Thanks banana that was a great help.

It won't allow me to add a ladder. After I fill in all the fields, it just returns you to the ladders page.

I've verified that it works with v2.8.4. upgrade and then test if it works.

Hi, how do i upgrade?

I uploaded the files via ftp(overright), and imported the xml, but didn't went well...

I'm running a translated v2.8.3 to "Português-BR" that i changed myself, when i change the language part of the new file, the left menu side becomes empty, does the new language part inside the xml file contain new or changed variables?

[H3C x Nevz]

Thank you so much for your dedication to this mod. It really works amazingly. I'd definitely like to see a double-elimination tournament set up for the future, and the My Teams page sounds good too.

country, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Did you allow product overwrite when importing product file?

Did you get an error?

If you get the error 'No file uploaded or selected', then try again.

No there are no new phrases.

Check forum which you have selected in Tournament & Ladder Options.


Then check your usergroup permissions for viewing that forum.

Also check if you browse through forums whether you can access thread/ forum.

I'm not sure if it is supposed to work this way or not, but i never noticed until now that on the team pages there is a place to put your team website, but it links to.. www.domain.com/forum/www.clansite.com

Am i supposed to put a social group linik in there instead of an actual clan website, or is there something wrong.?
Also what is "Team Gamertag"..?



PS. is there an easy way to change the skin for the tourney (competition.php) section.

Thanks
