If you do not already see a portal named ARCADETOURNAMENT then (if you do then IGNORE The Steps 1-5)

1.Click on the Blank box icon that looks like this

Now you see a screen like this

2.Add ARCADETOURNAMENT to the name

3.And then what you want in the Title.

4. Click Create New Portal

)</td>

Click on ARCADETOURNAMENT

You will now see this screen.

You now need to set this to how you like.

Title = The name of the portal

Published = Yes Anyone will see , No = only admins will see
Show Title No Yes Select whether to show the title of this component
Games/Players Games = show game names -- Player = show players name.
Show Games = When showing top players list the games they have won..
Tournament name = The name of the tournament you wish to show this must be exact.
Count = How many players to show

Examples of the different methods are shown at the end of the guide.

Now Where To Add It

Most likely you would add this to cms_index_body.tpl

Goto admin panel --- 3. Styles --- Edit Templates/Logos -- the template you wish to edit (EG myff_howtodoit1)--- Submit

Now look at the bottom in the area marked Choose Portal template File to Edit use the drop down bar and find

cms_index.tpl

And place this code where you want it to appear.

Code:

{MYFF.ARCADETOURNAMENT}

So it may look like this

Code:

<tr>
<td colspan="1" width="150" height="25" class="topictitle" nowrap="nowrap">{MYFF.ARCADETOURNAMENT}</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td colspan="1" width="150" height="25" class="topictitle" nowrap="nowrap">{MYFF.ANNOUNCE show_results="topics"}</td>
</tr>

You can even set it up to appear on a special web page like below.
