December 11, 20195 yr Thank you for the quick fix, but there's one place more i think. the string FREE which appears in the popular and expiring widgets and in raffles main page.
December 11, 20195 yr Author I can’t And won’t release one version per day. Test the app entirely and come back in a week with your findings. Fixes will come in next version. Thank you.
December 11, 20195 yr No problem. I will see what i can find. Thanks! Edited December 11, 20195 yr by Matis Soppe

Just checked and I assume you don't have Commerce app? It was required before, thus I used the lang free from Commerce. If you want to edit templates manually, open the following: raffles/front/index/indexBlock raffles/front/widgets/raffleRow raffles/front/widgets/raffleRowES Find: {lang="free"} Change to: {lang='raffle_free_giveaway'} Fix will come in a future version as it isn't crashing the app/board.
December 11, 20195 yr Thanks for the instructions! I have newest ips/commerce installed, I looked and i only see this string key "free_shipping" in commerce app but not exactly key "free" and second one was what you mentioned "raffle_free_giveaway" which was also translated. I am just curios why i did not find it in commerce app or this was a mistake. Anyway, i'll change the key what you instructed and keep my eyes open for any issues and report them back to you. Thanks. 😉 Edited December 11, 20195 yr by Matis Soppe
December 14, 20195 yr Hey @Adriano Faria I get this error when I try to upgrade to the latest version http://prntscr.com/qaw0kj Any idea why?
December 14, 20195 yr Author No. It says nothing. Which version you were using? Your last download is from August!

So should I download your previous versions and work my way up then? Once again could that interfere with current raffles? Edited December 14, 20195 yr by GTAPoliceMods
December 14, 20195 yr Author You have to weight that I can’t guarantee everything will work fine. It is supposed to. If you want to wait the raffle to draw, you won’t be able to edit members preference on ACP profile (error in the other topic).

I don’t understand your question very well but both apps are integrated. You can specify how many points a user can exchange to participate in a raffle when you’re creating the raffle.

January 26, 20204 yr Yes that would be awesome. Another feature that would be cool - clone a raffle. Edited January 26, 20204 yr by Jaymez
February 8, 20204 yr Author What's New in Version 1.3.6: New feature: Add ability to clone a raffle/giveway. A new moderator permission is available to enable this option in the Raffle Actions menu. All relevant data will be copied to the new raffle/giveway, including prizes New raffle/giveway will be crated in draft mode so you can choose a proper date to publish it.

March 14, 20204 yr After reading more about the legalities of Raffles, I've ready that it is basically illegal in the US, where I am based, unless you're set up as a non-profit. Do people still use it anyway? Also, is it possible to use it the following way: Instead of selling tickets to members of the forum in order for them to be eligibe to win a prize, can we use the raffle system with the Commerce Donation sysytem. So instead of selling tickets, I can just state that for every dollar that is "Donated", they will receive 1 ticket. Then I can pick a winner from those that have donated? Is this way still considered illegal? I really would love to get this and integrate it on my forum. Thank you.

No. 5 minutes ago, SC36DC said: Is this way still considered illegal? I really would love to get this and integrate it on my forum. I’m not from US. You’ll have to get help with someone from there regarding local laws. Anyway, this is clear in the file description: Be aware that may have local laws regarding paying for the tickets unless you are registered as a non-profit organization, or have special authorization to do so. Some sites like Paypal usually shut accounts down or even can take actions against the accounts of people using their site in that manner.
March 16, 20204 yr Can I manually enter peoples name in the raffle, and apply an amount of tickets per person?
March 16, 20204 yr Author Moderators with proper permission can add manually members to raffle but this won’t generate an invoice for the members. If the raffles allows one ticket per member, then only one is allowed. If it allows more, than a input box with a number will show up. Default to 1. Max = maximum number of tickets per member. But I’m not totally sure about this last part. That is what happens when purchasing tickets; not sure when adding manually. Would need to install the app and see.
