What version are you running?

I've created a number of team categories.. when editing a team, it automatically defaults the category selection to the first option in the drop down box.

Are you able to make it so when editing the display value is the value previously entered and it only updates when physically changed?

Quick fix:


Find in teams.php

PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->options['tmnt_allow_uncat'])
        {
            $categories .= '<option value="0"></option>';
        } 


Below add

PHP Code:

        $select_catid = $team['catid'];

Because a lot of users are forgetting to send in support tickets bc they dont know there match is disputed.

I'll add in redirect to support tickets from disputed matches.

Love the Idea of a Small Chat/Shout system inside the Mod it would be great to have this for Users on ladders or Leagues to arrange games or Sort any issues etc.
Do you have any plans on this Banana?

Could you point out where in the code these are stored so we could alter them? If not then are larger tournaments just impossible with this? Sort of disappointing.

Can you please look at the vb3.8 version and update it as it does say "Supported"

Hi Dom,

I would like to add SteamID: [fieldXX] underneath 'Rank: Leader' on the Team Member template.

Are you able to please let me know where in the template I need to add the code to do this?

Also, feature request:

Add side block for team activity. Team 1 just registered - PlayerA just joined Team 1; and so on.
