at last, the mod everyone has been waiting for (or lots anyway).

Will install this later today

Thankyou

I have a request / suggestion for this wonderful mod.

It would be great of you can set a start date. So you can make raffles for the next month. (that don't start when you make a new raffle)

I just tested 1 raffle with 3 prizes. I bought 3 tickets and won 3 prizes. ^^
Would it be hard to implement that 1 user can only win 1 prize per raffle?

Edit: It is possible when you let them only take 1 ticket. But it would benifit the overall activity of the forum members if they can buy like 1 ticket every day.

Thanks and have a nice day!

As with any real raffle, if someone enters the raffle multiple times, there is a chance they will win multiple times.

But I do expect to release another update sometime next week. I may be able to sneak in an option for one prize per member.

Thanks for your reply. For the mean time I will only allow users to get 1 ticket.
I really appreciate the work you have put into this mod. For some reason nothing hapens when I click the Support developer button above.

I don't want to be to demanding but I have an other suggestion.

At the moment you can only set 1 image for the prize(s).
On my raffles I usually give away multiple prizes, like a first second and third price.
It would be great if you can specify those prices. like a different image and description per prize.

Anyway pm me your paypal account so I can support you with some fiat money ;)

This can already be done.

Winners are listed in the order they were drawn, so in a 3 prize raffle the first name is first place, second name second place, third name third place.

You can define additional images in the description of the raffle using the img BB Code.

So, you would use the First Place Prize as the main image and add second and third in the raffle description. Something like this...

I have already replied to this mod - which is an outstanding start - but it absolutely needs the ability for someone to actually PAY for a ticket(s) immediately with actual funds. If a member buys (for example) 12 tickets and then wins, you now have to chase that member for your money.

So I ask... is the ability for members to purchase tickets via Paypay (for example) going to be implemented?

Thanks for the reply & solution.
ps check your paypal ;)

@ Biggeorge,

You could use the forum Paid Subscriptions for this. but I think you don't want that.

See this post.. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....1&postcount=53

There are already mods out there that would allow the purchase of tickets and/or credits. So, there's no sense in my reinventing the wheel.

The release that will probably come this week will have support for AW Coding's Credit Purchase System. Which would allow members to purchase tickets with actual cash prior to entering the raffles.

The only hang up is, I'm not sure if the patch I want to make is intentionally left out of the free version or not. I will release support for it this week without the patch in the hope that the paid version supports it properly.

Thank you very much. :)

Using a third/fourth party to buy "credits" isn't versatile when running a large-scale raffle. I'm not asking you to reinvent the wheel at all... I'm just suggesting that when running a raffle or contest that collecting real funds upfront is imperative. Therefore, implementing Paypal to purchase tickets instantly would be fantastic. I would absolutely pay for a mod that did this.

Also, I'm unaware of any other raffle system like yours with management through the ACP.
