Did you install this product: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232900 first? It provides the framework that this mod runs on top of. (including the database tables)

I've currently only programmed (1) tournament type amongst the planned tournament types is the swiss-seed tournament, which works in a very similar way, however instead of a ladder you get a swiss style tournament. I could probably fairly easilly create a ladder -> single elimination type as well, or i might make this possible in other ways eg a 'create a tournament based off this tournament' button.

not something i'd thought of but as i've not written a challenge system yet, this is deffinatly something I can include when I do. I also need to include a method to add a tournament description.

Already in the planned features :)

Alright I was able to install it, I did not realize that the other mod was required.

So everything looks ok except for when I go to create a thread using the mod. The "configuration" that I made is there in a drop down but then nothing else works. The "set options", "join" and "start" don't do anything but enter those words in the quick reply box. Also the "configuration" in the admin panel only consists of the event name.

That is as designed; you can add a comment if desired and then post the reply - the concept behind these mods is 'Play by post' :) Start won't do anything unless there are two players in the tournament - theres not much point in having a tournament with yourself.

the current version of this mod has no admin configurable options. The next release however will; in order to fix the bug in ie, I needed to update js files in all the pbpg releases and I wanted to add features to both of them before releasing the next update. I plan to get beta 1 of the core product out tomorrow, with releases for this mod and the chess mod following sometime over the weekend, all being well.

Ok but where do you set the type of tournament you want to have?

That will become both a user and admin option once there is more than one type avaliable. (One of the features I want to add to the next release is the swiss tournament type)

Update version now avaliable. Huge number of changes, see changelog for details.

Make sure you update the pbpg core product before installing/upgrading as this requires the latest version.

Not working in IE8 !! Firefox seems ok

I just wanted to say that this looks like a really cool mod and I'll probably install it soon. Thanks for making it!

Installed the update and it is working on IE8 now.
As the World Cup is coming soon, it would be nice to have a "Tipping competition" in the forums, participants picking up the winning teams before due date, and the winner gets certain points on a ladder. Is this possible?
