Thank you for this info and I look forward to the update.

As for editing the vbphrase " tmnts " I do not want to edit all the phrases for Tournaments, I only want the name on the navbar to change from Tournaments to whatever I decide.


Cant wait to see this as Mod of the Month

Thanks again

Any problems post below

Updated to 2.4.6 and above problem still persists !?

[VGPelega]

I was just looking at this new install, and the new announcements part.

I assume that anyone can post an announcement, as I can't see any settings in ACP, for usergroup permissions, or in the tournaments options.

Am I just being silly here, but shouldn't this be usergroup controlled?

Upon testing, I also only see an edit option after an announcement is posted, any chance of a "delete" button in there?? (bit cheeky of me, but it would be handy for a lot of people I reckon.)

I see a tournament with brackets in one of your screenshots. Where do I go to view this in the install?

After a tournament is filled and has started, the brackets will display.

Update: I'm still getting this error:

Warning: Wrong parameter count for str_replace() in [path]\tournament.php on line 642

Only when creating a new tournament.

Aslo, the Coding is messed up when creating a tournament, it's not aligned like it was before, now it's all linear..

screenshot below on this link:

Any possible fixes for the above?

PS. This is in IE7. In FireFox it works/looks fine.

and a big THANK YOU! for developing this script! it's awsome!
Voted for MOTM, Will also be donating shortly.
