@adroussel:

So the CB Plugin won`t fit to the joomla 1.0 Module since you said for Module 1.2 and above?

Ah one more time we have to wait

OK here's the latest version for j1.0.x. The code isn't as clean as I would like it but all features seem to be working from the newest version for j1.5 including the CBplugin.

I have also added a new feature for this version. While the contest is in progress it will display the top three current participants with trophys next to their names. This was adapted from Stevometer's contest module.

You can see it here: PT Cruiser Alliance Arcade

Again use it at your own risk, I'm learning as I go with the coding.

@tinker :

Wow, tinker you make me happy with this new Module for joomla 1.0

I checked out the provided Link you gave and it looks real nice. As soon as i`m @ Home i will install it and let you know how it works on my Site.

Great Work and thank you very much for taking Action for joomla 1.0

Greetings Tina123

Hey guys
thanks!

I added the top3 table also as an option to the now v1.3 mod_contestofthemonth for j1.5. I made it an option to choose between 1 (as before) or 3 top scores without the one that was on.
I added contentheading classes to the table rows and designed other 2nd and 3rd places gif to make sure they're not smiling ))
I also stopped using mysql_query...


I went to your site and the shoutbox seems to be shouting and shouting again for new contest check out probably a bug that could have been on v1.2 where parameters updates only happened after score deletion and not if only shoutbox is set... Now it should be ok. but keep on testing...

download the new version from same link on the top of this topic.
It's now bundled with th cb plugin so unzip first.

file not found

oups sorry... just published again now

oups hold on it's destroying my template on IE!!

OK FIxed

just syncing up the j1.0 version to adroussels 1.3 release. you'll need to get the CBplugin seperately. file removed a fixed version will be up shortly

Hello Everyone,

Is this only used with the RISP Shoutbox? I currently use Ajax shoutbox.

i would like also to have users to be able to keep their medals so people can see users have medal awards. this will want users to keep playing the contest. im not a coder but i believe this can be done. any thoughts of anyone doing this.

thank you Adroussel for creating this,

VR

yes you mean this ajax shoutbox?
http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,43/Itemid,35/

It is the one from RISP for joomla 1.5

The contestofthemonth module for joomla 1.5 works with this shoutbox.

For the multiple medals, hmm okay I will add the choice for the next version.

but I need people to test the 1.3 one to make sure I didn't miss a bug

have fun!

yes the Ajax Shoutbox i got the link from the joomla extension.

thanks Adroussel i will be looking forward for that new version.

i will test your new 1.3 version soon.

also what is RISP? sorry for a dumb question.


thanks again,


VR

Sorry tinker, but I have tried this Version without Luck.

if i start a Contest it starts fine. But when the Contest finishes no Medal will be given to a Player. It is not showing "Contest over" Info. It just stays on the Pic where you can see the ulticounter-Time it shows

time left
00:00:00

instead of "Contest over". But the Time for the Contest is over so it should switch to "Contest over" and give the Medal to the Player

I tried it with your Version conestoftheMonth_1 (the one before) and there everything works fine. But i can`t select 1 or 3 Players to be shown in this Version.

Maybe you can check this , plz ?

My biggest Thx in Advance

So much for trying to rush out an update before starting my day
I've repaired the issues, however; I've now found a bug when using the score deletion which is causing the contest to immediately end. Once I get that worked out I'll put up a new package.

hmm ok, is this new bug after score deletion also in the j1.5 version?
the v1.3 module? I'm pretty sure I've tested the score deletion witout issues... let me know

Not what I thought at first with the j1.0 version. Contest is ending after refresh of page after contest starts regardless of scores deletion or shout settings. Something on my end but at a loss ATM. Possibly the change to $query from mysql_query causing problem in j1.0? not sure

this bug is not in j1.5 version

QUOTE:

I doubt it but in that case you can try with the mysql_query back from an older version, but make sure when the module tryes to autoupdate by itself (after contest start and after contest over) that it sends every parameter in the correct order. If one is missing it won't update status and keep on repeating the same action.

if your contest ends just after starting it could be that your code is sending gameid=null after contest start...
it could be many other things...

Yes, I think your last statement is it! I've been testing with a 5 minute or less contest. I now extended it to 30 days and it seems to be working correctly.

it was not a bug then
