Currently I have xbox, and PS3 teams all lumped together for FIFA, COD, F1 its starting to look a real mess, added to this I also have International teams for FIFA, normal teams.

Hi there,

Great Mod!

Couple of Q's.

Currently the it allows users to be on multiple teams. Is there a way to restrict this so they can only be on one team at any given time?

Also, if the leader leaves a team, it still remains. Is there a way the leader can either remove the team or assign another users as the 'leader'?

Thanks!

1. AdminCP -> UserGroup Permissions -> {Edit Usergroup} -> Maximum number of teams a user can join

2. Yes, Team creators/leaders can delete their teams. Go to team profile.

3. Yes, Team leaders can promote their team players to co-leader or leader. Click members tab of your team profile page.

You might have needed to rebuild your caches after upgrade, but it's probably sorted itself out, by itself
