Post/Referral Contest Mod

[kiFF]

Basically, something like this. (http://vbmodder.com/forums/f17/easy-contest-1343.html) Unfortunately, that website's coder stopped making this modification. Nevertheless, judging from search results on this website, it's something people want.

Here's a picture of the Control Panel options:

The modification lets you choose a start date and end date. However, it does not just count any post. You can set the amount of characters for each post to be counted. Furthermore, it doesn't just count any referral. You can set the options so it only counts referrals you make more than 5 posts, for example.

The crunched data would look something like this:

The points system makes it easy to determine the winner of the contest.

What do you think?

EDIT: You might no be able to see the links I posted, so I attached the images.

Anyone?

I definitely would be interested. I do this manually now.

[kiFF]

Yea, except you can't do things like make referrals with only 5 posts count towards the contest, for example. I like that feature. And the points sytem is really useful as well.

What a great idea. I guess if he doesnt get it coded, I will look at getting it coded myself.

[SEOvB]

Yep, wonderful idea indeed!

Well, back in May, he said, "I haven't even looked at the thing in a few months. I took so much heat over a contest on one of my sites (the every post is spam crowd) that I just stopped working on it. I haven't had a posting contest since. I am a "have need" coder."

I don't think he's going to work on this anymore. :(

[FreshFroot]

interesting.. might take a crack at it sometime too.

[logicuk]

This would be a great addon :D

[kiFF]

Yea, someone please make this. :D

[kiFF]

Bump.

Anyone willing to create this modification?

[SVTCobraLTD]

Maybe a coder willing to work on this can contact the author and see if he will send what he has done so far. The new coder could then release it.

Bump for a great mod, someone please make this :)

[vern17]

Has anybody worked on doing something like this? This would be a great addition that I think many people would use.

[SlimPickins]

i would be very interested in a mod like this as well!

[Markos]

i would like this too

[fattony69]

You could use vbcredits and just edit the settings to achieve this. I know I have done this on my sites before. It isn't hard especially with the amount of settings you can do.

[Qwest]

Years of interest and no mod :(

[mmllc]

Someone make this mod :)

[dendrob]

bump...this would be very useful for many !!!

[Brandon Sheley]

I have the easycontest mod pictured in the first post, the only place to get it is from code monkey (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=56097) ;)

This is almost exactly what I was looking for. Too bad it's probably never going to be updated.
