[Plugin: PhotoContest Plugin] Sorry, You have already uploaded one photo

The one you referred to here:

So, what I ended up doing was changing the code again as per the post. But the problem was still happening.

So I just wanted to get the competition working – I wanted to change the number of entries allowed to many – but no function to edit this and I didn’t feel like like changing the database tables directly

So… I ended up using an ugly hack:

$total_nr = (int) $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT count(img_id) as total_nr from “.$wpdb->prefix.”photocontest WHERE wp_uid = %d and visibile=1 and contest_id = %d”, $current_user->ID, $photo_contest_id) );
$total_nr = -9999;

Let’s hope my competition doesn’t implode on itself 🙁

I am having the same problem as many others, I edited the code to this:
$total_nr = 0;
if (isset($current_user->ID))
{
$total_nr = (int) $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT count(img_id) as total_nr from “.$wpdb->prefix.”photocontest WHERE wp_uid = %d and visibile=1 and contest_id = %d”, $current_user->ID, $photo_contest_id) );
}

but it still won’t let anyone upload a photo. I am very new to wordpress, but have been doing websites for a long time. Help?

If you want the check if the users don’t upload more than 1 photo, for now the only solution is to set the UPLOAD_ROLE in the settings page!

This should also work for running contests!!
