I tested this on 2 different servers.
You are able to click on "Accept Challenge" but as soon as you click you'll be redirected to the ladders list.

A link must be broken. Have you edited any of the templates?

Brackets will be 'generated' once all the players/ teams have signed up.

However, for the lite version, tournament moderators will have to progress players/teams to the subsequent rounds.

I have the premium latest version, I still can't find this link anywhere after I start the bracket manually . Can I please get a link to this report bottom? Or if I can get some direct support please contact me at sbusinessgaming@gmail.com

No, I tested this on a clean vb 4.2.1 installation. Does team ladder works or its just me?

[SirPereira]

Are you thinking porting this to vBulletin 5?

[Jamie G]

Dom,

Would you be interested in porting Tournaments over to Xenforo for a price?

I have your vB version but would love to see it on Xenforo.

Hi,

With the side navigation in ladders/leagues, if i click the "Your Matches" part i get this error..

Not Found

The requested URL /ladders.phpleagues.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

And this seems to be the link for that "/ladders.phpleagues.php?do=view&id=16&sh=3"

Also im using a dark theme with red as the main color and the "Your Matches" is in Blue. Where can I change this to red please ?

Thanks in advance..

Find in ladders.php

PHP Code:

.

$nlcontent .= '<p><a href="ladders.php'.$ladder['url'].'&amp;sh=3" style="color: inherit;">'.$vbphrase['ladder_yourchlls'].'</a></p>';

. 


Replace with

PHP Code:

.

$nlcontent .= '<p><a href="'.$ladder['url'].'&amp;sh=3" style="color: inherit;">'.$vbphrase['ladder_yourchlls'].'</a></p>';

.
