    Hi there, I’m not sure if I’m doing anything wrong but is the Game Schedule widget not meant to show the time of the games?

    I want to display the next few fixtures and although it has the Date and Opponent column, it does not have the Time one.

    I’ve checked all settings but can’t see how to do this – is there a way?

    Many thanks

    By the way, a fantastic plugin!

    Hi cphoenix,
    You are correct that the Game Schedules widget has only the data and opponent fields. It was built for display in a narrow sidebar.

    In your case, you can simply add the schedule table shortcode to a text widget and have the full functionality.

    Hi Mark, thanks for the quick reply!

    Everything makes sense except I’ve tried putting the table shortcode [mstw_gs_table sched=Unique-Schedule-ID] into a text widget but it just shows the code as it is (the Unique Schedule ID being what my schedule is).

    Am I doing something wrong here?

    Thanks

    No. Many themes do not support shortcodes in widgets by default. A simple one-line addition to your theme’s funcitions.php file (or child theme’s; you should really be using a child theme when you start changing the functions.php) should fix this problem.

    add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

    Let me know how it goes.

    Brilliant. I’ve added that code into the functions.php file (through the child theme) and it works a treat – the Text widget displays the table as you said.

    Thanks again for all your help Mark.

    Cheers

    Actually, sorry Mark, just realised it shows the whole table, so even the old games – how can you only show future games?

    Easy. Take a look at the shortcode documentation and the examples on the MSTW Development Site.
