I've been working through the documentation for this module without a whole lot of luck to date. Entirely possible that I'm missing something related to the content types or views that I've created, but it's tough to know for sure. Any chance that there's a feature or some views export code from a working implementation out there to check out?

I'm trying to create a simple photo contest that allows for more than one winner. However, despite the fact that I've selected multiple winners (max 3) in my simple contest settings, I've been unable to get the module to record more than one winner in the simple_contest_results table and do not see anything in the view settings that I can use to assign a rank.

Is this a bug, or something that I'm missing about the setup and config?

Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

1. from simple contest settings page, set "Maximum winners:" to 3
2. in 'winner selection' view set the sorting order based on your contest implementation

if you are sure that module is not working, please reopen this issue.

Thanks. I had the max winners value set to 3 and wasn't able to get this to work. Ended up creating a custom view based off of the value of a CCK node reference field to get around the problem and am no longer using the module.

I'm having the same problem, simple_contest_results table has only one record although in the statistics table its shows that the actual winners are 3.
anyone can help??

I have another weird behavior. If I set the contest "maximum winner field" to 10 winners, I get 5 winners (5 entrys) in the database. But the weight/rank of the winners is: 1, 2, 6, 8, 10.

If I set the "maximum winner field" to 5 winners, I get 4 winners with a weight/rank: 1, 2, 3, 5

If I set the "maximum winner field" to 15 winners, I get 7 winners with a weight/rank: 1, 2, 6, 11, 13, 14, 15

What is wrong?

Thank you
