When you run install-sql-contest-v1.6.4.php you are logged in your zen cart admin?

And install-sql-contest-v1.6.4.php is in the admin folder?

I was logged in to the admin side.

I logged out and logged back in just to see.

I used Core FTP to upload the files to the site, and I have confirmed the presence of the install-sql-contest-v1.6.4.php file in the admin directory.

Thank you again for your help.

I have a question and i went through all the threads but didn't find an answer to it. I have custom headers for my sideboxes but the contest mod doesn't have the same header. You can see what I mean here:
http://oscrapshack.com/index.php?main_page=

Is there somewhere that i need to change that in the contest files? Any help would be appreciated.

You should change tpl_contest_sidebox.php to match the need header information in your template sideboxs.

You will find tpl_contest_sidebox.php in your /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes folder.

PLEASE HELP!

Currently running ZC 1.5 & Contest System 1.7.

Under Contest Entries Admin, I select one of the contests, but no Entrant information is displayed under:
"Entrants Name Email Address IP Address Date Entered Validated Exclude Entry Delete"
However, under the heading where I select a particular contest, data does appear to exist (i.e.
Contest Code 001, Num of Entries 2345, Purge Entries DELETE

1. In your template folder you have a sidebox folder?
2. tpl_contest_sidebox.php file is in that folder?
3. Should look like this: root/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_contest_sidebox.php

4. You should find the define_contestwinner.php file in your root/includes/languages\english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/define_contestwinner.php

To sum it up it sounds like the files did not make it to your correct template folders.

YOUR_TEMPLATE == the name of your template folder.

When you select Modules->Contest Entries Admin

There should be a link upper right that states Setup/Configure Your Contest

In this new window is where you would setup your new contest.

Once a contest is completed you no longer have access to the information other then 1. Send emails to the contestants using the Tools->Send Emails 2. Delete all contestants records.
