Prize Giveaway Portlet
v0.5.5 - 2012-05-14
Tested on Liferay 6.0.6
Introduction
This is a simple prize giveaway portlet application for Liferay.
A user enters her personal data, takes the prize giveaway survey and at the end she will receive a code to write down and save.
At the end of the giveaway an administrator can retrieve a winner's data by entering a user code.
The application is composed of 2 portlets:
- Prize Giveaway portlet
- Prize Giveaway Admin portlet (administration)
Installation
Create a MySQL DB using the SQL file provided in the download section (together with the corresponding WAR.)
Create a DB user and assign full control on the DB.
Configure the following files inside the WAR:
You also need to change the DB username and password in these files inside the WAR:
- /WEB-INF/classes/hibernate.cfg.xml (not strictly necessary)
- /WEB-INF/classes/hibernate.properties
Now you can drop the WAR into Liferay's deploy/ folder.
The final step: install the IGI Survey portlets version 1.2.3 and create a survey named Prize Giveaway Survey (Currently you need to give the survey this exact name.)
Please note that the SQL tables for the IGI Survey portlet are included in the SQL file provided with the Prize Giveaway portlet.
Notes
Please remember to clean up all data after a giveaway in order to have meaningful data for the next one. This version supports only one giveaway survey to exist at any given time.
The ability to associate each giveaway with its own participants and survey data is an upcoming feature.
