Close Matches

Hi,

There are two options:

1. Closed matches on the input form get a CSS class “closed”. You can use this to hide them (tr.match.closed { display:none; }).
2. The PHP code that displays the matches has a hook that allows you to change the data set of matches.

The first option is very simple, but it still outputs the closed matches to the user (only hidden). The second option only outputs the matches that are relevant, but requires some PHP knowledge to hook into the plugin’s code (the help page of my plugin has some examples on how to use hooks).

I was wrong, there is only one hook that can be used to filter the matches on that page, but unfortunately that will also filter the matches in other parts of the plugin. So this can’t be used.

In a couple of days I will release a minor update for the plugin and I will include an extra hook in that version that can be used.

I already made an extension plugin that you can use with this new version (download it here). You can safely activate this plugin on your install, but it will do nothing until you update to version 2.4.3. If you don’t want to wait for this new version, then make the following change to the plugin:

1. Open classes/class-football-pool-matches.php
2. Add the following line before line 489:
$matches = apply_filters( 'footballpool_predictionform_matches_filter', $matches );

Did you also activate the extra plugin?
