Hello Guys,

We've just finished work on the Fully Customizable Prize/Game plug-in for Ventrino Software.

The plug-in is fully customizable with templates, much the same way as you customized your TE.

You can offer up to 9 different prizes, including combo prizes (that is, cash & credits, or even cash, credits, banners and texts!)

The plug-in can be run as either a prize page, a game page, or a combination of the two, meaning at random either one or the other.

For a limited time it will be available for 50$, but the price will be going up shortly to 75$.

I hope you enjoy the script and make good use of it.
=============================================
NEW NEW NEW
New manager page, easier to work with than before.
SQL code to "shrink" the db:
SQL
DELETE FROM ryg_prizegame_stats WHERE date < "2009-06-01"

will delete all entries older than June 1, 2009
=============================================
=============================================
NEW NEW NEW
Completely re-written!!!
New features, includes the ability to set a "maximum" amount per prize (Total per prize option) the ability to display on the manager which page you are running as (Prize page replacement, Games page replacement, or Controlled Rotation.)

Also you no longer need the SQL code to "shrink" the db, you simply set the number of days you want to keep data for, and it does the housekeeping for you!
=============================================

Thanks,

Ray

What kind of game Ray?
surfaholic
Do you have a demo we can take a look at?

You can see it in action on Traffic Jamms!

Hello Ladies and Gents,

It's a game that can be customized to your own look and feel, and heck, you can call it what you want. The beauty of this game, imho, is that you can truly make it your own.

Basically the game is a simple push a button, win a prize type of game, you can set from 1 to 6 buttons on the page, and depending on how lucky your member is, they press a button, and either are rewarded with a prize, or are told sorry, try again.

But if you don't want a game, instead you simply want to give away different types of prizes, you could set it to Prize mode, and the page that appears will simply advise your member that s/he has won XX as a prize.

And you can set it to do one or the other at random... smile.gif

The prizes are set up by the individual owners. You can set the game to give out cash, credits, banners or text ads. You can offer a combination of these as well (cash & credits; cash, credits & texts; etc.)

Thanks Scott for getting the game up and running in a live environment and letting others know about it!

If you want to see a manager interface, I've got one available on my beta site for a limited time... You'll be able to access this until Tuesday next week with these credentials:
User: AdminTester
Pass: Adm1nT3st3r
site: http://beta.theroadtoonlinesuccess.biz

You'll also get a peek at the Personalized splash page settings here. smile.gif

In the manager you set:
Prizes - a list of 9 prizes that can be awarded to your members, inculding these types of prizes: Cash, Credits, Banners, Texts, Combo1, Combo2, Combo3, Combo4 & Combo5 (identified as prize 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 respectively)
The Prize list could be something like this: 3,3,3,4,4,4,1,2,5
This means 3 prizes of Banners, 3 prizes of Banners (3x3's), 3 prizes of Texts (3x4's), one Cash Prize(1x1), one Credit Prize(1x2) and one Combo1 Prize(1x5)

Combo Prize Types
i.e. : combo5 = 2,3,4 (Credits, Banners & texts)

Amounts per prize,
i.e.
Prize 1 Amount = 25 Banners
Prize 2 Amount = 50 Banners
Prize 3 Amount = 100 Banners
Prize 4 Amount = 250 Texts
Prize 5 Amount = 500 Texts
Prize 6 Amount = 1000 Texts
Prize 7 Amount = .05 Cash
Prize 8 Amount = 10 Credits
Prize 9 Amount = 10 Credits & 25 Banners & 250 Texts
(assuming prize list above of 3,3,3,4,4,4,1,2,5)

Finally allowing you to set, via the manager, what you want to show when you say you're sorry about the loss in the game. Many will probably use the template instead though. smile.gif

Take a look, let me know what you think!

One improvement has been suggested, and will be implemented at a future date, that is, a prize cap. When a given amount of prizes have been awarded, that prize is removed from the game.

Hi Ray,

This is fantabulous! rolleyes.gif biggrin.gif rolleyes.gif biggrin.gif

Is it as easy to install as you say it is to configure???? ohmy.gif

I would like to purchase this. Please direct me to a link for purchasing.

Thanx!

Hello To all,

There have been a number of updates to the original design for this page, including a better "cheater_catcher" and a report going back to admin about possible cheaters.

There has also been added some limited reporting on what has been awarded to members during surfing. This is still preliminary and winds up taking a lot of page room, as I haven't yet "paged" the results, will be done soon.

Coming over the next few days will include a brief summary of what has been given away, in a format similar to:
QUOTE
Cash | Credits | Banners | Texts
amt | amt | amt | amt

I've had a couple of reports from clients and have tried to answer them all, if anyone feels they have been missed, please let me know. For those who have not yet seen the newly improved cheater_catcher, please use your download link from your email to download the latest package.

-- Claudia, the purchase link can be found in the signature:

I just had to jump in and comment. I LOVE THIS SCRIPT, YOU SET IT ONCE AND FORGET IT, [ UNLESS YOU WANT TO CHANGE SOMETHING ]

I used my own graphics and made my own buttons and it is so cool. It was so easy to customize it to how I wanted it to look for my site using my own graphics and buttons.

Love it Ray, simply love it!!!
Robin Bouwhuis
That's not what I heard you say when we first started to set up your script tongue.gif


I am glad that you are liking it now though smile.gif I know that we put in a good bit of time to setup the customization for you. The time is ALWAYS well spent!

Robin
Lorraine
LOL, naughty boy Robin. I had to figure out what the heck I was doing. I try to give Ray a good plug and you come along and mess it up. You should have just agreed with me cause I know you like it too.
Robin Bouwhuis
Yep, I like it. It was worth every penny, and I would buy it again in a heartbeat.
RayDube
laugh.gif

You guys crack me up!

I know how much Robin likes the script, and I've a pretty good idea how Lorraine felt about it at first... wink.gif But once you've got it set up to your liking, the tweaks over time are relatively simple and painless... smile.gif

Now for the next big thing eh? smile.gif

Ray

I love it too, it is brilliant.
Thank you Ray excellent biggrin.gif

Hi Ray

The plug in is going good and I still love it however is there a way to do something about all the rows in the database?
I have 4737 rows and it is going to be a space hogger if we leave it to grow and grow. The info is useful and I do check the rows for info but it is very time consuming going through page after page looking for info.
Robin Bouwhuis
HI Surfaholic,

You can run this command:

delete From ryg_prizegame_stats where date < "2008-11-01 00:00:00"

just change the date to be the cut off. I run this each month, so my table doesn't get too full.

There is also a way to modify the default from 15 records shown per page. I have mine set to 50 so that I have less pages.

Hope this helps,

Robin

Hi Robin

Thanks for that info very helpful, I will run that command every so often.
How can it be modified to show 50 pages? I can't seem to find it and it is probably staring me in the face

It's not staring you in the face. Its in the php files. I will need to find it and post it for you.

Robin
Robin Bouwhuis
ok in the file public_html\manager\custom\prizegame_manager.php

Scroll to the bottom (well almost bottom) and look for this code:



</table>
</p>
<?
$limit=15;
$Prev = "Previous";
$Next = "Next";


If you change

$limit=15;

to

$limit=50;

this will display 50 records on the page. You can change that number to 100, 75, or any value that you want to have. Just remember that it will need to load that many records upon each page load, so I would not go much past 100.

THANKS FOR THIS INFO ROBIN, I HAD OVER 5500 IN THERE, LOL. I STILL LOVE THIS SCRIPT AND MEMBERS SEEM TO LIKE IT ALSO, A LOT.
RayDube
So I guess I need a "prune" feature eh?

I'll add that to the list.

Ray
surfaholic
Yes Ray a prune feature would be great.
RayDube
it's been added to the list.

Ray....Do you still offer these custom games??

I am interested biggrin.gif
RayDube
Hi Sheila,

Yes, we are still offering all of our scripts at our corporate web address. If you've got signatures enabled, you should see links in my signature. smile.gif

Ray
rooster02
Ray

I did check them out.

So if I order the games, do they override the ones in the script?

And, do you do customized games? Like if I wanted roosters or eggs or chicken or barns.. LOL tongue.gif
RayDube
Hi Sheila,

No, they don't override the current games in the system, and are actually accessed via the controlled rotation.

As for customized scripts, I do those all of the time, but I created this prize/game script so that the look and feel can be customized at a lower cost than a fully customized game. You may surf multiple sites with the same game and not even know it. You can add your own buttons, so the roosters, eggs, chickens or barns can replace the simple default buttons... smile.gif

Ray
The JaceMan
Ray,

Could we maybe get a slightly customized version of this script?

What do you typically charge for code work? We have an idea, very similar to this one -- that we'd like to institute.

Thanks in advance. Feel free to PM me if you'd like.

-- Little details about our customization...

We are Carnival themed, as you can see. Or will be when we launch middle of the month.

We'd like to let our users go on a carnival "ride" every 25 sites they surf. At every 100 sites they surf, they can choose to go for a ride OR play a carnival game instead.

When they choose to ride - there are 3 ride TYPES...

The first is free - and always pays out bonus credits... 1 to 10 (with double pay outs for paid members)
The second type costs 2 credits (it can pay out 0, 2, 5, 10, 15, or 20 credits -- again, double for paid members)
The third type costs 5 credits (it can pay out 0, 5, 10, 20, 25, or 40 credits -- same doubling rule applies)

After 100 surfs they can do a ride again or risk "big money" playing a midway game. -- It costs 10 credits and they can lose ANOTHER 10 by being sucked it by the carnival barker to play and lose again, win 0 (still a loss of 10), or win 25 or 50 credits (doubling rule still applies)

That's the GENERAL idea.

Hello Ray,

I love your prize/game script & personal splash script that is installed at Relentless Chaos. The owner before me did a great job.

Is payment paid through PayPal and USA funds? Do you install the script when someone buys your product?

Is there a default prize/game page & default personal splash? Then the TE owner designs it or pays someone to design it for them?

I'm asking these questions because I would love to have your scripts added to my other traffic exchanges.

Lisa
RayDube
Hi Lisa,

The Prize/Game Script does have a default design, but the personal splash page doesn't, not really anyway. There's something very basic to give an example of how it's used, that's all.

Installation is a little bit extra, and can be ordered at the same time as the scripts themselves.

For good personal splash pages, see Scott/Nujams here, he's done for me and for others, a real good job too! smile.gif

Ray

I will be a future customer when I get some money.

It will be the Prize/Game script and I will pay you the extra to install it. I saw Installation on the site now next to Options.
RayDube
I'm very glad to hear that!

I'm hoping to make some significant improvements to the script as soon as I've completed work on the Team surf.

Hi Ray,

I just purchased the prize/game plugin... I uploaded it to my site, then tried to update. It wouldn't
update. Just told me to contact support. lol

Should I just pay to have you reinstall it for me?

Very Nice signature Michelle..

When is the Team Surf coming out Ray.. biggrin.gif Ray's features are AWESOME...

And now back to our regular featured topic... tongue.gif


Michelle, the update is for only those who are upgrading from one version to another, otherwise the install is all you have to do.

Please test the settings and if they are not working, contact me through the raying site and I'll take a look.

Hey Hey Hey!

Yes, I've listened to the comments made both in forum and mostly via IM (IM had more in the way of gripes and complaints though smile.gif )

The manager for the Prize Game script has been overhauled a little bit. Ok, not really an overhaul, more of a change of view, to hopefully make it a little bit easier.

If you're a prize game client, get an email off to me and I'll send you the updated file. It's only a page update, no database changes, nothing complicated. Simply upload the new prizegame_manager.php file to your site and you're good to go with the new, hopefully improved, manager. smile.gif

Ray
bellx
Hi Ray, guess I need the update. Also is there a way to clear the stats I have 500 pages or so?
RayDube
Hi Nick,

To shrink the database, you can use this sql code.
SQL
DELETE FROM ryg_prizegame_stats WHERE date < "2009-06-01"

this will delete all entries older than June 1, 2009

We've got some improvements coming in which will allow you to set the max number of days to keep data in the database, but that won't be for a little while yet.

Ray
bellx
Thanks Ray that worked great, obviously I can just change the date and use it whenever needed. Can I get the update for the prize/game?

You can send it to tnttraffic_at_inbox.com

Thanks:)
Cathy
Hi Ray,

This update for the prize manager is soo much easier to use.

Thanks,

Hello everyone


Does anyone seem to have the ryg_prizegame_win.php file for Rays Game/prize Plugin

Somehow im getting a syntax error in line 2 of the file

Does anyone have the php code so i can replace the code and swap it


Thanks
Craig
RayDube
Hey Craig,

I hope you got the replacement already, I have to admit I didn't hear back from the mail I sent, hopefully you got it... I'll have to send a follow up today, in case we aren't both here at the same time.

Also, should note that there are currently 3 versions of the script out there, not all have followed through on the upgrades as they became available, and one version seems to work great on some hosts, while a second version works better on others...

One of the reasons we're going to re-write the script this summer to get it working just find everywhere. Using a bit of new ideas and adding improvements as well.

Ray
Michael Picard
Hello Ray

Sorry it took so long.

Since you installed the prize page i have been really busy with my traffic exchnage

Prize page is working wonderful.

The only question i have is.

Is there something to go off as far as how everything should look in the configuration.

The manual and the examples on your website are a little different then what i have in my control panel Game prize mod

Looking forward to the new written script.

Ray i will have to say for this just being a mod. Its an awesome script and every one of my members love it.

I love the way you can redesign the game page to your liking.

Very customizable.

One more thing. Im very big on customer support as i give the best quality support on all my businesses

I will have to say the customer support from you is great.Very responsive and polite.

I will recommend your services to everyone.

Very well done. great job.

Thanks
Michael
RayDube
Why, I think I'm blushing! (why are there no blushing smilies? wink.gif )

Thank you very much Michael, I've always thought that if you can't do customer service, you shouldn't deal with customers... smile.gif

Ray

Oh, and BTW, the *NEW* PrizeGame script is now available again, completely rewritten and past through some pretty thorough testing by myself and a few select partners. There are feature additions as well as performance and security improvements. And it's at the same old price (we were going to increase the price, what with the new features, but I changed our minds... tongue.gif )

lordcrankyass
hello

i have a couple questions.

what do you mean when you say this does random choices?? does it randomly choose the game or prize or how often the page shows up?

can it be made to show up randomly??

is there a way to make it give random prizes in the timer bar tooo?

is there a way to make more then 9 prizes??

thank you
