1) The “startpage” option controls whether to show the data directly in the main table or whether to produce a link to a single dataset. The “profile” option had been indeed unused, but as of version 3.4.6 again controls whether to show formfields in the profile page. Thus, it can be controlled what fields the users can edit through their profile when the settiing “hook into profile” is activated.

2) I changed the category system in the latest releases. Each project has its own category management system, which can be used to put the datasets into different groups, e.g. if you use ProjectManager to setup team roster for LeagueManager you should create a category for each team to manage team roster of multiple teams

3) The amount of data shown in the table output is controlled through the startpage option of each formfield. Thus, only data of fields with the option acivated is shown. You can also create custom templates and put them into your theme folder in a subfolder called “projectmanager”. In this way you don’t need to worry about loosing custom templates when you update the plugin. I did my best to simplify the amount of programming knowledge required to create custom templates using a tag system similar to that for wordpress themes. I also included a documentation on this in the plugin, which is available as a subpage of the main projects menu.

Yes, LeagueManager and ProjectManager are developed independently. In order to setup team roster in LeagueManager you can currently choose the project and category of the respective project containing the roster data in the team editing page of LeagueManager. The option is automatically shown when ProjectManager is activated. This feature is still quite experimental and only rudimentary in terms of frontend display of team roster, but had been extended a bit in the latest versions of both plugins.

In addition, I have recently added another connection to produce fancy slideshows from datasets in ProjectManager or latest/next matches in LeagueManager throught the Fancy Slideshows Plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/sponsors-slideshow-widget/).

I appreciate your offers. For now I have added Defkon1 as committer.

One thing I insist on, however: I don’t want player management directly included into the plugin.

This is not just to promote my ProjectManager plugin, but mainly because ProjectManager has been developed specifically to present athlete portraits and has grown quite big with a lot of features. Including player management into LegaueManager would only recapitulate a lot of features in ProjectManager.

Thus, it is much easier to simply connect a project to a league. I have some ideas to make this connection easier. Any ideas in this direction are welcome

use the option “match_day=X” instead of day

please post a link to the theme, as I could not find it.

and a link to your site

could you post a link to your site?

I did some more work in this direction in the latest release. Dataset insertion works well from the frontend. You can allow any user to add datasets (without registration), but then editing will not be possible by them. This could be used for example as testimonial system.

If you want registered subscribers to add datasets there are some steps you have to follow.

You can allow simple subscribers to insert one single dataset by putting the form shortcode into a page and set the visibility to private. This will only show the page to looged in users. Any user with capability ‘projectmanager_user’ (by default assigned to subscribers) can insert one dataset per project. In order to allow dataset editing by your subscribers you need to activate the option to hook the project into the profile. Then users can edit their dataset through their profile page.

If you want users to add and edit more than one dataset they will need at least the following capabilities

* view_projects to browse the list of datasets in the admin panel
* edit_datasets in order to add a dataset from the admin panel and edit their own dataset
* add_multiple_datasets to allow users add more than one dataset
* edit_other_datasets to allow users edit datasets others created

I hope this was somewhat clear.
