Have a look in the zip at the readme files.

Is there a way to feed the brackets only into an external webpage, e/g Wiki? or Forum page.

Also anyway to make Hall of Fame show top team rather than just players?

Hi BananaLive

Am having some problems i cannot seem to set the boxes the same way you have it in this picture the announcment is only scrolling bar on the top is there a way to make it the same as you have it here

i have tried to set them from the front page and couldn't manage to fix it can you help me thanks

Forum is :here

Every time I try to change either tmnt_ladder_display or tmnt_ladder_chll templates, there may be others I get " The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:
Could not find phrase 'too_many_attributes'.
This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish. "

I mean all I want to do is change a few or your images to a different text. In the code below, in the example below I simply type hi before the image tag and it want even save.

I am wondering if your file was imported with an error and there is a new version?

 		<vb:if condition="!$game['flag']"> 
			<a href="ladders.php?do=reportchallenge&amp;id={vb:raw game.id}"> 
  				hi<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/report.gif" border="0" alt="{vb:rawphrase ladder_report_challenge}" /> 
 				<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/report.gif" border="0" alt="{vb:rawphrase ladder_report_challenge}" /> 
 			</a><vb:else /> 
 			<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/redcard.gif" border="0" alt="{vb:rawphrase ladder_reported_challenge}" /> 
 		</vb:if>

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I want to make a few changes to some of the templates.

nm - must have missed it a few posts above

[swiftor]

Is there a way to change the default sort of tournaments? Right now it defaults to "Name", I'd like it to sort by "Status" so that tournaments that are open and need players lists first.

Would be cool if that was color coded or broken down by section.

[KGodel]

There still seems to be some built in maximum number of participants in certain tournament types which we are unable to change? For example, it says "8" is the max players for double elimination. For a tournament that may have many more, is there a way to change this, or is it a limitation of the coding? Really nice system but if the limits are soo small it seems that using an outside bracket system would be better.
