Customize Prediction Form and Results pages

  • I’m trying to configure the plugin to run a Premier League predictor, and there are a couple of changes I need to make for this to work effectively. By default, there’s no way for the user to see their prediction, the final result, and the points they scored on a single page (unless I’ve missed that?). Can you tell me how I can add either:

    The match result to the prediction form, or better still;
    The user prediction and points scored to my results page – I’m using the [matches] shortcode to create a results page.

    Second thing I would like to do is to add a drop-down box to the results page so the user can browse previous results either by week or month – depending on how I finally set up the custom rankings. The kind of drop-down which automatically shows on the ranking pages when using custom rankings (to create a monthly competition).

    Thanks for your help,
    Paul.

    The [fp-matches] shortcode uses the print_matches() function in the Football_Pool_Matches class. This function contains hooks that you can use to extend the table and the data that must be displayed. To include the predictions, you can do a lookup in the predictions table. To show the score a user scored, you can do a lookup in the scorehistory table or use the calc_score() function in the Football_Pool_Pool class.

    For the available rankings use the get_rankings( ‘user defined’ ) function in the Football_Pool_Pool class.

    I don’t know php but I’ll have a look thanks.

    What about a drop-down list for previous results?

    Adding more data to the results page breaks the css on mobile. Is there not simple way to show what the user predicted, and what they scored on the same page? Every predictor you’ll see has this information shown.

    I agree that it should be relatively easy to combine this data on one page. But there are a lot of things on my to-do list, so don’t expect it in a release of this plugin in the near future.

    OK, I’ll speak with my key users and see what they think. The plugin is much better than the competition but lacks one or two very common features players would expect. Thanks.
