Hello

This is a little module I just made for my needs, some of you might like it. Here is the description:

PU Contest ot the month module, is a very simple module that allows you to set one PUARCADE (www.pragmaticutopia.com) game for contest for a set period of time. It displays the picture of the game, the score and the username of the leader with a link to his COMMUNITY BUILDER profile. It supports JAWARDS and can automatically set a Medal to the winner when contest time is over. It also resets module's time parameters and set gameid to null when contest is over and only displays a link to the won medal. This 1.2 version, has the option to delete a game scores at contest launch, it allows to display or not the medal picture, and it shouts in RISP SHOUTBOX for new contest as for new champion. Now contests histroy can be archived as articles in a Joomla content category. This module used some elements from Ulti Counter Module from ultijoomla.com, some others from PU Featured Game from steve-o-meter.com, and some custom dev. it's Joomla 1.5 native.

version 1.3 new features:
- option to display a top 3 hiscore table (From a steve-o-meter.com)
thks Steve! .. and Tinker
- use of setquery instead of mysql_query
- module autoupdate bugfix
- bundled with cbplugin so unzipfirst the package

version 1.2 new features:
- now also shouts for new contest as for new champion.
- Option to delete scores on contest start
- Option to dispaly or not medal pic in Jawards support
- Now contests histroy can be archived as articles in a joomla content category

Bug report, comments & suggestions welcome!

Very nice Function

Would it be possible that you could also do one for joomla 1.0xx ?? I already have jawards on my Site but with a bit different Function...this sounds very interesting to me

Greetings Tina123

good work! that's interesting for me too... especially a joomla 1.0x version...

Nice work adroussel.

Ok I have just uploaded the same version WITHOUT the Internet Explorer Javascript bug. So now it's working fine! ... on joomla 1.5.

SOrry I won't make a joomla 1.015 version because I have no more j1.015 installation to test, and I think it would be more productive for those on j1.015 to work on migrating their installation to 1.5 as soon as possible, than me reinstalling a 1.015 to work on a 1.015 module version.

Sad News

Really would like to integrate your Module....but i won`t upgrade just because of 1 Module and i`m pretty sure a lot more People running PUArcade on joomla 1.0.xx than on joomla 1.5
But i understand your Point of view that you don`t want to make a Test-Install for just this Module.

Anyway it is a great Function and you made a nice Job on it.

Greetings Tina123

Indeed bad news, it's also possible to make a homeserver
example xampp

or easyphp...

The module has been a lot improved. It's now version 1.1

- now the module doesn't unpublish the game anymore when contest is over: the time module parameters are reset and gameid removed and the module diplays a 'contest over message'.

- Now supports RISP SHOUTBOX and shouts for contest winner and medal atribution

- Displays the contest JAWARDS medal next to the game picture
- JAWARDS Medal Atribution date fixed
- Code improved

Enjoy

ps: some thread on this forum discribes the joomla 1.5 migration process for puarcade and CB

Migration is not an option for everyone. My site for example has many custom made components and modules that I can't afford to have redone. The latest and greatest version of something doesn't make it the one to have. I do have a 1.5 site and to be honest I can't see what all the hype is about for upgrading...it isn't all that. Fixed some issues created others..shinny new wrapper.

I agree with Tinker... I will continue using joomla 1.0x for a long time again, for the same reasons...

the module works great for me! Very cool! It does one thing strange however. It messes up my template. It expands whatever is below the module to fit my screen. If its if the css is only set for a fluid template. Anyway, take a look if you want: knoxyouth.org
you must login to see the module. It's on the bottom right.
