Squadeno – Club Sports Manager

Rejestr zmian

1.14.0

• New: the contact area on sport pages is yours to choose. Not every club wants a contact form. Under Settings → Contact you now pick one of four: the contact form as before, no contact area at all, your note on its own, or your note beside one person.
• „Note + contact person” shows that person with their photo, name and email address – the same person on every sport page, chosen once in the settings. Photo and address stay with the person.
• The form remains the default, so an existing site looks exactly as it did after the update.
• Person pages are unaffected: each person still decides for themselves whether their page offers a form.

1.13.0

• New: training times that are not weekly. A training time can now repeat every two, three or four weeks, or fall on a set weekday of the month – the second Saturday, the last Friday. Weekly stays the default, and nothing changes for the training times you already have.
• New: training times that end. A course can run until a date, or for a set number of sessions – ten and then no more. After that the calendar is quiet.
• A closure does not use up one of those sessions: if the hall is shut over the holidays, the course runs a week longer. A session you cancel yourself does count – it was on the calendar. Add an extra date to make it up.
• „Starts on” is the day a training time first takes place. For „every … weeks” it also decides which weeks count, and nothing is generated before it.
• A training time whose end has passed drops out of the table on the sport’s page. The entry itself stays, so you can run the course again next term.
• Two patterns on the same weekday („first and third Saturday”) are two rows.
• The rhythm and the period appear on the sport’s page next to the day, and the calendar, the upcoming dates and the calendar subscription all follow them.
• Events are unchanged: a series of events is still a series of entries. That is a separate matter, and it is being looked at.

1.12.0

• New: competitive play – optional and off by default. Switch it on and teams become subgroups of a sport, each with a squad, a league field with a link to the association’s table, and fixtures on a date with an opponent and home or away. Player profiles stay internal per team unless you publish them. There is no field for a result and no table of your own: the association’s table is the one that counts, and a match report belongs in a post.
• New: positions as base data you can sort – goalkeeper before defence, not alphabetically. They apply to the whole club and order every squad.
• New: a setup assistant that asks what your club needs and creates it. It takes three paths: dates and training times only, competitive play with one sport (your age groups become the sports), or competitive play with several sports. It only ever creates what you typed, and it disappears once your club is set up.
• New: call your sports what your club calls them. A football club enters „Team”, a gymnastics club „Squad”, a dance school „Course” – the menu, the list and every button follow. Your web addresses stay as they are.
• New: age groups now come with a starter set (children, youth, adults, seniors), sorted from young to old rather than alphabetically. Rename or remove what does not fit. Existing sites keep the age groups they have.
• The people page now shows „Plays in these teams” for anyone linked from a squad – as long as that team publishes its profiles.
• Squad rows can be reordered by dragging them, and choosing a person record is enough: you no longer have to type the name as well.
• After fourteen days of real use, the plugin asks once whether you would leave a review. Click it away and it stays away.
• Fixed: a trainer on the lowest permission level („dates only”) can no longer change the section and age group of a sport, set a password on it, take over its authorship or open its comments through Quick Edit. The restrictions were tied to the editor form and the block editor, and Quick Edit goes a third way. Hiding the „Quick Edit” link was never the protection. Reported by Doston Abdullayev.
• Nothing changes for an existing site unless you switch competitive play on.

1.11.0

• New user role „Squadeno: Club management”. It stands above the club administration package: the same club data, plus the pages and posts, the design of the theme and the settings of this plugin. Assign it under Users like any other role. It cannot install or activate plugins and themes, cannot open the WordPress settings, and cannot create user accounts or hand out roles – each of those would be a way to take the site over.
• The plugin’s settings page no longer asks for the WordPress capability „manage_options” but for one of its own. That capability is what the new role carries; administrators keep access exactly as before. This also means the settings page can be opened without opening every other setting of the site along with it.
• The club administration may now maintain events as well. Until now events were in the „Dates” package only, so the package that says „club administration” could not put the summer party on the calendar. „Dates” stays as the small package for someone who maintains nothing but dates.
• New permission package „Pages and posts”: the WordPress editor role, ticked like the others on the person record. Overview pages are ordinary WordPress pages, so somebody has to be allowed to edit them. Club administration plus this package covers the club and the pages that show it, but still no plugins, themes, users or settings.
• Please note: a person without an office no longer appears in the people list on its own. An office is what makes someone public, and a record without one is usually an internal one – for instance an account that only exists so that someone can be given permissions. Tick „Include people without an office” in the block (or without_office="true") to get the old behaviour back.
• New block „Events” and shortcode [csmgr_events]: the events of the club on a page of their own, outside the calendar. Upcoming events by default, a look back at past ones if you want, as cards or as a list.
• An event that is still running stays on the page until its last day. A holiday club from Monday to Friday used to disappear on Tuesday from any list that went by the starting date.
• The Events block can be narrowed down: one event type, one age group, or the events of a single sport – including the sport whose page the block sits on. What you fix in the block, visitors cannot change.
• Visitors can filter the list by event type and age group without JavaScript, and the filtered view has an address of its own that can be bookmarked and shared.
• The age group works the way it does in the calendar: the one on the event counts more than the one on its sport, and an event without one of its own keeps the one from its sport.
• New block „Venues” and shortcode [csmgr_venues]: the venues of the club with their addresses, as cards or as a list.
• Both blocks fit the overview pages: pick your own page under Settings → Overview pages, put the matching block on it, and the plain archive redirects there.

1.10.2

• Fixed: the calendar’s age group filter now finds events. A holiday club with the age groups „children” and „youth” disappeared from the calendar as soon as the filter was set to exactly those age groups, because the filter only looked at the age group of the sport, and club-wide events were left out whenever a filter was set.
• The age group on an event now counts more than the one on its sport: a children’s event at an adults’ sport shows up under „children”, and the parents’ evening at the children’s gymnastics does not. An event without an age group of its own keeps the one from its sport.
• Fixed: an event without times now shows up in the calendar as an all-day date. A holiday club that runs from Monday to Friday has no times, and until now such an event was missing from every calendar view. The week view, the training schedule and „Upcoming dates” label it „All day”, the month grid shows the name without a time, and the calendar export makes it a date entry.

1.10.1

• In the People block, the photo leads to the person’s page as well. Visitors click the picture, not the name below it.
• The editor shows the blocks the way the page does. Until now the plugin’s stylesheet was missing in the editor, so a block of people stood there as a plain list and the settings for layout and columns had no visible effect.
• The People list now carries the plugin’s spacing and colours on any page. On a page that holds nothing else from the plugin, the cards came without spacing, surface or frame.
• The People block explains its settings: „Columns” sets how wide a card is, not how many are shown, and „Layout” says what cards and list look like.

1.10.0

• New setting „Overview pages”: pick the page that visitors should see as the overview of sports, people, events or venues. The plugin’s own archive then redirects there, and links to the archive point to your page, so there is one overview instead of two. Leave it empty to keep the built-in archive.
• The URL base for people is „people” now. Sites that update keep their existing base, so no link breaks.
• The update fills in the offices: every existing person record gets the office „Trainer”, because until now every record of this type was one.
• A starter set of offices comes with the plugin: trainer, executive board with chair, deputy chair and treasurer, extended board with secretary and board member. Rename or remove what does not fit.
• One record per person: the entry type is called People now, and it carries trainers, board members and anyone else with a role in the club.
• New base data: functions. The offices of the club, with committees as parent entries and a sort order, because alphabetically the treasurer comes before the chair.
• New block „People” and shortcode [csmgr_people]: shows the board or any other group, as cards or as a list, grouped by committee if you want.
• Permissions are assigned per person now: own profile, trainer, club administration, dates, and public relations.
• Permission changes now also reach sites that update the plugin, not only fresh installations.
• Closures and seasons come with their own permissions instead of borrowing those for blog posts.
• Trainers can assign sections and age groups to the sports they maintain.
• Editors no longer maintain closures, seasons, sections, age groups and event types. Administrators do, and site owners who need help there can grant the capabilities with a role plugin.
• Fixed: everyone with the right permission can add content again. Bundling the club data under one menu had blocked „Add new” for sports, people, events, venues, closures and seasons for everyone except administrators.
• Fixed: the seasons open from the base data tabs again instead of showing an error page.
• Fixed: trainers with the „cancel dates” level can no longer change the sections and age groups of a sport. The restriction only applied to the classic form, not to the editor’s own save path.
• Fixed: adding content follows the task packages. Until now every package could publish sports and people it was not allowed to edit or remove afterwards. Adding people, sports, venues and seasons belongs to club administration, events and closures to the dates package.
• People without an office get their own heading in the People block instead of appearing under the last committee.
• The roles this plugin adds carry its name now: „Squadeno: Trainer” instead of „Trainer”. In the user list they sat next to „Editor” with nothing saying where they came from.
• The default seasons are created in the language of the site. Seasons that already exist keep their names.
• The week view of the calendar is a list now, one day per row with its date, and today is highlighted. As a grid it only scrolled sideways on narrow screens.
• A note on a training time appears under the name of the sport, not next to the venue, where it read like a detail of the venue.
• The person page shows the offices directly under the name, each with its committee, and an office comes before the trainer role.
• „Roles & permissions” now also explains how permissions are assigned, in four steps with a diagram.

1.9.0

• New calendar view view="list": the training schedule of the week, grouped by weekday.
• Sub-categories in the calendar now name their main category, for example Gymnastics > Kids gymnastics.
• Settings: pick which calendar views the site offers (month, week, list).
• Cancelled dates in the training schedule are struck through instead of carrying a label.
• Admin area: closures, seasons, sections, age groups and event types moved into one menu entry „Base data” with tabs.
• The plugin directory page now offers a live preview: try the plugin with demo data, right in the browser.

1.8.1

• Clearer wording on the plugin directory page, with a link to the project page.
• German translation of the directory page, in both the informal and the formal address.
• No changes to the plugin itself.

1.8.0

• First public release in the WordPress plugin directory.
