P.S: also there are words doesn't have phrases lang like " Team Statistics" i got to hard translate it from the mod

still this is one of the greatest mods gonna use as a mean feature for my forum

thank you bananalive ^^

The member's team info way not in an array. Don't worry, it won't have affected anything.

And i am gradually finding the remaining hard coded text and making it into phrases.

Is it or can you do a mod for vBadvanced?
For example: mod which will display the first 5 places in ladder (Ladder Leaders) or Last Scores etc.

I haven't and I don't think anyone has done one and released it. But if you go to vBadvanced website then there is a really simple tutorial to follow to create a custom module.

i have a suggestion what about having a little forum built into the tourney system just for everything tourney related for convience.

I noticed that there was an option to select a category, but have yet to find where we add/edit categories..?

There are three ways to Create New Categories:

• In left navigation menu under Admin
• Or under New in top navigation
• Manage Categories (competitions.php?do=categories) then at bottom click New Category

Is there a way to make a ladder private, or so that only the Administrator or someone with the permission can keep a ladder upgraded?

I need it so that only my staff can upgrade certain ladders to keep the integrity intact.

Not really but you could try this:

If you close a ladder then you/ your staff could use 'Admin Add Challenge' and then 'Admin Insert Score' to manage ladder.
