You can specify the start date, end date, and the amount of points to give the poster for new threads vs new posts.I know it's not very pretty yet, but it's a very new mod and many more enhancements/addons to come.Click here to download this file
Volstate Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 So...you have to have a points system installed in your board to use this?
NathanR Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 No, it's stand alone at this point. It will work with you IP.Board. You define the points you want for new posts/new topics.
A.Koshelkov Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I think we need more customized polls, like where we can see I.P addresses. Option where we can change permission who can vote and etc, that will be awesome ready to pay up to 100$ for good Contest Application that will help my community and that will improve voting process.
NathanR Posted March 29, 2012 Author Posted March 29, 2012 Absolutely thanks for the reply. I plan on building it out and adding more features, just had to start somewhere :) One part I didn't understand, what would you use the customized polls and voting for? The contest is decided off who has the most new topics/new polls points.
A.Koshelkov Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 In our community we have a lot of Photoshop Contests. Basically user adding images in the posts and then we are adding polls for images - Image one, Image Two, Image Three. And if some one can create Contests like this http://www.worth1000.com/contests/28461/invisible-world-celebrities that will be awesome, and I will buy this application.
Volstate Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 I'm a little confused as to what this does. It only assigns points for posts and new topics? How is that a contest? Can you explain?
cheatmaster30 Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 I tried this earlier, and it seems to show an error whenever I fill in the fields on the get info file or whatever. Is it because the forum database uses a prefix for tables?

Is it because the forum database uses a prefix for tables? Could have been, I have since rewritten this as an IPB application so you don't have to worry about any of that anymore. It's under review right now and as soon as it's approved I will leave the link here to the next version. Feel free to follow development on it here as well: http://forums.developerbase.net/forum/133-power-contest/
NathanR Posted June 14, 2012 Author Posted June 14, 2012 I'm a little confused as to what this does. It only assigns points for posts and new topics? How is that a contest? Can you explain? The way I use it is that I run a contest for a free domain every two weeks. During that time I needed a way to track new posts and new topics by user on my forum for easy calculation of who the winner was. So with this you can enter a date range and the number of points a new post or new topic is worth (new topics on mine are worth more). Like I said above I have rewritten this as an IP.Board application now so it's much easier to install and configure. I will post a link as soon as it is approved in the IPB Marketplace. Feel free to follow development of this app and others here.
