Thanks for the kind words Willy and glad you are getting good use out of it.

I’ll see what I can do and post any updates here, some user testing would be really helpful.

Hi all. I’m the original plugin author and just randomly decided to drop in on this forum, it’s been many years!

I really hate to hear of you having to shell out $500 to get this developed. What exactly needs to be done on the plugin to get it back into shape? I haven’t worked on this in easily over 5 years but pleasantly surprised to hear people still use it and find it useful. I’ll see if I can find some time in the new year to bring the plugin back up to date so I will need to gather a list of priorities and just work through them.

Hi lads, I have a solution for this will be rolled out pretty soon.

It’s essentially an admin button that when clicked will iterate ALL results in the system and recalculate the age grade score.

Hi Jakob,

Everything is good thanks. I’ve not been on this in a long time due to work and marathon training commitments. I hope to get back involved with the plugin over the next few weeks as things have settled down. Thanks for the message and warm wishes.

I have a new version in the pipeline with some new features but just needs to be tested before general release.

Conor.

It should appear the first time you visit your manage results page upon upgrading the plugin to 1.1.7.

When you look at your own results, do you see the age grades have been calculated?

This is not really suitable, it’s an athletics plugin that records results by time. Of course it’s possible with some knowledge of coding and some time on your hands. You can remove the default categories and add your own. You would need to change the application so it reads in reps/pounds when adding results and then to sort the PBs by highest to lowest instead of lowest to highest (for time).

You can do this by finding the file includes/wp-athletics-settings.php in your plugin folder.

This is where the terrains are setup and you can modify as you wish. Be careful with updating the plugin in future as this will overwrite any changes you make to this file.

I’ll add a setting in a future release to allow users to modify this.

Hi there. Interesting problem, off the top of my head I can’t explain it without seeing your setup.

There was an issue in previous versions where the prefix for user tables wasn’t set correctly and this posed a problem if you were not using the default wordpress prefix. This has since been fixed, what version are you running?

I assume you’re developing locally since you can’t provide a URL. If so, can you tell me which wpa tables have been created in your local database.

Also could you inspect the ajax request and tell me what params are sent on the request to retrieve all athletes?

Hi Jakob. I can offer to log into your system to inspect what is going on. It’s hard to give you any clear instruction without first understanding the problem.

If you are comfortable with it, you could email me a temporary admin login I will take a look at your setup and try find a solution for this issue.

This is currently not a setting you can change via the dashboard but if you find the file
wp-athletics/wp-athletics-settings.php then you can change the setting display_date_format to suit your needs.

Thank you Alan, much appreciated.

Hi Doug. Thanks for the kind words and the positive review.

The age grading is actually done client side via javascript. To calculate all of your existing age grades, simple visit your “manage results” screen and it should display an alert telling you the age grades have been calculated.

If I get a chance I may rewrite the calculations so they are done on the server side but this was the quickest way to get age grades integrated into the site as I simple modified an existing script.

Hi Sander,

Thanks for the heads up I’ll investigate this. Yes, the query is in get_personal_bests() in wp-athletics-db.php

Use the shortcode generator tool, you don’t need to know the athlete ID.

Number of participants is not a supported field currently, we would need custom fields.

You don’t need to be a programmer to help me translate. Can you drop me an email and I’ll send you a file that you can translate.

Thanks.

This is possible now in version 1.1.7

Using the new shortcode generator tool you can create a shortcode that links to a specific users results.

e.g [wpa-simple-results user="x" split="year"] displays list of a athlete x’s results separated by year (where x is the athlete ID)
