Contest System [support thread]

Nevermind. I got it. I didn't notice that it said small image width and small image height in the tpl_contest_default.php. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks Skip. That was exactly what I was looking for. Is there a way to change the image size?

Look a couple lines down in the file and you will see.

echo zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $contest_prize->fields['products_image'], $contest_prize->fields['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH*2, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT*2);

Adjust to the size you want.

I'm trying to get this up and running on my test site, but I'm at a loss.

My shop is Norwegian so I had to rename all the /english to /norwegian, which works fine with other addons. But now it's a mess. The sidebox title is what you would expect to see if the language file was missing, same thing with the admin reports. And when I click on that, I get ...admin/FILENAME_STATS_PRIZE_DRAW.php and of course a "not found". To make it even worse, I get a blank page when I click on "enter our contest", with another language issue in the breadcrumb, saying Home :: NAVBAR_TITLE .

Doesn't this addon work in any other language besides English?

I know there are a fee places in the code that English is hard coded.
You will need to tweak it some to get it to work. In the readme_install.txt file it shows the list of languages files that are used.

Look at this file includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_contest_default.php this is the contest main page you will find "MSRP", "Click for Contest Rules text" etc. in this file.

Thanks, but now my store has flipped out and doesnt want to show properly and if i enter in a date in the admin for a contest to start its saying it was entered in 2036 so the contest is refusing to start.

Ive got this on 2 stores and the same thing has happened, it seems when the competition ends and is drawn it sets the dates to the year 2036 as when they were last updated.
