Hi, I am surprised this hasn't been asked before, but an option to watermark the photo uploaded by users would be nice.

Good idea. I’ll add this to the suggestions list for future versions. 

For the next release I will be focussing on voting fraud prevention but this is a nice easily implemented suggestion that could be added after that. 

Just now, DamonT

Is there option to treat topics from selected categories as news and put them in the News Sitemap?

It is not currently possible to limit by category. All items within the selected database will be added to the news sitemap but this is a great suggestion. Thanks.

Hi,

If we purchase this and add some of our databases etc, do we have to do anything at the google end, or will our new sitemaps be automatically picked up and indexed?

Thanks,

You can only specify a single news sitemap (one database). The sitemap will be at /newssitemap and needs submitting to Google via search console.

Support topic for the News Sitemap application.

There is currently no concept of a time period where people can enter but not vote. When a competition opens anyone can enter at any point up until the close date.

I am currently working on 1.3 which should allow more flexibility here.

Anonymising entries is not currently a feature.

We hear you 😉

Hello,

1.- Is there any way (even by manually editing a template) to show 3 competitions per row instead of 2 (I mean the main page).

2.- Don't think that I missed a setting, but seems that all sidebar widgets have the same, not editable title "Photo Competition". Any way to change it with custom text, or even better with competition's title? Now I've 6 blocks from 6 active competitions, and nobody can understand for which competition are the shown results.

3.- As a suggestion. Should be very helpful, at least with the simpler solution, to allow Admin to post unlimited entries. The best should be limit by usergroup.

Thank you

Chris

Sorry, I missed this.

1. This isn't currently a feature unfortunately.

2. You can edit the "Photo Competition" text to something else but it isn't possible to set this individually. I have added this to the todo list for 1.3 however at it is a logical feature suggestion.

3. You can currently set the number of entries all users can make in the global settings. A per group setting is a good suggestion however.

Not *exactly* sure what the center permission setting control but whatever it is the setting does not appear to be reliably sticky.

If I uncheck a group for the center permission and save, reopening the permissions shows it checked again.  Doing a similar check/save for a different permission, say Comment for Admin, the setting sticks as expected.

Fantastic app 👍 

 

That looks like a bug, it's an old permission that is no longer required. I'll look into why it's still displaying. Thanks for letting me know.

I have no idea to how to do this as we are not that technical - Is this something you could check?

Your cms access is still live

Sent you a PM

can you check here please:

https://www.walkingfootball.com/competition/history/

The July results has the same photo twice

Do you have any errors in the logs? It looks like the task ran twice. If you check the competition history database table you will have duplicate entries and the duplicates can be removed.

If it would be great if we could rename the title of the widget from the default Photo Competition to custom names to make it easier for visitors to know which photos in that widget are in which competition

Or is there already a way to do this?

Thanks

This isn't currently possible but I will add it to the list of future improvements.

When I check for updates on the Invision community applications tab it does not show that there are updates available when there is on the market place. Please fix this is as it works for the other applications I have.

This will be available with 1.3

In the e-mail notification there is a button to the celebrity gallery. The button directs to https://example.com/competition/history/?controller=index&tab=history=index&tab=history, which doesn't exist:

I've just released 1.2.9 which fixes this issue. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi @Andy Millne

Is there an option to enable voting for guests?
Thank you for your information and greetings 😃

This isn’t currently an option. I’m not against it and it could probably be achieved with a cookie but it would be very open to abuse.

Quick question as i don't see it mentioned anywhere : is ips gallery required for this app ?

No, it is standalone. No other apps are required other than the Invision Community core.

Is there a setting for that?

And can an user delete his photo(s)?

There is not currently a setting. It is a default.

User cannot delete their own photos but moderators can.

Can an user remove his vote(s) to give them to another photo?

Hi Claudia. Yes this is possible. You can limit the number of entries users can vote on or let them vote on as many as they want. They can add and remove their votes any time up to the competition close.

Great app and wonderful developer.  One thing that would make this even better is Club support, so clubs can have their own specific competitions.  

Thanks!

Nice idea, thanks.

You can edit the competition name from the admin control panel by editing the competition. You don’t need to use the language tools

Also, has the task issue that you mentioned been fixed? 

Yes, this is fixed in 1.1.

After upgrading I get this error when clicking on "Active Competition": 

Error: Call to undefined method IPS\competition\Entry::currentLeaders() (0)
#0 /home/mysite/public_html/applications/competition/modules/front/potm/index.php(47): IPS\competition\modules\front\potm\_index->index()
#1 /home/mysite/public_html/system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php(152): IPS\competition\modules\front\potm\_index->execute()
#2 /home/mysite/public_html/index.php(13): IPS\_Dispatcher->run()
#3 {main}

When clicking on a previously submitted photo (prior to the 1.1 upgrade) I get this: 

 

The first is an error from the old block. If you open the block manager and remove it that should clear that up. The second is because of the url change. Redirects are listed in the change log to fix that or you can edit the furl settings in the admin control panel to set it back to potm. 

Support has been added for manually scheduling competitions in 1.1 which is now in the marketplace. There are also some other features added based on feedback in this topic.

If you are looking for feature ideas I am happy to write up how I would like to use the app for our picture contests.

I have a fixed feature set I want to get into 1.1 due for release in the next few weeks but yes, please share your feature ideas for 1.2 and beyond.

Sorry, I don't provide access to my board to third parties.

 

Without being able to view the environment the only thing I can think of is you might not have the PHP Internationalisation extension installed. If you don't have that then install it and re-run the task. In 1.1 I have removed this requirement and added a fallback.

I'm working on 1.1 and would like to get some thoughts from a few people on the subject of SEO.

On the sites I have seen using this so far, most of the content aside from the image is imo "thin". Comments such as "great photo", emoji etc.

Currently, I'm planning to add structured markup similar to the Gallery application as that is essentially what it is with each competition being a separate gallery. I would like to here people's thoughts on this though to see what people think should be no-indexed, no-followed etc if anything?

Okay, so last month I had people submit entries, but then they disappeared at the start of this month. They aren't showing up in "Past winners" or whatever it's called. How do I get them to show up? It's kind of pointless if people can't see who won after the month ends. 

This sounds like a bug with the task. Can you send me a PM with access info so I can look into this please?

will this work with 4.3.6 please?

No this will work with 4.4 or higher only.
