Title: Contest Entry
Post by: Rus on August 15, 2007, 03:22:03 am
I have an idea for an item.

What about a contest entry?  I would like to have a contest on my site and to have entries in the shop would be awesome.  I have changed rock to contest entry for now but the fact that it says Unusable isnt really appealing.

Thanks.

Anything, that can be discussed in the boards as long as there are contest entries to purchase in the shop then it becomes universal.

It wont have a use for the holder, but if it could add to a counter somewhere to say who has how many entries then a name can be picked and declared winner.

I just thought of that today, yes a counter would be lovely.  Say user X has 3 entries, user Y has 1, user Z has 5 and now pick a winner out of the 9 entries.

Could the voucher mod be changed somehow to allow this? With the recent added code to that mod you are able to tell who has what voucher when they have redeemed it.

I don't think the voucher mod can do something like that... its there to give you stuff, not buy stuff...

and umm... yeah... a package could b made into that... I'll think about it next week...

Well I don't mean the voucher mod itself, but the part of the code you added to it where when you use a multiple voucher it shows in the admin who all has claimed a voucher.

Couldn't that in a way be deemed as a counter to list names of everyone who has bought a certain "contest entry" from the shop?

So you would have a shop item called say "Contest Entry" and when someone buys one it list the name in a box (just as the voucher mod does) who has bought a ticket.

When the same person buys another ticket, the mod could check for previously bought tickets, and add perhaps a "x2" or "x3" etc etc beside their name.

I think I would make it check for all the different items considered... "Contest Items"... Then...

It would list the owners names under each item... yeah i guess it could b grouped like that... If I had the time I would make it... But i really want to finish one of the releases of the lottery mod... So unless someone else makes it, I wont make it until after I finished at least the "Work along" lottery mod...

I'm still learning PHP, I'm not far enough to start making anything own my own I can just edit things at the moment. Slow progress, but I am getting to it. :-)
