So i guess it got uploaded automatically.. when i uploaded all the ".php" files.?
Because the images are working fine now.

[mozik]

Are you going to make it so we can edit our rosters and team leaders and can edit them. Like remove and invite people by username?

Maybe a button to get to your team.

And for challenges maybe have them so for each ladder they are separate, not just one list.

That would be cool.

Or is there any specific PHP settings that the mod requires to install? A few options in my php are turned off..

Would any of these be limiting it banana so that it couldn't finish installing? I don't see why it's the only mod that just sits there and doesn't install through th product manager for me, anything else will.

It seems that it does do the database edits, just doesn't do any template edits or add the permission settings into my vbulletin... the database edits are done and it just stops after that..

Hello,

WOndering if you could create a page for results of previous tournaments
Set it in rows like they are but who won what and when.

I get this message once ive created a tournament:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 46080 bytes) in /home/sites/mysite.com/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions.php on line 936

I've been getting this problem for over a month now, anyone know whats a matter?

[honcho]

brilliant way of doing online gamming turnies though thanx big time for this

[OMGNOWAI]

Okay I can edit the usergroup permissions but the link isn't showing up on the index I gave my group full permissions and even when I go to competition.php manually it says I don't have the privilege.

[Mr.Fix]

Hey bananalive, appriciate alot for this really good mod!

Everything seems to be working fine for me except for one thing. After you add a single elimination ladder with teams not players, when it creates a topic on the forums, instead of No. of teams it still shows No Players: even though it is a team elimination not players.

[WNxWakko]

Edit - Nevermind. Resolved. Good mod!

I've got very little experience with servers so I cannot tell you if it is a setting stopping you installing but this might work if its problem with usergroup permissions

Open product-tournament2008.xml

Find

PHP Code:

        <code version="2.5.1">
            <installcode><![CDATA[$db->hide_errors();
$vbulletin->db->query_write("ALTER TABLE ". TABLE_PREFIX ."usergroup ADD tournamentpermissions INT(10) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;");
$vbulletin->db->query_write("ALTER TABLE ". TABLE_PREFIX ."usergroup ADD ladderpermissions INT(10) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;");
$vbulletin->db->query_write("ALTER TABLE ". TABLE_PREFIX ."usergroup ADD maxteams INT(10) DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL ;");
]]></installcode>
            <uninstallcode><![CDATA[$db->hide_errors();
$vbulletin->db->query_write("ALTER TABLE ". TABLE_PREFIX ."usergroup DROP COLUMN maxteams;");]]></uninstallcode>
        </code> 


Replace with

PHP Code:

        <code version="2.5.1">
            <installcode><![CDATA[$db->hide_errors();
$arraya = array();
$results = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SHOW COLUMNS FROM ". TABLE_PREFIX ."usergroup");
while($column = $db->fetch_array($results)){
$field = $column['Field'];
$arraya = array_merge((array)$field, $arraya);
}
if (!in_array("tournamentpermissions", $arraya)) {
$vbulletin->db->query_write("ALTER TABLE ". TABLE_PREFIX ."usergroup ADD tournamentpermissions INT(10) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;");
}
if (!in_array("ladderpermissions", $arraya)) {
$vbulletin->db->query_write("ALTER TABLE ". TABLE_PREFIX ."usergroup ADD ladderpermissions INT(10) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;");
}
if (!in_array("maxteams", $arraya)) {
$vbulletin->db->query_write("ALTER TABLE ". TABLE_PREFIX ."usergroup ADD maxteams INT(10) DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL ;");
}
]]></installcode>
            <uninstallcode><![CDATA[$db->hide_errors();
$vbulletin->db->query_write("ALTER TABLE ". TABLE_PREFIX ."usergroup DROP COLUMN maxteams;");]]></uninstallcode>
