This project IS modifiable, so if someone want to take on the task of modifying it to conform more to Vbulletin, by all means be my guest. As it is right now, users will have to create another log in.

As far as I know this should work with all Vbulletin 4 versions, but I have no way of testing that.


Change Log:
Updated version 1.1
Now includes product xml. No need for a
template change.

What target URL is used in the vBulletin Navigation Manager?

pickempicks.php?

I'm still open to suggestions but this did not work for me.

So, at least for now, uninstalled

how come only 8 installs for this plugin so far ? Should be a lot more i'd figure...maybe the word just isn't out yet ?

I was just looking exactly just for this just now , as the other Tournament / Ladder / League plugin seems like too much...for a simple pick em plugin.

any security issues arised yet? It isn't typical plugin procedure to do the whole database login / password thingee .

not quite understanding why this url needs to be in config.php -

$siteUrl = 'http://localhost/personal/phppickem.com/application/ ?

and when installed, will my existing members still see the NFL login screen when logged in.. or do they have to signup remotely to another site to pick the pick'ems ?

trying to figure out this plugin..before installing.

thanks

Anyone who wants to take part in the pickems has to create a new account but the script is hosted on your site not another one.

ive gotten this all to work so far for the season only thing i noticed is that when you click on a team the scores of the previous games does not show in the right column

[legiondadon]

TIme / Result column...nothing shows after the week is over...should say who won and stuff

[Krusty1231]

Looks like this isn't broken code so much as forgotten code - the case is there to do something if there's a score entered, but the "do something" part is just "print an empty table cell". So to fix this, you can replace line 77 in schedule.php (should be 77 - you're looking for the line after "//if score is entered, show result").

It was:

echo ' <td></td>' . "\n";

Replace it with:

echo ' <td>'.$visitorTeam->teamName.' '.$result['visitorScore'].', '.$homeTeam->teamName.' '.$result['homeScore'].'</td>' . "\n";

Here is how it should look in the first screenshot:

You could make the winners appear "bold" if you add this instead of the code above to the same location:

if ((int)$result['homeScore'] > (int)$result['visitorScore']) { echo ' <td>'.$visitorTeam->teamName.' '.$result['visitorScore'].' &larr;<b>'.$homeTeam->teamName.' '.$result['homeScore'].'</b></td>' . "\n"; } if ((int)$result['visitorScore'] > (int)$result['homeScore']) { echo ' <td><b>'.$visitorTeam->teamName.' '.$result['visitorScore'].'</b> &rarr; '.$homeTeam->teamName.' '.$result['homeScore'].'</td>' . "\n";}

And the second screenshot shows you the result.

I hope that helps you!

Hey man that did the trick Krusty i appreciate your time you took to answer my question worked very well

Official Game day is 59 days away I figured I would throw up the schedule for this years games if anyone wants it.

Just import the new schedule via phpadmin.
