Topic (incl. Blog) of the Week/Fortnight/Month Nomination v1.636

[J98680Bxxxxx]

On my board (USS Enterprise, NCC-1701-D), we get many comments daily or weekly on many different topics and there are so many topics in the community that to be honest, we had a tough time remembering the topic being reviewed to offer a timely comment or response. Obviously, we needed a weekly/monthly topic nomination system with which we could get our community to commit to one topic as a group and then comment on it during the course of the week/month.

Cruising vB.org at warp speed, I failed to find a nomination system readily available. Hence, I quickly wrote this mod (on my way to the bridge).

Acknowledgement:
This release would not have been quickly possible without the existence of most hacks released at vB.org, especially the "Thank You" hack by Abe1, which provided this mod basis structure. Our thanks and all the merit goes to Abe1.

A nice set of button and awards images have also been kindly provided by PrinceEdward to whom we also extend our thanks.

Many constructive feedbacks have been given by those members at the vB.org community who downloaded the first releases of this Mod, the implementation of which has led to an improved version of the Mod. We extend our thanks to those members.

What this mod does

It adds a "Topic Of The Week/Month" nomination system to your community.

What is Topic Of The Week/Month?

Topic of the Week/Month is a contest that select posts on which your community can commit to as a group and then comment/discuss on them during the course of the selected week/month. Any listed topic (post, thread) is eligible for the Topic of the Week/Month selection.

What determines a Topic Of The Week/Month?

Topic Of The Week/Month is based on a simple nomination system. Throughout the selected forums, members with adequate permissions can nominate their favorite topic by clicking on the award nomination button below the post.

The five topics with the most votes during the course of the week/month are automatically displayed on a nomination thread including a poll feature. At the end of the week/month, the first three topics with the most votes are the award winners of the contest.

Cron file completely rewritten. Why?
The previous cron file worked fine only when they were activated manually from the Run button in the Admin CP, but they were failing to run on their own as a scheduled task. I noticed that vbulletin global variables were no longer been passed to the cron file. Why??? I have actually getting the values of vbulletin global variables needed for the cron directly from the database.
If you noticed that the "Nomination Thread" of the past week did not closed properly, proceed as follow:

Open the cron file (upload/included/cron/
Search for "// $createNewThread = 1;"
Replace it by: "$createNewThread = 1;"
Upload the cron file and run it manually (only once), just to close the previous thread and open a new one.
Upload the original cron file back (the one with "// $createNewThread = 1;")



Update in version 1.51

For weekly nominations, Cron file set to create a new "Nomination Thread" every MONDAY's (00:10AM) as the week numbering starts on Monday's and not on Sunday's (as set in v 1.50)


If you are running v 1.50 with weekly cycle time and noticed that a new nomination thread has been created but the display title is still that of the previous thread (week 30), then this is for you. Do not delete the newly created nomination thread (with title week 30). On Monday 21st July, 2008, after 00:10AM, proceed as follow:


Refresh your poll from the ACP -> Nominate Topic -> Refresh Poll (This will update the display title of both the poll and the nomination thread)
Upload the content of the attachment v 1.51 to your root directory. (DO NOT MANUALLY RUN THE CRON FILE)



Topic of the Week-Month Nomination v1.51 Updated Prod and Cron

Automatic PM subject phrase moved from "<phrasetype name="Email Subject Text" fieldname="emailsubject">" to "<phrasetype name="GLOBAL" fieldname="global">"

- from the features : # Option to ban selected usergroups from using the mod
# Option to ban selected users from using the mod. Can this also be selected usergroups who can use this system ?

Thank's :D

No conflicts as far as I could test it.

No conflicts as far as I could test it.

ok. Is there any special permissions for mods and admin ?

For this : Specify the Forum ID that will receive nomination threads. Also specify the User ID of the nomination thread owner. ---> is this required to set it up in the VB options ?

Sorry if I asked to much :D

[gwerzal]

Sweet i can use this for competitions.

[verino]

one problem.

When I tried to vote for TOTM of 1 thread, it gives me a blank page.

The path is : http://myforum address/nominate_topic.php?do=showtnominationhread

Only those with access to the ACP can modify the mod options.

The mod automatically creates a thread that displays the ongoing poll result. To create a thread, a user id is needed and a forum id is needed to host the thread.

You can consider creating a special forum, let say TOTW or TOTM, that will keep threads containing results (polls) of nomination contests. Use the ID of that forum. If no user is specified for ownership of nomination results threads, the mod uses the user of ID = 1 as default owner.

maybe I do this wrong, regarding the erros above I received.

Ok, will try to do like you said.

You need to run the scheduled job.

[verino]

Ok, now it works by pressing the nominate button on 1st post.

I set for monthly nomination, so it means the thread will be shown in the special room I created after a month ? CMIIW :D

[verino]

The scheduled job already run. The problem is I need to create special room to host the nominated threads.

[redlabour]

Hi, miss the Option for Forum where Topics are excluded from being nominated.

[Hasann]

thanks a lot dude
one question: can I use this modification for month of the hack?

[J98680Bxxxxx]

Yes. Just select "Monthly" as cycle time instead of "Weekly". :)

The starting thread is created immediately once you proceed with step 6 of the installation. At the begining of a new month, a new thread will be automatically created for the next contest. :)

Hi,
awsome hack !
*Installed&Nominated*
Is there a way of using the postbit diplay of it on postbit_legacy please ?
Thank you in advance
~Green Cat

[redlabour]

Problem - it is not completely phrased:

...(first nominated post)...
...(second nominated post)...
...(third nominated post)...
...(fourth nominated post)...
...(fifth nominated post)...
...(remanining nominations cummulated)...

And at the ThreadTitle and PostBit:

Of The Month August

And:

Which post should win the .............. contest?"

and it seems this is not in the Product - seems Hardcoded in functions_nominate_topic. :(

Sorry - clicked Deinstall and cleared MOTM since there is a fully updated Phrased Release.

Yes, there is, but, I disabled that piece of code. Will re-enable it once I get sufficient feedback to proceed with the next release.

Once a topic (post/thread) is nominated, those "phrases" are automatically updated with the nominee title. Checkout screen shot: image4.gif and image7.gif

Will take a look at the ThreadTitle!

1. Yes i know - but i like it perfect! ;)

2. Thanks - but don?t forget the PostBit. ;)

[Green Cat]

Oh one more little thing...
I have a nice suggestion: to make that a user can nominate only X amount of posts per week/month.
With this the hack would be perfect :).

Delete the "nomination thread" that was automatically created, as such vBulletin will delete the legacy poll and votes attached to that thread.

Uninstall the mod, so that all the post table be cleared off of nominees.

Re-import the mod (Allow Overwrite: No)

Run the cron to have the "nomination thread" created.

In the next release, I might allow specification of the "nomination thread" title via ACP. :)

[Defkalion]

If topic titles in the poll have also links to the actual topics that would be fantastic. So I wait till Saturday. Looks like a very good mod. :)

[princeedward]

:erm: ooops...tried to my vB 3.6.8 PL2 but sad to say...not possible...the lowest version to work with is vB 3.6.9 :( i really want to have also this great mod...

can you please or is it possible to make it work to that version bro?...:rolleyes:

Well, in between deck two and the bridge, I had some free time to implement the suggestion. Topic titles are now hot linked to their actual threads/posts in the forum.

Enjoy :)

What we need to do for update? just overwrite product file or upload and overwrite?

The starting thread is created immediately once you proceed with step 6 of the installation. At the begining of a new month, a new thread will be automatically created for the next contest. :)

Please confirm the following:
1. You have the product installed properly
2. You did add one or more nominee(s) (clicked on the "nomination button")
3. You are now trying to withdraw one of those nominees, which leads you to the database error?

- no 1 confirmed
- no 2 confirmed
- no 3 : tried to withdraw all nominees in 1 thread, and it leads to database error.

Before I can't see the nominee thread in the TOTM room, but now :

- I run weekly nomination.
- Specify the ID of the forum that will receive threads containing results of the nomination contest. --> done
- Specify the user ID of the nomination thread owner. For this setting to have any effect, it must be set to a valid User ID. If not valid, the action will fall back to the default option. ---> done

Had nominate 1 thread in a forum and now I can see the nominated thread in TOTM forum.
So far so good, but haven't tried to withdraw :D

[soulface]

Nice mod, installed. How about an option like; We'll be able to nominate most topic/post nominated/winner users as Member Of the Month ?

This will be perfect.

[verino]

sorry, forgot to inform you : that was before upgrade.

Conditions with v1.0 :

- the quick links for TOTM leads to blank page
- done with the instruction step, and nothing in the TOTM forum to see.
- when withdraw, leads to database error

With v1.01 :

- Create TOTW after upgrade (re-upload all the files and re-install the product) and following instruction step, the TOTW works. see this link (http://ugland.us/showthread.php?t=3134)
- quick links works. But when no TOTW/TOTM it gives : could not find phrase ' ' - . I guess this is because it's empty ?
- withdraw works fine.

Done with the report :D

Will test it in the holodeck and likely implement it if the risk of users misusing it is low. :)

- when withdraw, leads to database error

With v1.01 :

- Create TOTW after upgrade (re-upload all the files and re-install the product) and following instruction step, the TOTW works. see this link (http://ugland.us/showthread.php?t=3134)
- quick links works. But when no TOTW/TOTM it gives : could not find phrase ' ' - . I guess this is because it's empty ?
- withdraw works fine.

Done with the report :D

Thanks for letting me know. Any suggestion for further improvement is welcome. :)

[Gemma]

Thank You :)

Works perfectly - Forum Banter (http://www.forumbanter.com/lounge/96-icebreakers-01-07-08-a.html#post216) and here (http://www.forumbanter.com/polling-booth/114-topic-month-august-2008-a.html) - only problem I found was a missing phrase (or two) in the Recount Nominations part

[Defkalion]

Well, in between deck two and the bridge, I had some free time to implement the suggestion. Topic titles are now hot linked to their actual threads/posts in the forum.

Enjoy :)

That's great. Installing. :):)

emmm........ just one thing :

Individual Forums On Which Only First Post Are To Be Nominated
Specify the list of forum(s) ID(s), | separated (e.g.: 1|2|3).

- is it applies to toproot of a forum or must be a sub-forum ?
- does it mean that other forum not specified will not be viewable for nomination ? or the nominee button will not available ?

[cygy2k]

First of all - great, great mod!

Second - most of us use custom styles, be it color-wise or layout-wise, and a more unique nominate button would work more universally. Can you create a button that shows the award and the word "add" or something like that without the default vB blue button behind it? It might save a lot of questions and requests in future posts from members.

[jazz_aaf]

Hi,
Can we restrict the nominated posts to the previous week/month's posts only?
Thanks

no answer for my question? :)

[sockwater]

Looks very interesting, I'm going to keep my eye on this.

Will see what can be done, knowing that I have only the default skin on my board. :)


no answer for my question? :)

I had difficulties grasping what you meant, but after reflection I understood it. Checkout the option for cut off date: "Disable Nominating Topics Older Than X Days" from the ACP -> Nominate Topic Settings. Does it answer your request?

[nfn]

I can't get this to work on a default installation of 3.7.2.
The nominate buttons aren't shown below the thread.

Both the thread and the poll are from today.

[J98680Bxxxxx]

What we need to do for update? just overwrite product file or upload and overwrite?

Upload is enough! :)

Please confirm that you did follow all the mentioned installation steps.

Could you also post a screen shot on a post (thread first post) where the "nominate button" is supposed to appear?

can you make a separate hack for 3.6.8 version this is something i can use.???

Cycle Time: Monthly (tested weekly with the same results)
Specify the ID of the forum that will receive threads: 2
Which Post Must Be Considered For Nomination: Any
Allow user to nomination their own posts?: Yes

These are the only changes I made.

I have just tested it on my test site, using your specifications, and there does not seems to be any problem. Try to re-install the product.

1. ACP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Topic Of The Week_Month Nomination -> Uninstall

2. Ensure that you uploaded the content of the "Upload" folder on to your (test) site.

3. Delete the "Topic Of The Month August, 2008" thread that was created

4. Re-import the product "product-nominate_topic.xml"

5. Run the cron manually. (Even without running the cron, you should see the "nominate topic" button.


Hmm, let's say I wanted to do this on a yearly basis, would that be possible?

It's possible and will be included in the next release: Cycle time = Weekly, Monthly, Yearly

Hi,

I reinstalled 3.7.2, reupload the files, installed the product, post one message and run schedule job.
Just can get this to work!!!

What am I doing wrong?
Did you tested on a 3.7.2 or just 3.7.0?

Thanks for your time.

[maidos]

great mod. But anyway to include all forum for thread nomination since i happend to have too many subforums to id all of them

[MissKalunji]

Nice i've been looking for this for quite some time

[jazz_aaf]

I had difficulties grasping what you meant, but after reflection I understood it. Checkout the option for cut off date: "Disable Nominating Topics Older Than X Days" from the ACP -> Nominate Topic Settings. Does it answer your request?


You got it but not exactly.
In your mod, you set a number of days in the back only. Assuming we set the number to 30 days: In day 1 of the month, all posts from last month are eligible to be nominated, and in day 15 for example, only posts from the last 15 days of last month and the first 15 days of this month are eligible, and so on!

What I asked about is setting up a start and end dates for the topics that can be nominated (i.e. 1/6/2008 ~ 30/6/2008) so I can restrict the topic of the month nomination to the topics that are written on that month only!

This is how you should seperate topics according to months in a topic of the month voting system.

Thanks

[J98680Bxxxxx]

It's another way of viewing things. Will likely change the cut off date from a single point in time to include a time interval.

ok after heavy testing everything appears to work on 3.6.9, i will inform if anything else changes.

Within the file "product-nominate_topic.xml", look for the "nominate_topic_button" temple declaration. The code reads:


<template name="nominate_topic_button" templatetype="template" date="0" username="Data" version="1.0">
<![CDATA[

can the thread owner see the members who nominated his thread? because it dosnt appear thread owners can.

[alehawk]

Its a great add on but I also had to disable it since my board is in spanish and I couldnt translate the post of the month title...

[cygy2k]

Two options for the nominate button for those with non-default buttons...

1 - Have a space in the AdminCP where the admin can define the image to use

or

2 - Use a button without the standard blue look, something simple like the attached.

[TimberFloorAu]

We created a new button:

Same for me - he promised to fix this in a next Version (next Saturday). See the last Pages. ;)

[TheInsaneManiac]

I was hoping for something that would automatically make it the topic of the week/month based on views and posts.

[TsirhCitna]

If you have this for posts and threads, the nominated posts do not show up in the poll as a link or text.

Also I can't figure out why the poll created won't show up on my vBadvanced page.

[verino]

wow, that's fast ! :D :up:

emmm........ just one thing :

- does it mean that other forum not specified will not be viewable for nomination ? or the nominee button will not available ?

any answer ? :D

Also :

- when I nominate 1 thread, the link is not shown (see attachment)
- but when I manually edit the poll, it gives the right thread path (see attachment)
- when I withdraw the nomination, it doesn't delete the nomination in the room for TOTM

Uninstall, clean install, re-install with overwrite doesn't help :confused:

[dvbusuario]

This Mod will be the subject Nominated winner of this Month (July)

xDD

Install!!!!!!!!!!! & MOTM!!!!!

Very nice! Install, rate and nominate :)!

PS But needs some fixing.

[J98680Bxxxxx]

Yes, the thread owner can see who nominated his thread. There is a small box displayed below the nominated post and listing all those who nominated the post. (See attachment). Additional information will be added on the postbit in the next release.

Now i specified this : Individual Forums On Which This Mod Must Be Disabled
Specify the list of forum(s) ID(s), | separated (e.g.: 1|2|3).

and nominate a thread exclude what i specified, but the TOTM is not working.

Should i run the scheduled task manually or only once ?

Also, see the attachment cause there's on missing definition for the button :D

On the nomination thread, the "Poll" displays as closed. Voting/nominating posts is done via the actual posts throughout the forums. :)

[TheProphet]

A nice hack... voted MOTM

[Roxie]

Nice mod, installed. How about an option like; We'll be able to nominate most topic/post nominated/winner users as Member Of the Month ?

This will be perfect.

That is a great idea!

[imedic]

Great mod.
I suggest also to add in postbit or next to edit button the number of nominations received by the user and number of months /weeks wonned (if postbit is crowded like mine).
Something similar to Post thank you hack.

I have talked to my moderators and they are all for this. :)
Looking forward for a stable version to install and nominate. Also I will use it for other project but with some small modifications.
Translation should be easy ... if possible. Gii we are demanding with the best :D

Try to re-install it or wait for tomorrow's release.

To have a clean install:
1. Delete the thread that was created
2. Un-install the product
3. Ensure that the content of the "upload" folder has been uploaded properly
3. Re-install the product (Re-import)
4. Run the cron

?? How should this work or loke like ?? What you can do is to create a User called like anything you like with your Logo as a Avatar or anything like that and give him the Privileges and name him as UserId.

[verino]

no, i meant in the TOTM setting needs to create a room to host the nominated thread and also the userid (by default belongs to admin). But i guess this can be done by forum permissions for usergroup to be able to change the poll.

:D got a little bit confused, sorry

[J98680Bxxxxx]

I would like to change the location of the button, is this possible? Thanks

Where do you want to have the button located?

[Cybertims]

Maybe allow a button variable "$nominate_button" to be placed by each individual wherever they would prefer to have it?

Just a thought....

Hello!

should we uninstall old version before upgrade to 1.1 or just upload and overwrite files and product xml file?

[tweb]

The collapse_tcat.gif image doesn't change even if the block isn't colapsed. And can you make it to take the collapse_tcat.gif and collapse_thead_collapsed.gif from the current skin folder(now it's take it from the default vBulletin style)? :)

Un-install is not needed. Just upload, overwrite the files and re-import the product (Allow Overwrite). Then run the cron file, as there is a new table column that does not seems to get created via the product.

[maidos]

oh yeah it works now thanks alot..

also i just nominated one thread but the poll still doesnt update the latest vote

Open the file "product-nominate_topic.xml", using Wordpad.

Search for: "images/buttons/collapse_tcat.gif"

Replace with "$stylevar[imgdir_buttons]/collapse_tcat.gif"

This should take the image from your current skin and not from the default.

Feedback change taken into account for the next version. :up:

Ensure that you did run the cron properly. It must add a new table column "pollid" (to a nominate_topic_thread table) and initialise it with the current poll id. If it persist, do a clean install:

Clean install:
1. Remove product
2. Delete thread that was automatically created (vB will also delete the poll and poll votes)
3. Re-import the product
4. Run the cron file

works great thanks

4th line of the code above:

images/buttons/collapse_tcat.gif

Change it to

$stylevar[imgdir_buttons]/collapse_tcat.gif

Your postbit_legacy dispays the text "View Top 3 Awards" because the corresponding image is missing. Upload the whole content of the "upload/images/" folder to your corresponding style folder, as new images where added on this version 1.1.

[jazz_aaf]

It's another way of viewing things. Will likely change the cut off date from a single point in time to include a time interval.

I assume this was not included in the new update? :confused:

what i mean bro... is the bar at the top...is it the td class? from left it's diff...bar and to the right is diff. also ....but i manage to find the solution now...like this...

<td class="tcat" width="175" style="vertical-align:top">
change it to:
<td class="tfoot" width="225" style="vertical-align:top">
===========================
<div class="panel"> then removed panel on this....

Make this at the left side also: color gold and blink... for more attractions
Nominee For:
Topic Of The Month August, 2008

and thanks for the info...about the image...it's done...and about my collapse_tcat.gif i create it like that...anyway....i guess that's not important also...to make it open and close...

now it's look okay...

Great, so far so good.

Is there any function to withdraw all nominated posts done by other users ? Instead by searching for nominated post (imagine 1000 threads nominated). Maybe I'm missing something here ?

the special actions in nominate topic settings, is only to delete all nominations made by a single user. Maybe you can add here also for : delete all nominations ?

Also, by default it's enabled, can you make it disabled by default ?

Thank's a lot mate :up:

does your custom skin has an image folder ? then put the image folder of this mod, into your custom skin image folder.

Hope it helps.

Please don't forget to check about : disabling nomination on certain forums.

Maybe you can make it also like :

- minimum vote requirement for a thread to be view on the TOTM room ? Or is it already there ?
- About the time interval for TOTM/TOTW would be great.

[JAuthement]

J98680B2423E,

First of all let me say thank you for creating such a nice modification! IMHO, hard work by others is often used by others, but seldom acknowledged .... So THANK YOU!!

Secondly, I noticed that in the postbit legacy your mod is placing its info after the $template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts]. Is there a way to break that up for people who want to customize the layout of the information?

Regards,

[smirkley]

An excellent modification,..thanks !!

Question?....

What is a variable that may be used in an if conditional to test whether the current poll is current or not.

I wish to use this variable elsewhere in my vb forum to show a snippet regarding the current poll if it is open, and the current nomination poll.

Currently, the only variable I know of is in the vb script and technically the poll is viewed as closed as the only voting mechanism available is the nomination button.

Know what I mean?

[TimberFloorAu]

Is it possible, to have an archive page, of:

Most Voted for thread ( on weekly/monthly basis )
Who has voted the most
Most awards won

Etc etc?

Would this be complicated to implement. Reason being apart from acknowledge our members, I also want to shame those who do not use this brilliant nomination system.

Ozzy

[redlabour]

Is it now fully phrased? Found nothing about it in the first Post.

Currently, the only variable I know of is in the vb script and technically the poll is viewed as closed as the only voting mechanism available is the nomination button.

Know what I mean?

Actually, I don't have any defined global variable for that purpose, as the current poll is always open during the course of the "cycle Time" (Week or Month).

To prevent users from voting directly on the "Nomination Thread" page, but via the actual post(s) throughout the forum(s), I display the poll as closed.

At the end of the "Cycle Time", the "Nomination Thread" is automatically closed, hence definite closure of the Poll.


Is it now fully phrased? Found nothing about it in the first Post.

Done my best to have it (almost) fully phrased.

For an empty poll, I left the "poll choice" hard code to display the text: "...Awaiting nominees..."
For polls with more than a maximun "poll choice" post display of 5, I left the 6th poll choice hard coded to display the text: "Remanining nominations cummulated..."

In the next version, maximum "poll choice" will be made variable (i.e. defined in the CAP)

Actually, I don't have any defined global variable for that purpose, as the current poll is always open during the course of the "cycle Time" (Week or Month).

To prevent users from voting directly on the "Nomination Thread" page, but via the actual post(s) throughout the forum(s), I display the poll as closed.

At the end of the "Cycle Time", the "Nomination Thread" is automatically closed, hence definite closure of the Poll.


To give you an idea what I am trying to do, is display this in my vBadvanced module for polls, on my CMPS pages.

I have been working with Brian at vBa and he suggested that these polls dont show up because they are in effect "closed" to vBa CMPS.

If I can figure out why they appear as closed, then I can resolve the issue of getting them to show up on a CMPS poll module.

Thanks again.

Hi just to mention when a nomination is retracted it still shows the count and an integer is not subtracted from the total nomination count.

[Britmovie]

can it ever be made to run multiple competitions at the same time? But great mod......

[JAuthement]

J98680B2423E,

You suggested the usage of another hook for the placement of the postbit legacy information.
I probably didn't clarify what I was desiring. The hook you have now is absolutely fine.....

What I was asking was, I know you can disable the "automatic" placement of the information. But as of present the mod only gives you and "all on" or "all off" option for postbit legacy placement. I as well as others would like to be able to place "each" string of information manually? This would give admins the flexibility needed when creating custom postbits.

[blogcrash]

can you show me which skin style you got on your site...or care to send me your site link via PM...i really want to help you on this...but i really don't understand why is it not workin with your site style...

I made something completely crazy and different.
But it seems to work in my case.
I still have to test everything ... i will do it later, this evening.

Thanks a lot my friend.

I did closed the poll at initialisation in the cron file.

"upload/include/cron/nominate_topic_cron.php"

$active = 0;
...

$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "poll (question,dateline,options,votes,active,numberopti ons,timeout,multiple,voters,public,lastvote) VALUES ('$question','$now','$Choice','$votes','$active',' $numberoptions','$timeout','$multiple','$voters',' $public','$lastvote')");

You can also activate it in the file located at:
"upload/include/functions_nominate_topic.php"

Find all

$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "poll` SET `options`='$choices', `votes`='$votes', `numberoptions`='$numberoptions' , `voters`='$voters', `lastvote`='$lastvote' WHERE `pollid` = '$poll_id'");

replace by

$active = 1;
$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "poll` SET `options`='$choices', `votes`='$votes', `active`='$active', `numberoptions`='$numberoptions' , `voters`='$voters', `lastvote`='$lastvote' WHERE `pollid` = '$poll_id'");

I could not find a proper way to prevent users to vote via the "Nomination Thread" once the poll is set to the active status.

Let me know if you succeed in it. :)

This is pretty cool! I've been looking for something like this for awhile!

How hard would it be to make a "Hall of fame" page? So all the winners would be grouped on one page?

Thanks!! :)

Apologies, if I didn´t understand all the options perhaps, but after reading as careful as possible and testing this very interesting product on my testforum, I didn´t find an option for hiding the names of the users, which nominated a thread or a post.
Maybe some users could feel treated unfairly, if their friends on the forum wouldn´t nominate them. Perhaps such an emotional "issue" is too far fetched, but a switch to see just the numbers of nominations without the usernames of voters would be great.

[maidos]

thanks for the update :) is it possible to allow more than just 9 threads on the poll? im thinking about 15 threads

[princeedward]

...with a lot of new additional functions..looking great...heading to be more perfect mod...
keep it up guys...let's think more interesting addional add-ons to this wonderful mod hack

Members should vote for the best topic (post/thread, etc...) not for their friends or for people they are familiar with. If they start voting for their friends, your should invalidate the poll. May be we can add an option to disqualify a post from the nomination?

There is already an option not to display user names on nominations. :)

[blogcrash]

Just one questions... the thread links in the pool open in new window

Anyway to change that to open in the same window?

Thanks for the great images my friend.
Already there ;)

Just to let the community know how i fixed the problem in my custom skin.
I didn't saw any buttons because my template it's a lot different from the default one.

So, after a lot some hours trying almost everything, i went to post_legacy template and had this code in the place where i wanted to see the nominate button:


<!-- controls -->
$template_hook[postbit_controls]
<!-- / controls -->


Result... now i see the nominate button and the thank you button.

The only think that i must find now it's the change i have to make to see also the new badges.

Step by step :D

I hope this help anyone with the same problem as i.

Best regards to the community

Okies all was going well lol ...

First week of running TOTW, and its been a hands down success...

However ( we are using version 1.1 )

The result, hasnt displayed in the particular users postbit ( under avatar )

Image attached.

Any suggestions please ?

What should we see here. Presumably :

Has WON 1 TOTW
Perhaps an award ( perhaps a link )

Not sure... any help appreciated

[TimberFloorAu]

Also to add, in the postbit ( This Post has won the Nomination contest )

Says: It can re-enter the nomination contest after Thursday 03 July 2008

Weird as the TOTW was drawn on 6th July 2008

In ACP we have , the winner can revote after 0 days

This is just what I was looking for. Hopefully someone can figure this out fully but I'm going to use it with the voting for now.

This is just what I was looking for. Hopefully someone can figure this out fully but I'm going to use it with the voting for now.


Iam thinking along the lines of creating a global variable that is set when the cron creates the totm poll, and then modifying the poll module in cmps to test for this variable being true.

The only other way I can think of making it work is by stripping off a string of characters off the poll title after it reads from the database in the poll module in cmps, and then comparing to the string language same number of characters in vb for the totm poll, and iff the same then display the poll. This would only need to be modified in the cmps poll module.

I am going to have to think about this but with help and a little time, the results would be posted here.

[TsirhCitna]

I got it to work by just going to the forum permissions and changing the poll permissions to Cannot vote on polls. Just tested it and it works perfect.

Great mod. Thank you very much.

A couple questions.

I voted for 2 topics on my test forum and ran the cron job. The topic was initiated. I have 2 questions:
1. How come it says "Topic Of The Month August, 2008" - it's July right now
2. Though I voted twice it still says "...Awaiting nominees...".

no 1 : I got the same title for month august. Maybe the coder forgot to put time interval for his mod ? :D

I thought somebody had already asked whether it's possible to give a time interval, besides automatically calculated.

as instructed in your readme and installation .rtf file.

- uncompress the archive
- upload all the files in upload folder
- import the product with overwrite enabled

When deleting the TOTW/TOTM thread manually, it seems to always causing problem after it. Does it has to re-import the product after manually delete ? :confused:

[Artes_Marciales]

Great mod but he has to get better...

When the thread closes at the end of the nominations why do the threads of the winners in the opinion poll disappear?? :confused:

Why did you put text in the templates?
Now the forums that do not use the English language have to edit templates to be able to translate the mod : (

The first week has finished, but the field "Top 3 Members With The Most Awards On Topic Of The Week-Month Nominations" is I empty :confused:
Only show the winners' nicks (no avatar images)

Sorry mate, we have issues.

Have upgraded to 1.2

Last weeks TOTW was called Week 28
That finished yesterday... it picked the winner.
It hasnt updated the members postbit to reflect that they have won TOTW.

Now since upgrading to 1.2 , it has started TOTW week 29's

But is populating week 28 poll !!! With new entries in that

This seemed good initially, but i think either theres a hack issue problem, colliding with other hacks.. or perhaps it has been upgraded too quick too soon.

Happily give you link to view the issues, or visit our site below, and view TOTW in forumhome.

Pretty self explanatory.

PLUS+++

Not only that the thread and poll last week was called WEEK 28.

Now its picked a winner, and it displays Award Winner, Topic of the Week 27, july 2008

ehhhhhh???

[blogcrash]

Just one questions... the thread links in the pool open in new window

Anyway to change that to open in the same window?

hello J98680B2423E,

maybe you can fixed the version showed in the Manage Products,as it still shows ver 1.0 :D

Will do.

Does the new version now allow this? Thanks

Yes, it does. Thanks for having suggested it.


Great mod. Thank you very much.

A couple questions.

I voted for 2 topics on my test forum and ran the cron job. The topic was initiated. I have 2 questions:
1. How come it says "Topic Of The Month August, 2008" - it's July right now
2. Though I voted twice it still says "...Awaiting nominees...".

Thank you very much

1. The Mod is designed so that the results of contest can be discussed by the members during the cycle time coming after closure of the contest.
Thus, in the during the month July 2008, the contest title displays "... Of The Month August 2008". During week 28, the contest title displays "... For Week 29, ..."


2. There was a bug in the "cron file". It has just been fixed in version 1.21


as instructed in your readme and installation .rtf file.

- uncompress the archive
- upload all the files in upload folder
- import the product with overwrite enabled

When deleting the TOTW/TOTM thread manually, it seems to always causing problem after it. Does it has to re-import the product after manually delete ? :confused:

I have just fixed a "Delete" problem that occured on Withdrawal of nimination. Version 1.21 now available.

Will include an option to automatically create a new thread if a TOTW/TOTM thread is manually deleted (cannot be found).

Just tried 1.21 and it has stopped working.

Turned the mod off and on and it works.

Does anyone know how to move the nominate button from next to the edit button to somewhere else? Thanks

$vbulletin->templatecache['your_template_hook'] = str_replace("your_location", "your_location".$vbulletin->templatecache['nominate_topic_button'], $vbulletin->templatecache['your_template_hook']);


Great mod but he has to get better...

When the thread closes at the end of the nominations why do the threads of the winners in the opinion poll disappear?? :confused:

Why did you put text in the templates?
Now the forums that do not use the English language have to edit templates to be able to translate the mod : (

The first week has finished, but the field "Top 3 Members With The Most Awards On Topic Of The Week-Month Nominations" is I empty :confused:
Only show the winners' nicks (no avatar images)

Bug on cron file has been fixed. Version 1.21 available.


Sorry mate, we have issues.

Have upgraded to 1.2

Last weeks TOTW was called Week 28
That finished yesterday... it picked the winner.
It hasnt updated the members postbit to reflect that they have won TOTW.

Now since upgrading to 1.2 , it has started TOTW week 29's

But is populating week 28 poll !!! With new entries in that

This seemed good initially, but i think either theres a hack issue problem, colliding with other hacks.. or perhaps it has been upgraded too quick too soon.

Happily give you link to view the issues, or visit our site below, and view TOTW in forumhome.

Pretty self explanatory.

PLUS+++

Not only that the thread and poll last week was called WEEK 28.

Now its picked a winner, and it displays Award Winner, Topic of the Week 27, july 2008

ehhhhhh???


Week transition bug in the cron file has been fixed. The correct attachment has just been uploaded (v 1.21). Follow the installation instruction, run the cron file and it should fix the award winner issue.


Any idea about this point please?

Nope! But will checkout what can be done.

I got the same problem, when trying to vote in the room that i defined TOTM disabled. But when i refresh, i got no permission message. Refresh again, the vote is there in the thread, but not in the TOTM room (awaiting nominees).

I guess still error on disabling this mod in certain room ? :D

Just fixed, unknown colum in table. Should have been "SELECT * ... WHERE postid > '0';" as in v1.2 and not "SELECT * ...WHERE postid > '0' ORDER BY nominate_topic_amount DESC;"

Attachment has just been re-uploaded using the same name and version. Thanks guys for all these feedback. Hopefully we will quickly get to the perfect version. :up:

Did you forget to remove this ?

Nominate Weekly Or Monthly Topic Mod.
Do not forget ...
Do the following: Open this cron file and delete the piece of code located between:
//update the previous week poll of week 28 that was damaged... and //End update the previous week poll of week 28 that was damaged.
Re-upload the upload the file on to your server

Done

That's when i run the cron :D or it's the instruction i need to follow ?

@timberfloor : you can edit the cron in ACP\scheduled task
