Lottery Addon For The Store Hack

Info:
This addon for the store hack gives you the ability to add a Lottery on your store. A lottery with the same principles as a normal lottery. Users buy a lottery ticket in the store and after the specified enddate you or any other admin execute the lottery script in the admincp wich search for a random user from the database and checks if the user bought a ticket and if so then he will receive the jackpot if not then the lottery stays online.

The jackpot will be increased with the amount of the lottery ticket everytime when a new member buy's a ticket.

What to do:
2 Query's: 1 new table, 1 new row.
3 File Edit's: Admin/Index.php, Store.php & Storeadmin.php
1 Template Edit: Store_bit
2 New Templates: store_lottery_error & store_lottery_updated

Some Features:
- A new action on the store: Lottery
- Winner will be picked randomly
- Winner will be pm'ed with a winner's message
- Losers will be pm'ed with a loser's message
- Define Start Date of the lottery
- Define End Date of the lottery
- Define title of the lottery
- Define the amount of a ticket
- Maximum of 1 Ticket Per User
- And more....

This lottery addon will only work with the latest version of the store hack and is compatible with any Vbulletin 2.*.* version.

Have fun with the addon,
Lesane.

Hope im allowed to post this here

This is from my Index.php

and i have the top 5 stats installed and this is just before the stats start.

// Top 5 Statistics BY NanoEntity
// Top 5 Posters


If you do a search in your index you can find the lines before the bit that displays the lotto amount as i have given you the few lines before it.

$lok=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM storelottery WHERE lotnumber='1'");
if ($aw[action]=='lottery') {
//if(!$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6) {
$lotname="";
$lottery="";
} else {
$lotname="Welcome To The $lok[lotname]";
$startdate=vbdate($dateformat,$lok[startdate]);
$enddate=vbdate($dateformat,$lok[enddate]);



$lottery="Money in jackpot: <b>$lok[jackpot]</b>";
$jackpot="Current Lottery Fund is now: <b>$lok[jackpot]</b>";
}

But all said and done top hack and i look forward to many more addons for this.

Search for this line for the pm to the losers:

PHP Code:

$pmloser="Dear Loser,\n\n You lost the lottery named $lotop[lotname]. The winner is: '$username' and the winner received a total of $kutje points.\n\n Good luck on any new upcoming lottery's.\n\n Thanks for your participation on this lottery."; 


And search for this line for the pm to the winners:

PHP Code:

$pmwinner="Congratulations $username,\n\n You won the lottery named $lotop[lotname]. Your amount of points is increased with $kutje points.\n\n Thanks for your participation on this lottery."; 


In the file, admin/storeadmin.php.
