Manage Tables. Configure Scoring tables, customize ranking algorithm.

Management: Views

Manage Displays. Link multiple Groups, Tables, Messages and everything together for the public

Configurations are assigned by Environmental Variables.

• PORT: (default: 3000) Port the server will Bind to

• APP_UID: (default: tournamenter) An identification (lowercase and no spaces) for the application. It's like a "namespace", and is used for database creation and connection.

• APP_NAME: (default: tournamenter) Your application name. Usually, the name of the Event

• APP_LOGO: (default: [internal_tournament_logo]) Absolute Path to the Logo. Prefer .png files to ugly white backgrounds.

Disk DB: Saves to a .json file

• DB_ADAPTER: (default: sails-disk) sails-disk is already the default one. No need to change
• DB_PATH: (default: ./tmp/[APP_UID].db) Change this to reflect where the db file will be stored.

It DB_PATH can be either:

• An Path to a Folder: Will use file DB_PATH/[APP_UID].db as db (ex: ~/)
• An Path to a File: Will use file DB_PATH as db (ex: ~/mydb.db)

MongoDB: Connects to a MongoDB Server

• DB_ADAPTER: (default: sails-disk) Set to sails-mongo in order to change to MongoDB
• DB_URL: An formated MongoDB URI (Go Here for information)

Tournamenter allows dynamic loading setup of Extensions. It only requires a list of PATH's to load.

To Run tournamenter with an Exension, provide:

• TOURNAMENTER_EXTENSIONS: With a list of absolute paths, separated by : or ,. Ex: ~/myextensionA:~/myextB

Example 2 Running in PORT 4000, Use custom database path
