Greets

[Scerina]

the event to close all booths doesn't work. The closing date has passed by 4 days and the booth is still open. I have the task manager set to run it every day, but no dice. Please help!

Also, I'd like to have it so you can nominate more then 6 and so Administrators could be nominated as well.

Thanks to anyone who helps.

Huge thanx to the one who would be so kind enough to take some time out to help out a newbie to all this techie stuff and I will appreaciate any help & support any experince person can give me.

[Scerina]

How do you vote for someone who has been nominated in a pollbooth??? I mean how does voting works on this hack?? Where do members vote?

If you did the file edit "/admincp/index.php", you should have the Members Choice / Polling Booth manager listed in your admincp.

How do you vote for someone who has been nominated in a pollbooth??? I mean how does voting works on this hack?? Where do members vote?

When you've created a 'booth name' in admincp .. 'Member of the month' or something similar and members have been nominated via the link in postbit, you can then vote for the nominated member in the poll booth.

How do you vote for them in the poll booth though? I don't see a link to vote for them...I only see links to who have voted for them and to remove the nominee...plus the who nominated who and their speeches...but no link to voting for them.

When you nominate them is that the same as voting for them? I mean am i missin something here?

[Ski-Whiz]

I keep getting an error, and I'm not sure what this is saying.. I can't uninstall it, as it says there is nothing installed.

Can someone please help me interpret this out??
This happens right after the install script edits the templates:

Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup
ADD mcpollingbooth INT( 12 ) NOT NULL
)
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '" . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup
ADD mcpollingbooth INT( 12 ) NOT NULL
)' at line 1

mysql error number: 1064


Thanks!!

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Look for this alter table statement in queries.php in the hack directory and remove a trailing ")"

[MR-2ZZ]

I wrote completely new install instructions a few pages back.

[Scerina]

HOW THE HELL DO YOU VOTE ON THIS HACK????? I DONT SEE ANY LINKS ANYWHERE TO VOTE!!!

[TTG]

Member has made acceptance speech .. can you SEE the where to vote

[Scerina]

I still dont see the Vote For Me link or link to vote for the nominee. I attached a screen shot of my Member's Choice and what links are available...are admins not suppose to vote for nominees or something? Am I missin something here???

The screen shot you provide is the polling booth closed for voting. Check your admincp >> members choice >> polling booth manager .. make sure "This polling booth is open" .. should be showing a green button next to the category.

[Morgalis]

I've uploaded all the new files and removed the 1 directory and in fact, removed the hack via the links provided in HIS

I still get a prompt to install version 1

Taking a chance that it was a typo, I tried to install it and generate files to which I got this error

// Templates

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /his_files/hack_creator_b2.php on line 160

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

[Scerina]

The screen shot you provide is the polling booth closed for voting. Check your admincp >> members choice >> polling booth manager .. make sure "This polling booth is open" .. should be showing a green button next to the category.
the booth is open to voting and the light is green in the booth manager under AdminCP...it is something else and if you are thinkin I did not follow the instructions or whatever...I did follow the instructions to the very last detail.

Assume you've updated all usergroups "Members Choice Permissions" ..?

[Scerina]

i did all that with the member groups...gave them all (including admin) voting permissions

[TTG]

i did all that with the member groups...gave them all (including admin) voting permissions

Problems solved .. Vbulletin options >> Members Choice >> "Does the voting start when all nomination positions have been filled?" = No

If this is set to Yes .. all nominee postitions must be filled before the "Vote" link appears.

No 1 is still to be fixed by the author

[Ski-Whiz]

I get everything to install without errors, and I followed Mr.2ZZ's directions..

When I go to the AdminCP, and go to Polling Booth Manager, I get a database error.. The email I get is this

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.7:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT * FROM cpsession
WHERE userid =
AND hash = 'e97abc788a5d960baa90a599470e87fa'

mysql error number: 1064


Now this is referring to my session, but it's not telling me what's wrong.. I have retraced my steps, and it's not work right..

When I hit nominate in the postbit, it brings me to a wierd screen.. I can give someone a test username if they have time to see if they can help me.. Thanks ahead of time!

[MR-2ZZ]

are all your file mods correct?

[Ski-Whiz]

Yeah, I checked them..

When I go to the AdminCP, and go to the Polling Booth, I get a database error. Now I used the queries.php that you suggested, and manually added the other one. I'm not sure what would cause the "There's a problem with your database error". I would think as long as the database was updated, and the admincp/index.php was edited correctly, I should be able to see something right?

I have edited and checked my files though.. Maybe I need to take a break and recheck with a clearer head.. :D

[Quincy Wisdom]

* Quincy clicks install

Well done, :)

Hi
I tried to install this hack and i did everything to the letter and i get this error message below:

Warning: halt(./includes/functions_log_error.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/naijawor/public_html/includes/db_mysql.php on line 389

Can someone please tell me what I did wrong and how do i fix this problem?

thanks for your help

[TTG]

You must have not edited the files correctly .. check 'em again.

[Ski-Whiz]

You must have not edited the files correctly .. check 'em again.


No, the database was lacking some entries.. :D I have to manually verify every entry.. :D

The install messed up the 1st time, so that's where I got messed up.. I entered a few of the entries manually. To fix it all, I had to verify every database change.. :D

Works now..

[mcyates]

Only some people have Nominate Now under their username on the postbit legacy. I have many usergroups. Is there an option on each usergroup to enable them to be voted?

[adamgessel]

Awesome hack.

*Clicks Install!*

[osariase]

Hi all,
I am getting this error message when installing this hack is anybody out there that can help me correct this? you will find attached picture of the error message below thanks for your help

[Marco van Herwaarden]

@osariase

This hack is conflicting with another hack you already have installed. They try both to use the same phrasetypeid.

[osariase]

Thanks Marco for your response and help,
so what do I do and how do i know which hack is conflicting with it and how do I rectify this please help thanks. Since you are the only one that is answering

[osariase]

Hi MR-2ZZ ,
thanks for your support. I just wanted you to know that I followed the instructions u gave and for the first time I didnt get any error message during the install. but I do have a problem after the install when i go to nominate a member I get an error message, attached is a picture of what I get hope you can help me with solving this problem thanks man


Follow the install guide I posted a page or two back, and it will solve everything.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

You could try to find out which other hack is conflicting by running the following query:
SELECT * from nwvb3phrasetype where phrasetypeid = 887;

[osariase]

Thanks Marco,
I did what u said and it only showed me the members_choice. But I am not even getting that error message anymore, what I have now is restriction error message when go to nominate a member what do you think might be the issue here? look above this reply, I have a picture of the error message

See what you can do for me thanks man I appreciate your help

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Sorry but i really don't know what can be causing this. I don't have this hack installed, so i can't test.

[osariase]

Thanks for your help marcoH
I happened check usergroup permissions and I found that you have to give group permission to be able to vote or nominate even admin. so I did it and guess what it worked right now i'm testing it so far so good. Also, thanks to
MR-2ZZ he his edited work helped too thanks man

Seems something got changed in 3.0.7, What, Thats another question :(

I tryed the manual install pointed out here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=76050) and it didn't work either

[tomshawk]

Is there no support for this hack anymore?

Just asking, I realize you may be busy.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

In your './install/hacks/Members Choice/2/queries.php' file, find:
$query['new'][] = 'ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup

Replace :
$query['new'][] = 'ALTER TABLE ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'usergroup

Thank you

Now I get this

Thoughts?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

This is probably because some of the queries already have run. Sorry i don't have time today to have a look how to fix this. If nobody else helps you today, i will try to have a look tomorrow.

But I went through the uninstall so I couls start over with your changes and it did not uninstall

Hopefully I'll hear from you tomorrow, Thank you ;)

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Please send me a PM about this or i will forget.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Ok, run the following queries, ignoring any errors you might get to really uninstall all database changes. Then install again, using the modified queries.php. If you are using a table_prefix, you should manually add this in front of all table names.

ALTER TABLE language DROP COLUMN phrasegroup_members_choice;
DELETE FROM phrasetype WHERE phrasetypeid = 887 AND fieldname = 'members_choice';
DROP TABLE mc_nominee;
DROP TABLE mc_pollbooth;
DROP TABLE mc_whovoted;
ALTER TABLE usergroup DROP COLUMN mcpollingbooth;
DELETE FROM setting WHERE grouptitle = 'mc_polling';

That should do the trick i think.

[tomshawk]

Thank you for the assistance MarcoH64

This let me attempt to reinstall again, but I got the same error

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Then you have used the original queries.php, and not the modified one (the first fix i gave you). Like i posted you should run the modified one, or you will have the same problems again.

It's not the original queries.php, but for giggles I re-uploaded it to try again.

Same thing again

I dunno, maybe I should just give up on this one

I am sorry, but you are getting the error again that we fixed in post #293, so it seems you are trying without that fix.

What is the code i should put in my postbit to make people able to nominate other members from within their posts.

Hello PEEPS,

Question, how can I keep my moderators or super mods from being nominated? :tired:

Thanks in advance

[mayzan]

trafix, all your scripts (Hack Installer System) will not run on VBulletin 3.0.7.

When I try to run the hack_installer.php file, the warning is always:

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/guitars/public_html/forum/install/his_files/hack_install_b3.php on line 30

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/guitars/public_html/forum/install/his_files/hack_install_b3.php on line 31

[Marco van Herwaarden]

You will probably not only have problems with hacks by trafix then, but with all HIS hacks. Did you rename your admincp directory by any chance? If yes, have a look at the ./install/his_files/hack_config_default.php

[mayzan]

Oh.. how stupid I was :p ok, I will try it now..... thanks Marco!!

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Once you have renamed that config file, and edited it, you can just leave it there. If you later install another HIS hack, it will not overwrite the renamed config file, so you only need to make this edit once.

[Qwest]

I dont understand the manual install........... https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=76050

The thread you point to has install for vb_jukebox not the members choice hack. I dont want to use HIS so how do you install it manually?

[esology]

Hello PEEPS,

Question, how can I keep my moderators or super mods from being nominated? :tired:

Thanks in advance

I really like this hack. I too want to know how to prevent Moderators from being nominated. I see Admins can be excluded but what about Mods?

[esology]

if ($vboptions[mc_can_nom_admin] == "0")
{

if ($member[usergroupid] == "6")
{
eval(print_standard_error('mc_nominate_admin'));
}

}

In the mc_nominate.php file I see this line of code. Can I just add usergroup 7 to the 3rd line like this

if ($member[usergroupid] == "6,7")

to also exclude the Moderators.

[TRR]

This is a great hack.

I saw the question asked a few times before the last release, however nothing was ever done about it: this hack could be greatly improved if there were a spot to fill in the date that voting would begin, rather than trying to fill in "X" amount of nominees. That way, for instance: nominations could start at say, the beginning of the month, candidates could make their speeches, and voting wouldn't begin until a specified date towards the end of the month (and this wouldn't matter how many candidates there were... voting would be allowed once the specified date arrived)

I never know how many nominees I am going to have, so right off the bat users are able to start voting because of the settings I have chosen. Then, a better candidate comes along later in the month...

[Kihon Kata]

Is Trafix NOT supporting this anymore? He hasn't been on vb.org since June 6th! WTF. :( Anyhow, I wanna the ability to PM instead of the emailing...

its pretty much my database that doesnt work, how i can i manuall install all the databases?

Nice hack. How might I make it so that only one usergroup can be nominated? For the others it would say "sorry, this user is not eligible for this poll" or something, if you tried to nominate them.

I removed this from my CP by searching in the languages/phrases I think. I personally would rather have found a way to make this work in 3.5.x since it is a great feature.

We ported this over to 3.6.8 and added some features. I just need to check out if there are any unspoken rules we need to follow since some of the original code was used although it hardly resembles the original, better safe than sorry.

[Lionel]

You would need to give full credits to original author.

[Ski-Whiz]

If some of their code was used, then I wouldn't see why you can't release it, but give credit to the original coder..

[Mum]

Oh yay! Can't wait for this!

[Ski-Whiz]

From what I have seen, you can port this over, but give credit to the original coder.

MANY 3.0 hacks/mods were ported to 3.5/3.6, as long as credit is given.
