New Competition Options

[psychocat]

Figured it out!

I am just wondering if you are aware that at the top of the competition listing there is a nbsp tag  : &nbspClosing Date: I am guessing it is coming up because there needs to be a gap in between the p and C...

Yes, the options system is up and running!
I do have some errors logged in the background which I'm sorting out but it is working.

Is it possible to get some sort of option that we can select when we have read a competition to mark whether we have entered it?

This is possible and I've been thinking about doing this.

Just one small suggestion, is it OK to put a box for 'All States' in the States section so we don't have to tick 8 boxes.  That would be great!!!

The problem with the "All States" checkbox is that it would have to be a radio button instead of a checkbox.
ie, if you clicked "ALL STATES", all other checkboxes would have to be greyed out so you can't choose "All States" and "NSW".
It's just the way I wrote the code, and I can change this later when I figure out how to do the code.

I was wondering if it could include children's competitions and for less frequent than monthly (i.e. 3 monthly)?

This is for every type of competition, it's not supposed to replace the competition categories we already have - ie: 'People's Choice,  Web Comps, Children's comps" ...
I can add more options like every 3 months? - yes but where do we stop? - (bi-monthly, every 6 months)

Also, in the Requirements section, is it OK to add 'Slogan' and also 'Recipe'...

I would have thought that these two are answers.

These are all great suggestions and thanks for providing some thought  
As far as adding lots of new checkboxes, we don't want to making it too daunting of a task to enter comps, but, if a new checkbox is really needed and we can't use an existing one, I'll add it.

If anybody has any more suggestions please keep them coming. Thanks.

oops! I noticed an error with the New Competition Options.

The options don't get recorded during the initial post, you need to go back and edit the comp and select the options again.

I will try to figure out what is wrong this evening.
I'm very sorry about this.

Is it possible to put an 'Instore Entry' option in the Entry method section please?  For competitions like this: http://compingclub.com/index.php?topic=99154.msg412246#msg412246

Also in the Requirements section could there be a 'Refer a Friend' option?

it's great admin - just one more tiny step but it's so good having all those options

Didn't get an answer to this one yet - can we PLEASE have an Instore Entry option?  I've just posted another comp http://compingclub.com/index.php?topic=99898.msg414292#msg414292 where you need to enter in person!

We  already have 'You need to subscribe to something' which should cover TV, magazines, websites, etc..
