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.

It would go before this line:
if($store_img=="1") {

Digital Dynasty, if your running Store 3.0 i believe this hack will not work with it.

That made it show up on my store page...but now when I click the link its blank on the next page.

I am having the same problem as DigitalDynasty. I set it up and didnt have those 2 lines. I followed xxxsaint's advice on where to put it and it all does good but when i click on it to buy it, it takes me to a blank screen and it doesnt buy it. please help asap

If you get a vBulletin Message box with nothing in it, you need to add an:
$error_message ="Oops, you don't have enough $pointname to buy a lottery ticket.";
before:
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate('store_error') ."\");");
because the store error template will be blank otherwise. -- I basically re-wrote the lottery code bit because it wouldn't work. :3

[MindTrix]

Put it after it

[Marzas]

does this hack work with the new Store hack 3?

[MindTrix]

Afraid not, However i believe Lesane will be porting it over soon

[Lesane]

Yes, a new store version will arrive soon with the lottery integration.

This thread can be closed now... *points to a mod/admin*
