Contest System [support thread]

[DivaVocals]

I am using version 1.38a. Upgraded from 1.37. I installed contest system and it seems to be working, but I cannot modify the text on the box(BOX_HEADING_CONTEST_), or the HEADING_TITLE. I am not the greatest at solving problems, but I think I have made a fine site with your software. Excellent job guys. But I cannot change the text. Attached is .jpg of what I am talking about. I'm sure it is something simple, but I'm used to that. Also where it should state to enter your e-mail adress, is says, (FORM_FIELD_ENTRY_EMAIL). Any response would be great, thanks. I have it turned off for now until I can get it working correctly.

Simple.. You haven't uploaded all the module files.. Specifically the language files..

I have removed every file on the list in the readme, and still no luck. I will download unzip, and install again. I followed the instructions perfectly.

Did you re-name all the YOUR_TEMPLATE folders as per the readme??

At first look you are loading the contest page twice. How this is happening I can't tell.
Do a test. Load the default template for the site and see if this fixes the layout.
Also double check that all the contest files where uploaded to the correct folders.

I why would it run twice, can I change the stylesheet to reduce the size of the table. it may just be encroaching on the sidebars

You have something not setup properly because if "Contest has Ended" is showing and then below that a contest with the admin error showing, that is not right.

Again I would just say double check the install.

Technically the center content should just fit into the section where the center content goes. You can adjust the size of the contest content by adding styles for the ID that controls the contest page center content without affecting the other pages of your site, but it's strange that you have to do this at all..

Can you send me a link of a any example site, so I can see what it should look like

Skip is right.. You do not have something installed right.. Changing the CSS isn't going to fix this.. I suspect that if you double check your install that it will resolve all of the display issues you are having..

This is how your contest page should look if "Contest has Ended" is showing..
