[chriskellar]

I've tried that plus doing all the extra edits that continues to display. Is there another way to remove the old product to do a fresh install?

This is the error message I get when trying to uninstall the old product.

Database error in vBulletin 3.7.3:

Invalid SQL:

DROP TABLE vB_tmnt_tmnts;;

MySQL Error   : Unknown table 'vB_tmnt_tmnts'
Error Number  : 1051

If I need to drop the tables manually in phpmyadmin can you tell me which tables I need to remove?

I have Tournament 1.3 and I did have the ladders 1.0 (I believe) but that uninstalled properly but won't reinstall at all.

Thanks can't wait to get this up and running.

Any others that might need to be dropped as well?

There's a COLUMN for the tournaments underneath the "usergroups" table. There might be one under "users" as well. DON'T DELETE THOSE TABLES, only delete the COLUMN INSIDE those tables.

Why uninstall it manually when you can just click uninstall in admincp, which removes all data

[Chris11987]

Fix needed:
- If a team edits their name, and are already entered in a tournament, the tournament bracket doesn't update their new name.

Permissions Suggestions:
- Tournament Options: Option to allow a tournament creator to advance/edit/delete a tournament they start.
- Perhaps a "Co-Leader" rank for teams? Seeing as only the leader can perform many functions, how about another rank that can be given those permissions by the leader. (Maybe all team permissions for that specific team, except for deletion)

Tournament creators' should/ do have full control over their own tournaments.

I have tried to do it before and couldn't find a way. However, I have just thought of a way to do it and I'll add it in the next version.
