[mhehm]

hello
sorry for my bad english.

I want to have a photo contest by phocagallery.

this work will be done with rate to category images. The images that have more points are the winners. I just need to set a period time dor rating to category images. I've added a date field to category parameters that user can set date of end rating. i added this by edit joomla_root/administrator/components/com_phocagallery/models/forms/phocagalleryc.xml
and i add another date field under date field and add a column to database with phpmyadmin. it work.

in file: joomlaroot/components/com_phocagallery/views/detail/tmpl/default_rating.php
line: if ((int)$this->tmpl['displayratingimg'] == 1)
i need to say that if current date is after category `rate end date` (the field that i added to category). rating tools disable


how i do that???
how i get fields of category that current image is in that ?

With the previous post changes, you can set up your photo contest.
for this do below steps:
1- create category
2- in category settings set "Upload Rights" to "all registered users"
3- in category settings set "Category Folder"
3- in category Publishing Options set "Rating Ends Date"

do not forget to in phocagallery option to active rating setting and User Control Panel to allow users to can upload images and rate photos
