    Hi again!

    Couple of question on plugin concept:
    -How is League Tables supposed to be used? What is the difference between ‘League Tables’ and ‘Leagues’?

    Example: I have created a League called ‘Premier League’. When I create events I assign it to a League, ‘Premier Leauge’, and a Season, ‘2014’. Should I also create a League Table called ‘Premier League 2014’ to determine which teams that are included.

    -How is ‘Player Lists’ used?

    Thank you, again.

    Hi Jens,

    Thank you for your questions.

    Correct. You will need to create a League Table if you wish to display standings for that league. Then, you can view the league table directly (like a page or a post), or display it in a widget.

    The differences between a League and a League Table:

    League

    • Is a taxonomy, like a post category
    • Used for organizing teams, players, and events
    • Cannot be viewed directly

    League Table

    • Is a custom post type, like a post or a page
    • Select a League, Season, and Teams to display
    • Uses Table Columns
    • Can be viewed directly or in a League Table widget

    League Tables automatically use the results and outcomes collected from all events that the teams are involved in, narrowed down by league and season if applicable.

    You can edit the table columns via Settings > SportsPress > League Tables > Edit Columns.

    Player Lists are the equivalent of League Tables, but for Players instead of Teams. A player list displays players from any league and/or season and their statistics.

    I hope this helps! We’re currently working on some introductory documentation which will be released soon ??

    Hi, great plugin that I am slowly learning for a flag football league in China.

    How do I put the players list on the team’s page?

    Thanks!

    Hi there,

    You can grab the shortcode from the Player List (displayed in the “Shortcode” section on the edit screen) and paste it into the content of the Team.

    Hope this helps ??

    I just upgraded to the newest version and this works. Before I pasted it into the content box but then it just appeared as text in the post.

    Thank you for your attention to your plugin, it is wonderful.
