I second that would be great to control and organise your team invites.

Ok I think I got the hang of this. It was one after another after another removing them until it finally installed.

Ok sweet. Fetch ID works. I can join tournaments, I can add members. I can create teams.

1. How do you delete teams?
2. One bug in teams, when you edit a team that has the ' in the name, it auto adds a / before it in the text box. It will keep adding more // and /// everytime you edit.
3. All my past tourny stats still show in hall of fame even though I uninstalled the mod. Now that is back, there is lingering data. Anyway to delete or clear any of that?

[KHALIK]

How do you delete teams? as someone has created a inappropriate team name.

Can you restrict it to 1 create a team per userid only, rather than having multiple teams created by 1 member/userid.

The most important are these 2 things, especially able to delete teams.

p.s. Disabled create function until, moderators/admins/leaders can able to delete teams.

[WNxWakko]

I think we should have the option to restrict to 1 team. In my case, it would be realistic to have someone running multiple teams.

I found another issue. When I click on the Join Team link of someone elses team, the page refreshes, the join link disappears and it doesnt join me to that team.

I'll be adding option to 'switch' players in next version

I will make that default in next version

I try it. I see on 2.3.7 already space on it. And I upgrade it. still got error messages invalid date.

What I do next is I put print out ..

	echo $day;
	echo '<br />';
	echo $month;
	echo '<br />';
	echo $year;
	$hour = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'time', TYPE_INT);
	$days = cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN, $month, $year);

And I got 0 result..

0
0
0

Warning: cal_days_in_month() [function.cal-days-in-month]: invalid date. in [path]/tournament.php on line 546

and if I remove this

	if ($day > $days OR $day == 0) {
		$errormessage = "Error: Invalid Date";
        eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');
	}

I can create tournament but the date come to 30-11-99 (default ?)

Last I can make tournament normally is 13-09-08. I dont know which version it is.

Any chance to fix it ?

Next ideas:
- integration with vBExperience (medals in postbit)
- switch off/on details in postbit

[OcR Envy]

Teams?! Yay! Clicks install!

Some Bugs:

Could not find phrase ''.

Missing phrase is displayed on all redirect messages?

No way remove the thread option from the details display?

images/buttons/report.gif is not a default image location on a 3.7 install

When selecting "Team" from the options it still only gives 1v1 and LMS as the types. Obviously this options are not correct for team play.

Also my styling is way off when adding/editing a tournament. This could possibly be my custom skin but I'm not sure. All I got for now guess I still need to wait for a few more updates to go live

I'm going to be adding more permissions for editing/ deleting teams. Including team limit per usergroup.

You will not display on that the team list until you have been accepted by leader of the team.

Your create new tournament form is not 'posting' the data properly, hence the variables are just 0. Have you reverted the template tmnt_new?

I'll look into removing it as option in admincp.

images/buttons/report.gif is not a default image location on a 3.7 install

I think it is, it is used for reporting posts. (I have not added any custom images to my board)

When selecting "Team" from the options it still only gives 1v1 and LMS as the types. Obviously this options are not correct for team play.

For team 1v1 you will need to selected type: '1v1' and 'teams', etc.

Also my styling is way off when adding/editing a tournament. This could possibly be my custom skin but I'm not sure. All I got for now guess I still need to wait for a few more updates to go live

I believe I might have used <th> tags accidentally. I'll fix it in next version.

I have redirect messages turned on in vbulletin options, I think this may be causing it.

I stand corrected on the report icon, somehow it's missing from mine.
