I don't understand the question.

But to change the layout of the tournament page, edit template tmnt_display.

Upgraded easy as always top work thanks!!!

Great script. But one thing missing. The ability to set different challenge options for each ladder. This could be done via drop boxes if we have a place to add the choices per ladder. Like add a time/date check box, plus other game specific options via admin. For example for a MW2 ladder you could add Perks - yes no, Air Support - yes no, harcore - yes no etc. Then different options for another game.

I have 2 small Question:

Would it be Possible to have additional "Leaders" for a Squad. What I mean is:

Admin (Same as the Leader, just cant be removed by a Leader)
Co Admin (Same as leader, but can be removed by Admin, but not by Leader)
Leader (normal as now)
Co Leader (normal as now)

(also I would need 2 more "Ranks" in between of Co-Admin and leader), since I want to use that for my Clan Rosters as well (way better then to use these current Roster Addons)


And next Thing:
Is it somehow possible to show a Roster alone (without the Sidebar), so I can integrate them better as rosters, into each Squads Forum Part .?

//edit: Btw. This is one of the most useful Mods ever for a Clan Forum .

Hi, I'm new to the vbulletin system.

I just installed this mod and it seems to works fine. Anyway I want to translate it to Italian.
How can I do it? Which is the best and scalable way?

Thanks for any help!

1- I have installed the mod and it doesn't give me the ability to create a ladder. I can create a tournament, but not a ladder.


Any ideas why?

2- Also, I was an idiot and forgot to "upgrade" the mod from 2.8.4. I, instead, uninstalled the old one, and installed the new one with my vB 4.0* install so lost all of my data. I have a vb database backup from the day before, how hard is it to get the tmnt_* data from the "old" format and insert it in to the "new" one?

Thanks!
