Issues

#249. Team Popup Formatting

Some templates will render the popup windows in Internet Explorer such that there is a horizontal scroll bar and the content of the popup extends off the right side of the popup window. A new configuration option has been added to the Display tab called 'Enable ShowTips Padding'. This option should be enabled if your jTips is not affected by your Joomla! template in this way.

#250. Database Date Fallback Fails

In instances of PHP that do not support the strptime function, the calculated date is incorrect. The pre-existing failsafe did not cater for all error results.

#255. Upgrade Not Possible in Joomla! 1.0

Using OneClick Upgrade in Joomla! 1.0 does not create directories when necessary and results in a failed upgrade.

#256. Rounds Not Editable in Round Manager

Attempting to edit an existing round results in no existing games loading. Re-adding games to the round has no affect. Only occurs when editing a round after December 31, 2008.

#257. Round Manager Broken in Internet Explorer

Editing an existing round with Internet Explorer results in an error message popup "'options' is undefined" and no existing games loaded.

#258. Round Manager in Internet Explorer Displays Progress Bar

Loading the Round Manager with Internet Explorer on Joomla! 1.0, displays the progress bar at the top of the list.

#259. Round Manager Dynamics Broken in Internet Explorer

Enabling the Community Builder integration to display user profile avatars results in a Fatal Error when loading the jTips Dashboard.

#261. Data Importing Fails for Various Sections

Importing data into seasons or rounds results in the data not being imported.

#262. AutoUpgrade Message

When the AutoUpgrade process completes, the jTips Administrator Dashboard displays a message stating that jTips has been upgraded to the old version.

#263. Date Field Formats in Joomla! 1.0

Entering dates in Joomla! 1.0 by using the date-picker results in invalid data appearing the date field. Joomla! 1.0 date fields only supports the YYYY-MM-DD format.

#264. File Check List Format

The list of files in the File/Upgrade Check are not formatted with alternating rows in Joomla! 1.0.

#265. Javascript Language Pack Bloats Page

Loading the jTips language pack in the source of the page results in very long HTML source.

#266. Admin Menus Not Disabled From Dashboard

Clicking any of the 'Create' buttons on the jTips Administrator Dashboard leaves the main Joomla! menu bar enabled.

#267. Comment Validation Fails

Trying to validate a comment returns an entire page in the AJAX response and the page does not submit.

#268. ShowTips Popup Team Alignment

The left team in the ShowTips popup is not forced to the left of the cell.

#269. User Preferences TimeZone

On some PHP configurations, opening the User Preferences dialog produces errors or an empty white page.

TimeZone handling has been drastically changed in jTips 2.1.5. Please advise all users to update their TimeZone in their User Preferences

#270. Cannot Upload a Season Image

Uploading an image/logo for a season results in a broken image.

#271. Round Admin Bonus Point 'Notice' Error

When it is possible for both teams to be awarded a bonus point, editing the round from the front end round manager may produce 'Notice' messages.

#272. Round Manager Fails to Load Upcoming Games

Trying to load an upcoming round from the front-end round manager does not load the actual games, and produces a javascript error:

#273. Empty Season Image Link

Upload a season image/logo, then, on jTips pages, the image appears as a link, but there is no target URL even though one has been specified in the season setup.

#274. Opening ShowTeam from Team Ladder Popup

When you are in the Team Ladder popup and click on a team, the resulting ShowTeam window is broken - the scroll bar has no affect.

#275. Peak Into Current Round Broken Scrollbars

When you try to peak into the current round, the scroll bars are broken, they have no affect.

#277. Exporting Season Data Fails

Exporting season data produces Fatal errors and the page stops loading. No data file is exported.

#278. Game Ordering Not Honoured

Changing the order of games in a round from the round manager does not change what order the games appear in in the Tips Panel.

#279. Adding User To Competition Fails

With Lowest Score set for default points, adding a user to a competition produces a fatal error.

#281. White Screen of Death when Menu Enabled

With the jTips menu enabled, some instances of PHP will render an empty white page or produce an error.

#283. Community Builder Integration Fallback

If Community Builder Integration is enabled, but Community Builder is not installed, the jTips Dashboard is preceeded by a number of Warning errors.

Features

#248. Special Bonus Points (ToughScore^©)

With the new ToughScore feature enabled on the Season, creating a new round or editing an existing one, gives you the ability to enter a ToughScore value for each game. ToughScore adds bonus points to any user that correctly tips that game. For example, if Team A defeats Team B and the administrator has entered a value of say 3 for the ToughScore for that game, then if a user correctly tips Team A, they will be awarded the normal number of points for a correct tip, but will also be awarded an additional 3 points! Great for offering a bonus for games that are difficult to pick!

#253. Saving Games for Past Round

It is not possible to create a round that has already been played in only two steps. Creating a new round allows you to schedule the round for some date and time in the past. After saving the games for the round, editing the round will allow you to immediately enter the results for the games, then, simply process the round to finalise.
