The site builder step in vb5 with adding the module small or large sounds really cool.

I had a custom system like this in vb3 but yours sounds very similar so it may save me. Thanks.

lol its the same product the developer has developed this from vb3 - vb5
there is no other raffle system

Questions:
1. Can a member only enter in a raffle once?
2. If the above is yes, can you consider adding a token system(points) where you get a token for posting, token(s) for a new thread, etc and then you can set how many tokens it costs to enter a raffle. When you enter you get a ticket. A member can enter more than once. It would say: Buy [ ] tickets. Where you enter the number of tickets you want to purchase with your tokens. This way it entices people to be more active and earn more tokens to hopefully better their chance at winning.
3. If you consider number 2, have the option to input what points system you will use for the tokens. Eg inbuilt system (usually basic) or another system like vbcredits, vbux etc.
4. When the raffle is drawn are the users automatically notified? If yes can you consider adding an option to manually approve them. That way we can review and approve them first. If we don't approve them, then the system will do a redraw.

its the same as VB4 but ported over, you can set that option per raffle
for example Usergroup 1 can join raffle upto 3 times in 1 hour per day and set it as max 3 raffles per user max

As simonhind said, this is settable on a per raffle basis.

Currently there isn't a point or token system that works with vB 5. When one becomes available, I'll most likely add the option to use it.

The winner is automatically notified by PM when the raffle is drawn.

I won't add an approval system because that can and does 'fix' the result of the raffle when used and is dishonest.

Hello,

Thank you for your work,

When i'm on the page enterraffle?id=1 and i click on "View details and register" nothing happens, the page just reload.
What's wrong ?

Thank you again.

When on the enterraffle page, "View details and register" shouldn't be showing. It's not even in the template for that page.

If you could post a screenshot of what you're seeing it would be helpful.

EDIT: If you mean after you click 'enter me', you should be seeing what is shown in the attached screenshot.

Thanks for the release!

Thank you snog!

When DBTech vBCredits is updated to vB5, will you implement the Points into it? I'd love to make it so people can buy a ticket for 50 credits, and if you have like, lets say 250 credits, you can buy 5 tickets for the raffle Would give more uses of credits!

(Sorry for my bad english)

I just have tried to reinstall your mod on a new vb5 install, and everything is fine.

I tried to reproduce my previous problem but i can't, so i don't know what went wrong.
I had created a new page, with just the "Raffles - Active - Large" module, and when i was clicking on "View details and register" i was redirecting to "enterraffle?id=1" as expected. But this page was displaying exactly the same than my new page = the "Raffles - Active - Large module" and that was all.

But everything is fine now (i don't know why) so thank you again.

So a user can make 100 accounts and if they win, you have no option to disqualify them for being dishonest. Same with a user spamming for tokens (if you make that feature). There needs to be a way to disqualify users who abuse the rules and when you do, the system will do a redraw.
