Hello

We are in the process of rewriting the user manual for AUP and the old one for AlphaUserPoints would be a good starting point. If you have this as a PDF file somewhere, thanks fr sharing it.

I'm not mentioning here the developer manual, as this one allready has been adapted to AltaUP, but the end user manual.

Thank you for your help !

2. Click on Rules.
3. Click on Raffle This rule allows to enable a raffle system. System
4. Select Category or leave alone or set to; Other.
5. Select User Level, I would recommend not setting this to Public as you probably only want your users to enter the raffle.. normal is; registered, which is what the default for what your users get assigned when they register.
6. Expires, I don't set this because I don't want the Raffle Rule to expire, but I set my raffle dates to expire, not the Rules itself.
7. I would set yes to all; Display Activity, Published, Auto Approved.
8. Click Tab Message at the top, enter message and select if to display it, if you choose, I would and do.
9. Email Notification Tab, if you select yes the user will get an email when/if they win and you can customize the message accordingly.

- Points to Participate - This is the amount of points that will be deducted (taken away) from EACH Raffle Entry.
- Remove Points to Participate - Do you want the "Points to Participate to be deducted from Users Points?
If Yes, then the Points to Participate from above will be deducted from the users account.
If No, then the user will keep the points to participate and will ONLY need the required Points. Remember NO, means they keep their points
- Number or winner(s) - 1, 2, or 3. - How many people do you want to win the Raffle? In Next step make sure they match!

==To publish your raffle ==

19. Create a new Article, Name is whatever you want for your Raffle, like Simply.. Enter Raffle
- Name the Raffle Title whatever you want, Like.. How much they could win I.E. Enter Raffle to Win 2,000 Points.
- Add your layout and description to whatever you want!

--== To Add The "Enter Raffle Button" put in the general editor, not the HTML, but; just toggle editor to make sure it is under the WYSIWYG editor

DO NOT HAVE ANY SPACES! Take them OUT, There are ONLY spaces so it will show up on the post :)

{ AUP::RAFFLE=1 } 1 is where the ID of your raffle will go, from step above, step 18. (NOTE your Raffle ID!)
{ AUP::RAFFLE=YOUR-RAFFLE-ID-Here }
If your Raffle ID is 25, it would look like this: { AUP::RAFFLE=25 }
- Save
20. Add a menu item (To Any Menu)
- Menu Item Type - Article
- Select Article (Name of the article from step 19)
- Alias I would recommend setting it to raffle (easy, simple.)

Did u ever release an upgraded manual? I read the HELP instructiins but cant get much to work (Joolmla 3 with CB, BUT DID NOT BUT the CB Package, must i?). For example ...

1. The specific aup menu link that shows USER ID, points value etc, shows data for a different user than the one logged in.

2. I cant figure out how to deduct points for users

3. I really need to change the label / field name from points to the name of ingame currency. I searched the entire code, and cant figure out where that field name is specified.

Thanks
