I did this

Code: Select all

Open lottery.php
------------------
FIND
-----
//end time checks

AFTER ADD
---------
$sql = "select * from phpbb_lottery where id>0";
		if ( !($result = $db->sql_query($sql)) ) { message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, 'Fatal Error Getting Total Lottery Entries!'); }
	$lotteryentries = mysql_num_rows($result);
	$pool = $board_config['lottery_base'];
	$poola = $lotteryentries * $board_config['lottery_cost'];
	$pool = $pool + $poola;

-------
FIND
-------
<tr>
<td class="row2"><span class="gen">Time Until Drawn</span></td>
<td class="row2"><span class="gen">'.$lottime.'</span></td>
</tr>

------
AFTER ADD
------
<tr>
<td class="row2"><span class="gen">Entries So Far</span></td>
<td class="row2"><span class="gen">'.$lotteryentries.' entries</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="row2"><span class="gen">Total Up For Grabs</span></td>
<td class="row2"><span class="gen">'.$pool.' '.$board_config['points_name'].'</span></td>
</tr>
You can have it all if you like... but you can pay for it the rest of your life.

...so is there no way for anyone to really know who won, except to constantly check how much they have?

you can set Lottery Status to on - that says who won [as long as the lottery is set to redo.. as if not folks get a 'Sorry lottery is closed' sign]

I noted the same lack of winner with multiple ticket buying - I didnt check to see if it was going to member 1 [that's anonymous right?]. I love this mod - and am just setting tickets to be single purchase ATM. If anyone does come up with an idea whats happening there please share lol :) till then it's hardly a show-stopper :) Anything that gives points a little more substance is all good in my opinion - so thanks again Zarath for sharing :)

* requires : 2.0.0+ phpbb & points mod & PHP 4.2.0+


Are you sure your webservers are using php 4.2.0 or higher? It being lower would probably cause the randomizer to stuff up when picking the winner and end up doing what you seem to be having a problem with.

This is a nice touch to your mod Zarath! You should incorporate this into your mod! 8) (see quote)

By the way, good job! Installed and working good so far, 3 more days till a winner is drawn and I'll tell you what happens! LOL Hopefully I WIN! I gave out 500 points to 3 of my forums users to register for the lottery and give it a shot. I know I can change the pay-out time to a smaller number, but just checking it out. I'm in no big hurry to win anything. Just love the mod and it's concept! NICE WORK! :D
