Bailey Day Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Hello, I'm having trouble removing members from the giveaway. Is there a permission somewhere I missed that I need to enable to do that?

Adriano Faria Posted June 10, 2018 Author Posted June 10, 2018 ACP -> Members -> Staff -> Moderators -> edit the group or the moderator -> Raffles. But the error is about not finding the raffle you’re trying to view. If it insists, send a PM with credentials to your board. I’ll take a look tomorrow in the morning.

The error is right since you don't have any raffles: So I gone to the Moderators log and didn't find who deleted it but I found it on the Administrator Logs: The admin 'Wolf' deleted the raffle.
Cyboman Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) Questions If I "lock" a raffle or a giveaway, can I still add members, and will the winners of the raffle/giveaway be drawn at the expiry date and notified? -> Reason: I want to have raffles/giveaways "on invitation only". As there is no option for this, maybe "locking the raffle" will work and I can add members manually Suggestions Please add a function to "ban a member from" (A) a specified raffle and (B) all raffles -> Reason: My members have to fulfil additional requirements, not listed in your limitations filter. If they lie and still receive a ticket, then I want to ban them from either "this raffle" or "all raffles" Additional filters: # limit by followers count (following members) # limit by the new bulk email opt-in filter (which has officially been implemented to the IPS core since IPS 4.3.4) # has added a post to a specified forum? # has been awarded with an iAward (or an iAward in a special iAward category) # has received reactions in a specified timeframe (f.e. has gained 25 positive reactions in a week) <- this would have a massive user engagement impact. Make the "show filter" option for the participations requirements a setting per raffle/per giveaway (NOT a global setting) -> Reason: Sometimes, it makes sense to show such a filter, but in many times it just makes no sense Template elements order changes in raffle/giveaway detail view: Currently, first the header is displayed (cover image, title), then the filter segment, then the description, then participants, then the prizes. I think this is not ideal, as the most important information are THE PRIZES (which are down at the bottom of the page! but should be displayed on top!) I'd suggest to change the template to 1# header2# prizes & random participants 3# filter 4# description Insert an option to NOT show the "giveaway" or "raffle" badge on index -> Reason: I don't have (paid) raffles to offer, only free giveaways. As everything is free, the badge has no need to show. It even disturbs the look of the cover image. There should be an option to remove the badge completely. Bugs In the category configuration, if I select the types that can be created (free giveaways and/or paid raffles), it always shows both fields for terms and conditions -> It should only display the field for the allowed types, not the field for a disallowed type In the category configuration, the fields "terms & conditions" are not saved -> Don't know when and why it happens, but if I enter raffle category terms & conditions and save them, after a few days, they disappeared. I tested this several times in my installation. Edited July 18, 2018 by Cyboman
Adriano Faria Posted July 18, 2018 Author Posted July 18, 2018 Regarding your question, there are 3 conditions to a raffle/giveaway be completed and winners picked: be open not be expired not be completed If you don't want people to participate in a raffle/giveaway, then simply don't let them participate by removing the category permission: You can still add them manually. 55 minutes ago, Cyboman said: In the category configuration, if I select the types that can be created (free giveaways and/or paid raffles), it always shows both fields for terms and conditions -> It should only display the field for the allowed types, not the field for a disallowed type You mean, select RAFFLE here: And not appear GIVEAWAY here: ? That's it? No, definitely not a bug; that's how it was made. I can hide it in next version if that really annoys you... For now, you can simply ignore it. It's not a required field. 57 minutes ago, Cyboman said: In the category configuration, the fields "terms & conditions" are not saved -> Don't know when and why it happens, but if I enter raffle category terms & conditions and save them, after a few days, they disappeared. I tested this several times in my installation. "Don't know when and why" says it all. I can't confirm it. Works fine in my installs. It is saved in a language bit together with category title and description, so I would expect that title and description would be "vanished" sometimes. Do they? Regarding suggestion, I'll take a look when I'll do a big update... that won't be for now.

Yes, I can't confirm either, if I newly add the terms and save. I just did it again and they saved successfully (for now, as always, but only for now). I'll recheck later and tomorrow, as this really happened multiple times, that the terms & conditions vanish. Title and description don't vanish. Maybe this is due to a translation error? or an editor error, that they get overwritten somehow when reconfiguring the categories? I will keep an eye on this now and inform you, if I have any clues what could cause this issue. ? Thanks.

Do they? Confirmed again. (unfortunately) Yesterday, I entered (test) terms and conditions for ALL categories for BOTH fields (giveaway and raffles) and they saved correctly. I reopened several times to check if they are still there and they were... Today - and I did NOTHING to the category configurations in between - ALL terms & conditions in these fields in all categories have vanished again. Maybe this information concerning my personal setup helps: the raffles app is only allowed for admins on the app permission level (due to testing before release) I'm using a complete translation of the app (and I already know that IPS translations cause a lot of errors due to the buggy translation system…) I added and edited giveaways in the frontend

ahc Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 @Adriano Faria Hey Adriano! I've encountered a template issue that I'm not entirely sure of how long it's been acting up, but it was brought to my attention when a member attempted to do a giveaway in their club. There are no issues with setting up the giveaway and whatnot, but after it's created, if anyone clicks on it, we receive this error:[[Template raffles/front/view/view is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]] I've tried to do some of my own troubleshooting by switching to the default theme and uploading a fresh copy, but the template error still persists. My website uses 4.3.5 with all patches.
Adriano Faria Posted August 20, 2018 Author Posted August 20, 2018 Ok, I’ll make some tests tomorrow in the morning. ahc 1

BradTBP Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 Hi Adriano, I was experiencing problems that no solutions that no suggestions or enhancements have been offered to fix, so I deleted Raffles and tried to reinstall, now I have an error once I try to add a raffle. Can you please tell me, considering I have deleted Raffles, what steps I should take to re-install and hopefully have it work? Thanks, Brad
beats23 Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 Does this app have a system built in to choose the random raffle winners?

It chooses random winners automatically at the end of the term. If “you” choose winners, it won’t be random or automatic. Edited September 8, 2018 by Adriano Faria
