Is the visual (flow chart type) ladder created when the tournament starts? So far I just see a team list of those that have joined but the tournament has not started yet.

Also, when you upload a team logo where is this supposed to be displayed? I uploaded one to my team but I don't see it anywhere.

[Gamelobby]

The logo appears in the "team stats", but on mine it cuts off half of the image. (right half of image is off the page)

I have the 2.62 installed here

and have added a few test ladders and tournaments.
When trying to view a test team profile I get the following error message :

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/competitions.php on line 2987

any ideas ???

Hey banana, just a quick note - I haven't came back to check on the mod for awhile and there's a really big reason to it.

EVERY new version always seem to have some problems so I always want to wait for the next patch before installing them.

Bottom line is, maybe try to check your work a bit more before releasing versions (or get some volunteer testers). All the new version bugs scares me away.

I think you should stick to bigger and sturdy releases instead of tossing out small (and deadly) patches every other day.

Don't mean any offense, I still thank you for this useful mod, but lines I quoted above are way too common for me to try the newer versions.

Thanks for understanding.

How do you remove
Tournaments Joined: 10
Tournament Wins: 2
these fields from a user's post?

This mod rocks btw.

In the tournament options near the bottom there is an option to turn 'Stats in Postbit' on or off

This always happens to me too. I still have that very old 2.2.1 version installed. Every time there is a new version many people complain about database errors so I'm too afraid to upgrade. The 2.2.1 works perfectly for me now, but I really need some features (like the teams etc) so I want to upgrade.


I can't afford to lose any of my tournament data, it would be a killer for me, since the tounaments can't be reproduced.


And I have no experience of phpmyadmin or stuff like that.

Your data will not be lost at all, just follow the install notes and you will be fine i have active tournaments and i have upgraded with no issue's or lose of data.

chill and have some faith in your self and this hack :up:

I have redone the whole thing and now there is no option for team leaders to add users to their team? I am confused.

[valendono]

Team Members (3) but the members is 4 id, why not counted because 1 user added by Admin ? And also about the future team swap not just user swap pls.. Thanks.
