Competitions for Xenforo 2 2.0.11

Update highlights

The competition forum type needs to be enabled in a forum for a competition thread to correctly display tabs for the Competition and Discussion.
So we have added an admin option to automatically enable the competition type for a forum when a competition thread is created in it.
And we added the functionality to automatically enable competitions in forums on-the-fly when a competition thread is created there.
Admin is presented with an error if they try to create a competition where the thread's hosting forum does not have competition thread types enabled.


Complete Change Log

Xenforo 2.2 forum type compatibility update.
- Added automatic configuration for nodes to enable competition thread support on-the-fly (default=on).
- Added options toggle to prevent auto node configuration (defaults to enabled).

Update highlights

Major update introducing categories plus some very useful features for admin


Complete Change Log

New features:
  1. Tabs on the competitions page to separate Open, Completed and (viewable with permission only) Unpublished competitions.
  2. Categories. Admin can create categories and then assign competitions to a category. Users can then use a category filter to see the competitions in the categories of interest.
  3. Filter also has options for users to sort competitions by different criteria.
  4. Competitions meta description text admin option added for use in the competitions hope page.
  5. EU countries option added to the list of allowed territories.
  6. Option to show a small alert badge next to the competitions menu item showing the number of new competitions since the user’s last visit. It’s exactly like the number of new messages badge. This is cleared when the user visits any competition page.
  7. Competition archive is now paginated.
  8. Competition archive is now filterable by keyword.
  9. Competition archive now contains a link to view a paginated list of the entrants for each competition. The list displays the text entry field (required by law in some territories) for each entrant.
Changes:
  1. Territory (for competition entry eligibility) now determined via Cloudflare if available.
  2. Removed obsolete list configuration option from the admin setup page.
  3. Adjusted some phrases.
Bug fix:
  1. Uploaded images (excluding the thumbnail which needs to be a specific size for correct display in the sidebar) retain their original aspect ratio.
