Week 12

This week I replicated the schedule & roster pages for each of the sports. This was not very difficult just time consuming because I had to repeat each page/process 16 times. I also built the records page for each sport, the news page for each sports and then the facilities page. I used the same plugins for the records and Facilities pages as I did for the other pages. The news page I just altered the category page that was built in to the theme to fit my needs.

Week 11

This week I built the Athlete, Roster, Schedule pages for my website. I did this by using a couple of different components. There were two wordpress plugins that I used for this first is called "Advanced Custom Fields Pro" and the second is called Custom Post Type UI. The way that I did this is I first created "Custom Post Type" using that plugin. For example I created a "Wrestling Roster" post type. This created the post type that you can easily use on the back end of word press. Then I used "Advanced Custom Fields Pro" to edit that specific post type to only accept the content that I want for that specific post type. For Example this the wrestling roster post type I creates the fields Event, Date, Time, Location and Result. Lastly I used php to code each of the pages I needed to place the post in the correct format for the respective page.

Week 10

This week I got my post slider that will be on my front pages working. This ended up being a little more tricky that I was expecting. To do this I used a couple of different pieces first was a plugin called custom post types. This allows my posts to be able to be read in different areas of the website rather than the standard spots more post go. The second part I uses a combination of bootstrap carousel function and php to build and get the post on the slider. I also embedded a twitter timeline into front page.

Also this week I edited my header so there I a different header image for each sports pages.

Week 9

This week I fixed a bug I had with my navigation. I was having an issue with my top menu drop down going behind the second navigation (see picture 1). I was able to fix this issue in the css by changing the z-index from 100 to 1000. It now is working properly (see picture 2)

Week 8

Last week I completed my first sprint. I was able to set up both my main navigation and my secondary navigation. I also set up my child theme as well as page templates for certain pages.

My goals for sprint to is to complete each page template and starting adding my custom post types. After this sprint I should be ready to add the content to my pages and this it will be complete.
