Very nice. Thank you!

[]Info/Instructions: just change the pointer to the main.inc.php file[/]

What pointer?

You need to fill in the appropriate threads path on line 21:
$threadspath = "/home/ctadmin/public_html/ubbthreads";

The real instructions are imbedded in the file itself. Just read the commented out stuff(//in front of it) and make the appropriate adjustments. You won't need to adjust anything after line 29, unless you have your main.inc.php file someplace other than the default(which is highly unlikely).

So, its basically edit your path(which you can find in your threads config), make the appropriate adjustment to line 25 if you're running the IIP side bar, and change yes to no on line 29 if you don't want moderators to be able to run raffles. Its a very simply to configure addon.

Have fun.:)

Thank you Slayer60, but I'm still not getting it. How do I apply the raffle.php? I uploaded the file to my UBBT folder, but don't know what to do at this point.

TIA

Well, I don't know what your url is but, basic go here:

http://www.yourdomain.com/yourthreadsfolder/raffle.php

I've not used this myself, but I believe that it is pretty striaght forward from there. Looking at the code, I see that it will have a form that you fill out to specify your criteria.
