Big problem. Tried to install 1.5 with overwrite, sql errors. Took out the portion of the code that was giving me errors, other prts giving me errors. Uninstalled ad tried to reinstall---no go.

Then tried to reinstall 1.3 (the last working copy for me), errors. All are because of duplicate:

Database error in vBulletin 3.7.2:

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE usergroup ADD tournamentpermissions INT(10) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;;

MySQL Error : Duplicate column name 'tournamentpermissions'
Error Number : 1060

What version have you got installed currently?

If its 4.1a, 4.1b or 3.1a
ADMINCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Select 'Edit' in dropdown box and then click Go next to vB Tournament -> Edit Version removing the letter (v1.4a or v1.4b goes to v1.4 and v3.1a goes to v1.3) -> Click Save

Then try uploading v1.5 or v1.6

http://libar-libar.com/libar/vb/tournament.php (test 2) tournament ... you can see grid ... same problem like before (one player added and all is finished)


sorry but wil uninstall product!


regards macc

I've found the error you were talking about, the javascript was redirecting to wrong url and finishing the tournament instead of progressing the player. It will be included with version v1.6 (coming out very soon)

I just want to give bananalive a round of applause for the amount of dedication he's showed this early to the mod. He's been quick to react to everyone's problems, and damn quick to fix them.

Fiddled with it between 1.3 and 1.5 and somehow fixed

Agreed!

Great Additions!
Keep them coming!
MOTM for sure!

Still waiting to "remove players" to go live on my board..
Too many noobs just "joining" for fun or to test it out and no way to get them out!

[mlthmp]

Excellent! I thank you so much for this mod!
Worked perfectly, and leaves me very excited to see where this one goes in the future!

Suggestions for future versions (none of these are very important.. just extras)
The option to not link a player or "team" to a forum member ID.
Less confusing bracket administration process (maybe a space between each macthup when you select a winner)
Brackets on each side of page for 16,32 player brackets.
"Score Field", place to enter a final score for each matchup

Like I said, none of these are major IMO, and this mod is already quite fantastic! I'm sure you already have a test board.. but if you ever needed another "Teastdummy" let me know =)

[Reinhart]

Yeah with Teams and being able to fully control the membership of the tournament by removing or kicking or subbing players.. then Id be good to go!

but seriously.. GREAT FREAKING WORK MAN!
