I have vbseo and it works just fine bro. You have a re-write setting that isn't set right. I wish I knew what it was...

Here's the image vbboarder.
Click the quote button to view the image above if you don't remember about the misalignment.

vb, I think I figured out why it's misaligning. It's b/c I'm using postbit legacy and you are using the hook $template_hook[postbit_userinfo_left], which would be fine for the regular postbit, but doesn't work well for postbit_legacy.

What plugin do we have to edit to change the hook? Thanks

Will have to uninstall. The issue is not addressed. Love the product but without functionality it is not helpful.

Its like an impossible job to delete the winners after a testinground.

I been digging in phpmyadmin, but no luck, after updating the counter, they are back to what they were..

Can you please make a reset job? thx!

And I like the nomination Mod.. I do!

I love this add-on! However, my board uses postbit_legacy and I've been having a hard time making this work. So far, the add-on is working with the popup (when clicking the username) and $template_hook[postbit_userinfo_left]. I tried enclosing $template_hook[postbit_userinfo_left]:
<div class="smallfont">$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_left]</div>
But it's not enclosed in a small box like Posts (please see screenshot). I also can't find the button to let the users nominate the post.

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to remove this mod due to it not being wanted on my forums anymore and i removed it via the Admincp but still get this error sent to my email every time someone views the site.....can anyone tell me how to fix this:

I have deleted all plugins etc related to it and this is still running.

Now that a particular troll is gone (didn't know Avril's fans can be so nasty.... must be teen angst), I'll start supporting this mod again.

Remember, you're not paying for this mod since it's completely FREE - there's no branding (ie: powered by 'xxx'), no links insertion (ie: links to affiliate site), no advertising, and not even a Paypal donations option - SO don't feel like you have a right to demand service.... if you still do, you can uninstall this mod 'cause you ain't gettin' it with that attitude :p

vbboarder

11-05-2009, 05:39 PM

Before you think that a mod is not supported, you should check who's posted in the thread and how many times. This is easily done: just click on the 'Replies' number in any forumdisplay or search page and a popup will appear that gives this info.

In just a month, this mod has accumulated more posts than the majority of mods in their lifetime. It's not the most installed mod, but it's definitely active and supported.

vbboarder

11-05-2009, 05:46 PM

@letsjoy: The reputation bug will be fixed in an future version. For now, posts that have received reputation from a user can not be nominated BY THAT USER. If you want to enable a user to give BOTH reputation and nomination to the same post, then simply set the setting, 'Reputation', to 0 in VB Options.

vbboarder

11-05-2009, 05:52 PM

Have you tried starting a new nomination contest via ACP > Special Actions? If so, are you still having the same problem?

BTW: I can't give support if you manually edit the poll because there are so many things you can change that can cause the nominations contest to no longer work. Note that the contest thread & poll are owned by whoever you set in Nominations settings.

vbboarder

11-05-2009, 05:58 PM

Tons huh.... a bit of an exxageration. I'd say lots of users are able to get the button to display as shown by the hundreds of people who have installed this mod in VB 3.7 & 3.8. Most likely users who can't get the button to show have customized templates and don't fully understand VB templating system.... newbies?

vbboarder

11-05-2009, 06:02 PM

This mod does necessary DB cleanup when you uninstall. Once you delete the files, you should not get anymore DB errors related to this mod.

Right, because the post detailing the code necessary for inserting the button is glaringly obvious. Or... are we supposed to reverse engineer your template mods, ID it, and strip it out ourselves?

Most likely the install directions are non-existant for those with customized templates. That's what is most likely. Then again, there are so few of us that would have customized templates that visit this site, I can see why you wouldn't bother.

:rolleyes:

@grey goose: well, obvious enough to the many users who installed it in VB 3.7 & 3.8.

Thank you very much for the reply. Will not edit anything in the poll in November. Will see what happens.

What caught my attention was "The poll will get closed in 7 days". While I use TOTM option.

Also It appeared as the pol went to all zeros after the amount of nominated topics exceeded 10 (maximum allowed). Currently have 5. Will see what happens.

Thanks again. Wonderful idea.

I also forced the translation of vbulletin month names and nothing happens.
Where shoud I change the month names?
Tnx!

crkgb

11-09-2009, 07:27 AM

@crkgb: your problem may be a bug. One other user had the same problem if he set the "topics to display on polls" to 10. 10 is actually a new setting so you should set it to 9. Also, if you lose your nominations from the poll, you can get them back by ACP > Topic Nominations > Refresh Poll action.

Thanks. I changed it to 9.

Poll refresh did not work. All my october nominations are nowhere to be found. At the same time I have winners on this page nominate_topic.php?do=shownominationawardswinners

The refresh poll did not work because you created a new poll. Refreshing poll only works for the current, active poll.

alehawk

11-09-2009, 07:53 PM

The month names can be either hard coded or use VB phrases. I forget exactly where in the code that month names are used, but may be in the cron php file. If it uses VB phrases, the new translated names will not show up until the new poll is created because the old names for the current poll has already been saved.

I searched the code and I couldnt find it and I also translated everything in vbulletin (even replaced the english part) and I couldn find it :S
I'll look there.
Thank you!

crkgb

11-09-2009, 08:13 PM

The refresh poll did not work because you created a new poll. Refreshing poll only works for the current, active poll.

Well, I remember trying just about everything in the ACP during the October month.

Oh well, October is gone. Will see what happens this month.

By the way why does it say in the poll (when you click edit) that it will get closed in seven days, when in fact I use a monthly nomination feature.

Also when I refresh poll via the adminCP it is now throwing the above database error... and when NOMINATING a thread it is also causing a database error.

Can you assist vbboarder???

An other question, is it possible to make a MANUAL option?

Support for this mod sucks. I PM'd him because I had gotten no response on this thread, and this is what I got for an answer...

Your issue has already been reported - you need to search for the results. I don't have time to help on this issue when it's already been covered. If you can't find the solution, you should just uninstall. BTW, I don't give support by PM.

Like I told him, I read every post in the thread before I posted, and tried everything to resolve my issue (including what I found in the thread), but nothing worked.. so I posted a post requesting help.

You might want to take a different attitude with your support.

Uninstalled and definitely NOT recommended.

vbboarder

12-09-2009, 04:30 PM

@fbu: Ohhh, excuse me, I didn't realize that you were paying me such nice $$ that I should drop everything that I do and serve you right away.... yes master.... yes master. I publish my mods to share with others.... notice there is no donations option or site links because I'm not trying to make some $$ with my mods. While I don't strive to be the best supporter, my support is still better than the majority of VB coders as you can determine by the % of (coder replies/ total replies). I'm not gonna change my support attitude just so I can attract more trolls and newbies. I stated the truth, "I don't have time to help on this issue when it's already been covered.", and if you can't handle the truth, that's your problem. Oh, BTW thanks for reaffirming that I don't give support by PM - this is pretty much the standard for the VB coders community ;)

Hmmm, with only 4 posts in 1 yr., thanks for trolling this thread. I wonder.... maybe you're an Avril fan or love goose hunting? If you don't know what that means, then I guess you really didn't read through this whole thread :rolleyes:

Hey vbboarder,
I'm thinking about installing this mod:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201228

In that, it shows that the old Nomination mod was incompatible, do you know if that has changed with your updated version? Coders Shack I guess no longer supports his mod anymore and I can't get an answer from him and was hoping you might know.

I'm wondering if you could just comment on this real quick vbboarder. If you don't know, that's fine, I'm just hoping that you might. If anything, I'll give it a try and report back to you.

Inciarco posted a possible solution for compatibility with Live Topic. I don't know if it works with either the old or new Topic Nominations mod 'cause I don't use Live Topic. You can search for his posts in the old thread and try it out.

it was very good if there was an option that allow only some usergroups to choose which topics to be nominated, after that all usergroups could nominate selected topics only.

it's easy, to understand.
for ex.
mods can presss nominate for all topics , but users can only press nominate button on which topics that mods nominated only.

If member has 0 nominations then it wont show in the postbit info.

ie: Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 < would be better not shown at all.

Thanks

*EDIT*

I did it myself.

Goto

ACP > Styles&Templates > nominate_topic_postbit_info

add this to the top

<if condition="$post[userid]">
<if condition="$post[nominate_topic_nominated_times] == 0">
<div> </div>
<else />

and add </if> around 8 lines down between the other two occurrences.

If anyone can do it better let me know please :D

Allthough this phrase still shows : TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0
