appreciate it. It works on my sub-directory multi-site installation. You can find the details and the beta release of v1.19 on my wp-SwimTeam site.

Thanks Mike. Good luck with your events. Hope you get them working for summer swim season. Thanks for the great plugin. The Hy-Tek events file sounds great. I’ll keep looking for your update.

Hi Mike,
I just checked in on your plugin and have tried the new version. I have 2 different wordpress multisite installs. i have a subdomain and a subdirectory. It did not work on the subdomain so i tried it on my subdirectory site. It did not work there either. But since you said you got it to work on your subdomain install I tried running the plugin on the root. Basically it works at mysite.com and not mysite.com/swimteam. The users are nonexistent. I then tried it on my subdomain wp site and once again worked on the root mysite.com but not swimteam.mysite.com. I do not know if it worked on the root before because I never tried. I wanted to use the plugin on a subdomain site. Am I doing something wrong. Is it working on on your multisite install on a subdirectory site? Thanks V Barrett
Can you elaborate on what isn’t working? Do the various tabs and forms work? Are just the users missing? I’d be happy to look at it but I need some guidance on where to start. On my sub-directory installation I checked most of the menus and forms but I don’t think I tried adding another user.
on my installations i go to the swim team area and click on users. when I am in the original wordpress site, the root. there is a list of users. when i am in the sub-domain and subdirectory versions the same list is users is blank and it says no data found. I am not even listed and I am super admin with privledges on all accounts. I click on the myprofile tag and it shows all my info. i hit save. its says swim team user profile and the information is correct. then i click the users tab and once again there is no information saying no data found. It appears tabs are working, I can add a swimmer but there is “none” in the spot for parent. then I save and return to the myswimmer page and my swimmer is not listed. If I click on the team roster tab my swimmer is listed but not assigned a parent. The problem seems to only be accessing the user information.
Ok, that helps a lot. I am speculating that the list of users under multi-site requires me to use a different API call. I am working on a new release today, I’ll try and fix it and include it in the build.
I released a new build late yesterday but it does not include a fix for the missing users in multi-site. I did some reading last night and have a couple ideas to try.
I have a beta version of wp-SwimTeam posted which fixes a bunch of multi-site issues. Check it out and let me know if you find anything.
I have posted a beta release of v1.25 which addresses a bunch of user issues. Please give it a try and let me know how you make out.
Thanks Mike. I have users now. All appears to be working on your awesome plugin. I am going to spend the day checking it out and trying out some shortcocdes.
Thanks for everything, you ROCK!

Excellent, glad to hear it. BTW – I have updated the v1.25 beta release to address a few more issues.
