Contest System [support thread]

jailop492:

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.

In the admin side of contest when you click the button pick a winner you get the these options.

Only include validated entries: Yes/No
Only include eligible entries: Yes/No

If you select No even if they answered the question wrong that user would be in the drawing with a chance to win.

If you are looking to prompt the user for the correct answer. Then you will have to write that code into contest script.

Skip

I am running 1.5.1v and I have followed all the instructions and ensured all files were renamed accordingly. I cannot login to admin and I verified that I do have the folders in the correct location and yet I still receive this error. I can see the appropriate files on my FTP for my website. Any ideas?

*"ERROR file /home1/mycoolha/public_html/catalog/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/responsive_sheffield_blue/contest.php DOSE NOT EXIST
Check that you uploaded the file to the correct location.

Also in my error logs I get this ```php

Well I went through line by line and did a complete delete and reinstall. Don't know what happened the first time, but module allowed me to log in. So far, I don't need further assistance. Thank you

Can it be changed to allow for multiple entries? (as I type this I realized it might not be a good idea, but still the option would be nice)

Instead of A B C can it be set to use a checkbox or selection instead?

Is it supposed to send the customer a notification that they have been entered? That would be nice. Maybe even an email to admin that there is a new entry.

This is one of the best plugins I've ever installed on zencart. The code is clean and makes sense. Best of all, it just plain works as advertised. Please provide a way to send you a donation for the hardwork you put into this. Many thanks!

Just wanted to share a bit of code that will center the sidebox contents. I'm a stickler for alignment :)

in the stylesheet_contest.css, add:

#contestsideboxContent.sideBoxContent {
text-align: center;
}
