+1

Alot of us are stuck on 3.8 with this amazing system. Have over 140 tournaments on my site. Would really need an ported version for 3.8 and i would happily donate to you $50 if you happen to do it, and im sure there are many out there who would do the same too

[kinhell]

I think im missing something but how do I create a ladder/league/tournament catagories?

[Nuker_Viper]

Dumb question is there a readme thing thats tells me what is what on here? For example what does groups represent in the Leagues?

[kinhell]

Got what I asked before but how do I edit a ladders rules? I see nothing to allow me to do this? When I edit a ladder the only thing I can write is the description

[kinhell]

Also how to I even add myself to a ladder, I feel something is missing from my install as this stuff isnt obvious at all

I didn't see any response to this. I had the same problem. I'm using mysql5.5.8. 'turns out, none of the tables were created in the install process.

show tables like 'tmnt%'

returns nothing.
I looked and found the create statements in product-tournament2008.xml
they use the syntax create table blah () Type=MyISAM -- this failed--no longer supported by mysql. I changed all of these to Engine=MyISAM and the install created all the tables successfully.

from mysql: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/...ate-table.html

The older TYPE option was synonymous with ENGINE. TYPE has been deprecated since MySQL 4.0 but is still supported for backward compatibility in MySQL 5.1 (excepting MySQL 5.1.7). Since MySQL 5.1.8, it produces a warning. It is removed in MySQL 5.5. You should not use TYPE in any new applications, and you should immediately begin conversion of existing applications to use ENGINE instead. (See Section D.1.62, ?Changes in MySQL 5.1.8 (Not released)?.)

I have a problem in which when I try to add someone into the ladder, it is using his old username. For example, I use to have "abc123" and "abc" as members. Then, I change "abc" username into "xyz". When I try to add a player into username and I enter "abc" in the field, it keeps finding my old username, which is now "xyz" and add it into the ladder?

I hope my explanation is clear enough. Thank you.

you already tried: ACP -> Mantenance -> Update counter -> Fix broken userprofiles

Finds any users who do not have complete entries in the database. Sometimes the data is not inserted correctly and the user's profile becomes unusable. Running this should correct any incomplete profiles.
