    This is great!

    In our Vanilla we use ThankfulPeople (modded of course) to track sign-ups in our tournaments.

    i have no interest in it.
    But i would love to see this developed from purely coding point of view. How u will accomplish this. plus having an experienced coder is always welcomed.

    Alright well when I get some free time this week Ill start converting my phpBB code over to an extension. Hopefully it will go well.

    Thanks.

    Edit: @MySchizoBuddy: You can look at how I did all this by downloading it and looking at my code if you want. Extract it and go to phpbbrivals/rivals/classes/ in there is a file called tournament.php which handles the graphical brackets and stuff.

    I'd be interested in this. If it works then I'll see if I can get a clan/community over to using it :) I already have an SQL dump of the IPB board they're currently using to mess around with as well.

    Alright I managed to get basicly all of it working on Vanilla so far. Right now I just gotta change some queries to match Vanilla's database and edit the template files to show the right css things.

    I might beable to have a download for you guys to test tonight if I get a chance but if not then ill treat you to some screenshots :)

    Can I change this topic title to "Add-On: Vanilla Rivals (clans/ladders/tournaments)" or something similar? or do I have to have downloadable first? Not sure how extension development topics work here, sorry.

    Thanks.

    for testing u can just change the name of this post and post the file.
    Once its all done. then u have to upload it to Lussumo Addons page, by filling out a form

    btw curious. what made u come to Vanilla from Phpbb.
    word of mouth?

    I am still going to maintain my phpBB version of it but I decided to come over to Vanilla because Iv been coding things for phpBB for 3 years or something and I just dont have the same 'feeling' for phpBB now as I did back then because of some changes. I found Vanilla when I wanted a forum/blog integration for my website ... and I like its features and ideas, its very unique, easy to use and integrate.

    And BTW, thanks for the info :).
  10.  # 10
    why not punbb. they seems to be second most popular after phpbb.
    i'm one of those weirdos that have no use of vanilla at all. but am still developing for it, cause i just find it unique and fresh and i want to support it. Even though i have no use for it.

    Naw I honestly don't like punBB that much.

    Anyways I basicly got all the files modded that I need modded to work for vanilla, I got all pages styled except for the ACP :P so I wont show you any screenshots there. I can show a nice set of tournament brackets sometime tomorrow too.

    Here is the ugly looking suckers :): View Some Screenshots

    Any comments? Thanks.

    is it possible to have individual participants --not only clans-- in a tournament ?

    @Devective: I have already tried to come up with some way to do this but it is simply was too incompatable with the code I got to do this. You can however register a clan as your username, only solution ATM.

    @MySchizoBuddy: Alright. Good enough title?

    Window Managaer is xfwm I think and Thunar as my file manager. Arch Linux :) going to move to Xubuntu though soon, Arch isent supporting my laptop too well, I'm tired of writing custom acpid scripts. :)

    Just a note ... I released it. I did a fresh install myself and it was detected in extensions, it installed fine, hopefully it will install fine for you as well but I was rushed a bit today.

    Hopefully you'll like it ... download link is on the first post of this page. CVS is up too.

    EDIT: Can I submit this to the add-ons now or should/do I have to wait?
    Thanks.

    AIBOT, if you think it's ready for add-ons go ahead and package it with the appropriate readme files and toss it up there. Else if you have the time you can double check by setting up another database/Vanilla installation and confirm it's stable and ready. Looking good otherwise :)

    Hmm, anyone is welcome to test it out but I have two to-do things to do :P
    1) In the phpBB version, I use PMs to send reports about matches, approvals, pending matches etc, so I guess ill have to make my own little PM system but call it clan messages and display them in the CCP.
    2) Get rid of $board_config things. :)

    So once I do thoes two MINOR things, I'll retest and if I dont see anything wrong, ill submit. Thanks :D Comments welcome ...

    AIBOT, for the PMs thing, how about you use Jazzman's PM extension? I believe it still needs a little work, but improving it and integrating it with your extension would benefit the whole vanilla community a lot more :)

    let the extension work on its own. iron out all the kinks. then worry about integrating with other extensions. which almost always never happens. So AIBOT don't waste ur time with integrating. just do ur own stuff and finish it with features complete.

    Maybe you could give a permission like "can post results" to a role. And that people could have their own way of getting results from the player (mp's, email, msn, etc).

    Ok added the "Clan Messages" feature to replace PMs. Fixed $Board_config stuff. To upgrade: Download the ZIP from the first post in this discussion, replace the entire folder of vanillarivals in your extensions folder with the new folder, and run

    "CREATE TABLE `VAN_rivalspms` (
    `pm_id` int(1) NOT NULL auto_increment,
    `pm_to` int(1) NOT NULL,
    `pm_from` int(1) NOT NULL,
    `pm_subject` text NOT NULL,
    `pm_message` text NOT NULL,
    `pm_date` text NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (`pm_id`)
    );
    INSERT INTO `VAN_modules` (`module_id`, `module_name`, `module_status`, `module_dep`) VALUES (33, 'ccpmessages', 1, 'ccp');"


    @Detective: I dont understand what you mean :(.

    Ah I think I know why your getting that ... go disable/turn off the extension in the admin section, THEN run the install_rivals.php file, THEN turn the extension back on.

    See if that helps :)

    "Some problems were encountered
    The file you have attempted to upload (vanillarivals.zip) is larger than the allowed size: 100kb"

    Any ideas on a workaround for that? The .zip is actually 123.5 KB

    *puts up the MarkSignal™

    Meanwhile, if the extension requires heavy CSS or theme styling you could probably make the style a or rivals package a dependency and optimize things in the process by cutting it across two different files. Just remember to include the proper documentation for both to get things running.

    I guess that depends on user's preferences. You could offer the option to add your links as a panel block instead of as 4 seperate tabs if some people prefer it that way?

    AIBOT,

    Great effort. I'm a newbie at setting up tourney's but need to do one on a new forum. I've looked here and on phpBB for a quick tutorial on how to create and populate a tournament using Rivals but couldn't find anything. Does one exist anywhere?

    What I'm trying to figure out is if I can setup a Ryder Cup golf format for a group of us who play once a year in a 4 day golf tourney (e.g. Team EURO vs. TEAM USA, 6-8 members on each team - each foursome represent a EURO/USA individual best ball, and Team best ball for a possible 3 points per foursome).

    Thx. in advance,

    You should be able to set it up fine. Click Rivals ACP click Add Tournament.

    Tournament Name: The name of your tournament.
    Tournament Password: Only set one if this is going to be a private tournament where you will invite the clans.
    Brackets: Basicly, how many clans are going to play.
    Required Members per Clan: How many members must a clan have in their roster in order to be able to play? Leave blank if none.
    Tournament Type: Single or Double Elimination. See Wikipedia.org if you don't know what these are.
    Tournament Info: General information about the tournament, when will it take place, etc.

    If you have any problems, drop a message @ http://lussumo.com/community/discussion/6351/vanilla-rivals/ :)

    Thanks.

    I'd really like to use this extension to organise duel tournaments :(
    Using clan names as user names doesn't feel really accurate, its not easy for everyone to deal with it :/

    It could be a great idea to be able to disable all the clan related features !
    Or if it doesn't require too much work, it might be even better to have another simplified extension based on this one, especially designed for 1v1.

    Anyway, keep up the good work :)

    meh that's too bad :"(

    But dividing team oriented games from all the other ones doesn't sound like a bad idea to me, so what about another extension designed for individuals tournaments ? A small one, easy to setup, including only the bracket system for example.

    Given the fact that vanilla is designed for small communities, organising tiny duels amongst all the members would be really awesome :)

    I would have to strip a lot of code and rewrite even more of it to have one designed for "individuals" and not clans. Maybe ill consider it after the next release if I have time for it.

    "Hm I may forget about organising little tourneys to concentrate on something else !"
    What do you mean by this? You can modify phptourny's code to use vanilla's userbase, or are you talking about making a extension out of it?

    also, how would i make it so the clan option do not show up under the discussion page (the main page) and instead they would show up under their own unique page called something like vanillarivals
