Contest System [support thread]

[jund]

Skip,

Thanks for your courteus reply. I do know that some folks have tried to attack the site... the owner does a TV reality show that intimidates some folks... maybe that could be the root of the issue. Anyway, not to worry. I still like your great add-on!

Hi , Is there any way to change the Meta-description title and description of this module, ?? Thanks

The module works fine but for some reason I don't see the define_contestwinner page when I go to Define Page Editor in Zencart, I would like to enter the winner names but for some reason I can not edit this file.

Any help would be great.

You should find it here:
/includes/languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/define_contestwinner.php

What version of ZC are you running?

In the drop down tools->define pages editor you should see define_contestwinner.php

I agree with you that I should see it but I don't, I have ZC 1.50. When I go to the directory you mentioned I see the file is there, in addition I see define_contest.php, define_contestend and few more files but when I go to Define Page Editor in zencart admin I only see the page define_contest.php, I am not seeing define_contestwinner.php.

I was able to edit the page manually and upload it to the directory you mentioned and I see the page live on the website when I click on List of Winners.

not sure what to do.

Having bigtime issues. I am running ZC151.

I have downloaded and installed, rechecked proper naming, no errors, all appeared to be good.

When I login to my site, I have no entries for a contest system.
In admin...I only have modules contest admin...it is enabled and all I can do is configure it...I have nothing listed as it mentions in the readme_install

Any help would be appreciated...Is this an issue with it wont work on v151???

I would appreciate if someone could help me modify the code for the contest entry page, below is the link to enter contest for our website.

http://www.aydincoins.com/index.php?main_page=contest

instead of having the text/link "Please Log In / register and try again."

Can we put the following two boxes https://www.aydincoins.com/index.php?main_page=login I think it would look much nicer on our site.

any help would be appreciated.

Everything seems to be working but people can enter contest no matter what answer key they put.

If they put wrong answer I want it to tell them to please try again that was incorrect or something like that.

Contest was setup to have a question or no question.

You should set the "Display a qualifying question to enter contest" to false in your admin.
This way there is no wrong answer.

I'm not sure what you mean by skip. I want to show question in order for person to be able to enter. Although right now whatever answer they put, no matter if they answer wrong they get put in contest. Instead of putting them in contest I want it to tell them please try again your answer was incorrect.
