with advanced features, specifically designed to import fixtures with scores and results data.<\/p>\n\n<h3>What This Plugin Does<\/h3>\n\n<p>This plugin enhances the standard SportsPress Fixtures (CSV) and Players (CSV) importers.<\/p>\n\n<p>For Fixtures it adds support for:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Score\/Results Import<\/strong>: Import match scores directly from CSV files<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automatic Results Processing<\/strong>: Automatically creates and updates match results using SportsPress's native results system<\/li>\n<li><strong>Auto creation of Calendar and League table<\/strong>: Teams are auto assigned to League Table.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Backward Compatibility<\/strong>: Works with existing SportsPress CSV formats while adding new capabilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>For Players it adds support for:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Player ID column (update by ID)<\/strong>: When a Player ID is provided, the matching player is updated; otherwise a new player is created. Without a Player ID it behaves like the native importer (using the Merge duplicates option).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Metric columns<\/strong>: All registered metrics (sp_metric) are available as columns, so metric values can be imported into players. Blank metric cells preserve existing values on updates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Key Features<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Score Support<\/strong>: Import home and away scores directly from CSV<\/li>\n<li><strong>Outcome calculation<\/strong>: Use native SportsPress functionality to calculate the outcome of an event.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Auto create League Table and Calendar<\/strong>: Gives the ability to the user to automacally create a new League Table or\/and a new Calendar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Teams assignment to League Table<\/strong>: Handles teams assignment to League Table to avoid false positives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Import Fixtures: CSV Format<\/h3>\n\n<p>The enhanced importer for Fixtures adds the following CSV columns:<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Home Score<\/strong> \u2013 Home team score (optional)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Away Score<\/strong> \u2013 Away team score (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h4>Example Fixtures CSV<\/h4>\n\n<pre><code>Date,Time,Venue,Home,Away,Home Score,Away Score,Match Day\n2024\/01\/15,19:30,Stadium A,Team Alpha,Team Beta,2,1,GW1\n2024\/01\/20,20:00,Stadium B,Team Gamma,Team Delta,0,3,GW2\n2024\/01\/25,18:45,Stadium A,Team Beta,Team Gamma,1,1,GW2\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3>Import Players: CSV Format<\/h3>\n\n<p>The enhanced importer for Players supports these additional columns:<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Player ID<\/strong> \u2013 If provided, updates the existing player by ID; if not, a new player is created.
