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

Example here

I've added bbcode: [newbox=$1]$2[/newbox] (v2.4.8 +)

Example

Do you plan to add more fixes and stuff through the next days?
I love it but would prefer to install the last version.

by the way 2.4.7 seems to be the downloaded one and you're talking about 2.4.8 (I bet there's just a small delay anyway).

Thanks a lot for your work, my surfers will love that too!

Edit : sorry seeing the 2.4.8 now, installing it, seems it's not so hard to upgrade it later anyway, thanks again!

You lost me with the BB code where would this go?

EDIT: right i understand now, i think you should be more clear where to add this.

You add it into the details area.

Looking great so far here is what i have:

http://www.xboxhive.co.uk/forums/tou...p?do=view&id=5

Any way to change the default icons used in Tournament Details part?

Also when you send a PM out with the new BB code it sends it all the tags in the PM

When I click rules I get this,

Couple of suggestions. I haven't installed the latest releases (I don't want to put the ladder part in until you get the ELO rankings in, or something similar). I read through to see if these had just been put in and didn't see them, so I apologize if I missed them.

On my site we host our official site tournament plus we allow members to host their own tournaments. Would it be possible to allow for some sort of distinction between the two? Maybe allow tournaments that have been marked as official tournaments to show up in bold, and then have links where members can view all official tournaments or view all member tournaments. You could then just add an admin option to allow different usergroups/users to host official tournaments. I hope that makes sense.

Another is to allow team leaders to appoint other team leaders, or maybe team captains or something similar, and also give them the power to enter teams in tournaments and such. Oftentimes teams have multiple leaders, and if there can only be one team leader, and he isn't available for some reason, it would suck for the team to not be able to enter.

Something else to consider here. On the ladder once the challange is over, it pretty much disappears. Shouldnt there be some sort of challangers summary page showing all challanges in progress and completed?

Did you have to put the code in as with regular custom BBcode's? and if so is it limited to the ladder script of can it be used in forum posts? I'm just wondering if that may cause some problems in regaulr forum threads if people use the code?

Same here. I don't see the SQL in the Product file to install the tmnt_rules Row to the DB.
