I have a tournament going, and having an issue with celtill60 and ALAN, i dont see a progress bar with there user names...


now here is the thing, when I first created this tournament and started it it was fine, but when i tried to advance tEk_brian93, not only did it advance him but his name showed up between celtill60 and ALAN aswell.....

Hi,
I love this mod.

But I have a problem, though minor.

When I use the option:
"Auto insert link to tournaments in navbar?"
It adds a questionmark at the end of the URL which makes the navbar all weird. How can this be fixed so it works like in quick links?

Thank you

Find in template

<a class="navtab" href="competitions.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:var vboptions.tmnt_modname}</a>

Replace with

<a class="navtab" href="competitions.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:var vboptions.tmnt_modname}</a>

It should have been adding bye players to a 12 person Single Elimination Tournament to make it a 16 player tournament; but it wasn't so that messed up the brackets.

Fixed for next version

Hey mate, im having a bit of trouble with the ladder icons. the url that i type in the icon spot doesnt seem to save, and is just showing a broken link. I have updated to 4.1.6, do i need to upload any of the files, or just the new xml file?

The url to the icon was probably over 150 charcters? I've removed this limit in attached product file

As for the update, you should also upload/overwrite the old php files.
