Adding a New Sport to the Plugin

Hey Themeboy!

I’m wondering how I can add a custom sport to the plugin. I’m currently building a local 8 Ball Association’s web site and I can’t utilise any of the included sports within the plugin to suit 8 ball.

I have changed the sport type to Custom but I’m not 100% sure where you add the details of the sport.

Cheers

Stu 🙂

Hi Stu,

Thank you for your question!

Custom sports can be configured via the SportsPress > Settings > Configure tab. We’ll be releasing a guide soon, but here’s a quick overview:

Event Outcomes: the final outcome of an event (Win, Loss, Draw, etc)

Team Results: results that each team has at the end of an event (Goals, Points, Runs, etc)

Player Performance: used for measuring individual performance values for players (Field Goal Attempts, Shot On Goal, Fouls, etc)

Table Columns: columns displayed in league tables (GP, W, D, L, GD, PTS, etc)

Player Metrics: static/non-changing values that are assigned to each player (Height, Weight, Body Fat, Reach, College, etc)

Player Statistics: dynamic values that are calculated per player based on results, events attended/played/started/substituted, performance, and metrics (Average Goals per Match, Field Goal Percentage, Win Ratio, etc)

I hope this helps for now 🙂

Hey Themeboy,

Thanks for your prompt reply back. I read over your reply in depth and then went over what you said and I have now managed to create the tables for the Association and it is looking great so far!

I have one more hopefully straight forward question. So the guys play their season in rounds, much like the AFL (I’m a fellow Australian too :D), and I’m finding it a bit tricky setting them up, whereabouts would I setup each round? I have looked through the SportsPress settings much like for the table, but I have been unsuccessful in finding anyway on doing it.

Basically they would like to have all rounds displayed on their web site, past, present and future games.

I hope that makes sense and I look forward to hearing back from you 🙂

Hi Stu,

Good evening! Glad to hear that you’re getting a hang of using the plugin 🙂

Regarding rounds, the easiest way to add these would be to create child seasons. Basically, create a parent season (2014) and then select that season as the Parent when creating rounds (which would also be seasons).

It might also be a good idea to change the display text. You can do this by going to SportsPress > Settings > Text, scroll down to where it says “Season” and enter “Round”.

I hope this makes sense! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions 🙂
