Do profile fields have to be created in order for this mod to work properly?

Hi .. :)

I asked a similar question in the other mod referenced here, but never received an answer, so I thought I'd check here too.

You indicate that you support AWCoding- Credit Purchase System.

So, does that mean we can use their add-on to have members purchase site credits through PayPal (or some other gateways) using real money, which then creates a "credits" balance through your mod, which in-turn can be used to buy raffle tickets from the your mod?

Sorry if I'm not explaining what we're trying to accomplish well, but this virtual currency stuff is kind of new for us.

Not unless you want to use them.

Yes it does. However, they would be purchasing raffle tickets not credits. You set the price per ticket and they have to purchase them before they can enter the raffle.

The settings for the AWCoding mod are show in Raffle Settings.

And, you don't need to use a credit system if you don't want to. The raffle system was originally designed for free raffles and it can still function as such.

Thanks .. :)

I thought this might be a good mechanism to help raise money to support our not-for-proft collector's organization.

Appreciate the support..

Maybe I missed this somewhere along in others questions but when creating a raffle and setting up the draw date why is it that if a raffle registers through say 6/5/2011 and the ability to enter the raffle ends at 12 am 6/4/2011 the araffle isn't actually scheduled through task manager to be drawn until the 6/6/2011? What I found was I had to go back and edit the draw date in raffle settings again and when I do a manual draw the draw date shows as being drawn on 6/4/2011? Kind of deceiving to those who entered the raffle in my opinion?

The raffle draws on the date the raffle is set to end.

If you set it to end on 6/5/2011, the ability to enter ends at midnight (00:00am) 6/5/2011 and it draws on 6/5/2011. If you left the draw time as the default, it would draw on 6/5/2011 at 10:00am per your server's time setting.

The only way a raffle wouldn't draw is if nobody comes to the site to trigger the vbulletin cron jobs. (highly unlikely, but possible)

Also because the vb cron jobs run via code in your pages, the actual draw can vary some. On one site, the job is scheduled for 10:00am, but due to low activity on the day it was to be drawn the actual draw didn't take place until 10:10am.

Although the cron draw routine hasn't changed much at all since the initial release, I've set up 2 test raffles on 2 different servers to be sure the draws take place as they should.

They should both draw tomorrow morning at 10:00am their server times. (one Eastern time, one Mountain Time)

And I should win them both. :D
