The following variables are customisable:

http://www.yoursite.com/forums/ladders.php?do=ladder_player_image&w=250&h=90&u=101&l=17&bg=FFF000&b=000EEE&bw=1

• w=250
  image width: 250px
• h=90
  image height: 90px
• u=101
  userid = 101
• l=17
  ladder id; 17
• bg=FFF0000
  background colour as hex
• b=000EEE
  border colour as hex
• bw=1
  border width: 1px

If you've got any more variables you would like to be added, then I'll try and add them for future version.


To edit it further you would need to edit ladders.php lines 153-324

I'm trying to say merge the rules into the tab for the ladders. Keep the rules how they are for the tournaments. The rules tab for the ladders though should be customizable for each ladder. Right now you have it so we can edit the rules and they show up for all ladders. Make the rules tab on each ladder customizable so we can edit the rules for each ladder and they don't show up on the actual ladder page (you have to click the rules page to view the rules).

For example I cutout a image of the current view of a ladder and the way it would look after you remove the section. That information you would have there would show up in the Rules tab.

Another idea I would like to suggest is a Prize tab on Tournaments.

Ahh, i understand now, I'll look into this...
