dont relly see anything different in the ladder part of the mod with 2.72 and has there been any thought to these? See pre-version release post and version history
here are some features i would love to see to the ladder part
1. admin being able to submit scores in ladder. Coming Soon hopefully next release
2a. auto thread creation upon challenge acception
2b. the option to have that thread have a poll and be able to set that poll to a winning number [ i use this for rap battles so say when the poll hit 3-0 or 5-w/e it would close]
2c. upon closing maybe have it set to take the poll results as the score the players need to submit, thus eliminaton the need to have players submit the score...especially the ones who lost since i find they seem to not want to input their score
3. ELO ranking in postbit with actual rank number Would involve too many queries
thats all i can think of for now....let me know if you think you could incorparate this
See red text above

Is there any way to replace the teams in the ladder with my social groups? I've kindve converted the social groups feature in a clans feature, including the ability to create forums - which is a feature I would like to retain...
Ok our members want this feature (we need it bad ):
The ability to prevent certain tourney stats to be added in Hall of Fame! We usually organize open (public) tournaments for every forum members, but now we have organized few "closed" (private) clan tournaments for certain people only. And we want only public tournament stats to be added in Hall of Fame, otherwise it's a bit unfair.
1. I think it would be great if there was a way to set a date cut-off for ladders. Once that date is hit then the ladder gives the admin/mod the ability to create a tournament based on the results of the ladder. The top teams would be placed high on the bracket with bye's into the second round/third round depending on the number of participants. It would also matchup teams based on their record from the ladder, so the lowest ranked teams would face the strongest teams(assuming that a bye system is not possible or doesn't make sense). This would create a league/playoff atmosphere around the mod and would be VERY helpful in my opinion.
2. Challenge Details are needed for the ladder. Basically, a place to put in the details of the match in question. A few suggestions would be Map Name, Mode, Number of players needed, Date & Time, Notes.
Feature Request: Tournament Add-on
1. The ability to seed players/teams in the tournament bracket.
I love this mod, it's just missing a few things that my group needs to completely implement it. The Tournament Add-on request is a REALLY big deal for us. We're trying to put together a gaming event where we would utilize the ladder for the "season" and then based on the standings after select period of time we would then create a "playoff" tournament bracket. The problem is we have no way to place the participants in their respective order.
I know I asked already once and I know others have requests but I figured I'd make my case again.
But why not add a league system into it too?
I could do with a league system,having a FIFA09 online league board it would come in very handy.
At the moment i have to use a separate programme to generate fixtures and update league table.
But if this was to be implemented into VB then it would finish the hack off.
Thanks
I agree but you need it to translate into a tournament bracket with the appropriate seeding. Otherwise you can't have a valid playoff system and I understand that the transition may be complicated. Which is why I would settle for a tournament bracket that would allow for seeding. At least that way we could manually start the tournament after the ladder was over with the appropriate people in their positions. Right now we can't do that because there is no way to place people in any order within the tournament bracket.
Ya,but the seeding doesnt matter in the league does it.
Because you are going to have to play all the teams in the league.Home and away.
Kinda like the premiership.
All i need is to add the teams and generate the fixtures,the games will be played on the PS3 and then the scores added on to the system,and in turn it will generate a league table with the results that we input.

I'm referring to what you do after the ladder/league. The ladder is already built to function as a league of sorts, with some tweaks like cutoffs it would function exactly like a league. In my original requests I stated it would be great if the ladder would transition into a seeded playoff/tournament bracket because then it would all happen automatically. However, if that is too complicated at least having a tournament bracket that you could manually adjust and create would give people the ability to have leagues with playoffs that make sense.
yes. after that it happens nothing. i still show the message.
maybe the mod does only works with sql5?
Banana I have finally fixed my issue of the importing product, please wait...
and the mod never installing.
The issue was I was using MySql 5.0.51 but php 4. I switched my server to use php 5.2.6 and it installed..
however now no matter what I get this error when trying to join a tournament with any user under any usergroup:
you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
The usergroup administrators has Yes to all the options for tournaments & ladders which is the account I'm trying to join on. There is no banned user IDs in the vbulletin options for the tounaments & ladders.. what should the column's value look like for yes to all permissions on tournament permissions in phpmyadmin? I have 1023 for the value after setting the values to all yes and still can't join any tournaments..
