Hi I like this mod however I get this error when I import the xml file.

vBulletin Message:
"No file uploaded and no local file found."

I did upload all 4 files as instructed to my forums folder. And put import as ./includes/xml/product-tournament2008.xml

and yet still doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong?

[Chris11987]

I have a suggestion of maybe seperating the tournaments and ladders. While the same team form one can be used for the, they are still two very different things, in terms of competition on a forum. For the url's sake, having tournaments.php and ladders.php.

Also having a navbar/quicklinks option for "Ladders" as well, like how "Tournaments" has.

edit: I also have a question: For the slots in the tournament, how are they determined? When people sign up, are they just given a random 9-digit number, and then the slots go in order of those numbers assigned? If I want to change slots for people, I currently have to manually edit ther user ID and name fields in phpmyadmin, but would it be easier to just change the slot number to any number that would be, say the lowest, in order to get them in slot #1?

for people that are still getting the follow error when creating a new tournament
Warning: Wrong parameter count for str_replace() in [path]\tournament.php on line 642
it already been posted howto fix it by BananaLive


Find in tournament.php

PHP Code:

            $hour = str_replace(".5", "", $hour, $count);
            if ($count == 1) { 


Replace with

PHP Code:

            $hourb = str_replace(".5", "", $hour);
            if ($hourb != $hour) { 


thats what i did and it worked fine

Bug & Suggestion

Bug: Well i think its a bug. there is no way to delete any of your Announcements
Suggestion: In the ladder it be good if you can added ladders for teams as well
because atm only players can signup and not teams
So it be good if when you create a ladder you can pick for teams or players (1v1)

[Chris11987]

I think (and hope) the teams for ladders suggestion is going to be added in the future, as I'm guessing it was part of the reason for them to be combined in the first place.

I'm Running vb 3.5.8 can I install this mod on this version?

I can update to anything higher than that because my php does not meet minimim req

so I installed it and I get database error

whenever I hit the url

www.fifamexico.net/foros/tournament.php

any ideas?

Here's my issue... I installed the ladder mod before this.. then downloaded this and tried installing it.. it failed the install because of duplicate column names when trying to make them in the tables.. now I can't install it at all because it made other columns in the tables and the script isn't set to overwrite them if already exists or skip if already exists.. so if anyone could help me with this that would be great.. can't uninstall it either to reverse the database modifications because it never actually installed..

This is the EXACT Issue I had 2 days ago. I opened up the XML file and a blank wordpad document. Copy all of the install codes down into the wordpad document, making sure to make the proper adjustments for it to be entered as an SQL Query. Once you have all of them, copy the entire thing and enter the query. It should write whatever is missing, and since you will have all tables/fields after that, it will be able to uninstall in the AdminCP. Or you can do it all in pieces, instead of at once.

For some reason after doing that, I had an issue with a table called "tournaments" which was actually from the ibProArcade, which I just deleted and solved.
