Hello.

I would like to first comment on how well this mod is evolving, it is one of my favorite Mods to date.
I also hope to see this as Mod Of The Month so everyone should vote if they have not done so yet..

During the first few weeks this mod was release, I had created few test tournaments, now when I check the Hall of Fame list, those the players added to the test tournament are in the hall of fame, Is there a way or can the ability to edit the Hall of Fame be added?


Thanks

Voted Mod Of The Month :up:

Only way I've found so far to remove the joins and wins from a profile is via myphpadmin. In the user table there's a join and win column. I just went in and reset them to 0 by hand.

I really think a way to do that from the script would be awesome though.

He was referring to fact that he had multiple instances of the "joined/won" section of the profile. I looked a members profile on his site, and saw 4 instances of it on the page.

A "clear player stats" option would be great either in the tourney options in ACP or on user options in ACP.

CHEERS!

suggestion it would be nice to have the ability to display another field other than the username or next to the user name.

I run XBOX 360 leagues and it would be great if I can display the Gamertag on the list.

I was going to ask if this could be done aswell. I know theres an xbox360 mod here on vb.org and would be nice to implement this as an additional feature

this mod is becoming something of a monster. I love it BananaLive!!

This hack is getting better and better, thanks a lot banana

The Challenge PM is not working yet.

It would be great to be able to add rules for each ladder/tournament you add with a link in each ladder/tournament page, also be able to use the VB editor to add the text.

Keep us the great work

Example here

More bugs:

When you add a tournament the player list shows full and does not update.

When hovering over and seeing the javascript, it looks as if the system thinks it is a 3-way fight. I'll show a screenshot:

Thanks will be fixed in next version

Hi forgive me jumping in and asking here but i would need to know something before installing this great looking forum addition. the ladder page...is it possible to change the table ro maybe just display 2 user defined coloums or maybe even 8 user defined coloums?

I was hoping to run a tipster league on it of sorts.

thanks

There are currently two columns - one for username and one for score.

Look for multiple plugins called 'Tournament MemberInfo'.

If you only have one 'Tournament MemberInfo' plugin then open it and change '.=' to '='.

That's an interesting point. I'll add pm option.

Points for Win

I considered those as advanced options and didnt include them in the New Ladder page.

Most modifications will use MYSQL database to store the data.

The tournament details section can be used for rules.

Yes but if you have a long set of rules and other info it just shows on a single line in the details section and looks very messy

Instead the details part should be about the tournament and then the rules should be in the tournament/ladder page.
