I'm pleased to announce the relaunch of LDraw.org's MOTM/SOTM contest. After
writing a few thousand lines of code, the core functionality for the new contest
and voting module finished. There's not a whole lot different visually but the
archive functionality has been increased. I welcome any ideas regarding the
user front end. Have a look here:
http://www.ldraw.org/index.php?module=LdrawMOTM
I now hand the contest back to the fans of LDraw and open submissions to
MOTM/SOTM once again. Read the rules and submit you model or scene. The
December contest opens on Friday, December 2nd.

P.S. Since I'm still flush with accomplishment, there might be a prize to the
December winners.

All of the actual data comes back as _MODULENOAUTH. I get a blank page (plus
site decorations) with this in it when I click on the most recent winners, and
two columns of this when I search past winners. I'm logged into my ldraw.org
account when this happens.

You found a bug in my code (not unexpected at all considering the size of the
module). I've applied a workaround and everything should be visible now.

I get the same error when I try to click on the voting page:
http://www.ldraw.org/index.php?module=LdrawMOTM&func=ballotindex
It might dissapear when some entries are added...
Btw, the guidelines of MOTM say that we should send in ldr, mpd or dats, and you
will render them from three different angles.. Is that a new rule? There seem to
be a lot of variation of in the old entries, and only one picture each...
Perhaps I’ll try to dig up an old .mpd if there’s a price ;-)
Cheers NB

Yes, it was first implemented for the March 2004 contest.

The different views are for the contest ballot only. Once an entry wins, I
chase one view and make it the primary view. Ideally the author will give
permission to make the dat file public so people can view it from any angle
(although the file won’t go public unless I have the author’s permission).

Yep, looks good. I did notice that the January 2000 MOTM entry has a broken
link for its actual image while browsing, but all the others I looked at worked
fine.

Thanks that's fixed now. I had to enter all the winners in to the database by
hand so I expect a few mistakes that lead to broken images.
