xHTML 1.0 errors:

Errors in competitions.php?do=viewteam&id=1 (dublicate ID id="imlinks")

Bugs:

1. When Ladder Description as Tab - Yes bug:

Attachment 128225

Russian language:
Attachment 128226

Maybe when this option is enabled, these buttons are better left in the same place?


2. No panel:

Attachment 128227

Panel
Attachment 127943

1. Fixed in next version

2. Is this just since an upgrade to vbulletin v4.1.3? or did it not show on vbulletin v4.1.2?

got that working now mate thanks, when looking at the teams i get this error:



I have done the template change but still no luck

[betts02]

When adding a new category, It ONLY has options for :

Tournaments
Ladders
Tournaments And ladders

Maybe have the league option added here ?

When i click on "Tournaments" really i only want to see the Tournaments, Same with Ladders and Leagues

What i and i dare say others want is for you to be able to have it so when you click say Ladders, It ONLY shows you what ladders are available
Same with Tournaments and leagues
ONLY active/open events
Maybe have an option for "Archive" so people can see past events and who won,etc

But its coming on great, well done and thanks
I shall keep testing this futher

[champendk]

Would it be possible make this mod run on its own template system so it can be change to different look from the forum?

Maybe its already possible?

Create plugin on hook: global_start with following php code

PHP Code:

if (in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('ajax_competitions','competitions','ladders','tournaments')))
{
$styleid = $vbulletin->userinfo['styleid'] = 3;
} 


Change 3 for appropriate styleid
