Was the lottery supposed to create a new Scheduled Task?

Once vbPlaza is installed, was that supposed to create a new scheduled task to perform for the lottery's?

I ask because I was testing a lottery, and it didn't end, and it's past the end date and it is still acting as if it is open. And I have no scheduled tasks that run anything for lottery's.

I set it to run whenever my Lottery is supposed to run. I have two daily lotteries and one weekly.

LilMora, go to your Admin CP > vbplaza Lottery > Manage Lotteries> Pick your Lottery>Ending time > Adjust the date and time. It should do it on its own from there. Do this for each Lottery.

Thankyou, this was very helpful! and worked like a charm for me.

what am I supposed to set it up to make one go every day and one every week? I've tried several different settings and it still isn't working.

Should I create a second scheduled task for the weekly lottery?

This worked for my daily lottery but now how would i do this for my weekly lottery?

I dont get this am running a weekly and daily lottery yet u can only use 1 var name what am I doing.

Am I right in thinking I just create a one task and then set the dates via the lottery option on vbplazar and then manually run it each day myself and it will automatically setect which lottery it is.

Sorry that probably made no sense all am saying is u can only create 1 varname for the lottery task u can create duplicaqtes so what do we do if we run daily lotteries??

Anybody know how?

Yea I figured it out and it works like a charm for me now.

Basically follow all the steps above of creating a new scheduled task enter all the information the varname etc etc as staed above.

Then when it asks u the date and time to set for the scheduled task instead of entering a time make sure all fields are filled out with the * star ****** sign and the click submit then to set the date and time go to your VBPlaza lottery on your admincp and then set the date and time from there now ur scheduled task is set up it should run fine and you should have a perfect lottery.

Remember all dates and times on the scheduled task just fill them with the ***** symbol you only need 1 scheduled task and it will process ur weekly and daily lottery for you.

If you dont know what I mean message me or email me or reply here and I will get some screenshots up for you.

Hope that helps
