Do not install the last mod from me, it has loads of errors and im going to overhall this mod.
This is a little addon I wrote this mod. What it does insted of displaying just a txt warning, it takes the entry fields out and displays a message telling the customer to register or login.
Very easy to upgrade, all you do is copy my new files over your old ones.
And PLEASE sombody tidy this mod up its a knightmare!!!!!
I knew I'd forget something. I will release a full updated package soon.
Here are the months for date of birth dropdown:
Add to catalog/includes/languages/english.php
define('MONTH_JANUARY', 'January');
define('MONTH_FEBRUARY', 'February');
define('MONTH_MARCH', 'March');
define('MONTH_APRIL', 'April');
define('MONTH_MAY', 'May');
define('MONTH_JUNE', 'June');
define('MONTH_JULY', 'July');
define('MONTH_AUGUST', 'August');
define('MONTH_SEPTEMBER', 'September');
define('MONTH_OCTOBER', 'October');
define('MONTH_NOVEMBER', 'November');
define('MONTH_DECEMBER', 'December');
You need the Contest v1.02 .. NOT v1.0
Than apply this update package.
Includes various fixes, updates from previous packages and a bunch of new features.
Here is some more features you can add to Contest v1.0
- If a customer is already a member they will be shown a message that they do not need to enter again, as they are automatically entered in the prize draws.
- If a new customer tries to sign up for the draws and has already entered they will be shown a message that they have already registered for the draws.
- Added multiple messages depending on the state of individual fields. For example if fields are left blank or do not meet minimum requirements for length etc .. warning messages are displayed.
- Added invalid domain check in case someone has entered their email address format incorrectly.
- Added non valid domain checking. Email addresses entered are checked against a file modified by you. If they match for example yahoo. or hotmail. etc. a message is displayed warning the person that free email addresses are not allowed. You can change the warning message if you add other domains that are not necessarily free email domains.
- When person enters contest successfully they are redirected to the create account page.
- When already current customers try to register they are not redirected .. they are just shown a message stating that they are already a member and automatically qualify for any prize draws.
- Added option to show a date of birth dropdown box. When enabled the entrant must be a certain age to enter the draw. The age is set by admin.
- If the age option is not enabled anyone of any age will be able to enter the contest.
- In admin contest.php if customer did not tell there location .. the Location section will say Location: None Specified
- Fixed email message link
- Added missing submit button [ just a plain process button ]

This is just an upgrade .. you need to download the original contest v1.0
added missing language define('BOX_HEADING_CONTEST', 'Enter To Win !!!'); noticed by rabbitseffort
Added 'ADD A PRIZE' button to package thanx to rabbitseffort.
This is only a replacement button for the admin area. This will add a better descriptive button to admin/contest.php. Before the button only said similar products, now I made one that says "Add a Prize".
This is only a button, download the previous file for the whole contribution.
This button will go to admin/includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_related_products.gif
Sorry DO NOT USE PREVIOUS upload.
This is working with fixed queries.
