Photo contest plugin

[Mannie_]

So is there a way to make it work with the modpack ?

Easiest way would be to disable display of the uploader name in config. If you need that enabled you'll need to dig into the code.

easier would just be to uninstall the plugin

Hi,

Thank you so much for this plug-in - it was exactly what I needed - however when a user votes on a photo - it takes them to a blank page. Shouldn't it return them to the original photo page or a "Thank you for voting" page?

Thanks for any help.

The link you posted doesn't work - I get a 404 not found. Stop playing silly games with us...

I installed this plugin to a completly new coppermine installation, but as soon as the plugin is uploaded (not installed), I cant acces the frontpage, the plugin page, only the config menu.

If I rename the folder in the plugin folder, I can se all af the pages again. When I try to install the plugin after renaming the file, I get "There was an error while processing a database query"

What am i doing wrong?

Start by respecting board rules.

Hello;
I've been created this plugin a while ago, and I don't think it would be doing what is described in your report(at least on cpg 1.4); however, I must confess that after using it for a couple months, I have come to the conclusion that I could not get to the full extent of what I needed without hacking somewhat the code; so since then I have hacked the code on my own site, and, since cpg 1.5 is coming and the voting becomes very different, I'm afraid to say I do not envision to continue maintaining this plugin.
I have looked at 1.5, but although it's a great deal better, it still does not provide everything I'd need to continue using a plugin with 0 hack. So I'm waiting for cpg 1.5 to be official, and I will again hack my way to make the contest working again.
The contest plugin + hack is in use at the address http://www.alphadxd.fr/galerie/index.php. Underwent more than a 1000 votes on the april contest without issues.
If someone is interested, I can give clues on how to make an equivalent thing work, but since it's not a pure plugin anymore, I don't believe I would be allowed to give explanations on this forum?

Thanks for your interest.

Pascal.

If you start a thread in the 1.5 section of the board regarding your plugin and what you need we can probably add plugin hooks or point you towards existing ones.

Thanks for the proposal; I'll do this when I switch to 1.5... jsut waiting for an official release...

... and sure, I know I have to refrain myself from asking if anyone has an idea of when that might be.....

In regard to v1.5.6, what is the status of this plug-in? I'm very interested in using it.

Great plugin. Works fine.

Is there a way to start/stop the contests on exact day/time or we have to do it manually?

[round-planet]

Has to be manually, I'm afraid!

[aquanetnik]

Thank you anyway
