Contest Hack -- Points hack addon · **Released**: 06-20-2002

This is basically a hack addon to the points hack that allows users to use their points, similar to the lottery hack by Lesane for the store hack, to purchase tickets that can be used in random (or rigged.

) drawings.

It has a decent admin cp interface, letting you edit/modify/delete contests, etc. and also has the option to pick a random winner.

Here's install instructions...

1. Run these SQL statements:

Code:

CREATE TABLE `contest_contests` (
`id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, 
`name` TEXT NOT NULL, 
`price` TEXT NOT NULL, 
`open` TEXT NOT NULL, 
`winner` TEXT NOT NULL,
INDEX (`id`)
);

CREATE TABLE `contest_entries` (
`id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, 
`userid` TEXT NOT NULL, 
`contestid` TEXT NOT NULL,
INDEX (`id`)
);

2. Download the zip and replace your original points.php file in your mod directory with the updated one.

3. Extract contest.php to your forum directory.

4. In admin/index.php:

Find:

Code:

makenavoption("New Posts","../mod/moderate.php?action=posts","<br>");
makenavoption("New Attachments","../mod/moderate.php?action=attachments");
makenavselect("Moderation","<hr>");

Add after:

Code:

// *************************************************
makenavoption("Add","../mod/points.php?action=newcontest","|");
makenavoption("Modify","../mod/points.php?action=modifycontest", "|");
makenavoption("Draw","../mod/points.php?action=drawwinners", "|");
makenavoption("Past Winners","../mod/points.php?action=viewwinners");
makenavselect("Contests");

5. Enjoy!:bunny:

P.S.: This originally started as a hack I custom-wrote for a forum, but after some consideration, I decided to release it here to everybody.

Links and Donations are greatly appreciated.

P.P.S.: This is my first hack that's released here, so if you see problems, be sure to let me know.

Yeah, I figured that after I wrote it for your forum, waiting a few months would be long enough for you to get a head start.
