This is a fork of PHPLeague originally created by Maxime Dizerens
Fork Author: Timothy Lim 
Fork Page  : https://github.com/thewheat/PHPLeague-for-WP/
Fork Reason: To implement changes that are more suited for my use case

Note: if something doesn't work / doesn't display, try renaming the plugin directory to "phpleague" and please inform me of the issue as well

I totally commend Maxime for creating this plugin which suits one of my clients use case, however I found that the plugin was a bit lacking in areas and not very usable. This is my attempt to make it more usable for the betterment of the plugin itself.

PHPLeague is really easy to install so just follow the guide:

1. Upload the `phpleague` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory or install it from the repository
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. First of all, you are required to create a first league with a name and year
4. Then, you need to create the clubs - accessible on your PHPLeague menu
5. Go back on the dashboard and click on "Teams" to assign the clubs in this particular league
6. Then, follow the steps on your sub-menu till the last one named "Generate"
7. Once the data generated, go in your news editor and use the PHPLeague button to insert the data in your post
8. Still some trouble? Have a look to the "About" menu or go on PHPLeague.com.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= I've just activated PHPLeague, what do I need to do now? =

First, I strongly encourage you to read the guide I wrote for you. It may help you better understand the plugin and save you some precious time although PHPLeague is supposed to be user-friendly.

= Why did you choose not to use WordPress default tables? =

PHPLeague will be available as a standalone version for other users and in order to be able to import/export easily the data between those different environments, it wasn't possible to use the WP tables.
And let's face it, those tables are not really optimized to handle very well that kind of plugin.

= Does the plugin handle tournament (e.g. World Cup or Friendly)? =

At the moment, it does not. And it is not part of features for the next releases except if I receive a lot of requests.

= Do I need to have Javascript activated? =

I decided not to use AJAX technology but Javascript is necessary in order to manage almost everything in the administration area (thanks to the interface...).
In the front part, no Javascript at all. Always keeping in mind that plenty of browsers handle javascript badly or not at all.

= Where do I need to add my logos? =

A new `phpleague` folder is - supposedly - automatically created during the installation in your `uploads` directory. Then, add your logos in the corresponding folders (mini or big).

= Another question? =
