Great mod, thank you bananalive!!

I have lots of proposal, but first can you do Tournament Stats in Postbit ON/OFF swits in AdminCP next version.

[Strafe]

I managed to comment out the postbit info, but I noticed today it also adds the stats in to member profile page! Would like to see a switch for that as well

But focus on the important things like team vs team and double elimination first

Great mod btw, if you can finish team vs team feature I'm sure you'll see some nice donations coming

Depends on which version you using atm.
tmnt_new, tmnt_edit have been change to allow for timestamps
tmnt_display was changed to allow vbphrases to be displayed
tmnt_list was changed to different design and to add descriptions

I need this mod soon since my tournament is getting full.

Are you installing product-tournaments2008.xml or tournament2008 compatibility v3.6.x.xml?

Instead of relative paths i've changed it to use forum url in vb options.

            <optioncode>yesno</optioncode>
            <defaultvalue>1</defaultvalue>

Ok now it works, but I have an error when I try to import that v.3.6.x xml:

XML Error: Mismatched tag at Line 474

[Stifmeister2]

Btw what is the time thing that you can change when you're creating a new tournament? Some time limit in which people have to join the tournament??

Open it with notepad or wordpad and then...
Try adding line after

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

Its just ornamental really, but it converts into each users timezone (always handy for international tournaments).
