Sorry, it refers to the pm'ing of the user you are challenging. Fix below, will be released with next version as well.

Find in tournament.php

PHP Code:

eval('$message = "' . fetch_template('tmnt_tmnt_chalpm') . '";'); 


replace with

PHP Code:

eval('$message = "' . fetch_template('tmnt_ladder_chalpm') . '";');

Very nice!

I like the new layout of the menu and such. Excellent work!

Hope that helps. I use a point range to determine "levels" so users can see how beating a higher ranked team earns then more points and loosing to a lower ranked team, loses them more points.

I'll try out the new version probably next week, as I'm currently running a 256-person tournament (8 Divisions with 32 people each) and don't really want to do any upgrades now.

I have a glitch to report: This only happens in 32 person tournaments. The advancement for the person with the 16th spot is glitch, and it advances them to the bracket of what should be the 17th and 18th person. When hovering over and seeing the javascript, it looks as if the system thinks it is a 3-way fight. I'll show a screenshot:

http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/5...eyerrorzr6.png

As you can see (by the winner spot being all the way to right), I'm showing you the very middle of the 32-person bracket. The guy with the arrow go one bracket below of what he should. This is the case on every 32 person tournament I'm currently running and had happened during testing, but I forgot to report it.

Hi forgive me jumping in and asking here but i would need to know something before installing this great looking forum addition. the ladder page...is it possible to change the table ro maybe just display 2 user defined coloums or maybe even 8 user defined coloums?

I was hoping to run a tipster league on it of sorts.

thanks

Every time I upgrade I get another line of tournament stats info in members profile .. where do I need to edit to remove half a dozen entries of the same information ?

[WNxWakko]

the edit worked thanks.

On thing I find interesting is that you can create a tourny, add a player and then win it without them every agreeing . Shouldnt someone agree to be added? Perhaps PM the when you add a member so they have to come back and agree.

Also it seems you have more options when you edit a ladder than when you create one.
Points for Win
Points for Draw
Points for Lose

It would appear to me that when you are updating you re not allowing overwrite when you upload the new product XML file. I would uninstall the product then reinstall the latest version.

If you are currently running an active tournament, you could backup your DB, then go to your DB, browse the users table, scroll down until you see "tmnt_joins" and "tmnt_wins". Odds are, you have multiple rows with these names. Typically a DB structure will insert new rows underneath existing rows, so if you delete duplicate rows, except for the top ones, you should be good to go.

*If you do access your DB, make sure to back it up before you make any changes!*

I finally was able to upgrade my php and mysql on the server updated my vb 3.7 and the ladder now works fine.

CHEERS!

suggestion it would be nice to have the ability to display another field other than the username or next to the user name.

I run XBOX 360 leagues and it would be great if I can display the Gamertag on the list.
