For now, you can use these sql codes:

WP PhotoContest V1.2.3.1 dbDump

DON’T FORGET TO CHANGE [WP_PREFIX] to your prefix (myprefix_)

seanx820,

Did you follow the follwing directions:

Copy page.php or index.php to skins/aqua/template.tpl
Open template.tpl (in wordpress or your favorite editor)
Replace from:
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
to:

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

(and anything in between)

with
[WP-PHOTOCONTEST CONTENT]

Hi Joeydav,

The anser is simple. You found a bug which should be solved in version 1.2.3.1

In either case, please report back!

Third post:

The far bigger problem: What file permissions set upon upload
Depends which version you are using:
< 1.2: The main directory (/plugins/wp-photocontest) needs write permissions for the user who runs the site (apache user)
>= 1.2: Only the CONTEST_HOLDER directory (default: /plugins/wp-photocontest/photocontest_holder) needs write permissions for the user who runs the site (apache user)

Using the built-in settigns (media uploader?)
I will look into that and if its not to hard to integrate I will.

Ok, starting with your first post:

Permalinks:
This plugin doesn’t use any permalinks and will not be developed in the near future (or anyone is interested to help development!)

Template used for the individual contests:
The plugin creates a page with a link to enter the contest (or if you use the refresh option in the admin panel, a view of the latest 9 pictues).
All other pages after that are generated by the plugin. Other have reported that the first versions of this plugin, broke their sites (mainly the position of the sidebar). I have created a function that will read the wp-photocontest/skins/<skinname>/templates.tpl file and replaces the string

[WP-PHOTOCONTEST CONTENT]

with the generated content. You need to create the templates file or else the plugin will print a blank page with a warning and the generated content. View the Customization part of the documentation.

Sorry, the author (me 😉 didn’t know about the support forum… but I’m here and will try to answer all questions within 24 hours!!

Greets,
Frank
