The script will still be functional with this error, but will be fixed for next version.

I have been trying to troubleshoot server errors that I've had since around the time this mod was installed. I don't suspect this mod has anything to do with it but I've hit a dead end. Has anyone else received domain-wide 500 Internal Server Errors snce installing this mod?

Never had any issues like that mate with this mod and we have used it for a while and also installed all the updates

[NovoCiv]

Well I disabled the mod and the errors continue, so the two are not related. Nothing to worry about

I'm shockingly bad at coding, using firebug to implement images underneath the rounds, this is a request to have an option to insert different maps/images at different rounds when creating tournaments.

Is this possible?

Keep up the good work

First: REALLY AWESOME HACK!

Second: I have some suggestions for improvements...

Some sort of Check-in system for tournements would be really usefull for online tournements held in the Esport community.

Another improvement would be to make it possible to set moderators to specific tourneys and ladders rather then the whole zhangbang! So that you could have people stand for each their own tourney. So that you could have tournaments arranged by different people but hosted on the same site. Also if you could specify to whom a certain tourney would be visible for, fx "for premium members only".

Hi,

I am getting this error when opening competitions.php

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]\competitions.php on line 2934

I have entered two teams as a test. When i click into any of them i have this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\etsclan.co.uk\httpdocs\vbforum\i ncludes\class_core.php(4010) : eval()'d code on line 19

One thing though when i installed the product i had an issue with adding a team, there was an SQL error where group by wasn't entered. The SQL was this below:

SELECT ladders.id AS lid, ladders.title AS title, COUNT(r.id) + 1 AS rank
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "tmnt_ladder_players AS players
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "tmnt_ladders AS ladders
ON (players.lid = ladders.id)
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "tmnt_ladder_players AS r
ON (r.lid = players.lid AND r.rank > players.rank)
WHERE players.userid = '$teamid'
AND players.pot = 1
AND players.active = 1

I added this manually and it worked

GROUP BY ladders.id, ladders.title, r.id

Don't know if that means anything

[generalclev]

Can anyone help?

big thumbs up for this mod, we recently upgraded to 4.1.2 and installed this mod less than a week ago and already have 4 or 5 active ladders and a big tournament coming up. :up:

Just a suggestion and it might have been posted already but I only read thru the first 20 of the 51 pages of posts, but maybe adding a maps database for each ladder. That way when you challenge someone you can pick the map from a dropdown. This may also be useful when you have a ladder thats best of 3 maps and the challenger can pick 2 maps and the person that gets challenged picks 1 map. We've had a couple instances where weople cant agree on a map. (cmon people figure it out!)

Great work, my guys love it!
