The other mod, is probably using the same php variable $tmntp.

I tried reuploading everything but still I cannot edit the rules.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Use bbcode [rules] in tournament description e.g.

tmnt description blah bah blah

[rules]

then rules here...

Good question!

I am running it on my forum - is there a way of changing the 'Total Points', 'Points Conceded' and 'XP' to something like 'Goals for', 'Goals against' and 'Points'?

I can't see a way of doing it in AdminCP?

Edit phrases in AdminCP

ladder_totalpoints

ladder_pointsagainst

ladder_xp

I tried to install this mod, but after trying to get into the "Competition" I've got this massage:

Database error in vBulletin 4.1.6:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT cats.*, COUNT(DISTINCT tmnts.id) AS counttmnts, COUNT(DISTINCT ladders.id) AS countladders, COUNT(DISTINCT leagues.id) AS countleagues, pcat.title AS categorytitle2, pcat.title AS parenttitle

LEFT JOIN vb_tmnt_categories AS pcat
ON (cats.parentid = pcat.catid)
LEFT OUTER JOIN vb_tmnt_tmnts AS tmnts
ON (cats.catid = tmnts.catid)
LEFT OUTER JOIN vb_tmnt_ladders AS ladders
ON (cats.catid = ladders.catid AND ladders.league = 0)
LEFT OUTER JOIN vb_tmnt_ladders AS leagues
ON (cats.catid = leagues.catid AND leagues.league > 0)
GROUP BY cats.catid
ORDER BY cats.parentid DESC, cats.displayorder ASC, cats.title ASC;

MySQL Error : Table 'wrestlin_forum.vb_tmnt_categories' doesn't exist
Error Number : 1146

Does anyone of you know how to resolve this problem ?

Thanks in advance.
