[Millenium IT]

Excelent it got posted. Enjoy people :D

[Hornstar]

now you bring this out lol

I spent heaps of time on this only a week ago on my site lol.

This one looks 10x better tho :D removing my crappy looking one and installing this :)


Edit: I was just looking at last weeks SOTW and we had a joined SOTW where 2 members worked together on the one sig, anyway, you could maybe in a future update, include a way to enter multiple winners?

[FreshFroot]

great hack! will help forum activity!!

[StrifeX]

You guys are welcome, and I hope you don't mind - but I used your site as a demo.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll seriously consider putting an option to put in 2 usernames, separated by a comma or semicolon.

[RMS-Chef]

Nice, thank you.
I am thinking I am going to modify this a little and use it as a Thread of the Week or something.

[pixel2528]

sweet thanks

[Hornstar]

sweet thanks
you have some serious lag lol

anyway, I just thought of another feature:

Possibly where the title is: SOTW #46

If you could make it something similar to: SOTW #46 Vote in SOTW#47 now!

So in the settings, you would have an extra place to add the link to the next SOTW voting and the number of that SOTW

That way it would promote the next voting SOTW as well :)

Just an idea.

[projectego]

Shame this wasn't released two years ago when I was running my old Photoshop forum... oh well. :p Awesome work and thanks for sharing!

[MP1]

OO use my site as a demo, we are using it!!

and this is amazing ! I LOVE YOU!

like this is hack of the month for sure...

[hiphopave]

This is an EXCELLENT hack. However, I have a suggestion.

Currently, clicking on SOTW # (whatever) will take you to the winning thread. Clicking on that should take you to a page with all the previous winners & their respective winning sigs.

[MoB Dudditz MD]

Very nice.
Up until now, I was manually editing the template.
Is there any way to make it forum specific?
I tried changing it to FORUMDISPLAY AND $forumid=x
but I failed. :(

[StrifeX]

You want to make it display in certain forums?

If so, go into the template FORUMDISPLAY

Find: <if condition="$show['threadslist']">

Add Above: <if condition="$forumid == 1">$hs_sotw</if>

OR if you want it to display in multiple forums...

<if condition="in_array($forumid, array(1,2,3))">$hs_sotw</if>


1, 2, and 3 being the forumid's, this should work perfectly fine. If you want you can use more than three forums.

[Kap O]

are you able to like put it on just 1 forum? like it will be cool to like put it on just the graphic section of your site once somebody click on the graphics forum they see that on top or something.

[Kap O]

he just answered my question thanks..

[Kap O]

the question is how can u remove it of your forumhome and just put it in that specific forum?

[TigerSpy]

wow finally perfect mod for my website www.ultimategfx.net/forums

Thank you very much.

the question is how can u remove it of your forumhome and just put it in that specific forum?

By disabling the plugin itself in the Plugin Manager, it will remove it from FORUMHOME but still show in the forums you assign in the template.
Plugins & Products - Plugin Manager
Find: HS - Signature of the Week: Display Location (forumhome_start) and DISABLE.
Then, add the code supplied by StrifeX

This way works for me but it disables everything except what you manually add to templates.I'm sure if you edited the plugin manager code, you could allow for more function.

[StrifeX]

wow finally perfect mod for my website www.ultimategfx.net/forumsYou're welcome. Nice site, considering you're using a skin a great friend of mine made. :)

he just answered my question thanks..You're welcome, and I believe MoB Dudditz MD has done a great job of answering your question. Thanks MoB. :)

[FreshFroot]

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?threadid=153588

[Ryuk]

the other one has no "Location" option plus this one its in a very good release and yet its full free (which the other author said, he will release a better version but he will charge for it)
I love this and it makes what I want, tho for some reason, the member's avatar aint showing up? n_n help appreciated!

*clicks Install*

[FreshFroot]

hmm well the other guy has made his free now.. I'm just deciding on which to use...

[DoB Rhapsody]

I read the posts in this thread and i am still unable to get this mod to ONLY display on my "sotw" forum. any suggestions?

Edit: nvm i got it.

*installed*

[Switch02]

Thanks installed.

wow, we were un-aware that there was another similar mod release to this one. We created the addon from scratch, and didn't use any source/got the idea from that modification. Just to clarify ;)

[MobileBros]

hey is there anyway i can remove this from the forumhome template and only show on the forumdisplay?

[Millenium IT]

Well, im not 100% sure wether this would work, but it should.

Goto Style Manager => Edit Templates => hs_sotw

Find:
<if condition="$vboptions['sotw_enabled'] == 1">

Add below:
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='forumdisplay'">

Find:

</table>
<br />


Add below:

</if>


Hope it works for you ;)

[applyimage]

is this editable so I could simply have 'design of the month' as im running a graphic design forum. Maybe a thumbnail display incase the desin was too large to show the full size image. I don't like the limitations of 'sig of the week' as i dont allow images in sigantures anyway rofl.

Looks very nice i'd like to install.

[lasto]

hi m8 i like this hack but is there anyway i can stop it appearing on forumhome and just have it displayed in one of my sections ?

Wow how weird 2 posts up and someone asks same question :)

actually i only want it on certain forumdisplays (say 2) not every forum

[FreshFroot]

then you would have to add a code to your forumdisplay template..

I may install this hack.. since the other SOTW.. doesn't work properly on 3.6.8 and the creator is to busy to update it.

[lasto]

what would be the code to show on a few forumdisplays but not others ?

[Millenium IT]

worked perfect thanks m8

[Millenium IT]

No problem man, were here to help ;)

[lasto]

you know what would be neat - i know its not going to happen but where avatar is - have an option to load your own pic there for example so you can give the user an Award of some type in that space.

[The Realist]

How do you change the heading from SOTH to Signature Of The Week.

I've looked in the phrases and templates and cant find a change.

Regards.

[lasto]

ijust edited it in this template

Goto Style Manager => Edit Templates => hs_sotw

theres a variable there but i just removed it and added my own text

[The Realist]

Done, thank you.

In fact I forget to look at those template ;)

Working fine now.

[qbn720]

Hey guys I would REALLY like to have this area collapsable, Can somebody give me the code to make it that way? Thanks

[Akiia]

A nice SOTW Hack, Is simple and dependable with not alot of fussing around to set up.

Nice work.

[njoker555]

any way to see the history of the sotw, past winners and their images and maybe even links to the poll?

[FreshFroot]

that is why you have a SOTW forum...

[njoker555]

really? lol

well i wanted to know cuz the other sotw mod has it but has a few other bugs in there

[Greek76]

Great mod but Im having a problem with it. The users avatar is not showing I get the missing image icon's. Any ideas?

[njoker555]

Great mod but Im having a problem with it. The users avatar is not showing I get the missing image icon's. Any ideas?

yea i had that too along with wanting to know if there is a way to check the history lol

[Greek76]

I guess its safe to assume we are on our own with this.

[njoker555]

I guess its safe to assume we are on our own with this.

lol yup, i just wont use this mod :( i cant cuz it doesn't meet my needs

[Greek76]

What ahappen to this guy. Did he dissapear? lol Still waiting for a response. Its a good mod.

[glorify]

I modded this for a Profile of the Month for 3.7. Strife--pm me if you will allow me to release it. I can't get ahold of you any other way. You can see it here (http://www.glorifythepast.com/forums/index.php).

[Nate Dawg]

Great hack, thanks a lot :) Might I suggest an option to remove the "prize" field, as all forums do not necessarily offer prizes for the winners.

[thefullmaza]

thanks Winner's Avatar not working bro

[TCE Killa]

Does this work for vBulletin 3.6.8?

[TCE Killa]

Great mod, thanks.

[BigDog56]

thanks Winner's Avatar not working bro
It's not in mine either, unless it's an avatar that was from an outside source, like photobucket. Then it works.

[katie hunter]

Hi, Nice hack =]

[TCE Killa]

How do you get the winners avatar to work?

[BigDog56]

How do you get the winners avatar to work?

A few of us trying to figure that one out...

[dancue]

First of all, Thank you for this wonderful hack. It is working perfectly fine on my forum.

If I can make a suggestion I'd like to see the ability to add the forum id's to the settings in admincp.

I'd also like to see the ability to use this hack for flyer OTW, Avatar OTW and so on. I have a section in my forums for graphics and this would really suit it.

This is still a wonderful hack! Thanks!

[dancue]

I noticed that when I use the code to place the sotw in a specific forum the rating does not appear.

Help?

[chikkoo]

Thanks for the wonderful Mod.
Clicked Installed, and Nominated MOTM.

Can I make it apear for a month? like Signature of the Month?

and also I want to give some flashy effects to the Current Winner's Username or User Title that apperar in all posts? Would it be nice? Can some one suggest me How do I do that?

[BigDog56]

Diod anybody ever figue out on how to get the avatar to show up if the member is using a "Stock" avatar?

[dancue]

I noticed that when I use the code to place the sotw in a specific forum the rating does not appear.

Help?

Anyone? It's not a huge deal, but I like the ratings feature.

[ny_cuban]

Just thought You should know it works great on 3.7.0 nice job

[Playa82]

is there an archive option ? that would be cool

[Playa82]

is there an archive option ? that would be cool

[meonet]

There is a chance to have this mod also for vb4?

[ragarcia87]

There is a chance to have this mod also for vb4?

+1 I'd love this for vbulletin 4 as well.

[Boko577]

Same! vB4 please!!! Really looking forward for a mod like this!

[InsomniacP]

Same! vB4 please!!! Really looking forward for a mod like this!

Dito fella, would be nice to see this ported over to 4 & upwards... :up:

[Eduardo Leon]

and this not work in vb 4 ?

[EquinoxWorld]

Dude this for vb4 would be sick, I'd be willing to pay the dev up front for it but also including for AOTW (avy of the week) as well as SOTW. StrifeX if you'r interested in making some extra flow let me know.

[OldSchoolDSL]
