Not directly a mod problem but a skin one i guess, but for some reason the 'tournament' link in the nav bar doesnt render quite correctly....notice the color bleeds into the bottom half of the bar, where as the other links do not. Any ideas how to fix that? I guess the a style template needs tweaking or something



EDIT: I found the style manager > edit template > header, but there is nothing in there for the 'Tournaments' link, so I guess thats getting added by some other method

[Shinden]

hey, great mod !!
i have just one little problem :
a tournament started because the playerlimit was reached, so i cant change the playerlimit ( i accidently had it set too low ) and tournament type ( from lms to singe elimitination ) anymore, since its already "in progress".
is there a way to solve this, or do i have to create a new tournament now ?

and if so, is there a way for me to manually add teams to it so i wont have to wait for everyone to re-join ?

thanks in advance

[Jaxel]

Hmm... pretty much everywhere...

private.php?do=showpm: Uncached templates: tmnt_postbit (1)

I DONT use "show stats in postbit", why is it even calling the template?

competitions.php?do=rules: Uncached templates: bbcode_code (1)

competitions.php?do=swapplayer: Uncached templates: tmnt_swapplayer (1)

competitions.php?do=editrules: Uncached templates: tmnt_editrules (1)

Also... do you plan on expanding the TOP MENU? I would rather use that, but there is way too much missing from it.

Thank you so much. I'm still trying to grasp it all.

Can I request something new for the "Show Stats in Postbit" feature? Can we have ranks based on the ladders? Maybe look at their ladder scores, take the highest of all their scores, and then display the ranking? When a person's ladder score is updated, it should compare their new score, with their other ladder scores, and then take the highest score and extract the determined rank. Then place the rank in the User's table; to be displayed in the postbit and userinfo pages.

I use the Go/Shogi rankings on my forums...

• Unranked - 0-99
• 20 Kyu - 100-199
• 19 Kyu - 200-299
• 18 Kyu - 300-399
• 17 Kyu - 400-499
• 16 Kyu - 500-599
• 15 Kyu - 600-699
• 14 Kyu - 700-799
• 13 Kyu - 800-899
• 12 Kyu - 900-999
• 11 Kyu - 1000-1099
• 10 Kyu - 1100-1199
• 9 Kyu - 1200-1299
• 8 Kyu - 1300-1399
• 7 Kyu - 1400-1499
• 6 Kyu - 1500-1599
• 5 Kyu - 1600-1699
• 4 Kyu - 1700-1799
• 3 Kyu - 1800-1899

First off, BananaLive, looks good so far. I installed this in my forums yesterday and some of the higher ranking members of the site have been testing this out. I noticed something this morning that if I use the Tournament Tools menu option to "PM me the Details" on an existing Tournament (either one that I created or otherwise), I get a vBulletin error message saying

The following users were not found:
1. 35

I looked it up and my user ID on the site is 35...

It looks like I'm using ver 2.7.4 Probably just a syntax error or something

[MotMann]

Wonderful ... I'm still waiting for that. Ist there a german Translation?

[WNxWakko]

The fetch userid when you attempt to add a player to a tournament is no longer working for me. It worked when I was on 2.6.9 and then recently upgraded to the most current 2.7.4. Any ideas? When you click the button, it does absolutly nothing. its like the button has no function at all.

Hi Bannalive,

Good work so far on this modification. I am running a FIFA rankings website and need a good script something abit like this.

I was just wondering could you remove the accept challenges and challange a player parts from the script as they are not any use to me and only cause players more time to enter scores and play.

Is there any chance you could make it so the admin creates the fixtures and then the players enter the scores themselves ?

Cheers
