Adds the ability to view details of past contests.

I have a problem. Going to Present Contests then View Contest Entries takes me to Writing Contest Entry page. Now, I have various sets of contests, they are for the same category but they differ in languages. However, when you enter one of the Russian contests in the above described way, no matter which one, it only shows - and always - the heading in the drop-down menu for one of the contest for poems (from the little drop-down menu where you choose the Contests). It is irritating since members:

a) think they got into the poems contest whereas they are in different contest in reality (the one they actually intended to view).

b) it's not to possible to navigate to the poems contest, since even though you are in the short stories contest and it is showing this contest entries correctly, the drop-down menu is stuck on the poems contest and navigating from short stories to the poems needs first going to some other language contest, only from there to the poems.

This happens persistently with the Russian contests. I've noticed the same in English contests (entering short story contest shows poems contest on the menu hence impossibility to navigate to the poems right away), however, this seems to come and go, unlike the Russian speaking contests error.

 PM me your site details so I can see a demo of this. I do not quite follow all that you are saying here.

Patch 2.0.8 Released. (See patches/version_2.0.8 folder in zip file)

Modification made to the paid entries functionality.

This mod is now updated for Dolphin 7.1

Writing Contest - An issue with the functionality to allow a member to vote more than once has been resolved.

Re-upload modules\modzzz\writingcontest\classes folder.

I'm wondering if the 'Writing Contests' and 'Photo Contests' mods could be made to work with 'Ultimate Points - With Levels' from modzz.

That would be some awesome integration; when 'Ultimate Points - With Levels' works as it should from the admin interface, of course.

 Both Contest mods already work with Points.

Writing Contest - Patch 2.0.9 Released. (See patches/version_2.0.9 folder in zip file)

Ability to show a snippet (instead of the full details) of contest and contest entries in browse blocks. Admin can turn this on/off.

While trying to keep up-to-date with everything, I've just seen this on your module page.

Product isn't selling, further product support and update maybe unavailable.

I have bought this module but never used it, as with Photo Contests.

I am in the process of upgrading Dolphin from 7.1.6 to 7.3.0 and have these two modules that might never work as intended.

While you might not wish to offer a refund on these products, perhaps you could offer replacement modules that will be maintained?
