Is there an option someplace I am missing to have the bar above the post that links back to the competition? Like the resource manager and the avforums site? The bar is there in the competition but not the post that was created. It is not showing up with the default theme also. I have gone through and disabled other addons to see if they were interacting but it still didn't show up.

Anyone else run into this?

Thanks!

Fixed in the newest update. Thank you!!

New features

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

Xenforo 2.2 forum type compatibility update

• 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 date & time to the opt-in spreadsheet export

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.

New admin permission

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.

My forum doesn't validate registration tokens. I don't think. I don't know anything about validating tokens. Not a thing.

You do though, the XenForo license validation token.

Do I? I had no idea.
Not had any reports of it not working until now.

 

[Ozzy47]

Sometimes the token don’t validate, I’ve had a few users that were unable to validate. Don’t happen often though.

A major update is coming very soon. It's running on AVForums now.

• Tabs on the competitions page to separate Open, Completed and (viewable with permission only) Unpublished competitions.

This looks really cool, and I have done many 'giveaway' style competitions on my forum. I also did two straight years of a monthly photo contest using the photo contest add-on from @AndyB. I'm curious, @Stuart Wright -- how would (you personally) use this add-on for a monthly photo contest? Typically, my members vote for the photos by reacting to the post with the photo in it. It works but it isn't the cleanest system.
