1. re. Ladders, I see where I input start and end date/times in description. But I don't see where they are displayed for users.
2. again re. Ladders, My tournament descriptions are appearing in the competition forum I specified in settings->options. But I don't see my Ladder descriptions. Should they be appearing too?
I'm experimenting with a league system. If you have 30 players joining the league, how are they normally splitting into groups? Is it based upon last seasons league? If it is then the first season would have to random put them in groups, I assume.
This is great news. Just what I have been looking for. Hope it comes off.
I recently had an issue with a version which is now fixed. I went back to a earlier version of the ladder. v4.2.4 just to have it running while a fix was made.
is it possible for me to just upgrade to the current version? or do i need to remove the v4.2.4 then do a fresh install?
Join User Tables to User Profile Tables
Enables display of user profile fields in tournament brackets and ladders. Not necessary unless you want to user {vb:raw userinfo.field1} in template tmnt_bracket. Note: will slightly increase server load on some pages.
If i click this i get database ewrrors
Is there anything i have to do here ?
Do i have to add the "{vb:raw userinfo.field1" to the template - tmnt_bracket ?

An upgrade should be fine. If you completely uninstall it, then you will lose and ladders, tournaments, teams and all data.

Great mod!
Thanks!
1. See attached screenshot. Depending on the time now, it will display ladder finsihed at ... or ladder starting at... or ladder ending at..
2. Are you using the new layout or the old one? The 'Maximum Description Length' option is the maximum description preview length to be shown throughout this modification
