Squadeno – Club Sports Manager

Description

Most sports clubs do not have a website problem. They have a maintenance problem: the training schedule lives in a PDF that is two seasons old, the summer break is still not on the calendar, and the person who knows when the hall is free is away for three weeks.

Squadeno turns that around. You maintain the training schedule once – Tuesday, 6 pm, gym hall, September to June – and every single date is generated from it. Closures and school holidays block the affected sessions automatically. A cancelled session, a moved date or an extra session is handled on the date itself, and the change shows up everywhere that sport appears.

Who it is for: clubs with more than a handful of offerings that want every sport to have its own findable page – and that want trainers to keep their own dates current without being handed the keys to the whole site.

What you get

• Sports with their own SEO-friendly page; optional subgroups/disciplines (e.g. athletics → kids/youth).
• Training times per sport – season- and weather-aware; location as a venue or free text.
• Automatic calendar: dates are generated from the training schedule, holidays/closures block automatically, exceptions (cancelled/rescheduled/extra date) and events are added on top.
• Trainers with their own profile page; any number per sport (main/assistant/substitute).
• Venues with address, GPS, photo and an automatic “what takes place here” list.
• Events via a simple builder (open/registration, costs, single- or multi-day).
• Roles: the editorial team maintains everything; trainers edit only their assigned sports and their own profile.
• SEO: clean URLs, internal linking and structured data (schema.org).
• Performance: computed dates are cached (transient) and refreshed automatically on changes.

The source language of the plugin is English; a complete German translation (de_DE) is bundled. Public URL slugs default to English and can be localized per site in the settings.

Putting it on the page

Shortcodes (blocks with the same output are also available):

• [csmgr_sports] – overview of all sports with filters (age group/section).
• [csmgr_calendar view="month"] – club-wide calendar (view="month" or view="week").
• [csmgr_upcoming sport="ID" limit="5"] – upcoming dates of a sport.

Privacy by default

Maps are optional and switched off by default: no map data is requested from any external server until an administrator selects the map provider “OpenStreetMap” in the settings. The Leaflet map library (BSD-2-Clause) is bundled with the plugin and served locally; it is not loaded from a CDN.

External services

This plugin relies on the following third-party services. It does not send any data unless the corresponding feature is used.

OpenStreetMap map tiles (optional, disabled by default) – Maps are off out of the box: the setting “Map provider” (Club Sports → Settings → Calendar & maps) defaults to “none”, and while it is set to “none” the plugin contacts no map server at all – neither on the public website nor in the WordPress admin area. Only after an administrator explicitly selects “OpenStreetMap” does the browser load map tiles directly from the OpenStreetMap tile servers (tile.openstreetmap.org) – on venue pages with coordinates and on the venue editor screen in wp-admin. This transmits the IP address and the requested map section to OpenStreetMap. As a fallback for visitors without JavaScript, an embedded map from openstreetmap.org may be displayed. No tracking, analytics or usage data is collected by the plugin or sent anywhere.

Nominatim geocoding (OpenStreetMap) (optional, disabled by default) – Part of the same opt-in: only when the map provider “OpenStreetMap” is enabled, and only when an editor clicks the “Determine coordinates from address” button in the venue editor, the address typed into the form is sent to the Nominatim service (nominatim.openstreetmap.org) to look up coordinates. It is never called on the public website, and it is not called at all while maps are disabled.

Cloudflare Turnstile (optional, disabled by default) – Only if an administrator enables Turnstile in the settings, the plugin loads the Turnstile widget script from Cloudflare (challenges.cloudflare.com) on pages that show a trainer contact form, and on submission sends the challenge token together with the visitor’s IP address to Cloudflare for bot verification. When Turnstile is disabled, no data is sent to Cloudflare.

Source code and build

The plugin ships with the complete, human-readable source of every generated file, plus the tooling needed to regenerate it. Nothing is obfuscated.

Editor blocks – build/<block>/index.js is generated and minified. The readable ES module source of each of these files is included in the plugin under blocks/<block>/index.js (same folder name, e.g. blocks/kalender/index.js → build/kalender/index.js).

Build tooling: @wordpress/scripts (webpack + Babel), declared in the bundled package.json / package-lock.json. To regenerate the files from the shipped sources, run inside the plugin folder:

npm ci
npm run build

which executes wp-scripts build --webpack-src-dir=blocks and writes build/.

PHP – All PHP is plain, unminified source under src/ (PSR-4, autoloaded via Composer; see the bundled composer.json / composer.lock). assets/js/*.js and assets/css/*.css are hand-written and unminified as well.
