No functional changes. #### 3.1.3 * Fix: post-import row counts in the Import tab reported the wrong saison’s count.` import_league()` called `get_counts($liga_code)` without passing the saison, so importing an archive entry would store the right rows in the DB but display the count from the current saison — making two leagues with the same liga_code look identical even though the underlying data was different. Now the count is scoped to the saison that was just imported. * Migration robustness: replaced `SHOW INDEX … WHERE` with a fetch-all-then-filter- in-PHP approach so the saison-in-unique-key migration runs reliably on all MySQL/ MariaDB versions; table and key names are now backtick-quoted. #### 3.1.2 * Leagues form: when duplicate slugs or duplicate (liga_code, saison) pairs are submitted, **nothing is saved** and the form re-renders with the user’s unsaved input intact plus a red error notice listing the row numbers and what to fix. Previously the duplicate row was silently skipped, which lost the user’s typing. #### 3.1.1 * Two league entries can now coexist with the same Liga Code but different Saison values — useful for displaying current + archive data side by side. The `saison` column is part of the unique key on both DB tables; DB schema bumped to 1.5 ( the key is migrated automatically on upgrade) * Validation on the Leagues form: duplicate slugs or duplicate (liga_code, saison) pairs are now skipped on save and surfaced in an admin notice — previously the second entry silently overwrote the first * Import buttons, count cells, and raw-data viewer in the admin Import tab key off the league slug instead of the liga_code so multi-saison setups address the right league entry * Import tab now shows the per-league Saison column and counts are scoped to that saison #### 3.1.0 * New BSO-style standings layout (default): `Rank | Team | Record (W-L (Quotient)) | TD (TD+:TD-) | Home/Away`, matching the official footballverband.de output * Legacy `P+ / P- / TD+ / TD-` layout remains available via `format="points"` on the shortcode or per league config (for archive seasons that still use the old points system) * New per-league **Saison** field — when set, gets appended to the table heading and passed to the XML API as the `Saison` parameter so archive seasons can be imported * Shortcode attributes `format` and `saison` for ad-hoc overrides * Importer now captures `Gameswin`, `Gamesloose`, `Gamestied`, `Quotient`, Home/ Away splits and overtime scores (`OTHeim` / `OTGast`) — DB schema bumped to 1.4 * **Important after upgrade:** run a fresh import (Gridirontables AFVD Import) to populate the new columns; until you do, standings fall back to the legacy ` points` layout #### 3.0.2 * Corrected the `Contributors` field in `readme.txt` to the WordPress.org account that owns the plugin (`dsfooboo`) * Removed the deprecated `[dsfooboo_football_data_*]`, `[footballdata_*]` and `[ afvdata_*]` shortcode aliases to satisfy the WordPress.org Plugin Check prefix requirement — only `[gridirontables_afvd_*]` is registered now (existing pages using the old tags must be updated) #### 3.0.1 * Trim short description to fit the 150-character readme limit * Suppress remaining `WordPress.DB.PreparedSQL.InterpolatedNotPrepared` warnings on the legacy-table RENAME / DROP queries (table names cannot be passed as prepared placeholders) * Scope `uninstall.php` cleanup loop in a closure so its variables are no longer flagged as unprefixed globals #### 3.0.0 * Renamed plugin to “Gridirontables AFVD” (third rename) to match the WordPress. org plugin slug `gridirontables-afvd` * Text domain changed to `gridirontables-afvd` (hyphenated, as required by WordPress. org) * New shortcodes `[gridirontables_afvd_standings]` and `[gridirontables_afvd_schedule]`; previous `[dsfooboo_football_data_*]`, `[footballdata_*]` and `[afvdata_*]` shortcodes still work as aliases * All internal prefixes (classes, options, CSS, AJAX hooks, cron hook) renamed to `gridirontables_afvd_*` * Migration on activation/load handles tables and options from all three prior prefixes (`dsfooboo_football_data_*`, `footballdata_*`, `afvdata_*`) * DB schema bumped to 1.3 #### 2.5.2 * Updated tagline to “League tables & schedules – data provided by AFVD” #### 2.5.1 * GitHub repository renamed from `footballdata` to `dsfooboo-football-data`; Plugin URI and documentation links updated accordingly #### 2.5.0 * Renamed plugin to “DSFOOBOO Football Data” * New shortcodes `[dsfooboo_football_data_standings]` and `[dsfooboo_football_data_schedule]`; previous `[footballdata_*]` and `[afvdata_*]` shortcodes still work as aliases * All internal prefixes (classes, options, CSS, AJAX hooks, text domain, cron hook) renamed to `dsfooboo_football_data_*` * Migration on activation/load handles tables and options from both prior prefixes(` footballdata_*` and `afvdata_*`) * DB schema bumped to 1.2 #### 2.4.1 * GitHub repository renamed from `afvdata` to `footballdata`; Plugin URI and documentation links updated accordingly #### 2.4.0 * Renamed plugin from “AFVData” to “FootballData” * New shortcodes `[footballdata_standings]` and `[footballdata_schedule]`; old `[ afvdata_*]` shortcodes still work as aliases * All internal prefixes renamed from `afvdata` to `footballdata` * Automatic one-time migration on activation: renames database tables and copies options from the old prefix * DB schema bumped to 1.1 #### 2.3.0 * Complete rename of all internal prefixes to afvdata * Shortcodes are now `[afvdata_standings]` and `[afvdata_schedule]` * Text domain changed to `afvdata` * Updated all CSS classes, option names, and hook names * Added Info tab with disclaimer and contact information * Added plugin logo #### 2.1.0 * Fixed schedule showing only own team’s games * Per-league team name configuration * Configurable table colors with theme palette * Top-level admin menu * Raw data viewer on import tab * Auto-detect groups from imported data * German date format for schedule #### 2.0.0 * Initial release ## Meta * Version **3.1.4** * Last updated **1 mis ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 5.9 or higher ** * Tested up to **6.9.4** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/gridirontables-afvd/) * Tags * [Germany](https://cor.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/germany/)[schedule](https://cor.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/schedule/) [sports](https://cor.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/sports/)[standings](https://cor.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/standings/) * [Advanced View](https://cor.wordpress.org/plugins/gridirontables-afvd/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
