[OzzModz] Raffles for XenForo

[OzzModz] Raffles for XenForo [Paid] 2.0.15

No permission to buy ($30.00)
Fixed: A version mismatch on some of the templates causing outdated template warnings.
This fixed our issue. Thanks.
Fixed: A bug where users could view or enter a raffle if it hasn't started yet.
This didn't actually fix the issue. We want the members to be able to see the raffle page, even if it didn't start. The restriction should be in joining the raffle not seeing the page itself.

Also, another issue... the IP's when clicking the Enter button isn't logged anywhere. This means that we can't prevent cheating. Maybe you can add the IP's "View entries" page alongside the usernames.

Raffles have never been able to be viewed by regular members (except for the bug found) before they start.

Entries aren't keyed on IP addresses, they are keyed by user ID. So there is no need to record IP addresses. If you have users joining with different names to be able to enter a raffle, that's a security problem you need to handle. Beside that, IP addresses can be shared by multiple unrelated users. Not everyone has a static IP address. At least that's my take on it, it's up to Ozzy if he wants to change that.
 
Due to the tragedy everyone in the world is facing, this product is reduced by 20%. The price is updated and there is no need for a coupon.
Very gracious of you. I will consider this offer as I previously expressed interest in this.

I, myself, have $1100 plane tickets and a $220 hotel up in the air right now, bought February 1, under a no-cancellation policy... it's up in the air :cautious:. I might just be a little guy out $1300 because I didn't purchase the additional service because I never intended on canceling.
 
Does anyone have this running currently? I just purchased this, but would like to see an example.. thanks!
 
Hi Ozzy/Snog,

Replied to you directly on your website in the convo we were having. Never heard back from you so thought i'd write it on here being the more official support channel.

From 9th of May I messaged you;

Thanks mate. Got it and tried it out. Very nice addon. One thing you may want to update for DB Credits. It doesnt use dbtech_credits_credits. It uses what you named the credits in the Column options of DB credits. In my instance this was dollarydoos.

Couple of questions:
Is the raffle only drawn manually or does a cron job do it every X hours?
As for crediting this users their wins, this appears to not be automated, is that correct? Does the admin need to credit the winners manually?

Also, a nice update would be for threads and private convos to tell the user how much they won, is this something you are planning for an update? Cheers.

That name is just a sample of what can be used. And unless something has changed, dbtech_credits_credits is the default value for that add-on. If you named the credits something else, then yes you would use that name.
Is the raffle only drawn manually or does a cron job do it every X hours?
A cron task runs every 5 minutes. There's no need to draw manually.

Yes, any awards for a raffle need to be done manually.
Also, a nice update would be for threads and private convos to tell the user how much they won, is this something you are planning for an update?
You can already do this in the Winner thread or the Winner PC that is optionally sent to the winner.

It's up to Ozzy if he wants to make any changes to that.

Thanks for getting back to me. Awesome add-on.
 
Can members create their own raffles/giveaways?

Can someone provide me with a screenshot of how it looks in the front end?

Thanks!
