Open template tmnt_results copy into notepad/wordpad

Replace all #000000 with html hex code

Here's few examples...

#FFFFFF = White
#FF0000 = Red
#00FF00 = Green
#0000FF = Blue
#FFFF00 = Yellow
#00FFFF = Aqua Greeny Blue
#FF00FF = Pink
#C0C0C0 = Grey

Hi,

After installing the new Tournaments and Ladder combined the old ladder info and all its players and players stats are gone... there is no ladder unless I create a new one.
is there anyway to call the info from the stand alone ladder into the combined ladder?

Since the Ladder and Tournaments are combined, I tried changing the name appearing in the navbar from Tournaments to ===> Ladders & Tournaments or League.
Members are asking what happened to the Ladder. however after changing the phrase and saving it the name on the navbar does not change.

How can I change the name in navbar from Tournaments to another name?

Thanks

[gorentals]

Just installed new version. Everything working good. 3.7.3

Good job and like the combination.

[gamerscms]

Working all fine, thanks

Would be great to see some rules pages added.
