Competitions for XenForo [Deleted]

[John L.]

How do I download updates again?

 

[Chris D]

From the update notes:

"You should receive an email shortly which contains your download link. If you already have a download link from a previous email, this will download the new version."

Chris D updated Competitions for XenForo with a new update entry

Awesome update, thanks to @wmtech and @HWS too, much appreciated.

 

[Chris D]

Weird.

I've somehow managed to get some files crossed so I've just re-done the package and re-sent it out. Could you download it again (an earlier download link is fine) and re-upload the files and try again, please?

 

[Kirk]

I still haven't received an email Chris

 

[Mouth]

I still haven't received an email Chris

Myself also, and previous email link has now expired.

 

[Chris D]

[Kirk]

Got it now @Chris D . Thanks again <3

How do you remove individual entries from the competition?

How do you remove individual entries from the competition?

On the Competition archive, click on the number of entries.

 

[CMGDevel]

Yeah that gets me to the page that shows all the registrants but I don't see anything to remove individuals anywhere.

Go to admin cp, set usergroup permissions for that to admins

 

[CMGDevel]

It was a permissions thing....nevermind

Is there way to ask money from users to take place in a competition like a lottery?

 

[Chris D]

Sort of.

For each competition you can specify a user group that can enter the competition.

So, you could set up a user upgrade for each competition. Purchasing that user upgrade promotes you into a certain user group. That user group can enter the competition.

 

[ogirginc]

That's pretty hard, if there are more than one competition.

 

[Chris D]

It takes a minute to set up a user upgrade. Another minute to set up a user group. About 5 seconds to select that user group to be eligible to enter a competition. Can't be much easier than that

Sorry for not being clear enough. I was not talking about setting up an user group.

The hard part is explaining the process to users. Most of them will get confused a lot. You may think it's not confusing (and I agree), but there are users that can't even tag an username!
However, lets say I explained each time they got confused, but I just checked the video and if I am not mistaken, I can't give different user permissions for different competitions, right?

@Chris D loving this mod. I have it installed at www.ducatiforum.co.uk/forum

I need to move the competition navigation tab over though to the far right. What would be the way to do this?

Thanks.

Rob.

 

[Chris D]

It can only be done with a code edit or an add-on.

There is an add-on that does this:
https://xenforo.com/community/resources/navigation-tabs-by-waindigo.3660/

Or you would need to edit the file:

library/AVForums/Competitions/Listener.php

I haven't got the code on this PC, but vaguely I think you need to find the word "middle" and change it to "end". Another valid position is "home".
