this how tested added image via article option add test in article box and saved, then clicked clear cache, checked article and image still there have missed any steps.

With articles, they're usually quite old.

The background tends to virtually all the time, perhaps a core bug?

That very odd if losing images when running this tool as does same as support tool part from loading the form up but I take look later today ontest site.

Thanks Pete, I don't know why, but I always do.

Does anyone else experience images being deleted when they clear the cache via this plugin?

I seem to always lose my background or article images stored within IP.Pages etc.

@TheJackal84: I'm not kidding you when I say this, I became that impressed with your chat application that I went ahead and purchased it. Not only that, however, it made me want to upgrade to IPS 4.4 something hadn't wanted to do until I saw this.

Hello, can add voice feature? 

This is a great idea.

I run a fan site for my local football team, the match chat used to be very popular, but CometChat lost their heads and became bloatedware. One thing, however, I liked, was the ability to send voice updates. I would give the thumbs up to this idea, especially if you added settings that would enable only certain members to use the function. I or someone trusted could then give updates on the game as it happens (like commentary). 😍😍

2. Can you add posibility of using the phone camara to post a picture?

I also like this idea.

The ability to attach/upload images from a smartphone or tablet would be awesome, I often shared pictures throughout games similar to the above voice function. It's useful outside of that as not everyone these days has a desktop computer and otherwise they might not be able to share images.

My suggestions:

• A dedicated chat room moderator(s) - (Allow us to choose who mods the chat rooms and pin them to the top of the online list).
• Chat room logs - (very useful to read through incase anyone does something they shouldn't, otherwise without proof it becomes he said, they said).
• Report chat messages - (like the above, if members could report comments live it would allow for better moderation and quicker action to be taken).
• Disable sounds and notification alerts inside the chat room(s) individually.
• Member statuses (Availible, Away, Busy) - (Useful to know if someone is absent, as it marks them and during a long conversation it allows people to notice easily).
• Invite members (this would send a notification out asking a member to join x room).
• Show who has seen each message (much like Facebook Messenger does).
• -Ignore if it does- Does this block filtered bad words? If not, please support the default feature.

I think this application is wonderful, I almost considered buying an option mentioned earlier, however, I couldn't justify the price and I felt it wasn't quite right for what I needed. I can see this working well straight out of the box - yet I am seeing a lot of potential to improve it. Seriously, thank you for releasing and already taking on improving it by adding our suggestions. I hope it replaces the whole that IPS left when they disbanded their chat system as I feel this is perfect.

That's how raffles/giveaway layout will show up on IPS 4.4:

• Cover photo
• Prizes at the top, listing up to 6. The other prizes can be seen by clicking in a link
• Participants: 6 per line. New setting to you decide how many to show and if you want to show the member name below the photo.

There are, so far, 2 more new features that I will talk about them later.  👍

May I suggest the ability to style the raffles?

I.E

If you sell to x amount of people or x tickets, they can choose a number and their username gets shown on that. In pubs in the UK, they used to do fundraisers called guess the number, spot the ball, etc.

Fun little games.

Field when adding/editing a raffle/giveaway:

$return['price'] = new \IPS\nexus\Form\Money( 'raffle_price', $item ? json_decode( $item->price, TRUE ) : array(), $priceRequired, array(), function( $val )......

$item->price is the cost of the raffle. And it saves same way:

		/* Ticket Price */
		if( \IPS\Request::i()->do == 'submit' AND isset( $values['raffle_price'] ) )
		{
			$this->price = json_encode( $values['raffle_price'] );
		}

So there's no way to, somehow, it shows the user account credit there.

Everything related to account credit only appears in the Commerce extension tied to a setting to allow pay for tickets using Account Credit:

	/**
	 * @brief	Can use account credit?
	 */
	public static $canUseAccountCredit = FALSE;

	/**
	 * @brief	Can use account credit: according to the app setting
	 */
	public function __construct( $memberOrGroup=NULL, \IPS\nexus\Money $price )
	{
		parent::__construct( $memberOrGroup, $price );
		static::$canUseAccountCredit = \IPS\Settings::i()->raffle_use_account_credit ? TRUE : FALSE;
	}

So let me know if you know how to reproduce because it seems impossible to me.

I think the issue is related to the Commerce app, sorry.

If I credit any account via the ACP, my own account gets the money also. Weird.

I think I've found a bug and it's pretty random, so I am unsure as to how it's triggered or how can be replicated. However, I keep getting account credit and it's always in the region of what I put my raffle tickets to cost.

It starts at the lowest amount but can build to an alarming total.

Reason I say it must be connected, it's always in the region of the ticket prices and grows in the same number.

One thing could be that I'm the raffle creator? I don't know, I am checking other accounts and haven't noticed the same behaviour yet. 🤷‍♂️

I don't understand why people don't get it? The app maker asked you to do this... if you don't like the answer then don't use the app or buy it. As you see below the app maker has topic's which you can make a suggestions. OR maybe ask on that forums if you can have a custom job done to this app.  Thank you have a great day everyone.  

Adriano Faria thank you for all hard work you put in to your projects. My community enjoys the Raffles System the way it is.

And please do as I request in the file description, if you want to get some attention to your requests:

Suggestions and Bugs report:

• Submit suggestions to the Suggestions forum: http://www.sosinvision.com.br/ips4/index.php?/forum/35-suggestions/
• Submit bug reports to the official Bug Tracker for this app: http://www.sosinvision.com.br/ips4/index.php?/tracker/raffles/

What I don't get is your response.

Selling 40 places could mean I take far more from doing 1 raffle, than I would doing 2 with 20 raffle tickets. If you operate under strict guidelines, BTW I am registered with my areas council and I operate under gambling laws (hence the suggestion to limit per ticket). You may actually be required to sell tickets to a certain amount, something which we have no control over currently.

Just because you and your community likes this setup, well that's great.

However, my comment was a mere suggestion and I shouldn't be forced to register elsewhere in order to make this possible.

I never said I didn't like or appreciate the application, so your comment 'if you don't like the answer then don't use the app or buy it.' is pretty irrelevant. Clients of IPS should be fully allowed to post feature suggestions within the support topics, after all to request something generally includes some form of support. What makes me laugh is how some people can't respect other people or understand that people won't have the time to register elsewhere.

Besides, most devs I've worked with refuse to register accounts on clients sites in order offer adequate support - how is this any different than asking us to join theirs?

Anywho, I have no issue with Adriano knocking back the suggestion but I did want to squash this "40 people and 1 ticket per people will do what you want." as limiting to one ticket would naturally make any raffle harder and again, depending on your local areas rules or countries gambling regulations you may be required to limit the tickets. I don't expect you to understand this.

--

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.

Indeed they do.

If you can't make a valid request I won't purchase, my suggestion was very valid but again I accept Adriano's decision.

40 people and 1 ticket per people will do what you want. I don’t see any sense in restrict a raffle per ticket, sorry. It’s the same of ask to NOT make money with it or even give the oportunity to someone buys 40 tickets, etc. There's no plan to do that.

And please do as I request in the file description, if you want to get some attention to your requests:

Well, no. Not really because 40 tickets could be purchased between 20 people.

Your method means that 40 people are required outright just to take part, if I lower it - I can't afford to give away prizes. In real life people don't do raffles expecting to sell tickets to x amount of people, they aim to sell the tickets.

I know what you mean but I am sure others would find this to be more useful.

Thanks, I don't really have the time to be joining every devs forum. I'll stick to IPS for now but you do a good job.

Could you add a way for us to limit the amount of tickets rather than the amount of people who can take part?

I would like to sell a set amount as per the rules of where I live, rather than saying 40 people and only 1 ticket per go. It would be easier to just sell 40 tickets.

I don't think it's possible as a payment gateway is required in the checkout process:

How does people pay with their account credit? (I'm just trying to understand this so I can recommend this method to people).

Could you please tell me how I can fix something within the template so that it matches my site, it's simple but I can't figure it out. I'll PM you @Adriano Faria - this is a great application. 👏👏

3 hours ago, Adriano Faria said:

No.

Would you please consider it?

I'd be happy to pay for the feature.

Managed to figure it out, apologise. It seems I missed some of the entries in the database.

Is it possible to force payment via account credit only?

Just now, Adriano Faria said:

Send a PM with ACP credentials. I’ll take a look tomorrow in the morning. 

Will do.

I have found this...

SELECT *  FROM `mydatabase`.`core_applications` WHERE (CONVERT(`app_id` USING utf8) LIKE '%raffle%' OR CONVERT(`app_author` USING utf8) LIKE '%raffle%' OR CONVERT(`app_version` USING utf8) LIKE '%raffle%' OR CONVERT(`app_long_version` USING utf8) LIKE '%raffle%' OR CONVERT(`app_directory` USING utf8) LIKE '%raffle%' OR CONVERT(`app_added` USING utf8) LIKE '%raffle%' OR CONVERT(`app_position` USING utf8) LIKE '%raffle%' OR CONVERT(`app_protected` USING utf8) LIKE '%raffle%' OR CONVERT(`app_enabled` USING utf8) LIKE '%raffle%' OR CONVERT(`app_hide_tab` USING utf8) LIKE '%raffle%' OR CONVERT(`app_website` USING utf8) LIKE '%raffle%' OR CONVERT(`app_update_check` USING utf8) LIKE '%raffle%' OR CONVERT(`app_update_last_check` USING utf8) LIKE '%raffle%' OR CONVERT(`app_update_version` USING utf8) LIKE '%raffle%' OR CONVERT(`app_disabled_groups` USING utf8) LIKE '%raffle%' OR CONVERT(`app_disabled_message` USING utf8) LIKE '%raffle%' OR CONVERT(`app_diagnostic_url` USING utf8) LIKE '%raffle%' OR CONVERT(`app_default` USING utf8) LIKE '%raffle%')

Should I try deleting it? I have tried to find the lines for the SQL Toolbol but it came back saying they couldn't be found etc.

THIS IS NOT AN UPGRADE of the old app (for IP.Board 3), so if you used the old app you probably still have data from the old app in your database, take a read on Manual.pdf in the zip file or request support BEFORE you install this app.

I deleted the raffle entries in the past @Adriano Faria.

I just searched phpMYADMIN just incase and I can't find anything, I also ensured I had deleted the folder but considering I re-uploaded 3.3 files and deleted the previous ones - I can't see how the application would still be there.

@Adriano Faria: I can't install it.

I get "Sorry, you do not have permission for that!"

2C133/4 The application you are attempting to install appears to be installed already. To reinstall the application you must first uninstall it.

I am using the main admin account and I have no issues installing anything else, or upgrading apps.

-Edit-

I didn't attempt to upgrade, I had uninstalled the old version but for some reason it seems to have re-added 'raffles' to the list of installed applications but it won't install.

Do I need to upgrade or did you include this patch @Mike John.

I have an issue where I can't edit any messages unless I reduce the size of my screen. Otherwise I risk having a fit because the box just jumps and flashes, this isn't all that important but I would appreciate if you could take a look at the video I'll PM you in a moment.

mmm so is everything ok? 🙂

Im about to update the app in a half hour or so

Blocks can now have a fully customziable colors 

 

I think so, I am yet to try increasing the lines so that it doesn't do it but it seems very likely.

Thank you.

I cant reproduce this on my side i tried multiple times and everything is ok.

Can you please write a detailed steps to reproduce the issue? 🙂 

I know what it is buddy, different screen resolutions. It creates more lines so it cuts off even when there's no need.

I don't think it's a bug.

I just wanted to add my thanks again to @TAMAN for creating this awesome footer application!

It looks awesome and I'm proud to be using it.

If anyone has a dark part in their footer, you can use a CSS tweak like this to make the title text lighter.

.af_columnID_2 .af_Content > h3 {
    color: #fff;
}

On mine I have a dark bit as the secondary part of my footer, so the column ID can be targeted to make it appear white instead of black on black.

Many thanks to @newbie LAC for kindly helping me.

Keep up the great work TAMAN and please don't stress about this, majority of people will understand your busy - it can't be helped. I wish you well though.

Not currently as in a "subscription" feature but it is being worked on. No ETA though.

So there's no plans to add the support to receive monthly PayPal donations?

I can't say how much of a massive issue this will be for me, as I was hoping it would be coming as mentioned. I know your busy, I value that but I would appeal to you to reconsider. I need to rely massively on donations right now, I am current unable to work (disabled) and I am struggling to cover my sites costs. The donation system was hoped to be a lifesaver for me, I am in the process of other means but I do have a lot of support from people wanting to make no fuss donations (yet they forget and I don't want to ask).

Also please, can we have the ability to hide the donation amount in the member profiles.

I know November will be a busy time but would there be any chance you could help me resolve my queries please @TAMAN.

There still appears to be issues with storing the settings.

I can't change the colour of the text within dark areas, a temporary solution would be perfect.

Expanding arrows show for no reason when I view on my mobile but oddly its perfect 99% of the time, it's just that rare location where it's not.
