Sort By – Not Correct Values Referenced

    Sort by does not show accurate fields from what plug in has values…. One is “hometown” . We do not use that field and never populated it.

    Can it be sorted by the criteria we “Show” on the custom settings page?
    -Name
    -Number
    -Position
    -School
    -etc.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Again, which shortcode are you referring to? If you are referring to [mstw-tr-roster-2], it displays exactly the fields that are available in the shortcode’s display.

    In version 4.4, there is little flexibility in this shortcode (first release). That will change in version 4.5. If you don’t use that field, oh well, I guess this shortcode is not for you. (it was based on a college football roster, which is not for everyone). Stay tuned, it will get better in terms of flexibility.

    Hoping to edit the Name on “HomeTown” or have it reflect what is on the field in settings.

    Thanks for the updated page. I’m not quite sure what you mean here, but as I thought I had mentioned additional flexibility of the fields show in this display is coming in version 4.5.

    Looks as though there may be a character limit. I changed #32 to what was previously entered.

    Sorry about that. I’ll try to explain.

    Page:
    https://www.tplax.com/2022-tplax-varsity-roster/

    View Player #22 for example.
    2023 / Drexel / Ice Cream

    It is hard to decipher what we are trying to show. Could we “stack” the variables we want to show in a column, where it would also show the category + the data entered? Example:

    POSITION: DEFENSE
    GRAD YEAR: 2023
    COLLEGE: Drexel
    FAVORITE FOOD: Ice Cream

    Also, hope to use data from “Show/Hide” Labels from Team Rosters Plugin Settings: DataFields and Columns.

    Okay, I understand. I don’t plan to do that in this particular view. The bio/profile does this and it’s linked from this view. Again, I am (sort of) modeling a “college view” of a roster (https://goducks.com/sports/football/roster). I like the view, but I understand it is not the right view for everyone.

    Again, it will get a bit more flexible in version 4.5, and ‘show/hide data fields’ and ‘data field order’ are planned, but there won’t be headings on the data fields.
