I'm looking to run a motorsports racing season. Would there be a way to alter this to run, say a 16 race season for 12 people allowing for points to be awarded?

Per your PM Anne, this is what the information in the readme.txt was referring to when it said "click install"



Top right of the mods info is the little mod "menu" so simply click on "Mark as Installed" so the modification creator receives "credit" for you using their mod .

I am getting the following error once I go to import the XML file.

Sorry, no XML was passed into this function and the $path variable empty

Where i can add the link in the navbar. It didnt do it automatically.

Well, I'm having a bit of trouble with this one. Forgive me, because I'm not very good with these things.

I can't seem to get the tournament permissions to show up in my "manage usergroups" section. I think it probably has something to do with where I've uploaded things. Right now, I've just uploaded everything to the main directory of my forum.

Does that make sense? Any suggestions on getting this working?

I'm having a problem with the modification. I uploaded all the files and imported the product but none of the sql tables are being created.

I can edit options in vBulletin options and usergroups, but beyond that SQL errors because the tables dont exist.

Invalid SQL:
SELECT id, title FROM tmnt_announcements ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 0, 5;

MySQL Error : Table 'site.tmnt_announcements' doesn't exist

It's not my user permissions because as a test i set up vb to use root to connect to database, and root has the same problem with the tables not being created. Other plugins install (and create tables) with no problem.

Seems to have installed just fine on my vb3.8.x

Was curious if the author was still planning on looking at the features?

I'd toss some real cents at ya for incentive. Thanks very much for your plugin.
