A couple of new features have been added to wp-SwimTeam.
- It is now possible to export a single swimmer’s record to CSV of SDIF. When a single swimmer is selected, the exported file will contain the information for just that swimmer. When no swimmers are selected, the entire roster will be exported. Single swimmer SDIF export is useful for importing late additions into WinSwim which is something I’ve had to do a few times this week.
- The LSC Registration Pyramid (SDIF) can now be generated using the Age Group Age (computed base on cut off date) instead of the swimmer’s true age. By default the real age is exported which is what wp-SwimTeam has done traditionally. If you want to use the computed Age Group Age, change the setting on the SDIF Profile tab from the Options menu.
A new version, v0.2.486, of wp-SwimTeam is available for download from the Download page.
A new version of wp-SwimTeam has been posted. This releases fixes a couple minor bugs which prevented display of swim meet information in certain situations when scratching or registering from a swim meet. This version also introduces two new features:
- Open or Close the registration system. When the registration system is open, users can register their swimmers for the current season. When the registration system is closed, only an Admin or Editor can register swimmers. This setting appears on the Registration tab from the Options sub-menu.
- Enable or disable user sign ups for jobs. When the job system is set for user sign ups, a user can sign up for any open job. When the job system is set for admin sign up, users with either Admin or Editor roles can sign users up for jobs. This second mode is good for teams where a paper or Excel list is used for job sign ups. This setting appears on the Swim Team tab from the Options sub-menu.
This afternoon I uploaded v0.2.482 of wp-SwimTeam. This release introduces the new Jobs module (aka Volunteers). Please back up your database before upgrading as this version changes the structure of one of the tables and introduces two others.
Please let me know if you have any problems with this version. I’ve done a fair amount of testing and I have it up and running on the MacDolphins web site.
The jobs module introduces two new short codes:
- wpst_job_descriptions
- wpst_meet_job_assignments
Example usage of these two new short codes can be found on the wp-SwimTeam demo site here and here.
There is also a new release of the phpHtmlLib plugin which wp-SwimTeam requires available. This build addresses a minor issue exposed in WordPress 3.0 beta testing.
Hopefully the new Jobs module will be helpful for your team, I know it will be helpful for mine!
Quick turn-around on a release as there was a bug which was really bothering me. The Opt-In/Opt-Out report was pulling swimmer label from the active season regardless of which season a meet was created against. This was fine for the current season but messed up reports from any prior season.
The report now pulls swimmer labels from the season that the meet is created against so looking back a a report from last season or two seasons ago will still show correctly.
This afternoon I posted v0.1.455 of the wp-SwimTeam plugin. This release fixes a bug with Active vs Inactive swimmers. This bug manifested itself in incorrect generation of Roster Reports and CSV Exports. A couple other minor issues were also corrected.
This evening I posted a v0.1.442 of wp-SwimTeam on the download page. There isn’t a lot of new functionality which is visible yet but this released fixes a couple things I ran into getting ready for the MacDolphins 2010 season.
Updating a season now allows a prior year to be selected – the year range now shows 3 years prior and 7 years after the current year. Most of the success and error messages now use the WordPress styling where they appear near the top of the page in a colored box. There are probably a few I missed but most of them should work correctly.
This release also exposes the start of the results import although it doesn’t currently do anything other than load the file and do some basic parsing on it to make sure it is a valid SDIF results file. The data is not currently stored in the database.
This afternoon I posted an update to my Sandbox-LEGO theme. In the process of developing my CASL Soccer theme I had figured out how to do a couple things which I have wanted to incorporate into Sandbox-LEGO. It wasn’t a lot of work but I also decided to spend the time to re-write the Bourne Shell script which I use to generate CSS files for the various color schemes. Instead of duplicating a bunch of code I implemented it as a series of functions which are called with the various color settings. Fairly trivial looking back on it, not sure why I hadn’t done it in the first place. It should make adding a new color scheme much faster.
This afternoon I finally had a few minutes to fix a couple of issues and release my LEGO theme. This theme is currently in use on my LEGO web site. The theme free to download and use. There are still a couple minor nits with it which I need to fix and I want to add a couple more color schemes but I wanted to get it out. It supports four colors schemes – red, blue, green, and yellow. Enjoy.

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.
