The "Ladder Challenges" link don't report any challenge, could you verify ?

thanks

It's working for me.

The ladder matches get added to Disputed Match list for admins to view.

ok, i think the admin could view all challenges


Could you add in the league a filed in which the admin could insert the date of a round ?

could you order by round the output in the challenges view

Admins can view all challenges using this link:

http://yoursite.com/forums/ladders.php?do=allchallenges

Implemented order by round challenges for next version.

Getting a response reply from the email on premium purchase has taken way to long. Not very good for purchasing a script to receive no reply to email help needed. I sent an email along with multiple screenshots for assistance and no one has answered my need for help. I am not trying to throw anyone under a bus but when there are issues after buying the pro, and the website says if help needed to email them, and no answer comes I get upset and feel that people want to just make money but have no time to assist. You registered to my website bananalive and maybe I can get some help at www.elitebattlezone.com.

Suggestions for improvements:

1. Have the ability to add a background image to player created cards.
2. On paid ladders/tournament have ineligible or eligible icons next to team name. Example: Teams need certain amount of members registered and added to team before they are eligible to participate on ladders/tournaments.
3. Incorporate a crown system for the ladders.
4. Incorporate a rating system for teams and participants.
5. When credits are gifted an email should be sent to gifter and giftee stating what has been gifted.
6. When a participant requests to sell credits a pm sent to admin stating the request to be settle request.
7. Additional percentage values added to select menu in admin options.
8. On PayPal Transaction when sell credits has been processed it does not show a name of who received the sell. It only shows user name when someone buys credits. Can this be corrected to also show user name when selling credits are processed.

I haven't got your email - send it to live.banana [at] gmail [dot] com

1. added to next version

2. you can already set minimum team member limits per ladder/tournament/league

3. what's a crown system?

4. what's the point of rating system?

5. PMs sent on admin gift credits and user gift credits in next version.

7. Additional % for which option? Added some for credits vb options

8. What page are you looking at? Credit sales request table shows usernames

Hi there,

1. Are you please able to confirm if this will be available in any future releases?

2. Do you maintain a change log for each version release?

3. Can you implement the ability to have multiple rules on the system. Currently there only appears to be the one section. Having them separated would be ideal.

cheers

That's awkward as you registered to my website username johnie42 on May 4, 2012 using that email. IP Address goes to York, Great Britain. Non the less I sent you the email once again. Hope to here from you for some assistance!

1. Crown System: Similar to what GameBattles use to do back in the day, and what eliteladders.com has in their scripts. It allows participants on ladders to challenge for the crown. First team signed up on a ladder usually is given the crown, and they must defend it, and win each challenge to keep it. If they lose the team that beats them is new crown holder, and they get challenged. It may give the ladder more activity because a team has something to go after.

2. I did not mean team limits to be on a ladder. What I meant was set the amount of team members needed per team before that team can join a ladder. Example: A ladder is set up for a 12 vs. 12 style matches. A team can not join until they have reached at least 12 members on that team.

3. Rating System: May allow for ladder matches to be rated based on team or single participant review. A higher rating lets other participants see that a challenge to that player may actually be played where as a low rating the match may be void because they do not accept challenges, or just plain bad sportsmanship.

4. % for Credits: Example is that forum keeps % for challenges and tournaments. % jumps from 10% to 15%. Can there be 12% between those to stay competitive with other sites that have % lower than 15% but higher than 10%. Also can there be a % retained for payout rather then a flat fee.

5. When looking at PayPal Transactions it shows the forum username of the member that purchases credits along with other statistics. When a user sells credits and is redeemed by admin it does not show the name in PayPal Transactions. I also noticed on all redeemed sells of credits the Site Ref on all of them is _1. Is that suppose to be _1 for all different PayPal sell transactions?

Hey i need a few things done as my halo website is really going to be big in tournaments.

1. If someone wants you in there team and click add member to team, they don't automatically get put in the team.

2. Allow me to put some sort of generator so it chooses maps for the game the tournaments for, e.g map1= Arkaden CTF map2= Dome SnD, Map3= bootleg CTF( This is COD )

3. Also a more advanced reporting system, instead of it just saying " i lost" could we make it i am reporting, i won,lost, and then the actual scores e.g 2-1 1-1 2-0.


If you could do this i would be more than happy as this is really important!
Thanks

Bananalive,

When joining a ladder that costs 10 credits it does not take the credits from the participant that joins. On same ladder set for 2 credits each challenge when a challenge is made it shows in Your Credits twice -2.00 for the same challenge. Attached image for review. I also attached image showing my total credits. My ladder process. When does the 10 credits get removed from my credits for joining the ladder? Attached image for review.

1. Gift myself and 1 other member 20 credits.
2. Joined a 10 credit ladder
3. Made one 2 credit challenge
4. My Credits 21.52 which I earned 1.52 credits from my challenge win.

In the next attachment for Credit Transactions you will see my gift to myself and to Member Host for 20 credits. You will see -10.00 twice each for myself joining a ladder, and Member Host joining but does not show names. You will see my challenge which takes 2 from me and 2 from Member host. Last is payout which I get back my 2 plus what I won minus form fee. Is it suppose to show names of users that join ladders?

Other User's Credits: I have attached image which shows current credit amounts. You will see that the 10 credits to join ladder was not removed and I am not sure when it does get removed. Does it get removed once ladder closes? Seems as thou once credits are needed to join a ladder they are removed right then, and those credits belong to forum for either prize payout, or just ladder participation.

Forum Credits Profits: Attached is image showing profit in credits to the forum which is 20.48 credits. I would imagine the 20 is from each 2 participants paying 10 each to join ladder and .48 was fee earned based on the 1 challenge. If this is correct might there be an error or bug in not taking the 10 credits once they join the ladder for which credits are needed to join?

Live Match Finder: I have enabled the Live Match Finder for my account and based on attached image works fine while looking at it in the ladder/tournament script. However when using the widget for Live Match Finder it stats "No players have enabled Live Match." image attached. Could there be a bug in something?

I also enjoy the 5.1.8 improvements.

One last thing and that is with the addition of background image for Player Cards. Is there a certain size in the script that the image is restricted to as I made a player card 460 x 100, and added image for background of same size and it was minimized in the center of the player card with my selected background color showing top, bottom, and side-to-side?

Keep up the great work!!! Waiting for your reply!!!

1. I will increase tournament numbers for round robin (32) and double round robin (16) in v5.2.0

2. Version change log is now on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BananaLive..../2012?filter=1

3. You can set rules per tournament/ladder use bb code [rules]

I don't know why you are trying to be rude/malicious and provoke a response.. but you won't get one!

If you set minimum team levels for ladder, then teams below (e.g.12) won't be able to join the ladder until they have 12 players joined onto their team. Click edit ladder -> min/max team members

Additional % have been added to vbulletin options in latest version.

I've added username into paypal "item_name" and "invoice" has been corrected for v5.2.0+.
e.g. "Credits: username"

v5.2.0
- increased round robin and double round robin tournament numbers
- round robin results re-design
- bug fix for round robin 16 players algorithm
- paypal item_name/invoice changed
- minor bug fixes

Nothing has been meant to be rude or malicious. I am just real and do not live in a glass bubble. You said you did not get my email which was ironic as you or someone with access to your email account to activate registration registered when I sent it. Based on the registration I just find it odd that you stated you did not get it so how could you have known about my website to register there. Then after the fact of some replies here that user visited again today shortly after my post here. I can understand being busy and even living across the pond 5 to 6 hours ahead of my time zone. Again; none the less, and thank you for the response. It is all gravy, just keep up the great work. My community has been enjoying this mod now for about 2 years.

In the Ticket System there are fields that can have text entered into. Attached image and when looking at the ticket after it has been submitted it does not mention any of the information added to the text fields. Is the information that is entered in those text fields suppose to show up in the ticket for the staff to see what was wrong? I created a basic support ticket, filled in all text fields, and don't see any of the information. I have concerns as to if a ticket is created that is basic like my example that just says "Please Help", we would prolong the time to resolve the issue as we have to ask them what they need help with. If the text fields information would populate in the ticket we would see and could start to work on a resolution. Nice update with 5.2.0.

Not sure if you addressed my question about the forum username not populating under User section of Credit Transaction when they join a ladder. I joined with my name and another name again and it still not take the 10 credits from my credits nor the other persons. See attached image. I am going to test a tournament now!

I have tested the Tournaments and the usernames where populated in the User section for Credit Transactions, and the 10 credits where taken from each of the 2 accounts. There may be a bug with the ladders as per the above reply image and the image I have attached for this reply. Let me know when updated so I can do some further testing, thank you.

Update:

I created a Team Ladder and joined it for 10 credits with my Team. It now shows in the Credits Transactions my Team paying 10 credits to join ladder. Attached image for viewing. I think the only bug is with the single player joining a player ladder.

Update 2:

So I had a challenge on the Team Ladder and settled it all out. Now on the Credit Transaction page it shows some names in the Description area that look to be forum users, but they have nothing to do with the teams that are listed. They are not members of neither team. This may be another bug and I have attached image.

Here are a few more suggestions that would be a nice addition to premium addition.

1. Allowed Declines Per Week: The number of challenges a participant may decline/ignore in a 7 day period without being penalized.

2. Challenge Point/Rung Restriction: The number of Rungs, or Points, that a participant must be within to challenge another participant.

3. Randomly Generated Maps: This would allow for a challenge to be made that would utilize 1, 2, or 3 maps for the challenge. Highly sought after by shooting games that have map specific wars. Could be script controlled with a text file that could be edited by admin to include the maps.

4. Accept Timeframe Hours: The number of hours allowed to accept a challenge - failure to respond inside this timeframe will result in the system processing it as an 'Ignore'.

5. Staff and Prizes Tabs: In addition to each tab already associated with a ladder such as Rankings, Recent Matches, Upcoming Matches, etc can there be Prizes and Staff tabs added. Prizes could be a customizable blank page that would allow HTML and could be created by administrator. Staff could display certain staff members that are associated with that particular ladder to answer questions and be the go to person by participants.

6. Winning Streak/Losing Streak Icons: Have in the rankings little icons that represent a winning and/or losing streak. It could be hoverable which would show the streak count.

7. Team Captains Tab: Have a separate tab for Team Captains.

8. Team Member Avatar: Allow for user avatar to display next to name in Team Members tab.

9. Members From: Have a Members From section in the About Team page. This could have a profile field created where a member could have a small icon flag for country which would populate in the Members From section. This could show 5 small flag icons that are used the most by team members.

10. Battle Light: This could be called anything but it would be an icon that would indicate to anyone looking to challenge if other teams are accepting at the time. This may help to avoid low activity as challenges will only be made against those that are accepting challenges. Could be similar to the online/offline icon! It should be either displayed on Teams Page, or in the Rankings which is probably where most will look first.

Null fields (e.g. 0 or blank) won't display.

So enter values greater than 0 e.g. 1,2or3 as tournament id or ladder id, etc.

Ah i understand where you mean now. I'll fix this in v5.2.1

Yeah I'll fix this in v5.2.0 as well

8. Turn off vB options -> Team Settings -> Simple Members List -> No {SAVE}

9. If it's already a user profile field, edit the template to show it.

10. Look at live match finder - shows player/teams interest in looking for a match within next 1 hour

vB Tournaments, Ladders & Leagues Manager v5.2.1 Premium Released
Today
- Credits bug fixes for PREMIUM version only

http://bananalive.org

in the League Upcoming and Recent table, could you add a column for the round and date of the round ?

thanks

could you add an option for choosing the date display format ? for example mm-dd-aaaa, dd-mm-aaaa .....

i think there i a visual bug on the tab tournament on a ladder detail, there were all field populated with the name of the tournament, could you verify ?

thanks

Suggestion:

1. Can there be the ability to allow admin to lock a Team and not allow members to join? Example: We have structured time conditioned tournaments that last 6 weeks. We would like to lock Team Rosters midway or before playoffs so that no new members may participate. Right now there is no way for an admin to remove members from Teams unless they actually add them. If you were to add an option for admin to delete a member locking rosters would not be needed as I would simply delete newly added names beyond the roster lock time frame. However; to be able to lock a teams roster would be best as an admin ability specific for tournaments that last weeks at a time, and need to prevent members prior to playoffs, or other time frames.

2. Delete Free Agents: Allow admin the ability to delete a Free Agent that is beyond a certain time. This prevents participants from listing themselves as Free Agents and then never come back and do anything. The way it is now hundreds if not thousands of users could list themselves as free agents and if they don't get invites or do anything they just continue to build in the Free Agent area of the script. Let us clean our house from time to time!!!

3. Avatar Team Member: I know you answered me for my previous Avatar on Team Member tab but I like the simple Team Members list and would like Avatars for that as well as the other style. Could this be implemented?

Nice work on 5.2.1. Mostly all issues I had are resolved.

Yep, i'll fix that in next version

It should use forum date format?

v5.2.1 - tbr
- Delete free agents (usergroup permission)

hi there,

Purchased Premium last night and have been testing it since. Recently bought 5 credits via paypal. Transaction was successful however the system does not acknowledge the transaction. My account still saying 0 credits and there are no paypal transactions in the table.

Am I skipping a step?

Is it possible to add match-chat on tournaments ?

and also the league feature that's a player could insert the match result ?

Your paypal IPN listener probably won't be working.

Log into paypal.com

My Account -> Profile -> My Selling Preferences

Instant payment notifications : click 'update'

Enable IPNs
- Notification URL: http://www.yoursite.com/forums/tll_paypal_ipn.php
- Message delivery : Enabled

Then try test transaction again.

of course! Thanks for that. (if only paypal would allow multiple IPN's to be configured!

Another things, I can't seem to work out how to rebuild category cache. Can you point me in the right direction please.

Thanks again.

Is there a way to increase the maximum number of players/teams in a specific tournament type?

Hey bananalive, you can help with installation?

Thy

For this ?

Have you had a look at the readme?

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

No. But as v5.2.0 round robin and double round robin sizes increased

Players should/teams should already be able to submit match results. Have a look under challenges section.

http://yoursite.com/forums/ladders.php?do=challenges

You can enable comments for tournaments. Or link a tournament to a forum thread.

i'm asking for tournaments not for ladder/league, is it possible ?

It's premium feature for tournaments.

So i must have this, i'll check because i don't see this feature

Is there not a submit result button when viewing it

Suggestions:

1. Add a 2nd place amount on tournaments for payout. There is only payout to 1st place!
2. Could it be possible to decrease per credit purchase when purchased in bulk. Example: 1 credit equals $1.50 while 5 credits may equal $6.75 and so forth up to max credits 50 equal $50.00 which would be $1.00 pc.
3. Can Teams have an admin lock function to disallow new members from joining or being added.
4. Can PS3 or XBOX uerbars be incorporated for team members that use their PS3 and XMB id's. This is highly used on sites such as Gamebattles, and Fraggednation.
5. I know ladders have the ability to add their own rules but can you allow tournaments to have there own rules tab as well just like ladders.
6. Can you have it so instead of a certain amount keep to the house for tournaments it be a percentage.
7. Allow for admin to delete a member from a team. There is no choice to remove members from teams. Example: My website only allows 1 participant per IP Address, and let's say a leader created multiple accounts on the forum and adds them to the team. Once admin detects the multiple accounts and deletes them a blank spot stays on the teams roster. There is no way to remove that blank spot and we are left asking team leader to delete them. I would like to be able to delete names from teams please!


So many previous questions from page 95 and 96 have went unanswered. Could we get some clarifications on those questions and/or suggestions please?

Premium 5.2.2 is not available for download in download section.

Hi. First I wanted to thank you for making such a great mod. I love it.
I just bought your vB Tournaments, Ladders & Leagues Manager Premium v5.x.x and I was wondering if that came with the Premium Features:

Support Tickets
Leagues into Knockout Stage
Live Match Finder.


Also, is there a spanish version of this mod?

i need help , please when i add a tournament i get this error

"Error. Invalid tournament"


Also i just bought the premium ladders and tournaments and i was wondering , now days most competitive website are about shooters, are you planning in adding the ability for admins to add game modes and maps , and every time someone challenge another player , they can chose to have the maps and game modes random? Now about this bananalive if you can make this for me i will buy this mod or modification to it, i really need this due to i run a shooter mainly website. If anyone else can make this happens for me please contact me on skype or here

skype: stalkingdatoast

I bought the version 5.1.4 PREM, how can I upgrade?

Thanks

Just check the Banana Live website as posted above mate and check in your account for any Updated downloads for the mod

Can I create a ladder where anyone can join (registered users )and just play ladder games?

Has anyone tested this on vBulletin 4.2?

THanks!

I tried to install in 4.2 and it doesnt appear to work, all permissions set, it didnt put a link in navbar and Im not sure how to check by typing a manual url because I dont know where to go, no links in styles.

EDIT: Nevermind it does appear to work but it doesnt auto the link I had to add it manually after I found out the manual url to type .
I will be testing it out. I will let you know if there is any big bugs.

I have the same problem, do a quick test seems to be running ok....

Just had to locate the link and add it to the nav bar....

Thanks

Hi Banana,

Hoping for integration of the following competition format:

-World Cup Style (Similar to FIFA Tournaments, if you watch soccer).
-Team are separated into groups. Group A plays each other, group b play each other and so on. Top two teams from Group A then play Top two teams from Group B and so on.
-Support for a minimum of 32 teams.
-Admin should have the ability to shuffle teams around groups

Example: http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive...hes/index.html (difference being groups should support at least 4 teams)


Also, are the following changes possible for the league system:

- support for "groups" of teams in ladder mode
- groups should be definable, ie: groups of 4, groups of 8, groups of 16
- each team in group plays eachother once during the season
- top 2 teams of each group go into finals, this is calulacted based on W/L/D THEN head 2 head resultsTHEN round count
- if there is only 1 group, top 4 teams go into finals - calculated the same way
- groups should also be manually created and sorted by admins

Can you please share what the link should look like?


Thanks!

You believe the URL is www.yoursite.com.au/forum/competitions.php

obviously replace /forum/ with the name of your specific directory.

Yes.

The updated premium version is available here:

http://bananalive.org/shop/index.php...count/download

I don't offer any languages/translations, but you may be able to find one somewhere else, if there's spanish version of vbulletin.org

Hi Banana,

As a generic user I'm struggling to find where teams can challenge other teams in the ladder system. From all I can see, only Competition Mod can 'insert ladder challenges".

Help please :) (also, please review post above)

I have mentioned this a few pages back but the downloads on premium do not reflect the latest 5.2.2 which shows on Facebook. Can this get updated so I can upgrade please!!

Uploaded, check back now

Click on their name, then challenge team

New Ladder/League Design Preview:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVVz5...ature=youtu.be

some questions.

first i must say, that system is awesome! but i have some questions where you may can help:

1. is there any chance to do a seeding for players befor the Tournament starts?

2. in a tournament, where can the players add the results?

3. is there a way, to give not only the first 3 places some points? so maybe the first 8? or should i do that manually?


thnx for your answers.

In the League into knockout stages format teams are not separated properly, you can have all the winners playing each other and all the runners up playing each other, or indeed you can have the winners playing the runners up from there group, is there a possible way for us to manually enter teams into knockout stages so we could have winners of groups against runners up for example?

Like 5.2.7 but it does not open like your video does. When I click on a name it just loads a new page with the new look. I have to use browser back button to get back to rankings. Wish it would be like the video and have a pop-up window with the new feature.

What browser are you using?

Have you cleared your browser cache so the updated javascript file is loaded?

There's no seeding, players are added randomly to tournament. You can rearrange once the tournament starts, if you wish.

For results, tournament moderators/creator can progress players. Or if you have the premium version, the players can click 'Submit Result'.

it would be nice with auto seeding tho :-)

FireFox, and IE. Perhaps you may have forgot to include an updated script. In both browsers with Cache, Cookies, and everything else refreshed there is no pop-up screen when clicking on a ladder participants name. It just loads in a same window and I have to use browser back buttons to get to rankings. It does not work on wife's laptop, daughters laptop or computer, son's laptop or ps3, my computer or ps3, or anything else I have.

Are Seedings planed? Cause i think seeding is a really needed Option.
Thnx for your answer.

Check you have jquery-1.6.4.min.js in clientscript/jquery/ directory

That took care of it, ty. Is that something that should be in the upload file?

What's new or changed/fixed in 5.2.7 ?

is there any options to add score after match end? like some game have Best Of 3,5,7 etc...

also, add an option to add date and time for every single match :D

Should be part of default version vb.

Few new features
+ crown for ladders
+ new javascript popups
Few bug fixes

What is the + crown for ladders? Where do you see this or where are the settings?

Say on a singles ladder playing Football the Crown can be set to any player to start the ladder then when he is beaten the Winner auto takes the Crown on and will have that set on there Profile until someone beats them and takes it.


So Can be used for lots of different game modes too.
You can see it in action on any league ladder etc

Although I appreciate your reply, that does not answer my questions. I know what a crown is!! What I do not know is where it is for this mod, how to activate it, how to see it, or any other setting needed. There for sure was no crown image in the image folder, and so I need to know what it is since it was mentioned as a upgrade in latest version. Please explain Bananalive on this Crown for the latest update.

I also noticed a new setting to be able to manage all team members, but the admin or super admin still can not delete members from teams. That is required of the team leader to do. So we are still at the same point that when a person deletes his account or is deleted because of double IP registration there is a blank spot on a teams roster.

I also noticed that with the new update and your pop-up comes up when you click on view team profile it goes to an error stating team does not exist. Can this please be looked into!!

Suggestion:

Instead of using the trophy image which is used to show the winners of tournaments for the crown can there be an actual image of a crown which would be more appropriate? I know I can change the image by uploading and overwriting the existing image with a crown, but I like the trophy for the tournament winners.

If you have the lastest Install then the Crown shows once a ladder is set up and you can apply it to which ever player or team you wish to begin the ladder/Comp with.Once they are beaten it then moves on to the team/player that beats them.

Team leader and Admin can delete users from teams on the team screen as well no problems.

Have you downloaded the latest mod and installed that from BananaLive website?

Also the error you get with the team not existing does not happen for us at all.
Sorry if my answers are not very clear to you!:up:

I have the latest install and see no crown when creating a ladder. I see no crown when editing the ladder as well. I joined the test ladder I just created and see no crown by my name. On a ladder with the crown it should automatically be visible to the very first person to join the ladder. Where are the settings at to turn on the crown or to give it to someone?

I understand the Team Leader can delete members from the team, but how does the Admin? I see no feature that allows Admin to click on to delete a member.

If you would allow registration on your website I would like to join and see your ladder system. You can also register at my site to see mine, and what I am talking about with the teams error when clicking on pop-up window to see team profile.

On your test ladder submit a win against another profile. Once the win has been submitted and confirmed and the ladder updated then click on the username (yours for example) that won and in the pop up click "claim crown"

Claim crown is only needed when no player has a crown in the ladder yet.

Done for next version.

The image is still the same silver trophy that is shown for tournament winners. There was no new image of a crown in the images folder, and was this updated to a new image or stayed the same. It is using buttons/reputation-20.png image.

I still do not have any way to delete members from teams as there is no option for me to delete them as super admin. Can this be looked into please. Image attached to show what I see when looking at Team Members of a team.

Last issue is when you go to a ladder that is team based and you click on the team the new window opens in a pop-up. When I click View Team Profile I get an error. Here is the team link from the image below when I go to it from the Teams link in left side link navigation http://www.mywebsite.com/teams.php?179--Game-Over-, and here is the team link it opens when I click on View Team Profile http://www.mywebsite.com/teams.php?2349--Game-Over-. Something is not working here.

Hello, in the "upcoming matches" of a league's detail, could you order the match by date ?

thanks

Emiliano

It's in next version - v5.3.1

AdminCP -> Competition Settings -> Team Settings -> Limit Usergroup Setting: 'Can add a user to a team' -> No

Bug fix in v5.3.1 too for team urls
