Plugin Description

Important

WHEN USING AUTO-UPGRADE WITH VERSION BELOW 1.3.5, BE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR DATABASE, THE CONTEST_HOLDER AND SKINS DIRECTORY.
From version 1.3.5 and higher, the auto-upgrading should work. If the restore fails, copy the upgrade/wp-photocontest_[date]/* to the plugins/wp-photocontest. Note: The following directories need write permission for the updater AND the user apache runs under:
- /wp-content/upgrade
- /wp-content/plugins
- /wp-content/plugins/wp-photocontest
- /wp-content/plugins/wp-photocontest/*
If the contest doesn’t work after the upgrade, please use the “Force database upgrade!” link in the setting page!

Customization

The plugin provides a config entry in wp-photocontest-config.php file to skins the pages
created by WP-PhotoContest. This entry points to a directory underneath the ‘skins’ directory.
This directory must contain the following files:

template.tpl : This file is used as template for the pages created by WP-PhotoContest (*)
theme.css : This stylesheet is used for styling the pages created by WP-PhotoContest

To create a new skin, you can copy the aqua directory in the directory ‘skins’ into and other
directory and edit as aproperiate. Then change the ‘CONTESTS_SKIN’ contant in
wp-photocontest-config.php file.

(*) Important:
When using a theme, you need to copy page.php or index.php to template.tpl
and replace “The_Loop” with [WP-PHOTOCONTEST CONTENT]. See for more information:
‘http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop’

There needs to be a class called ‘content_wppc’. The contest will be placed in the HTML-tag
with this class.
