It would be great if we could split a competition in 2 phases, the 1st phase is upload only, the 2nd phase is for votes only. So lets say you have a overall competition time from 10/1/22 to 10/31/22, from 10/1/22 until 10/15/22 you can upload your entry and from 10/16/22 to 10/31/22 is voting time for everyone.

Hi Chris, good news! this is already a feature.

In the competition app settings look for the delay voting setting. This means you can open the competition and people can upload but they won't be able to vote until this time period has passed.

Hi Andy,

yes i know, we are already using this feature but we noticed that users start replacing their content when the votes don't fly in as expected 😉

You could put a limit on the amount of content they can put in a competition.  For us we do this, and if they delete anything an admin has to permanently delete it before they can post something else.

Oh no, i know it's embarassing but i did it again ;-(

 

 

I've added another contest yesterday and (i don't know why) i've switched off the "automated scheduling" and after i hit save this error showed up. Luckily the running competition is not affected.

I made then a copy of the forum to our test environment today (database and storage) and by my surprise the error in "competition/settings" was gone and "automated scheduling" wasn't switched off?!  But i was able to reproduce the error, after i switched it off again and hit save the same error shows up as in our live forum.

Besides the above error i noticed some else yesterday. I've added the new contest (running from 10/1/22 to 10/14/22). The new competition didn't showed up in the public competition interface and i've changed the start date to today, the competition then showed up (and i was happy with the cover photo)  and then switched the start date  back to 10/1/22 but the competition was still visible and accepted uploads.

 

FYI

Thanks and sorry 😉

Thanks, I can replicate the issue of moving the start date back into the future and will investigate this and fix locally.

Could you please send me a pm with access (test environment if possible and the issue can be reproduced there) so I can investigate the first issue?

You have a PN as requested.

I'm in the translation process needing help with this entry:

competition_runner_up_email_header_blurb

You were so close! %s placed %s in the %s competition.

Could you please give me a complete sample sentence to see how I have to translate it? 

Is it meant like this "Freddy placed 3rd in the Nov 2022 competition"`?

B.t.w. this string is twice: competition_vote_too_many

Those language strings are empty:

notifications__competition_votes_desc

perm_competition_perm__label

In our site it's translated in "Das war knapp! %s landete auf Platz %s im Fotowettbewerb %s."

I don't have an icon for your app in ACP. Do you have a hint for me to add the icon?

Same here, how did you solved the issue? Thanks.

I think it was the language string „menutab__competition_icon“. You must not translate this language string.

This is intentional. Invision Community builds these dynamically but they're not relevant for this so are added as blank entries.

The Cover Photo isn't showing.

The cover photo will only show if you have more than one competition running. It is used on the overview page that lists all running competitions. If there is only one competition then that will show automatically.

Does this work with 4.7.11?

Scheduling in the AdminCP, the Entries and Voting configuration sections are also hidden.

That's expected. All of those settings relate to the individual auto scheduled competitions.

Yeah sorry, I see how you have it set up.  I didn't get to deleting my comment fast enough 🙂

Hi @Andy Millne

in our new competition views aren't counted. In previous competitions all was fine. In error logs no entries are related to Competition app and in task is running every hour. PHP is 8.0.29 , IPS is 4.7.11.1.

Do you have an idea why the counting could be gone away?

Views are handled by Invision Community centrally not by the competitions task. I can't think off the top of my head why it would suddenly stop counting. Have you made any other changes recently such as installing 3rd party apps or plugins? If so try disabling those temporarily. If that doesn't work feel free to message me with access info and I'll take a look.

4.7.11:

\IPS\Content\Views interface has been deprecated, you should use the \IPS\Content\ViewUpdates trait instead.

 

ah yes of course, I'll get an update out to address that. Nice catch @Adriano Faria

Will there be updates for this?

I don't see you listed as a provider.

Thank you
