Renaming Tabs

    I see that in 2.1.1 there is a new feature:

    “Add text options to change template tab names.”

    However, I can’t see any documentation on how to do this?

    The league my team plays in uses another platform, FixturesLive, to manage games. Since the box scores can be embedded in my site from their platform, I store their embedded code in Excerpt. This works great, but obviously, I’d prefer to have the tab say “Box Score” or “Game Sheet” rather than “Excerpt”.

    Any help would be appreciated. Fairly new to WordPress, but a confident developer from other avenues. So, happy if the solution to this is code based.

    Graham.

    Hi Graham!

    These changes are in the fronend of your site, is that what you mean?

    By your description it looks like you want to change that in the wp-admin section, is that correct?

    If not, please klindly send us an example of an event so we can see this.

    Thanks!

    Kind Regards,

    Hi Roch,

    Not looking to make changes in wp-admin. From reading the feature description in the release notes, I interpreted it as tabs within the SportsPress template could be renamed.

    As an example, I have an event at http://www.bristolpitbulls.co.uk/event/bristol-pitbulls-v-slough-jets.

    Under the Excerpt tab, I have a gamesheet that is pulled in from an external website used by our league (fixtureslive.com) rather than from our own website. To do this, I have the code snippet inserted into the Excerpt field on the event.

    What I would like in order of preference (lowest to highest):

    1. Rename Excerpt to Game Sheet on every page, not just events. While this isn’t ideal, I don’t use Excerpts anywhere else, so if it had to be a global change, then it would work for me.

    2. Rename Excerpt to Game Sheet on just the event page. That way, if I decided to use Excerpts elsewhere in the future, it wouldn’t be a problem.

    3. The Holy Grail! Be able to add a new custom tab that works similar to, for example, the Video tab. In other words, be able to add a new field on to the “Edit Event” page and have whatever I put in that field appear in its own tab. I suspect that I could create code that would allow me to display extra tabs, but I don’t believe that I can create code that would allow me to change the “edit” page so that I could add new custom values to an event (which is why I currently override the Excerpt field).

    Thanks!
    Graham.

    @flyfifer,

    I don’t work for SP but have needed to do similar – change Offence to Attack; Ground to Venue, Recap to Report etc etc, so for option 1,

    Go to Sportspress | Settings and under the Text tab change the word against “Excerpt” from “Excerpt” to “Game Sheet”.

    Not sure about options 2 or 3.

    Thanks, Andy. While I’d still like to see a way of doing option 3, this is a perfect workaround for us just now.

    Thanks again,
    Graham.
