You need to fill the userid in "Poster userid" field and the threadid in "Topic" field.

WooHoo! Thank you very Much!

Couple things to Note, I lost all lottery tickets when I Updated, I thought ahead and print screened all tickets gotten before upgrade then logged in as each user and gave them their ticket again. Also After Update Make sure you set the scheduled task again.

Bug: See all tickets option took me back to my main page and I could no longer see who all had a ticket any more.
Changed jlottery_shell template and put lottery.php in front of ?do=alltickets so it will look like this href="lottery.php?do=alltickets">$vbphrase[jlottery_seeall]</a>
I also had to do the same for the Menu Option home to just go back to the Lottery page instead of the Site Home page.
I also Made the Same change to Reset just in case it also had same issue as the other 2 options.

Bug: Lottery was stating 1 user out of 10 tickets or 14 users out of 10 tickets , so I went into lottery.php and changed 10 to 100 and now it displays correctly the 14 users out of 14 tickets or 5 users out of 5 tickets.

Bug: Only Showing 2 of the 14 users in the proper Usergroup Coloring http://i34.tinypic.com/2nb5cgm.jpg.
This worked perfectly before the update. Version 1 : http://i36.tinypic.com/ivuyj5.jpg
As you can see the Ver 1 was ?do=all and showed things perfectly in Ver 2 you will see the Usergrp Color Markup is not working right plus the number of tickets should all be 1 and the User Ticket Number does Not show up to the left of their name. Anyway you can fix the Show All too Look more like your Version 1?

Not sure if this is an issue but when I installed the update and checked I could see a reset option under menu. But When I started adding the tickets back in for the users the reset lottery option went away. I am assuming it will show back up after the scheduled task runs tomorrow night? If Not I will Let you Know.
Ok Choosing more than one user group for rest IE: 5,6 or 5, 6 makes the Reset feature not Show Up. I changed it to just 1 usergroup and the reset shows Back up.

Thanks again for a Great Mod!

After version 2.0.0, updates will have to delete the tickets, to not have problems with incompatibility in the database.
I fixed it now. Who already has the version 2.0.0 or above, the tickets will not be reset.

You can stop the problem just by disabling the option of rounding.

Consertado na 2.1.3.

[kalisekj]

Thank you For fixing everything, The all tickets view is now showing the usergroup color mark up like it should. Although Ticket # is still not showing to the left of usernames that have a ticket. Unless Tickets Column is supposed to be Ticket Number and not Number of tickets the user has, for in case a person enabled Multiple tickets allowed per user in a month.

Thank You

[NTMID8]

Thanks for picking this back up. I'll check it out again ASAP.

I have a formatting issue with the footer as seen in the attached screen shot. The time stamp is not wrapping correctly. Though this phrase is part of the footer template, it only has this issue on the lottery.php page, so I'm sure it is formatting with this mod. I've looked, but don't seem to see the issue.
