I know there was a fix for this...

Fatal error: Call to undefined function cal_days_in_month() in /var/home/diabloforums/public_html/tournaments.php on line 921

...on Bananlive's forum but the forum is now down. Anyone know/remember what edits to make as I can't recompile php to get this to work and get past this error.

Thanks in advance!

Perhaps I missed this in the features list, but is there any way for me to lock a tournament to prevent users from signing up?

Hi guys,
this hack is very cool!
But I have a question:

How to Install the Italian language?
I have the .xml file, but I don't know how to install.

Sorry for my bad english, I'm italian. :-)

Will this be updated for new 4.0 VB version?

[mgurain]

Hi,
an idea:
Could you add types of games ? like :
- multiple choice questions
where whoever (players) chooses the correct answer first will step up, until one finished the ladder first.
questions are chosen randomly from a database based on a category of questions.
??
Thanks,,

[swiftor]

Sorry about that, wrong thread!

Really looking forward to having this for 4.0. If I can do anything to encourage the update by supporting you (bananalive) let me know.

bananalive hasnt been on since Oct 4th. Is it possible for anyone else to make a similiar Tournament/Ladder system for vb4? If so that would be great. I would even help donate if you made it.

I would too!

I need a simple calculation system for our Poker League.... We have games all over the place on different web sites...

We want to rate the top 10 players and give each one points...

10th 10
9th 20
8th 30

Etc... Etc...

Accumulative with special tournaments available for the top 50 or top 100 people...

I would contribute to something like this...

If any one can see this please let us know...

THANKS!

The Collector
