Is ther ea version of this raffle that gives extra "tickets" to someone based on other criteria, i.e. how long they have been a member, how many posts they have, etc.

Any of the credit systems such as vBCredits II can be used to give tickets to members based on activity.

I'm noticing that with allot of raffles the page tends to time out despite a fairly lengthy timeout already enabled via the php config. Maybe limit the raffle to a set amount per page to lower the queries?

Someone mentioned pagnation which I do intend to do.

In the mean time, I'd suggest deleting the oldest raffles from your system to overcome the problem.

Another suggestion... In the 'Whats going on?' box remove the 'current raffles' output for guests. That will reduce queries ;)

Just put usergroup 1 in the banned usergroups in Raffle Settings.

The one query for what's going on, won't run then.

This works with Credit Purchase Lite right? if so I need some help with these directions

Cost Per Ticket
THIS IS ONLY FOR DISPLAY TO MEMBERS.
The cost per ticket MUST be set in the Credit Purchase System. And this should match that setting.

I have the minimum purchase for credits set at 200=2 but I want my raffles to only be 10 credits, how do I do this?

The credit purchase system interface is intended for use to sell individual raffle tickets. There is no interface to the CPS that allows the use of credits in any other form.

I am currently running two raffles, but only one is shoing in the "Whats Going on " box on forumhome

Should it be displaying all currently running raffles ?

How do I get it to show up in the "Whats Going On" box?

Thanks

Make sure your usergroup has permission to enter the raffle not being displayed.

In the main raffle setting page, make sure "Show Raffles in What's Going On" is set to 'Yes'.

Seeing this when i click on raffles.php from the community menu:

Warning: Division by zero in [path]/raffles.php on line 112

That can mean a few things...

1) You didn't upload the image folder to your server

2) You didn't upload the raffle image to your server in the images/raffles folder.

3) Your server doesn't allow http references to images (http://yoursitename/images/raffles/yourimagename.jpg). Try changing the image location to images/raffles/yourimagename.jpg.

can one just use paypal to have members use to purchase a amount/set of tickets ? by using the VB default subscription system ?

any help options feed back , would be great

Id like to use a raffle or contest system for Santa present for the children of the members who win.

It can be done by using the vB subscription system and moving the subscribers to a different usergroup. Then only allow that usergroup to enter the raffle.

Can you do the points with this as well? (I posted on the vB5 thread). Currently am using vB3 and would love for a way to offer sweet prizes, but to get a chance to win, you need to give up some Points. :) thx!

Yes you can...

When the mod description says it is compatible with VBCredits II, are you referring to this version - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=245952

Thanks!

Yes, that's the one.

How do i change the title on the whats goin on part as in the screenshot?

Use the vBulletin Phrase Manager and edit the phrase 'raffle_cur_raffles'.

Yes, the phrase is the same in the vB 4 version.

THANKS SORTED NOW M8

Hello,

I am using AW Coding's Credit Purchase System with the Raffle System, I still have no raffle ticket to enter the contest after I paid for it. What is the righ setup for both system?

Thanks

The instructions are included in the zip file you downloaded.

But so far as I know, the Credit Purchase system is no longer supported by AW Coding. So, I can't guarantee it will work any more.

Thanks nhawk.

Hello nhawk,

Is there a setting that shows raffle ticket number per member? for example, if I entered 5 different times, the raffle should show that I have 5 numbers like 1 5 7 8 16.

Thanks

No there isn't.

There is no 'Ticket Number' per say. Ticket numbers would be the record number for the entry. There is an option in the raffle system to display the record number as a 'Ticket Number' after the raffle is drawn. But there's no need for a member to know the number since it's not used for anything. When a member wins, their name is displayed as the winner. Not a number.

I would also like people to get away from the 'Ticket' reference. Technically there is no 'Ticket' issued. Any number issued is artificial and not relevant or even needed. It only exists because people insist on some sort of ticket number.

Think about it more as entries where your name is put into a big drum and someone picks the name of the winner out of the drum. Except in the case of the raffle system, the pick is automated and completely random.

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.
