 * Hi,
 * This plugin is the closest I have found to suit the needs of my bowling league
   website. I can see why users are very pleased with it.
 * I am looking to add the following columns/customization for my bowling league
   in:
 * > MSTW Teams –> Add new Team (I had deselected ‘slug’ and ‘MSTW SS Linked Team’
   > from _Screen Options_):
   > Current View – Team Name Players
   >  New View – Team Name Team Number Team Members
   > Season
   > I could not find where to add ‘Team Number’ and ‘Season’ field/columns in your
   > code (both in the Add New Team area and the table contents on the right side).
   > Our league assigns a team number as well as a team name. I also could not find
   > to customize ‘Players’ column header to ‘Team Members’ for the count of players
   > added to the specific team. Additionally, I would like to be able to sort by‘
   > Team Number’.
 * > Players (I had deselected ‘First Name’, ‘Last Name’, ‘Year’, and ‘Exp’ from
   > _Screen Options_):
   > Current View/New View:
   >  Name Nbr Pos Ht Wt Team(s) Member Name Team Number 
   > Team Position Handicap Average Team(s)
   > In the new view above, I wanted to move the ‘Team(s)’ column to this:
   > Member Name Teams(s) Team Number Team Position Handicap Average
   > Currently, the last 4 columns are sortable and would like to make them sortable.
 * In this part I think may be complicated, but is it possible to sort any of the
   above across 2 or more fields instead of one?
 * Can you assist me in accomplishing some or all of this? I would deeply APPRECIATE
   your help (via monetary if necessary)!!

 * So the format did not pan out as I thought it would for the views above:
 * > Current View..Team Name_______________Players_____________
   >  New View……Team 
   > Name__Team Number__Team Members__Season
 * > Current View/New View:
   >  Name_________Nbr__________Pos____________Ht________Wt_______Team(
   > s) Member Name__Team Number__Team Position__Handicap__Average__Team(s)

 * Hi David,
    Thanks for posting. I’m not sure I completely understand everything,
   but here’s a first shot. If I misunderstand, it might help me if you could post
   some screenshots. (The best way to do so in the forms is to post them on a public
   server and add a link to your post.)
 * Regarding the new columns/fields for Team Number and Season: “Teams” is a custom
   taxonomy in this plugin. Significant code changes are required to add these fields.
   I’d rather not post how the techie/coding details on this forum because (a) it
   would take too much space, and (b) special changes are NOT recommended. The reason
   for (b) is that you will not be able to take advantage of plugin updates (without
   re-coding the customizations). If you would like to discuss this further, please
   e-mail me (mark@shoalsummitsolutions.com).
 * Regarding the Column/Data Field labels, you can go into the Settings admin screen
   and relabel (repurpose) some extra fields to be Member Name, Team Number, Team
   Position, Handicap, Average, Team(s). I know those labels will show up on the
   front end, and I believe they will also show up on the back end in the latest
   version (easy to check, but I don’t have access to my server at the moment).
 * I don’t know what you mean by “sorting across 2 fields”, but what you can do 
   is filter by a team, then sort that result by the various fields. It is straightforward
   to add sorting on more fields, but again code changes are required.
 * Hope that helps some.
 * -Mark
