v2.6.7: 15 November 2008
- Paging for ladder competitors definable in vB Options
- Improved ladder template
- reduction/ optimisation in queries per page
- missing templates added to template cache

I do not understand. What are you trying to do?

The error message is from missing column (tournamentpermissions) in mysql database

Excellent thanks for the update bananalive. Works a treat again.

Actually just found a little bug. One of my members challenged another and it came up as 7 challenges you. Its using the userid number instead of member name?

[S]Which page is this on?[/S]

Edit: Found it. It was with PM challenge

Fix implement in attached product zip - just re-upload competitions.php
(Also updated first post)

Cool thanks.

Another bug.... now there is no option for the 'challenged' to accept the challengers challenge.

:(

Thanks thats done the trick... if I stumble across anything else I will let ya know.

I appreciate all your hard work. :)

Now teams can not join new ladders :/

And one of my members went from 21st to 8th on the ladder and the little arrow is pointing down despite climbing all them places. :(

v2.6.8 released with following bugs fixed:

Any idea what could be wrong with mine banana? I import it, it starts it..:
Importing Product, Please Wait...

[:]

And just sits there.. my host says the servers not timing out and there's only a limit on the memory usage of scripts.. I don't see why it won't go. I can't install ANY version of this mod now, was working up until 2.6.0 for me.. =\

try disabling plugin system then importing it then re-enabling plugin system

still doesn't =\ not a clue what's going on.. I can install bigger products that work fine.. just reinstalled vbplaza without a single problem and that has a lot more template edits and sql queries than this.. idk..

What version are you upgrading from?

None, I uninstalled it completely and trying to reinstall, won't do it.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but where do i set how many teams a person can create?

Im looking in vBulletin Options > Tournament Options but cant see a setting to control that....or is a person only allowed to create one team by default? :confused:

Thanks in advance :)

It is set by Usergroup. :D




What do i do with this..? (what does "CHMOD 777" mean.?)
I uploaded everything & it looks fine now, but what does that term mean.?
Thanks


Also, I got a simple question..
What is the difference between the 2 Tournament Modes:
Last Man Standing and Single Elimination.. They sound the same to me..!?

Thanks

That makes that directory writable so the mod can upload team logos (images) to it.

You can set that folders permissions via ftp programs like Mozillas FTP Client. You select the folder when you have connected via ftp, and set the permissions by entering 777.

HTH

So i guess it got uploaded automatically.. when i uploaded all the ".php" files.?
Because the images are working fine now.

Are you going to make it so we can edit our rosters and team leaders and can edit them. Like remove and invite people by username?

Maybe a button to get to your team.

And for challenges maybe have them so for each ladder they are separate, not just one list.

That would be cool.

Server Type Linux
Web Server Apache (cgi)
PHP 4.4.9
PHP Max Post Size 8.00 MB
PHP Maximum Upload Size 20.00 MB
PHP Memory Limit 40.00 MB
MySQL Version 5.0.51a-log
MySQL Packet Size 10.00 MB

Or is there any specific PHP settings that the mod requires to install? A few options in my php are turned off..

Would any of these be limiting it banana so that it couldn't finish installing? I don't see why it's the only mod that just sits there and doesn't install through th product manager for me, anything else will.

It seems that it does do the database edits, just doesn't do any template edits or add the permission settings into my vbulletin... the database edits are done and it just stops after that..

Hello,

WOndering if you could create a page for results of previous tournaments
Set it in rows like they are but who won what and when.

I get this message once ive created a tournament:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 46080 bytes) in /home/sites/mysite.com/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions.php on line 936

I've been getting this problem for over a month now, anyone know whats a matter?

brilliant way of doing online gamming turnies though thanx big time for this

Okay I can edit the usergroup permissions but the link isn't showing up on the index I gave my group full permissions and even when I go to competition.php manually it says I don't have the privilege.

Hey bananalive, appriciate alot for this really good mod!

Everything seems to be working fine for me except for one thing. After you add a single elimination ladder with teams not players, when it creates a topic on the forums, instead of No. of teams it still shows No Players: even though it is a team elimination not players.

Edit - Nevermind. Resolved. Good mod!

I've got very little experience with servers so I cannot tell you if it is a setting stopping you installing but this might work if its problem with usergroup permissions

modify PHP settings to increase memory_limit option
Make sure you userid is not in Banned Userids list in Tournament & Ladder Options

Didn't work, however I am able to install 2.5.7 flawlessly. Trying to go anywhere beyond that does not finish the install. I noticed that the way everything was done from 2.5.8 and beyond in the product xml is greatly different from 2.5.7 and before.. not sure what exactly changed but looking at the code a lot of stuff did and I think for some reason that's why it's not working.

I tried upgrading from 2.5.7 to 2.5.8 and it did (didn't fully install but the new product went through..) however then I get an sql error:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT userid, id, time, title FROM ODVBtmnt_announcements ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 0,;

Guessing that's from the line 179 in 2.5.8's product code:
$anns = $db->query_read("SELECT userid, id, time, title FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."tmnt_announcements ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 0, $noanns");

So yeah not sure what you changed in the product xml from 2.5.7 to above.. but for some reason it's the reason I can't use this anymore =\

Hi bananalive,

Is there way to prevent 1 person from getting an Advance to finals?

If 9 players or an Odd amount sign up for a tournament, 1 person will be in the final without even doing a battle, anyway we could make the system more fair.

the script should follow a system like this.
if there are 9 players or an odd amount, then the odd amount should battle first. [ Example:

P1
P2
P3
P4
P5
Since we only have 5 players, then the tournament brackets should start with 2 players battling first
P1 vs P2 <==== the winner will advance to make a more even and fair Bracket

P1
P2
P3
P4
Now the brackets are even. and no one gets an advance to finals.

See below Example.
