Viper, see your PMs please

Nevermind Viper..

After running a few hundred draws I finally found the problem. Fixed in v1.0.7.

Thank you!

For those still having trouble with multiple wins, please download and install v1.0.8 and then enable debug mode in raffle settings.

This will put a detailed log of the actions taken by the raffle draw scheduled task into the scheduled task log.

When you have a problem, upload a copy or screenshot of the full log for the problem draw.

Is there any difference between 1.0.7 and 1.0.8 apart from the debug option? I've just run a test raffle on v1.0.7 and it worked fine.:)

There is one other minor difference.

I would suggest updating to 1.0.8 to be safe.

However do not turn on debug mode unless you are having problems with raffle draws.

thanks, nice mod :)

Downloaded and installed without any issue! Love the ones that work out of the box!

THANKS NHAWK

nHawk, is there a module for this mod? For vbadvanced?

Unless there is some sort of point system in vbadvanced, it should work with the underlying vBulletin forum software without a problem.

In my navbar under community, the word "Raffles" is missing, but there is still a blank space to link to raffles. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Also, there by any chance you can post some default "Raffle Rules" that we can paste and customize in the rules section. I would really appreciate that!

Voted MOTH

EDIT: Try this...

Go to AdminCP->Languages and Phrases->Phrase Manager

Click Add Phrase

Phrase Type: Global
Product: Raffles
Varname: raffle
Text: Raffles

If you get an error saying the phrase exists, then something is interfering with the Raffle system adding the phrase to the community menu. Which I wouldn't doubt because clicking any dropdown menu on your site takes multiple tries to get it to stay down.

There are sample rules included with the zip file you downloaded.

raffles wont draw; Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/x/public_html/forum/includes/cron/raffledraw.php on line 75 /edit downloaded fix but getting white page..

You are running v1.0.4, update to the most current version. That was fixed in 1.0.6.

downloaded fix but getting white page.. /edit cleared xcache,w orked. cheers.

I'm looking for something like this but I want a way to add criteria, i.e. members get (1) ticket for each month they are a member, members get (1) ticket for every 250 posts they have, and a bit more complicate but members get (10) tickets for liking us on Facebook and (10) tickets for likeing us on Twitter... any way to do that?

You're talking about a point management system.

Look into vBCredits II, ICash, kBank and vbBux. They are all supported by the Raffle system.

My personal preference is vBCredits II, but that's just me.

how do i start a raffle? cant find it anywhere

Make sure you did step 4 in the installation instructions..

4) Anyone you want to be able to administer raffles on your site must also have Administrator Permissions and have "Can Admin Raffles" set to 'Yes' or they will not be able to administer raffles.


Set up your general settings in AdminCP->Raffles->Raffle Settings

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...3&d=1308577335

Then create a new raffle in AdminCP->Raffles->Add New Raffle

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...6&d=1308577335

Looking at your mod gave me an idea. It would be nice to have a mod that I can use to sell tickets to win a product. For example: I have a laptop and for a chance to win it the user could but a ticket for $1. At the end of the offer period the mod would pick a winner.

Is there a mod like this already? (or does this mod already do all this??)
It could increase traffic and create revenue for the site too!

This add-on can do it when used with AWCoding's Credit Purchase System.

Hi,

I just installed the raffle system and I can't wait to use it.

I do have two things I need help with:

1) How can I change the colour of the text, background, and other elements for my raffles?

See that attached picture of what I mean. The current look just doesn't match my site and I would like to customize it.


2) On the raffle page I am getting an SQL error. (See screenshot)


Thanks,

D.

By default, the colors come from your Style. But colors can be added in ACP->Styles & Templates

Select your Style, scroll down to Raffle Templates and select it. In there is raffle.css. Any area you want to change the color in, add the color like this..
color: #FFFFFF;

Where the # is the RGB color you want to use.

I can't duplicate the SQL Error. Have you found the problem?

Just a minor admin bug you may want to fix.

That looks like you have a link to a video as part of the name for the raffle??

I'd suggest embeding videos in the description if that's the case.

All HTML is in the description, hence the problem.

/EDIT

Attached it for you to try. Also, ending the description with a standard a href link will cause a problem too.

I see, that's interesting.

Use BB Code for the video, not HTML. That will eliminate the problem for now.

Edit: OR..

Upgrade to the latest version I'm about to post. :)

Whats this all aboot.

Geez, seems like things just don't want to go right lately. :(

You can eliminate that by editing /includes/xml/cpnav_raffles.xml

Delete these lines..
That is actually one of the add-ons for raffles and it shouldn't have been in the main xml. It will not affect the raffle system in any way.

I'll release an update in the next couple of days. I'm just waiting on input from someone about a problem they were having.

EDIT: I decided to release the next update today. All should be good now.

Noting to check this out later.

Amazing!!!
Great Mod Thanks!!!

Hello again,

Is it possible to add a set of questions to a raffle where a user has to answer 5 questions (multiple choice answer) before they can enter the raffle. Sort of like product awareness before they enter in a giveaway. A wrong answer would return the question in red and let them answer it again until they get it right. When all questions are answered correctly they can enter the raffle.

Except for bug fixes, there won't be any further development of the vB 3.8 version of the raffle system.

Eventually the 3.x version of vBulletin will be discontinued and people should really be migrating to 4.x.

Bug with the browser opera :o

That tells me absolutely nothing. What happens with Opera? Can you include a screenshot?

everything is out of position with opera browser :(
http://www.infoculturismo.com/raffles.php
http://www.infoculturismo.com/raffle...do=raffle&id=2
with other browsers is perfect

I asked for screenshots because I do not have Opera installed and I do not intend to install it. I need to see what the problem is.

Thanks! :)

the same problem on all pages.

OK, I gave in and installed Opera version 11.52 and there is no such problem with Opera.

OK, thanks!!
Is strange, I have same version, but I have this problem,
and work fine with mi old Versi?n 9.64 :confused:
