Open tournament.php find:

Replace with:

$score = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'score', TYPE_INT);

If that still doesnt work:

Open tournament.php find:

$score = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'score', TYPE_INT);

Replace with:

$score = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'score', TYPE_STR);

Did you try inputting new score with file edits? (It wont alter the score already inputted only what is allowed to be stored in database)

Yes sir.

I found something, although this is something from outside the addon.

Basicly i have this news slider on the frontpage of my site (1st screen). This takes images from specified forums (In this case: News and Announcements). However, when i go to Tournaments, 1 of the slides shows up above the tournaments (2nd screen). Does this addon pulls stuff from other templates which might affect this?

Sorry i forgot to change the database. Import attached product and it should work (fingers crossed)

Someone had problem like this before and they resolved it by reverting their Forum Tournament templates.

I can't revert them as i haven't modified them. But i don't understand why it would appear there in the first place. I'll just go and try some stuff, hoping i can get it to make it disappear.

EDIT: What does $html do?

Oh ok, it shouldn't appear. What is the product hack which is causing the issues (I'll have a look for conflicts as well)

$html is the variable containing all the page data before it gets parsed

[john102774]

wooohoooo!!!!!!!!!!!

It works!!!

Bananalive for Presidente!!!

Thank you.

How can I change the Tournament Results titling "Score" to something else like "Lap Time"?
