Contest System [support thread]

[skipwater]

Hi, when going to contest page the right side and footer disappears. I've looked and can't find a fix any help?

Thank you for the link.

This updated file will fix right side boxes and footer showing when users must be logged in to enter contest.
In the zip file is tpl_contest_default.php replace the original file with this one.
You will find the file location here includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_contest_default.php

Note: With this updated tpl_contest_default.php file you will need to be running PHP 5 >= 5.3.0

running dual php
.hatccess
Action application/x-hg-php53 /cgi-sys/php53
AddType application/x-hg-php53 .php

now I'm getting
Warning: strtotime() [function.strtotime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/New_York' for 'EST/-5.0/no DST' instead in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx/login.php on line 13

Contest normally only checks to see if a user is logged in. So not sure why you would get that error from contest.

Look in your zen cart cache folder and see if you have any error files. And if so what do they say.

If you turn off the contest do you still get the error?

I think it is dealing with this
.hatccess
Action application/x-hg-php53 /cgi-sys/php53
AddType application/x-hg-php53 .php

The file name is .htaccess right not .hatccess

It is the setup of Hostgator that needs the fix here is a link that might fix it for you our contact tech support.

I have just downloaded the 1.7 version and I am excited about using this module, however I can not locate the install-sql-contest-v1.7.php file. It does not appear to be a part of the download.

Thank you for your help.

You must be running ZC 1.5 to use Contest version 1.7
The Contest System will complete the install for you no longer needing a sql patch file.

Once you have uploaded all the files to there proper locations. You just need to log in to your ZC admin and the installation will complete itself.
Follow any screen instructions that might appear.
