Updated it to the latest version v2.3.9 (VB 3.7.3) php4 , when I go into usergroups and click on "save" I get this error, without making any changes or enabling tournanment permissions.

If I disable the product, I am able to save other non-tournanment settings without db error message under Usergroups.

`tournamentpermissions` = '1023',
`maxteams` = '1'
WHERE usergroupid=6;

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'tournamentpermissions' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

Still the same problem. any suggestions?

I upgraded this to the latest version, but i now get a total blank page. Any idea what is causing this? I did everything correctly: Uploaded the files (And overwrited), and Imported the product (Also overwrited).

[Chris11987]

Perhaps the drop-down menu on "Tournaments" can be rid of, since all of the options revealed are on the side menu right next to it now.

The current version is broken and does not allow creation of teams, banana says he will have the patch up 'hopefully' tomorrow

[jlew24asu]

LOL ok maybe I am just doing this wrong. my permissions (for me as admin) are all set to yes. when I click ADD for a new tourney, a BLANK white page loads.

this is happening on 2 of my forums. I know I'm not crazy and I know this mod works..what am I doing wrong?

Thanks, for all your donations they are much appreciated.

If you are getting a blank page check the url for adding a tournament it should be http://www.yourforum.com/tournament.php?do=add (all lower case letters)

@wastemytime I will provide fixes for problems as they are found which will be released with the modification's next release. This includes making the modification compatible with PHP 4

@KHALIK I think i have found 'error' in bitfields, it will be includded in next release (if you do still get error just post back here)

@Shop I'll make the side navigation an option in vBulletin options for those with fixed forum widths or forum menu of left.

Checked it, but it's still blank, also on the tournament.php page itself.
