Competitions

Competitions 2.3.0

No permission to buy (£50.00)
Separated out the permission to download competition opt-in CSV (on the archive page) from the general management permission to its own permission.
This enables the marketing team to download the opt-ins without giving them permissions to manage competitions.
For GDPR purposes, it's apparently required to have the date and time of the signup to a mailing list. The addition of that into the opt-in spreadsheet mitigates any potential GDPR issues.
  • Added automatic configuration for nodes to enable competition thread support on-the-fly (default=on).
  • Added options toggle to prevent auto node configuration (defaults to enabled)

The competition forum type needs to be enabled in a forum for a competition thread to correctly display tabs for the Competition and Discussion.
So we have added an admin option to automatically enable the competition type for a forum when a competition thread is created in it.
And we added the functionality to automatically enable competitions in forums on-the-fly when a competition thread is created there.
Admin is presented with an error if they try to create a competition where the thread's hosting forum does not have competition thread types enabled.
The 'no permission' to enter competition messages without any further information have been super annoying to us because members have been messaging us asking why they can't enter. That prompted this update.
Added the following new features:
  • Verbose error message support for territories. E.g. Eligible territories include: United Kingdom, France.
  • Verbose error message support for usergroup exclusion. E.g. You are a member of user group(s): Administrative
  • Verbose error message support for usergroup inclusion requirements. E.g. You are not a member of user group(s): Newsletter Subscriber
  • Admin toggles for verbose error message display.
  • Default allowed territories setting added in admin options.
  • Default minimum age setting added in admin options.
The marketing message wasn't being parsed. That's fixed in this version.
We also only support 2.2.x now.
