Adding a "hidden" column to the squad screen

[hrmantovani]

I asked this once in the "Show Your Skin" thread and people seemed to agree that if the info is available in the game, it should be possible. Today I was looking for a long time at the staff screen (doing my first real save on FM23 instead of managing giants) and I realized that it is!

What I want to do is add the left column, the "Team" one, to my custom squad screen view.

This is the screen that I use to calculate role abilities for each player with Excel, then use it to rank my players by position. If I could also export a column indicating the squad a player is currently on (Senior, B, U19...) I could make a lineup for each of these, making it easier to manage.

The id is <integer id="id" value="Pcnt" />  but it will only read senior squad regardless of what level they are at.

Which file should I be looking to edit? Ideally my goal is to add this column to the left of my custom view presented on the main post

As i never found a way to make it usable in custom views, even when changing <flags id="customisation_context" value="none" /> to play.. it's imo only usable if you build in a view to the skin you're using

please correct me if im wrong.

I won't be able to correct you, skinning is really not my thing! How hard it is to build in a view? I've seen this done in the Zealand skin I guess with the NewGan view? The things I need are UID, position, nationality, age, name, personality, contract expiration, club and then the attributes. This is then exported to Excel to make automated views like the one below.

I assume you need to get the skinning IDs one by one?

most if not all id's you'll need to make your view can be found in person properties.xml

 

person properties.xml

Thanks @snowofman and @RevolverRon! I got everything working. Putting all the attributes messes up the view but this is enough because I can now copy and configure the view as I wish

If you want it to appear in the drop-downs you also need to give it a category, subcategory (optional) and a name in the person properties xml.

        <!-- Player club team type -->

        <record>

            <integer id="id" value="PtmT" />

            <integer id="width" value="90" />

            <flags id="customisation_context" value="play" />

            <translation id="category" type="use" value="User Added" />

            <translation id="subcategory" type="use" value="Optional subcategory" />

            <translation id="name" type="use" value="Team Squad" />

            <record id="widget_info">

                <symbol id="class" value="team_type_label" />

            </record>

            <record id="column_widget_properties">

                <flags id="alignment" value="left,centre_y" />

            </record>

            <record id="column_heading">

                <flags id="alignment" value="left,centre_y" />

                <translation id="text" translation_id="319549" type="use" value="Squad[COMMENT: column header text on a screen which lists recent international involvement for a club's players]" />

                <translation id="hint" translation_id="319549" type="use" value="Squad[COMMENT: column header text on a screen which lists recent international involvement for a club's players]" />

            </record>

        </record>

This should let@hrmantovaniadd it to existing views.

This is even better and easier than having to add all the attributes! Thank you for your help

What skin is this?

its in the person properties xml so it can be used with any skin.  if the skin has a "properties" folder it will be in there.  If not you can make a properties folder and put the xml in there. 

To apply it you need to clear cahce with the skin applied then restart the game.
