Stupid Question Alert

Is this supposed to automatically update the winner's list or is that a manual update?

If it is automatic, it isn't working for me and I have no idea why, lol.
If it is manual - is there an easy way to do it?

Also is there a way to display the winners list between contests?

Thank you!

Blessings,
Krisann

You must manually add to the winners list: Admin->Tools->Define Pages Editor
Select from drop drown define_contestwinner.php
Edit as needed

Also is there a way to display the winners list between contests?

If you are referring to when there is no contest running no.

Ah, the define pages editor, I didn't even think to look there.

Thank you!

Please consider adding a way to show previous winners when there is no current contest. I think it would be quite useful because currently no one can see the newest winner until I start a new contest.

Thanks again.

Hi there, can anyone help me, I have made a big mistake somewhere. I downloaded this contest add on from the add ons section, looked quite straight forward so i made the fatal error of not backing up (I know, I know, I am on dialup at the moment and was just too impatient) and gave it a whirl...I am using just the standard zen cart template, so for your template part i changed to classic. Anyways, it all appears to work absolutely fine, but I have noticed the New Products Listing, which used to appear on my main page has vanished. I dont know why its stopped working, any ideas at all?

Check if you have it active.
admin->configuration->index listing-> show new products on main page. = 1 to show

Hello, I only see the program under the reports heading in the admin... here is the code i'm getting when i open it from there:

1146 Table 'csvogner_zencart.contest' doesn't exist
in:
[SELECT contest_code, COUNT(contest_code) AS num_entries from contest group by contest_code ASC]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.




Can anyone help?
