Initial Log in for Admin is:

Username: Admin
Password: admin123

Be sure to change that to a password you can remember

To update to the 2012 season. Download Nfl_2012_Schedule (attached) and log into your database via phpmyadmin. Upload the file to your database. This will update your schedule for the upcoming 2012 season.

ENJOY!

This project IS modifiable, so if someone want to take on the task of modifying it to conform more to Vbulletin, by all means be my guest. As it is right now, users will have to create another log in.

As far as I know this should work with all Vbulletin 4 versions, but I have no way of testing that.


Change Log:
Updated version 1.1
Now includes product xml. No need for a
template change.

Would you consider taking on a project like this in the paid request section for MLB?

I uploaded the files outside of my forum. I created a separate database following the install instructions of the phpfootball addon.

PHP Pick 'Em

1. Minimum Requirements
 PHP version 4.3 or greater
 MySql version 4.0 or greater

2. Installation Instructions
1. Extract files
2. Create a MySQL database on your web server, as well as a MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.
3. Edit /includes/config.php and update database connection variables accordingly
4. Upload files to your web server
5. Run installer script at http://www.your-domain.com/phppickem/install. The installer will assist you with the rest.

3. Logging In

Log in for the first time with admin / admin123. You may change your password once you are logged in.

I got it uploaded and installed however 2 things,

1 - when I use this link, it like boots me out and takes me str8 back to my forum activity page http://www.leaguesofchampions.com/pickempicks.php

2. I know u explain how to upload schedule, I'm all new to this but does this get uplaoded to the server or upload it via the phpadmin site?

I love this mod, huge sports nut I will be donating once I get it working correctly.

Open the pickempicks.php and look at line 19:

// chdir ('/path/to/your/forums');

Make sure this path is the same path as your forum.

Also - I uploaded the schedule through phpadmin.

I'll try and do it. I'm not much of a coder, but I'm up for a challenge. I'll give it a go.

EDIT: Got most of it done. Working on the exhausting schedule right now. That may take a couple of days. lol I'll upload it when I'm done.

Post your PHP file and Template code here and I'll take a look at it. Just got back from your site and it is looping back to the activity stream for some reason.

Make sure this path is the same path as your forum.

No need to un-comment that unless your file is located outside of the forum directory.

Open pickempicks.php Replace the contents with'

<?php


error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'pickempicks');
define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);


$phrasegroups = array();

$specialtemplates = array();

$globaltemplates = array('pickempicks',
);

$actiontemplates = array();

require_once('./global.php');



$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'Pick Em Picks'));
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);


$pagetitle = 'Pick Em Picks NFL Weekly Picks';


$templater = vB_Template::create('pickempicks');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
print_output($templater->render());

?>

Not exactly sure (it's just not jumping off the page at me) what's wrong with your code, but when I use it, it throws out some errors. So replace the code and see if that works.
