after upgrade, i cannot see my ladder. says no permissions error, but when i checked the usergroup, i have the correct permissions set.

help!

Understood, as a result would you say that the features more than likely will not be added by the end of this month? I appreciate everything you've done and all your hard work so I'm not trying to be a jerk. We're just trying to start a tournament in the next two weeks so I want to know if to wait for the update or if I should go ahead and use something else in the meantime.

Nope, I'd start the tournament

Do you mean you cannot access 'viewladder'

Do your usergroup options for Tournaments and Ladders look like this?

actually how and why are the tournaments conducted ?
can u give an example of how a tournament is conducted ? i.e the purpose of tournament, is it quiz or somthing like that...

For Gaming Tournament?

You start tournament, members join, tournament starts, tournament happens, tournament results displayed.

You could use it for a quiz, using the LMS tournament type.

You should put an option to where you can switch between different skins/layouts in the AdminCP. Say you are running Skin 1 on your forum and you want to use Skin 2 for the Ladders & Tournaments mod....

Anyway of doing this?

It looks just like that... I have all options set to Yes for Administrator group. But cannot access.

All the other usergroups have the correct access according to their usergroup rights.

I have some suggestions, I haven't used this yet because my website isn't so popular but I play on gamebattles, and I this script has the potential to be as good of a script as the one running there...

-add the ability for single players (free agents) to sign up for ladders and be recruited by teams needing players
-maybe social group integration for teams that sign up
-more team information on team page

• team avatars/logos
• team website
• list of tournament/ladders joined
• overall team statistics based on ladders/tournaments won/lost
• upcoming matches / challenges
• match history
• tournament history

-ladder avatars/logos
-tournament avatars/logos
-addition of league play format in ladder options (seasonal league type competition, instead of ladder challenges)
-ability to link specific forum IDs to ladders/tournament which then pull recent threads from that forum onto the ladder/tournament page

I apologize if any of these features are already implemented and i just don't see them because i haven't held or done any tournaments/ladders with the script yet. my forums aren't very populated at all, and i'm just suggesting things that i see as missing. overall the script is wonderful and i'd even pay money to see these improvements/suggestions made. thanks so much for all the hard work on this!
-timezone implementation (to know which timezones teams are coming from)

Most of those are already in, but League play, & Social Group integration would be great additions.!!

yea...maybe more notifications in your navbar area too

• possibly add notifications in the area where you receive your new PM notifications in the navbar, you can have recent challenge or match notifications in that area as well.
• also, when a player is submitting the scores of a match there should be the possibility of uploading screenshots for proof of the score, can't just take peoples word. is there also a dispute system?
• adding players to teams, this is automatic. it doesn't even send out a request to the player you are adding as to whether or not they want to be a part of your team. this should work just like vbulletin's friend system, where an invitation is sent and has to be accepted before a player is added to a teams roster.
• you can even add in a trash talking feature for upcoming matches like TWL, where players can vote on who they think is going to win the match and leave comments for upcoming and completed matches...

im not sure if most of my suggestions are already in, i don't see anything about "free agents" and i don't see any way to add ladder logos/avatars. i do see team logos/avatars available but it doesn't seem to be displaying or working for me. i'll test it out more...

this is the best ladder/tourny script ive ever seen for vbulletin to be fair, i would just definitely like to see it improved upon further and integrated even more with the other great community features of vbulletin.

Could it be possiable to put a extra slot in the team members section for a gamertag for xboxlive? I run tournaments on my site but it is hard when I only have a username and no gamertag to contact them.

That would be helpful, but they should have their gamertag listed on thier profile.

I have them do that also. But it would make it way easier for everyone if they could just go to team page and send invite instead of going though 3 or 4 pages.

Excellent mod can't wait to get this up and running. Will there be any plans for a league format?

that would be awesome.

though I'm still hoping for a DOUBLE ELIMINATIONS first. :) (fingers crossed)

I already have them split up. :)

So yes, great idea.!!

nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! more to manage. more hassle.

just keep it as is!!!!! if you do you're gunna end with bunch of ppl just asking if you could combine em :rolleyes: heh. mark my words! :p

I plan on installing this, but I'm using 3.7.3. Should I expect any errors or anything I need to edit?

It should be fine without any edits.

Edit: Oh my, I'm an idiot.. *facepalm*

Installed mod, everything works great, thank you kind sir!``

i want to cancel your copiright if it's possible. how much i have to pay for?

yea idont really think the file should be broken up either, i voted no to the poll but its your script.

happy to see a league is being implemented!

I run into when i view a ladder. Ideas?

The error comes from the custom style not having a unknown.gif image for users who do not have an avatar. I'll fix the problem in next release.

Is there a temporary fix I could do? Thanks.

Find in competitions.php:
Replace:

I found the code, and replaced it with what you said...now i'm getting:

Agreed.

Yea it is just as easy to split them up by linking to the direct areas.. no need to confuse people i guess. (but i wont mind because i have them split. :))

i have installed this mod a few minutes ago. for the tournment is all ok. i have created 3 tournament with some people without a problem. the problem is in the ladder. for the first users no problem. for the second joined users, i read on the top of the pages this:

Warning: getimagesize() [function.getimagesize]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/forum/images_new/misc/unknown.gif) is not within the allowed path(s): ('.:/tmp:/home:/usr/local/lib/php:/nfs/home:/usr/home:/usr/local/bin/') in [path]/competitions.php on line 3874

Warning: getimagesize(/forum/images_new/misc/unknown.gif) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in [path]/competitions.php on line 3874

the second user is visible, and also ranking and my logo, but at the top of my logo there is this error... i don't have a custom style...

uh, another problem... on the single torunament, when i click on the progress player icon, i see an error, and everything is the same than before...

You should take a screen shot of the error message so banana has an idea of what it says.

Also, is there any way to manually "seed" a tournament? Some of our users want a "staff versus users" tournament, and I'd have to manually assign seed positions...

Possible? Maybe in the future?

nvm got it

Suggestion:

Perhaps have some way of organizing ladders a little better... Some sort of catagories or something. Just an idea.

here is the error

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

do you have any ideas???

Can anyone join any teams once it has been created? I think it should be invite only, depending who the owner is.

You can give usergroups permission to join a team or not. But players "request" to join a team... the team leader has to make accept them. (Unless a Admin/mod says otherwise)

Coming in next version
