[Bestrafung]

I'm having an issue with adding Users to a Team. When I got to the main tournaments page then go to the teams list and click on the desired team the Add User to Team link just redirects back to the main forum home. Has anyone else had this issue or have an idea how to fix it?


Edit: I have discovered that this problem is being caused by Zoints SEO. Any ideas how to make it SEO friendly?

[Bestrafung]

I found the fix. I would recommend everyone apply this as even if you don't use Zoints SEO other products may behave strangely as well. The trick is to just make the link void. This may not be the best way to handle it but it works for us.

edit tmnt_displayteam and change this:

<if condition="$canmanageteams">
			<li class="thead" style="float: right; align: right;" id="addplayer"><a href="#" onclick="toggle_visibility('addplayerdiv');" title="$vbphrase[tmnt_addteammember]">$vbphrase[tmnt_addteammember]</a></li>
			</if>

to this:

<if condition="$canmanageteams">
			<li class="thead" style="float: right; align: right;" id="addplayer"><a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="toggle_visibility('addplayerdiv');" title="$vbphrase[tmnt_addteammember]">$vbphrase[tmnt_addteammember]</a></li>
			</if>

As you can see the change is from href="#" to href="javascript:void(0);"

Hope this helps anyone else with this issue.
