That could be an option (YES/NO).


I like to be in control of my tourneys.

Nice you added the ability to remove people from your team. I see the team logo added.

You need to add the ability to add teams to a tournament that is created for teams. Set a dropdown listing all available teams that exist.

So far it all works.

Wish List:
-------------

- Additional Tournament Types (can never have enough)
- Printable Brackets
- Round score tracking
- Sign Up Fees (through subscriptions?)

I'm willing to pay to get a couple very specific additions done, anyone Interested (author first)?

[VGPelega]

One thing I wanted to ask/request(regarding the teams):

The team logos, can they be locked to maximum size/automatically scaled down?
(even better adding an admin set size - Or for better wording "Recommended size")

I have been testing it, and tried to add an image of 400x400, and all I get is an error (error uploading team logo) and I also get the following error:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(images/teamlogos/d515ba8a0d6713bfcc7100fbcdf6d4f3.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in [path]/tournament.php on line 2519

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpObhSCT' to 'images/teamlogos/d515ba8a0d6713bfcc7100fbcdf6d4f3.jpg' in [path]/tournament.php on line 2519

(edit to the above error - CHMOD teamlogos to 777 and it worked a treat)

I run a growing website, and personally don't want members adding a wallpaper sized logo for their clan/team.

I also think their needs to be an "Upload" button as well, so after browsing to an image, they can upload, or then get the error message, instead of just the edit profile option?

Just my thoughts.

[Queball_Beast]

Sorry I misread the readme txt.

It`s not the teamlogos folder that has be CHMOD 777 but it is just the index.html file.
CHMOD 777 teamlogos/index.html

Thanks

I am on a Shared Server and Have had many issues with phishing files in the past, I cannot have any CHMOD 777 folder in my directories

Thanks :up:

Yes i am willing to pay also for some custom work, see how this turns out.

[TNCclubman]

can this be used for poker tournaments. Say a new 10 person tournament every 2 weeks. To keep track of the points accumulated over the course of the year. Example
1st-10 points
2nd-8 points
3rd-6 points
4th-5
5th-4
6th-3
7th-2
8th-1 point

also keep track of total wins, leaderboard of top 10, Leaderboard of PPG (points divided games played)

That would probably be better suited with bananalive's ladder mod (link in his sig), rather than the tournament mod. The way he currently has it, it uses a fixed amount of points, rather than the ELO rating system, so the current version should work really similar to the example you just provided.

I was wondering, if you have the variable $html, are you able to change it to something else? Like $htmlts? Because else this addon requests stuff from different addons.

EDIT: Tried it, seems to work, now i can finally use this beast addon
