There was a bug in the scratch process where if you started on the Meets tab when the Scratch action was selected, there was not a list of swimmers presented for the user to scratch. When starting on the Roster page and selecting a swimmer to scratch did work properly. The bug has been fixed and v0.2.488 is now available for download and both paths, starting with a meet or starting with a swimmer, now work correctly. The same bug would have affected Opt-In meets as well.

wp-SwimTeam documentation?
Like a lot of projects, documentation for wp-SwimTeam is severely lacking. It has been on my to-do list for a long time and I have been thinking about it recently. I was heading down the Wiki route recently and actually got one set up. I’ve never been a big Wiki fan but I do see their attraction for certain types of projects.
I personally prefer “real” documentation and by “real” I mean something you can print and read away from the computer. I’ve always like the model that used by Version Control with Subversion has used. The source is in DocBook format which means it can easily be produced as web pages, a PDF file, or an actual book.
Right now I am leaning toward using the DocBook format. At a minimum I am going to try it and see how it goes. Stay tuned!
LifeStream out, FeedWordPress in
For a while I have wanted this blog to be little more than an aggregator for some of the other thins I am working on. I thought LifeStream would do that and it does … sort of. LifeStream does a pretty good job of catching what is new, particularly from the Social sites (e.g. FaceBook, Twitter, etc.) and linking to it. What it doesn’t do is actually display content in a way where it can be read without leaving this site.
So I have moved LifeStream over to the sidebar using the LifeStream widget and reduced the number of feeds it monitors. In its place, I am now using FeedWordPress which is a plugin that monitors feeds and add the content as posts to this blog. Yes, some of the content is duplicated and I am ok with that. It allows me to have a single place where all of the content is available in one spot.
I prefer to post in content specific sites (e.g. on www.wp-SwimTeam.org) for certain projects so that material is self contained. But at the same time, I want that material to exist in the steam of all of the other things I am doing (this blog). So far it is working as I expected although I did end up with a category explosion when I added a couple feeds. That took a little while to sort out.
Playing with wp LifeStream
I’ve got stuff spread all over the place and don’t have any one single location where I have everything collected in one spot. Pictures on Flickr, nonsense on Facebook, posts on NCLTC or NCLUG, my Swim Team Plugin project … lots of stuff.
Recently I was listening to a WordPress podcast and heard a mention of a WordPress LifeStream plugin which sounded interesting. Today I downloaded it and checked it out. If does seem to allow setting up a whole slew of feeds into WordPress which is pretty much what I was looking for. We’ll see how it goes.
Right now I have sticky post pinned to the top of this site – I suspect anything below it will be overshadowed although I don’t expect to post a lot to this site directly. It is more of an attempt to aggregate all of the other stuff I do in one place.
wp-SwimTeam v0.1.418 – quick SDIF fix!
I posted wp-SwimTeam v0.1.418 late tonight to the download page. This update fixes a minor problem with SDIF generation of the roster. In certain instances the first name field would be empty.

wp-SwimTeam v0.1.390 – minor bug fix release
This morning I uploaded a new version of wp-SwimTeam. It is available on the download page. This version fixes a minor bug that somehow I overlooked. The bug manifested as a PHP syntax error on the Reports menu. No other changes are included in this build.

wp-SwimTeam v0.1.389 released
This evening I uploaded a new version of wp-SwimTeam. It is available on the download page. This version introduces a new report for swim meets. The Swim Meet report’s most important feature is the listing of swimmers who have Opted-In or Opted-Out of a swim meet. On the MacDolphins we call this a the Scratch List.
A parent can now indicate when their swimmers are participating (for meets defined as opt-in) or not participating (for meets defined as opt-out) on either a full meet or event basis. The meet report will display a summary of swimmer participation based on the type of meet.
A couple of the options on the Report Form are disabled because they aren’t functional yet. They will probably work in a day or two.
This release also introduces a new mode for Swimmer Labels – Frozen. When Swimmer Labels are unlocked, they can be bulk assigned. When they are locked, Swimmer Labels can be edited on a per swimmer basis but no bulk assigned. When they are frozen, they can’t be edited at all. I added this because I inadvertently reassigned the swimmer labels for the MacDolphins yesterday without meaning to. Whoops.
I fixed a few other minor issues as well but nothing significant, mostly presentation of forms and such.
wp-SwimTeam v0.1.376 – bug fixes for Add/Register Swimmer
In the build I posted yesterday there were a couple of bugs which prevented the auto-registration feature to work when a swimmer is added. There was also a bug in the age verification which allowed swimmers outside of the age range to added to the system and then registered for the active season.
If you download v0.1.375 yesterday, you will want to download v0.1.376 and update the plugin.
