Bananalive;

How can I change the crown image to a .png. I would like to use the below image rather then the .gif you have. Attached is image which will be reduced to 20x15. What file do I have to change the .gif to .png?

Edit: I am sorry I should have checked before asking. I have it correct now by editing the .gif to .png in the product file. The .png image looks better and would show better on all different colored forums.

I am a premium owner and need some help with the formatting due to my skin.

http://testsite.kbgservers.com/competitions.php?

This is our test site, how do I fix the padding of the top? (They are overlapping)

Also here

http://testsite.kbgservers.com/compe...gue-of-Legends

Rank 1st
Elo Rating 1000
XP 0

Rank, Elo Rating and XP text is black, how do I change that color? Same thing appears on tournament details widget.

On tournament comments, the posted comment box goes way off the side of the site
http://testsite.kbgservers.com/tourn...oL-Test-League

One last thing, is there a possibility of a widget for the front page of content.php? Just a list of current and upcoming tournaments.

Your forum does not allow guests to see your Tournament/Ladder/League mod. As far as a widget there is a script in the main file called vb4_widgets_cms.html that you can open in browser, and get the code, and add to a cms widget. There are also forum blocks you can create and open vb4_forum_blocks.html to see the different codes you can use.

Your custom style does not follow the regular forum tabs, so
1 . AdminCP -> Competition Settings -> General Settings -> Navbar Link -> No
2. And then add a tab manually
- OR -
1. Edit template tmnt_navbar
2. You probably want to remove everything between <ul class="floatcontainer"> and </ul>

-------

The black text is defined by css class, shade. Edit that css class to grey text for example, "color: #eee;"

------
For comment:

1. Edit template tmnt_comment
2. Find <div class="postbithead">
3. Replace with <div class="postbithead" style="width: 80%;">
-------

Look at vb4_widgets_cms.html (in product zip) for front page widgets.

Thank you, all of that worked.

Last issues though is the comment box is still oddly placed. Also I'm not sure I want to use a white background for that.

I also allowed guests to view the page.

i'm having trouble.

I installed this on my board 4.2 pl 1 and i can see the cp menu on the left, and set all the settings, but in the usergroups, there is no option in the drop down for 'Edit Tournament Permissions'

Thus, even as a super admin, i can't go to any of the php files, and it's not in the navbar either, even though I selected yes to enable that.

Edit the class from it.

So find in template tmnt_comment

<div class="postbithead"

Change to

<div

Also add to the style, so the line should like:

<div style="width: 80%; margin: 5px 5px 5px 80px;">

To edit tournament permissions, you go to AdminCP -> Usergroup Permissions

I'm releasing v5.3.2 later today to support the new vBulletin v4.2.0 navigation (navbar) system.

Fixed it thank you. The only thing left is that + next to the date on the comment.

Seems like the "Ladders and "Leagues" go hand in hand. How can I omit the Leagues Block as shown in the attached pic?

So when I create a new Category and select Tournament and Ladders or just Ladders I get the following Leagues block in the attached pic.

I would just like to use the Ladder portion and remove the League Option all together.

I do have Leagues disabled in the control panel, but the League Block still shows.
