I'm using 3.7.3 and just did a new install of this hack.

Would you like a screenshot to see what it's doing or are you already familiar with what I'm describing?

Same error/problem.
vb 3.7.3
tournament 2.2.1

Fetch ID I get this error.

also as said, I tried putting tmnt_getuser.php file in web site root (opposed to forum root) and got different error:

<br /><b>Warning</b>: require_once(global.php) [<a href='function.require-once'>function.require-once</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in <b>/home/clantsu/public_html/tmnt_getuser.php</b> on line <b>2</b><br /><br /><b>Fatal error</b>: require_once() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required 'global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in <b>/******/*****/public_html/tmnt_getuser.php</b> on line <b>2</b><br />

any ideas?


only thing that works is manually hunting down the user ID and typing it in. :/

Hello. Installed and very popular!

Now members are asking if we can have social groups as challengers. IT seems like a good thing if it could be done.

How do you delete tournaments and remove players from tournaments?

And why is there nothing in the admin control panel for the tournaments?

[G0F0RBR0KE]

This is indeed a good one. However, to many flawless to it.

Those who creates the tournament should be the only one that proceed the next person to the round base on information by other users. I don't want a staff to moderate a tournament, and they have to process it.

Another flawless is the time. My computer reads 6am, and the forum reads 6am, but the time that the tournament is giving me is 3am.

Icon next to player. <= Removes player from tournament.
There are links at bottom of each tournament to edit, delete or finish (for LMS) them.
Using the admin control panel for adding/editing/removing tournaments would mean that only administrators could control tournaments which not everyone wants.

Times inputted into the tournament system should be in timezone GMT+0 and then they will get converted to your timezone.

Can you put in an option to turn automatic navbar edits off? I have no room for an extra link and need to put it in the Quick Links section.

One question:

How are the pairs generated?

My tournament is now 'Awaiting Players', and there are currently 10 players who have joined. They're showing in the list like this:

1. Mr. X
2. Mr. Y
3. Mr. Z
4. Mr. A
etc..

Are the pairs generated like that, 1vs2, 3vs4, 5vs6 etc.. ? Or will the tournament make some kind of random pairing once the tourney is full?
