Lottery Plugin

[ezwarren]

I used a lottery plugin in the past on the classic Proboards, through the Header and Footer format, would this work on this version?
if not, I would like to request a lottery plugin as the previous one did, which randomised 4-6 numbers (or how many numbers you set) and up to the High Number you choose. Due to it being randomised no one, including staff will know what numbers will be drawn on that particular night.

all the admin and staff can do is set how many numbers are drawn and what the maximum number it can be drawn up to.

Similar to this link, but obviously for this version of Proboards: support.proboards.com/thread/70609/lottery-system-v1-cb

Hi,

Can I ask for more details please?

I assume you want the numbers added to a post? If so, will it be only the opening post of a thread, or any post? And do you want a button added so that you can get the lottery numbers, or should they be added automatically when the post is made.

Also, do you have a preferance on how they would be displayed?

If the numbers are not to be added to a post, then where are they to be diaplayed?

Exactly how it is in the Headers and Footers display, with the address I linked too, except I want it to be at the of the forums, it below the banner/navigation section at the top of the forums.

Also I would like the ability to select how High the numbers can be, for example numbers that are drawn want for higher than 60.
I would like to have a selection of how many numbers would be drawn, like Will it be 5, 7 or 9 numbers drawn, during the lottery.
So in the settings, when the lottery is off the numbers won’t be drawn, but as soon as I turn it on, the numbers show up at the top of the forum, same area I said earlier.
Obviously I would like the numbers to be randomised, so even staff and Admins can play along as well as no one will know what the numbers drawn will be till the Lottery is turned on.

OK..

To do this effectively, it will need a super key, is that OK? Otherwise the admin, or any other member that has access to your admin panel, will have to add the numbers manually once they are drawn.

Super Key? How does that work? If it can get what I asked then I am all for it.

Give me a day or so and I'll see what I can do.

ezwarren, can you please give this a try..

Lottery Numbers

You will need to put this into your layout/template wherever you want the numbers to be displayed...

<div id="lottery"></div>
As the admin, when you move the mouse over the cell where the lottery numbers are to be displayed, you should be presented with 2 butons, one to draw new numbers and another to clear them.

let me know how you go.

I have installed it but there are no tabs to clear them or drawn them. Also when testing it says "There are currently no numbers" I am paraphrasing but that's the gist of it Todge.

Ooops..

Can you please try download and re-install the plugin again from the same link as before. You should now be able to see the button.

[ezwarren]

Thank you just to confirm who can see those buttons? Is it just staff or can anyone see it?

No worries..

As for the buttons, who can see them is up to you, depending on how you set up the plugin.

You have the choice of allowing all staff or only the main admin access to the buttons. General members should not have access to them, no matter how you set it up.

As an extra security measure, when you set up the plugin, select 'Staff' for the key's Write Permissions, and even if by some chance other members do see the buttons, they will not be able to use them.

Thank you so much for making the lottery numbers Plugin. What is the maximum amount you have put the lottery up to or can it be any number like 2,000 for example?

It can be pretty much any number you wish, within reason, if you do start choosing out of 4 figure numbers, or higher, you will need to change the size of the lottery 'balls', or, alternatively, reduce the size of the numbers.

To change the size of the balls, add this to the bottom of your forums' CSS Styling..

.lotto-number { 
 border-radius: 45px!important;
 height: 44px!important;
 width: 65px!important;
 padding-top: 15px!important;
}

Or, if you prefer to reduce the size of the numbers themselves, try this instead..

.lotto-number { 
 height: 25px!important;
 padding-top: 9px!important;
 font-size: 11px; 
}

Change the red numbers to suit.
