I'm off work this week, so thought I'd at XHTML validity. It took me a bit longer than expected but the good news is that I believe the attached files now makes this product 100% XHTML Transitional Valid . The main offenders were the use of & rather than &amp;, unclosed <input> tags and unnecessary </a> tags. There was also the occasional unclosed <img> tag or alt attribute missing. The changes I made to the files are purely XHTML related, nothing else, and are for the 2.7.1 product and the post-2.7.1 amended competitions.php file.

-------------------------

In regards to the changes made in 2.7.1, the error of the avatar overlaying text that King Fly reported is reproducible in Internet Explorer (displays fine in both FF and Chrome). That said, it displays correctly with the XHTML changes I made.

However, there appears to be some sort of error with the longest win streak working in the advanced user info display;

Will there be an update once VB3.8 goes gold or do you anticipate it working right away?

Tournaments collapsable cell was showing a minus icon instead a plus. The fix is simple:

tmnt_shell template

on line 156 find:

src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_alt.gif"

replace with:

src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_alt_collapsed.gif"

Working fine now.

Thanks bananalive

Is there anyone to increase the number of people allowed for a single tournament? I want to increase it to at least 128 or 256.

Feature Request: Ladder Add-on

1. I think it would be great if there was a way to set a date cut-off for ladders. Once that date is hit then the ladder gives the admin/mod the ability to create a tournament based on the results of the ladder. The top teams would be placed high on the bracket with bye's into the second round/third round depending on the number of participants. It would also matchup teams based on their record from the ladder, so the lowest ranked teams would face the strongest teams(assuming that a bye system is not possible or doesn't make sense). This would create a league/playoff atmosphere around the mod and would be VERY helpful in my opinion.

2. Challenge Details are needed for the ladder. Basically, a place to put in the details of the match in question. A few suggestions would be Map Name, Mode, Number of players needed, Date & Time, Notes.

Feature Request: Tournament Add-on

The ability to seed players/teams in the tournament bracket.

Also revert all tournament and ladder templates.

ok progress!! the page isnt blank. it says...

line 1099


(and thats it)


also, how can I move "Competitions" to the top of my double navbar?

[Covert-OPs_]

I am having an issue with the ladder. Basically, two teams played each other and one of them reported the results. However, the ladder is not updating the results on the ranking page. What can I do?

[fattony69]

It would be awesome for a double elimination bracket allowing winners and losers brackets.

Thanks, for the effort you have taken, I'll include the html improvements in the ext version.

I've fixed the longest win streak error and it will be released with the next version

The limit is for Single Elimination as the script only caters for 32 players.
