Page templates

Hi @jamesloving,

This post explains the basics of creating templates for SportsPress. Please feel free to let me know if you have any specific questions relating to this.

Regarding the Team pages, you can select Player Lists to display via the Edit Team page but the full list of players will only appear on the frontend. If you haven’t created any player lists yet, you can do so via Players > Player Lists > Add New.

I have tried creating players and plays lists, the players do not show up on the players list page.

@james Is the page online so that I could have a look? If it’s on your local machine, I’d like to see the output from SportsPress > System Status. (please use the “code” button below or wrap the code in backticks)

Ok I have a page template up now that is showing the featured image and the title, I still do not seem to be able to call any of the data points. I get array displayed. I do a bit of coding and have done page templates and I am sure i am missing something very simple. Below is the code for my single player and the environment.

Thank you again, I love the plugin!

*****************Single-player.php*****************

<?php get_header(); ?>

 <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $player = new SP_Player( $post );?>

			<div class="content fullpost">

						<div class="player-image">

			<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

						</div>
						</div>

					<div class="post-header">

						<h1>#<?php the_title(); ?></h1>

					</div>

					<div class="post-entry">

                <?php  

echo $player->current_teams();
                        ?>

							</div>

				<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

@james The current_teams() function returns all sp_current_team meta as an array:

/**
	 * Returns current teams
	 *
	 * @access public
	 * @return array
	 */
	public function current_teams() {
		return get_post_meta( $this->ID, 'sp_current_team', false );
	}

So you could assign the output to a variable and loop through it like this:

$current_teams = $player->current_teams();
if ( $current_teams ):
	$teams = array();
	foreach ( $current_teams as $team ):
		$teams[] = '<a href="' . get_post_permalink( $team ) . '">' . get_the_title( $team ) . '</a>';
	endforeach;
	$label = _n( 'Current Team', 'Current Teams', count( $teams ) );
	echo implode( ', ', $teams );
endif;

Hope this helps ??

Thank you, however i just get errors, I will just wait until you have a better way to do this to move forward.

I love the application, and the back end is very easy to use. I look forward to seeing future improvements.

We’re releasing our documentation very soon which will go into depth with this, and explains it a bit better than I have ??
