this is looking incredible since the last update!

couple questions:

is there a way for an admin to edit individual matches?
can it be possible to have total stats over all events in team profiles (matches, W/L/D, Xp)?

Hi, have downloaded the latest version and have updated VB 4.1.4 to latest security patch.

As soon as i enable your ladder system in my plugins the following error code apears...

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.' in forums/includes/class_bootstrap.php(537) : eval()'d code on line 13

how do i fix this to make them work

[Lord. Dela]

thats what we are hosting on our website....it's actually archives for a former competitive organization. since all our events were leagues or tournaments, i don't have any ladders created...

one thing i noticed was that even leagues are sorting by ELO ranking and NOT points/wins etc.... it would be nice if you could set the rank sorting for each individual ladder and league instead of selecting the same for all the events in the admincp.

[FireflyP2C]

please disregard previous post we have fixed the problem and it was not ladder related ... ;0)

just a passing thought, ladders and tournaments are currently set to match your forum default template, it would be great if we had the option to make each individual ladders use different templates and styles for example.. we have a default style, but we have child styles that match their games for individual forums, and would like to have ladders to match but we end up going back to the default style.

not sure if im explaining very well ... it makes sense in my head hahahaha

[GamersChallenge]

can someone maybe create a couple of widgets for this script? I would like to post hall of fame, upcoming matches and recent matches on my vb cms home page.

I run kinda often into this db error:

Database error in vBulletin 4.1.5:

Invalid SQL:

				INSERT IGNORE INTO session
					(sessionhash, userid, host, idhash, lastactivity, location, styleid, languageid, loggedin, inforum, inthread, incalendar, badlocation, useragent, bypass, profileupdate, apiclientid, apiaccesstoken)

any hints?

EDIT:

- this happens only, if the ladder product is active.
- some images are missing, since they have been removed in previous updates (like: /images/buttons/reputation-20.png )
- it would be nice to have the option to deactivate league modus, tournament and so on.
- is htere any way to get rid of: "Uncategorised xxx" on the startpage? if there is nothing without category - why it should be listet there?
- in tournaments: the admin needs to enter, who reached next round? would be cool, if users could do that (like one reports, the other confirms)
- uploading result (proof) screenshot does not work. just a box, no upload, url of images does not help
- When trying to save changes on the rules page, "save changes" tries to close the page.

I really hope someone can help me out

greets, Nik
