I have two questions about the plugin.

Am I able to change the default tab to the description tab? And am I able to deactivate comments tab?

How can I do both of those things?

This would require editing the php code

Disable commenting permissions.

1. Is there a way to disable or remove categories completly? I do not need categories at all and now it's just looks kinda weird with all this "without category" stuff everywhere.

2. All my users are from one timezone - how can I change default time zone to start a tournament. Now it's GMT +0 so first they have to think about time, then change timezone to GMT +0 and then set time. I would be easier if I could just set time zone to the one we have.

3. How can i remove all credits info from matches? Like:
Cost 0.00 credits per user
Winner receives 0.00 credits

Since I have credits disabled that's kinda weird to post this info.

Is there a calender option for upcoming tournaments which could be placed into a forums block? Would be fantastic to add tournaments which are pending to the blocks on the forum and the option to add an image for these.

1. Yes it's option in admincp -> vbulletin settings.

2. this would require editing the template tmnt_new

3. If you have disabled credits, this should not show, what screen/page/template do you see it on?

hi bananalive

can u help me here

[Morrus]

Long, long thread! I've installed it, and created a test team and invited a couple of people. They get an error saying "Error. Invalid Team"

I did try to search this epic thread, and found an updated team.php earlier in the thread, but that didn't fix it.

Any ideas? Thanks!
