Question about the lottery · **Released**: 08-17-2006

I just installed vbPlaza and I love it, but there's something that is truly driving me crazy.. It's something with the lottery. The date is totally incorrect. What did you put under 'Ending Time'?
Does it authomatically change (daily, weekly) or you have to change it manually everyday? I guess I did something wrong.. will anyone help me please???? I'm asking cause it doesn't work to me and I'm afraid something went bad..

Thanks in advance..
Lucy

You can set the ending date to whenever.. Once the scheduled task is run, it will close the lottery.

In the Time Active block, if set up for automatic resetting, will reset the ending date.

For a daily lottery, the Time Active Block is "86400". For for a weekly lottery its 86400 x 7days..

I'm guessing the cron job isn't running. So look into that area of your install.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
