Only while viewing the raffle on the main site, and in the admincp raffle setting I get the following at the top of the page:

This only started after installing the raffle system and only while viewing anything to do with the raffle.

Any help?
Raffle Version 1.1.2
vB Version 3.8.7
PHP version 5.3.27

I just went to go to your website and it said my IP was banned??? I never been to your site before this.

It sounds like you're using the AW Credit Purchase System.

Check the 'AWCL- Units Updates' and 'AWCL- Trans delete' plugins for AW Credits and see if there's a line of code with this

And replace it with this (in both plugins)..

I received your email and the IP used to send that mail is not banned on my site. So, I don't know why it said it is. Unless you tried to register with a proxy before sending the email with the contact form.

Actually I have no credit system installed. I was able to fix the above issue by removing some "&" signs that referenced my database. But now I am having another problem. The default image is not showing up, when I go to check the image location in a new window I get the following: mysite.com/forum/raffles.php/images/raffles/default.gif For some reason it is keeping the raffles.php in with the link to the image. How to fix this so that it shows a proper link?

And no...I was not through a proxy going to your site.

There are no & symbols in any database call in the raffle system.

What did you enter for the raffle image when you set up the raffle? What does it show in the 'Prize Image' setting for the raffle? The default path for the default raffle image is images/raffles/default.gif and nowhere in the raffle system does it say anything different. And nowhere is the raffle.php added to the path.

The & symbols where in the init.php file and class_core.php file. I removed those and the main error disappeared, thats no longer my issue.

My issue is with the default images not showing up in a new raffle. this is what it is doing, when I right click on where the image is supposed to be and click "open image in new tab" It opens a new tab with this web address: [//url]http://www.mysite.com/forum/raffles.php/images/raffles/default.gif[//url]

It's not finding the image cause it still has the raffles.php in the link. instead of removing and making the address [//url]http://www.mysite.com/forum/images/raffles/default.gif[//url] like it should be.

What is in the settings for the raffle under 'Raffle Image'?

The 'raffles.php' part I have highlighted is not done by the raffle system. So I'm guessing that you have raffles.php/images/raffles/default.gif in the settings for the raffle.

And can you send me a link to your site so I can see what you're talking about?

Nope,

Prize Image
(default: [//url]http://mysite.com/forum/images/raffles/default.gif[/
/url])

When not entering an address in the field is what causes the error I stated above. And when I DO enter in an address no immage at all shows, not even a place holder, the default does not show, nor any other image I choose. Just nothing.

Wait, wait wait..

Does the image show the url BBcodes in the settings? That should be not there at all.

It should either be the path to the file..
http://mysite.com/forum/images/raffles/default.gif

OR, some servers don't like a full URL and won't allow it and in that case it should just be..
images/raffles/default.gif

By default it is adding the BBcodes

I got it now where if I put in a direct link it will show an image. But with a default blank entry box is when the issue arises. somewhere in your code you have it adding the BBcode I would imagine.
