Team Rosters

Team Rosters facilitates managing the rosters of multiple teams, multiple players in a wide variety of formats, starting from high-school, and up to college and the pro sports.

Even if created especially for US sports, it can easily be adapted to work with other team sports as well.

After adding teams and players in the backend, the roster can be published online via the [mstw-tr-roster] shortcode. Usage instructions and additional parameters are detailed in the plugin's README file.

For any listed player, a bio page can also be accessed by clicking his name in the roster.

Installation:

Unpack and upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.

Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.

What is new in this release:

• Access controls for MSTW Admin, MSTW Team Rosters Admin, and Team Admins.
• New data fields for the team taxonomy to integrate with MSTW Schedules & Scoreboards Teams database
• Completely re-wrote the settings screen - organized with tabs and added help screens
• Re-orgainized Edit Player screen
• Added field to link Team taxonomy to MSTW Schedules & Scoreboards Teams DB
• Corrected the display of height/weight in the single-player.php template
• Cleaned up WP internationalization/translation. Domain was changed from mstw-loc-domain to mstw-team-rosters.
• Changed Custom Post Type & Taxonomy names to reduce the possibility of name collisions with themes and other plugins. THIS HAS A MAJOR IMPACT ON UPGRADES FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS. READ HOW TO DO IT RIGHT HERE.
• Uses the single-player.php and taxonomy-team.php templates from the plugin's /theme-templates directory so the template no longer needs to be copied to the theme's (or child theme's) directory. But they can be moved to the main theme (or child theme) directory if desired. The plugin looks for them there first.
• The plugin's stylesheet (/css/mstw-tr-styles.css) no longer needs to be modified. One can create custom styles in the mstw-tr-custom-styles.css sytlesheet in the theme's (or child theme's) main directory. It will be loaded AFTER the plugin's stylesheet in the plugin's /css directory, so mstw-tr-custom-styles.css will have the highest priory in the plugin's style cascade.
• Added a setting to control the addition of links to single player profile pages from the player names in roster tables
• Integrated mstw_utility_functions - removed old mstw-admin-utils.php
• Added if ( !function_exists( 'function_name' ) ) wrappers to all include files
• The problem with filtering the All Players admin screen by Team MAY BE corrected. This bug only appeared on a few installations, so it's difficult to test. If it rears its ugly head on your site, the first thing to try is to deactivate all other plugins, including any other MSTW plugins, and re-activate them one by one. Please let me know, and I'll work with you to fix it.

What is new in version 3.1:

• Fixed bug with sort order. Roster table and player gallery views both sort properly by number, first name, and last name.
• Fixed bug with show_height settings.
• Fixed minor bug: gallery sometimes linked to players/player-slug/?format='' instead of players/player-slug/?format=custom. This bug may or may not have an affect on a site, depending on formats and usage.
• Fixed the "Filter by Team" dropdown on the Show All Players admin screen.
• Re-enabled the bulk delete menu on the All Players screen.
• Enabled the "Other" field. It may now be used on all 'custom' displays but it is disabled by default.
• Improved responsiveness of single player profile page (single-player.php). Looks better on small screens.
• Combined single-player.php and content-single-player.php templates (into the single-player.php template.

What is new in version 3.0.1:

• Tweaked two calls (one in mstw-team-rosters.php and one in includes/mstw-team-rosters-admin.php) to prevent WARNINGS. (Easily fixed by setting WP_DEBUG to false in wp-config.php.)
• Restructured the include files (filenames and function calls) to prevent conflicts with other MSTW plugins.

What is new in version 2.1:

• Re-factored the featured image (thumbnail) activation code to avoid conflicts with another plugin.
• In the process, modified the theme settings so that the player photo width and height settings would always be honored. The default remains 150x150px regardless of how the thumbnail sizes are set in the theme.
• Corrected another conflict with some themes due to my horrible choice of the function name - my_get_posts(). Shame on me ... it's now mstw_tr_get_posts().

What is new in version 2.0:

• Added admin setting to hide player weights
• Added the ability to set the player photo size on the plugin settings page.
• Added three new formats for baseball: baseball-high-school, baseball-college, baseball-pro
• Cleaned up misc error checking and file/function includes to prevent conflicts with other plugins.
