echo '<tr class="dataTableRow" onmouseover="rowOverEffect(this)" onmouseout="rowOutEffect(this)" onclick="document.location.href='. zen_href_link(FILENAME_STATS_PRIZE_DRAW, 'action=' . $referrals_query->fields['contest_code']). '" nbsp;nbsp;('. $referrals_query->fields['num_entries'].')">';

I think that the correct code should be

echo '<tr class="dataTableRow" onmouseover="rowOverEffect(this)" onmouseout="rowOutEffect(this)" onclick="document.location.href=\''. zen_href_link(FILENAME_STATS_PRIZE_DRAW, 'action=' . $referrals_query->fields['contest_code']). '\'">';

when you click that link, it was supposed to see previus contests, right?
Thanks

Thank you!
Unfortunately changed nothing. I click on the link and I'm redirected to
/admin/stats_prize_draw.php?action=004 (4)
but doesn't seems to change anything on the screen, I can only see the latest contest

The code you are referencing is used for pagination that is not used at this time.

The only access that you have to old contest data is from the Tools->Send Email->Customer drop down->All Contest Contestants.

Other then that you would need to use phpmyadmin or similar sql utility.

I have a custom template with custom buttons ( ie boxhead-categories etc ) for my sideboxes. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what code and file I would need to use to make the contest sidebox with a custom button to match my template.
Thanks!

You should not have to do anything to make your contest side box look just like the rest of your site.

The only custom buttons are in the admin section so only you would see them.
The button images are located in your-admin/includes/languages/english/images/buttons folder.

I am not sure why its so hard for me to explain what I mean. My buttons are in my custom folder includes\templates\mytemplate\buttons\english . When I add the contest side box it only shows text. With my other side boxes like my category side box its boxhead-categories.gif so what I need to know how to add a gif to my contest side box.
Does that make better sense?
Thanks :)

The file you are looking for is /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_contest_sidebox.php.
You will need to look at one of your other tpl_ files in the same folder and see how they are loading the image you need.
Then you will edit tpl_contest_sidebox.php to load the image.

Make a backup of tpl_contest_sidebox.php before you edit.

Hello,

Thank you for this fantastic module.

Can you tell me if it is possible to have a captcha on the contest page to stop bots from entering the competitions when guests can enter?

Thank you
Anthony

Thank you

That is why there is the 'Display a qualifying question to enter contest ' option. Bots will not answer the question correctly and when they enter the contest they will be marked as invalidated.
