Thanks again Gemma.

So, if someone invites you to play a tournament.

You log into the forum, then:
1. Click Notifications, select Inbox
2. Click the subject line to open the message.
3. Click the "View Tournament Details" link in the message.
4. Arrive at the Tournament ladder page. At this point, the user, (and in this case me) have no idea what to do. Just a deadend.
5. Click randomly (or ask Gemma) until you click Tournaments Awaiting Players.
6. Click some more, or have an flash of insight and click "sign up". Hopefully, they signed up for the tournament that they were invited to, as there doesn't seem to be any connection here between the invite and the acceptance.

Is there anyway to reduce the clicks and to get to the point? Without an instruction manual, the users can get worn out by the time they figure out how to get on board.

How about something like this:
1. Click Notifications, select Inbox
2. Click the subject line to open the message.
3. Click the "Join Tournament" link in the message, which does the same thing as step #6 above? Or get fancy and have two links, with the second being decline invitation?

That shortens the rabbit trail by half, removes a dead end, reduces navigational ambiguity. Again, this is a great script, just looking for a way to keep the user moving forward in getting to play a tournament.

In the PM you receive it should link to the tournament you are invited to; all you then need to do is click the sign up button (link) on the page.

I guess you could expand the PM text a little to say something like below by editing the notify_tournament_invite_message phrase.

Code:

{1} has invited you to participate in an arcade tournament.

Game: {2}
Tournament Title: {3}

You can review details of the tournament through the link below and register your  participation by clicking on the 'Sign Up To this Tournament' link. If you don't wish to participate just ignore this message.

['url={4}/arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewtourmnt&tid={5}]View Tournament Details[/url]
['url={4}/arcadetourmnt.php?do=jointourmnt&&tid={5}]Sign Up To This  Tournament[/url]

You will need to remove the ' from the coded lines as it is only included to allow the code to show)

['url={4}/arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewtourmnt&tid={5}]View Tournament Details[/url]
['url={4}/arcadetourmnt.php?do=jointourmnt&&tid={5}]Join This Tournament[/url]

Just installed, and it looks as thought the sub navigation bar overlaps a bunch of information, is there a fix for this? Thanks!

I think what the issue is the forum is highlighting when I click arcade and the nav stuff from there is showing up over riding it, and I,m not sure why, I looked every where and even made more nav bars tabs and it does the same thing, any time I make a new nav bar tab, it high lights the forum tab even though I'm not clicking it, which is Odd.

Hello Gemma,

I have exactly the same problem as Recon describet it.

Is there a solution for that?

Thank you.

Can you show a screenshot of your navigation manager settings for the arcade tab(s)?

I am having a problem submitting the arcade scores, it just boots me back to the forum home page. I do not have an index.php my forum.php is my index.

Amaury 08-14-2012 03:35 PM

So I noticed if I'm viewing anything to do with tournaments, such as the Start a New Tournament page, it gives me an unknown location. Everything else, though, like the main arcade page and leaderboard, is Viewing Page Arcade like it should be.

Is there a way to fix this?

Also, is there a way to separate games? Currently, it says Viewing Page Arcade when playing games, but I would like it to be Playing Game [Game].
