Add Age in player list

@maarty

For me, I added them under the player metrics – you can create your own Variable name :
https://nghapoe.ca/players/avery-norman/

Yes, I understand that, but what is the value of the variable for age?

variable for Matches played is “eventsplayed”
and
variable for age is what? “age” does not work

@maarty

I don’t understand what you mean.
You just create your own :
https://cafczidenice2011.cz/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=sp_metric

yes, I thought the value would be displayed automatically. by the player’s date of birth.

I can do it manually

@maarty

Oh! You mean you want a generated value for the age based on a birth year metric ?
I’ll wait for @roch or @savvas to comment if it is configurable within the SportsPress GUI.

Otherwise, you can write a php function in your template.

Yes, that’s exactly what I want. we’ll see.

thanks for the help ??

Hi!

That’s a great idea, but we don’t have this at the moment. This would require some PHp code indeed.

Thanks!

Hi!

Just a quick update on this one. I’ve been playing around with it, and the easiest approach I could find was to create a player metric and populate it with the player’s birthdate.

Then you can use PHP or even JS code to convert that one to age.

Thanks!

Hi there to all,

Almost 2 years ago I created a branch to achieve exactly that!
https://github.com/ThemeBoy/SportsPress/tree/feature-dob-age-player-lists
Can you try to CAREFULLY merge the changes and see if it is what you want?

Thanks,
Savvas

Thanks for helping @savvasha
I’m sorry, but I’m a beginner

I downloaded the plugin
Installed plugin
and now I did: Sport Press | Configure | Player Metrics | Add New

What should I write in the Variable field? https://ibb.co/1X8yGG9

Hi @savvasha

Oh, I should have seen this one before diving to much into the code.

As far as I can see, only this file is changed:
https://github.com/ThemeBoy/SportsPress/commit/8d037f8a87b74f4cdadfd8cc86abb305c03adb52

Is that right?

Thanks!

You need to check the three commits made on 28th of November https://github.com/ThemeBoy/SportsPress/commits/feature-dob-age-player-lists

Thanks,
Savvas

Take care though, the commits and changes were made to a very very old version of SportsPress!

Hey @maarty

I have just tested Savvas’ code and it works like magic.

If you want I can give you instructions on how to implement it in the current SP version.

Thanks!
