Never have used an IPS version of a raffle system since I started with the 4.x line - but I do have one on my XenForo site that is rather nice and has that ability. A few options that it has that are nice This allows for a "premium" type group to have more entries available than a "normal" user group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy Perry Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 3 minutes ago, Adriano Faria said: The issue I have with that setup is say I have users in both a Members group (primary) and a banned/limited (secondary). If I select Members and don't want the banned/limited group to be able to participate, then I cannot do that - since they are still a member of the "Members" group. By having an exclusionary ability it allows you to specifically exclude anyone in a secondary group that may be in the Primary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By having an exclusionary ability it allows you to specifically exclude anyone in a secondary group that may be in the Primary. User groups checks seconday groups as well. Members flagged as BANNED, of course, won't participate since they can't access the board. On IPS4, you ban via flag, not via group. If you're still doing this, you're doing it wrong. Anyway, this is already done, worked like that in prior version, which everyone else is familiarized with, and won't change. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry. Oh well, it just limits the ability of it then. Not everyone is stuck in the "stick everyone in one group" mode of thinking. Some of use actually use Secondary groups to "enhance' the primary (which is what it is basically designed for). Just another case of a "one way" mindset that I keep finding in IPS and it's long term users/admins/developers that I keep coming across. I use secondary groups as cumulative type permission sets - which is what I'm used to in XenForo (which is having a baseline set and then adding TO/subtracting from those baselines).

Adriano Faria Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 On 07/12/2016 at 8:55 AM, Adriano Faria said: I started to develop a Raffle System. One thing is for sure: Commerce will be required and PayPal won't be used as a payment gateway. Reason: users from the US are not allowed to run a raffle where you have to pay for the tickets unless you are registered as a non-profit organization, or have special authorization to do so. Same applies to the EU and other countries, and that's why Paypal is shutting accounts down. PayPal can also take actions against the accounts of people using the app, which could affect you financially. So, PayPal won't be an option. Read more: https://invisionpower.com/forums/topic/371882-hq-raffle-system/?do=findComment&comment=2516463 I decided to not do it anymore. It's not my problem if you will use PayPal or not. I'll leave it perfectly clear. It's up to the admin take or not the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sudo Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 It would be nice (although a bit of work) if you could do things similar to Rafflecopter where Tweets etc get you an extra entry but I understand that may be food for thought for a later version.

Cyboman Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I developed a special lottery idea 1 year ago but I can't code it myself. Unfortunately I don't have big amounts of money but I would be willing to sponsor a part (some 100 $) of it or we collect some bucks for realization. The concept is about 5-6 DINA4 pages in length. If anyone of the well known coders in this community is interested, please contact me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekforum Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 @ Adriano Faria Looking good. Is there going to be an option to upload multiple photos (multiple prizes) and then some way to add info for the user beneath each prize, like a description field. As I run multiple prizes per raffle and some of the prizes are only one if the member has a higher membership subscription, so I would need a way to let the members know what the standard prize is and what the bonus prizes are. p.s. any idea on release?

Adriano Faria Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I believe I will allow one image for each prize. Anyway, the description is an editor, so you can upload there and make it appear as you want inside the text. The initial ETA was now later Feb but due to a lot of things, including sickness, had to stop it for a while. So expect it for in march. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Schilling Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Thank you for doing this. I ran close to 400 raffles on the older version. The key with PayPal is not putting the word raffle in the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriano Faria Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 The app is not ready yet but in an advanced stage of its development, so I will do with it what I did with Classifieds. If you want to make part of its developement by suggesting and testing it (now on my server, later on yours), please drop me a PM. It will cost $35. So those who pay now WILL NOT have to pay again here on IPS; I will add a manual purchase for you. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adriano Faria Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Beta1 for IPS4.2 currently but sadly only one person is testing it and didn't report anything so I don't if it's really good or it's not being tested as it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Schilling Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 The current features available work good so far. A work around to the PayPal issue I used is implementing the Points Economy System. With my site we have "Tokens" as our currency. 1 Token = $0.01. Members are rewarded Tokens for various things. Additionally we made Tokens available for purchase in our store, 500 Tokens for $5.00. I set the payment method for raffles to only accept Tokens. This takes PayPal out of the equation (sort of) for raffle ticket purchases. With the old raffle system I twice ran into issues with PayPal. For anyone who will be using PayPal to process payments for raffle tickets the key is the wording in the title. Do not use words like Raffle, Win, etc. Title them similar to how you would in a store listing. I hope this helps anyone who is or is planning on using this great App. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
