Sorry for the delay. Was away.

No, I haven't because I can always solve the problem by just clicking on the raffles setting in ACP. Let me try to reproduce while making a video screen capture. Will revert.

I worked in this app the weekend to fix a issue reported and couldn’t see such problem. There’s a pending version in marketplace. Test after that and let me know if still insists.

Confirmed. It was missing the data store from Raffles groups outside the Raffles app (group extension runs in the Core). I just re submitted the new version and sent you a fix via message so you can upload the file. New version should be out in a few days.

What's New in Version 1.5.2:

Fixes:

• Error when editing notifications on Admin CP.
• Unable to draw a winner on giveaways restricted per group.
• Error when editing groups right away after the app install (missing the data store file)

I have been having a strange problem the last 2 months:

 

Version 1.5.2

Invision Community v4.5.4.2

System Information
PHP    v7.4.16
MySQL    v5.5.5-10.3.22-MariaDB-cll-lve

 

Version 1.5.2, released 14 days ago, and not in 2 months, fix this. It wasn't picking winners correctly, Your image seems to be the post created with winners. If it is, once is created, there's nothing you can do... delete the post, reactive the giveaway and let it run again.

It happened before and after the update.  The winners do pick on the main raffle page, but when it posts it doesn't post correctly when done automatically.  Would running it again change the winner?

 

Would running it again change the winner?

Of course.

Then it seems you have a winner and only the post is wrong? If that's the case, edit the post and add the winner name there.

I'll take a look when I have to update it again.

Yes, that is what is happening, just the post. Thank you 🙂

Description says 4.4 Compatibility only but the file description says 4.5?  Does this work for 4.5?  I am having issues getting this to pick a winner on 4.5.  I have tried manually picking with dashboard and still does not work.

Latest version is 4.5 compatible. You can see it in the Compatibility field on file view. 

What version are you using? Version 1.5.1 had an issue to draw a winner on giveaways restricted per group. Raffles was ok. It was fixed in current version (1.5.2) and I’m not aware of any issue related to drawing winners in current version. 

Send a PM with your ACP credentials. I’ll take a look Monday morning. 

4.6 Update anytime soon? interested in buying.

It’s pending approval for a while now:

 

Time to buy than I guess!
Thanks for letting me know.

Well, im back! xD

Do you have any idea what could cause this problem?

 

Regards!

Damn it! 😑

Quick fix: open the raffles -> front -> view -> view template and find:

{$raffle->author()->link( $raffle->warningRef(), \IPS\Settings::i()->raffles_formatnames, $raffle->isAnonymous() )}

Change to:

{$raffle->author()->link( $raffle->warningRef(), \IPS\Settings::i()->raffles_formatnames, $raffle->isAnonymous() )|raw}

Let me know if you find another template issue.

Do the change in all themes you have installed.

That fixed it! thanks you.

 

That fixed it! thanks you.

I'll give more time for you (and the others) to test the new version. I'll release a fix via marketplace in a week or so. 👍

Hi Adriano. Upgraded to 1.6. Weird thing happened while upgrading, it stalled at email templates as per the screenshot. However, after a few minutes, when I refreshed, it went away and was installed. Not sure if that's my browser's fault. Flagging it just in case.

Thanks.

Hey,

Do you think you can add an easy way to have "mass"-winners/prices?(10-100)?
Right now we have to add prices one by one.

Example:
40x prices of the same thing, with the same picture and description.

Also, would be great if we could define the winnings somewhere, so they could get it via PM/or other ways automatically.

Regards

PriCes or priZes? If you mean prizes, I really don't see any sense in add 100 prizes totally equals to each other. Can you elaborate or show a useful usage of this:?

Regarding the error of the author link in raffle/giveaway view, this is TEMPORARY FIX: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/438772-raffles-system/?do=findComment&comment=2862810

A new version (1.6.0.1) was submitted to marketplace to fix this issue. If you edited your template, click in the REVERT button as soon as you upgrade to the newest.

Hello Adriano,

I recently updated Raffles but have not used in about a year.  When I click on Raffles in the menu, I get this 

I am not sure why that is and obviously cannot look at previous raffles.  Suggestion?

Go to Members -> Groups -> Raffles and enable the app to your group.
