What I'm attempting to do is make the gaming league a completely separate entity from the main style with the forums of the gaming league having their own style.

My question is, can I set a specific style for competitions.php and all pages of the plugin?

I tried the adding a plugin and hook method but that created a fatal memory error.

Was curious if you have any suggestions to force a specific style ID for it?

Didn't see an option anywhere and I've skimmed a few dozen pages of this thread. Not finding anything.

Sure, try this mod, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=313767

It is not by php page, but the THIS_SCRIPT value of the page.

Thanks! That works perfectly!

Perhaps a feature recommendation for the tournaments plugin would be to make it possible for styles other than the default to be set.

If you would like to see the result, which is still a work in progress check out www.epicmegaboard.com and click on Gaming League to see the change.

Did you try the mod I recommended above to set the style?

Hey,

Is there any way to auto collapse the side menus. They all load open at present and it looks a bit messy, would look nicer auto closed...

Any way to do this please ?

[ReMarkable1991]

Do you think adjusting the amount of players/teams that play in a tournament is adjustable(in the future). For example there are games that are 1v1v1v1, ladder would be hard(not impossible) since you need 4 people to accept the same challenge.

However even only for tournaments it would be great. Now I do the 4 that are in 1 "Bunble" play together but would be more professional if they can be in the same bracket.

I installed that updated version, now when I lock a team, its' team leader cannot add or remove players from his team. However, the team leader can still change the "Team Members Nicknames" on the "Edit Team" (pencil button) section. That must be locked as well.

Can you help us with that?

It should remember using cookies when the user closes it.
