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.
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.
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.
This evening I posted a new build of wp-SwimTeam to the downloads page. This version fixes an unusual situation where the swimmer reports would fail to work when no optional swimmer fields we defined.
I also fixed another issue with optional fields (user and swimmer) where if the number of fields in use was set to 0 in the Options settings, the system would revert to the default (5) number of fields.
Over the past week or so I have also posted a couple updates without posting an announcement. Most of the improvements were in the reporting and SDIF generation. Reports for Swim Meets can now include multiple meets on the same report and the SDIF options page has a new option to allow overriding the first name with the nickname when exporting the roster in SDIF format.
