Well it's more like an improvement. But give credit where it is due to skipwater!

Skipwater,

I wanted to thank you for your cool mod and offer this improvement.
( See below and attachment )

I have submitted this to zen-cart for approval.

Update v1.6.1 09/19/09
By beasleybub

Edited: includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\templates\tpl_contest_default.php

Added: includes\languages\english\html_includes\YOUR_TEMPLATE\define_contestmustregiste r.php

When a customer is not logged in, Instead of seeing the "Contest Ended" page when a contest is currently active the customer or guest will now see an encouragement to log in or create an account in order to enter the contest.

Thanks again for the cool mod.

You are very welcome skip

Do you think you could take it a bit further by adding an actual login / create account link to the text?

That would be great!

Here is the newest version with a login link embedded.

Cheers

NOTE: v1-6-1 was built on v1-5, not v1-6, so is missing the features added in 1-6.

**skipwater** · 21 Sep 2009, 10:55 PM

beasleybub now that you have added these two new updates are you going to combine your two and then create 1.7? or are you going to wait for me to?

Because DrByte is right.

Hi skip,

You can do it if you would like. Ultimately it's your script :)

Drbyte, I added the new features to the last download that was offered in the free add ons section. ( That wasn't the most recent version? )

If it was not the latest version it would be easy to add my updates to any version of the script. Just copy the parts I added out and move them to the newest file.

Cheers

If you look at the downloads area you'll see that a 1.6 version exists before yours. You must have obtained your copy before that one was posted.

Skip,

Would you please take the new parts and add them to the latest version.

You can take credit if you would like. I just wanted to make a contribution to the zen community because it has offered so much to me and my father.

Thanks!

You did a good job and I feel that you are capable, to do the merge and updates. It is not my personality to take credit for something I did not do.

DrByte jumped in only to note something that I should have stated but missed.

Also my time is very tight right now and my head is around a new project.
So you would be helping me out if you could do it.

Thanks

Skip
