Members Choice voting hack - V2 with usergroup permissions

[trafix]

I have eventually got around to porting and releasing this hack on vborg for vb 3.0.5 :)

1 file edit
3 template edit
3 new db table

This hack uses and includes a copy of the [HIS] Hack Installer System (Build 3)
released by Link14716 and can be found here --> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=71542


This is similar to the earlier version however i have mane some changes including the ability to run more that one polling booth at a time :)

The member who nominates another can give reason for nominating the person.
and then the nominee can add an acceptance speech.
Avatars are also displayed for both nominee and nominator.

A Tutorial for manual install can be found here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=76050 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=76050)

UPDATE V1.1

missing phrases added
changed wrong phrase call in template
fixed db quirie to add the table prefix


UPDATE V1.2

Changed phrasegroup id due to conflict with another hack

Update V2
1. Booth auto close.
2. Add option for nominate to be able to vote for the person they nominated
3. Add option to deny admin from nomination.
4. Added usergroup permissions for
-- Who can vote
-- Who can nominate
-- who can remove nominees
-- who can see votes.
5) fixed some phrases
If you are upgrading please be sure to remove the "1" folder before starting the install of v2

This is one very interesting hack. I might use this one.

[NuclioN]

Trafix can you provide a 'non HIS' install file for this? Tnx in advance.

[MikaK]

Interesting. Does this work for 303?

=M=

[shadiguy1]

yah id like a non his Version as well.

[rinkrat]

Yeah I just want to install it without this other hack. Looks like a perfect "Player of the Month" hack for my site though. Please hook us up with the proper procedures for hacking without HIS.

[docvader]

I think we've used this HIS system a few times before however, even though I prefer text files. i'm going to try it to see what happens.

[yinyang]

ooh. i've been waiting for something like this for an organization. 1) a non-HIS installer instructions would be awesome!! if possible. 2) is there a way in the next generation to set the member choice via usergroups?

for example, i have a directors board that nominates and votes on the best members of the month. we don't have the members vote, so if you could restrict or allow only certain usergroups, that'd be great!

Yep, i will look at usergroups for you

I can ... but to do it manually will take a lot of time as there are a lot of phrases and templates

Interesting. Does this work for 303?

Yep it should work on 3.0.3 ... i actually coded it for 3.0.0 and i didnt have to change any code for 3.0.5

non his Version
Can i ask the problem with the HIS?

The way i see it the HIS is stable and dosnt require and file or template edits, all it needs is one new db table that is added the first time that you run the script .... is it realy that big of a deal?


Trafix

[alkatraz]

Great idea for a hack!! Sorting through nominations and votes is such a pain in the ass.

Nothing wrong with it, but a lot of peeps like to do things manualy "just in case" something could affect their heavily modded board.

Hmm manually ..... its not my idea of fun sitting there adding heaps of templates and phrases one at a time :(

vB trader manually .... i dont think so .... over 70 templates and like over 400 new phrases ...... manual is not going to happen .. lol

[kall]

In the text file you mention installing vB Jukebox... :)

[paulmjno]

This is confusing. I have installed the hack, but have no idea how to use it. Where can I add voting booths? And why does the install text have info about vB Jukebox in it?

ummm you will find the settings in the vb options .... and to set up a polling booth .... setect the polling booth manager and click on "add"

[MikaK]

Seems like very cool! and fun:D Definately finds the small, very deep hiding politician even in me!

I think I found a small bug creating a db error when clickin at the "Leader Board" link. In mc_pollbooth.php around line 333

$topresult = $DB_site->query("
SELECT * FROM mc_nominee
WHERE boothid = $boothid
ORDER BY votes
DESC


needs a TABLE_PREFIX, like in my case: scll as the tableprefix

$topresult = $DB_site->query("
SELECT * FROM scllmc_nominee
WHERE boothid = $boothid
ORDER BY votes
DESC


Further, I think it would be nice if bbcode and smilies were present available for the speeches.

this will automaticly announce new polling booths in a nominated forum and automaticly announce a winner at the end of the voting period :)

Why thank you! Praise for NZ boards...and it's from an Australian of all people! ;)

But seriously, I appreciate it...I put a lot of time into them. :)

As for the phrase, there was one by the same details in Members Choice Phrases, but nada in the Control Panel Global family. Put it in there and bob's your mothers brother..all good. :D

Installed on heavily hacked newly upgraded 3.05 board without any problem, except, the mc_members_choice phrase didn't work for the Admin CP area (despite edit and save). Not sure why. Bypassed it by hard coding the admincp/index.php file, so it didn't matter.

All seems to work, so far. Looking forward to more stuff trafix. Keep up the good work.

I installed first but got a database error something to do with this query:

$query['new'][] = 'INSERT INTO '.TABLE_PREFIX.'phrasetype (phrasetypeid, fieldname, title, editrows) VALUES (153, \'members_choice\', \'Members Choice\', 3)';

Saying it was a duplicate:

I then removed the query from the queries.php along with:

$query['new'][] = 'ALTER TABLE '.TABLE_PREFIX.'language ADD `phrasegroup_members_choice` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL';

And it said it installed fine but all the phrases are in the wrong place. Well some are working but all the ones above do not. How can i move them all at once.

Another thing, I tried to install it but i got this error:

There is no record of Members Choice being installed. It cannot be uninstalled.

Even though i installed it!!!1

Arghhhhhh!!!

How is the installation of this hack causing people to be logged out of your forums? The only php files that are altered is admincp/index.php ... do you have other hacks installed that may be conflicting? Like the loginlog hack?

hmmm .... i warned vb org staff in a pvt forum that this this could happn but i was ignored :( ... i will now say it in a public thread...

hmmm ok here is the fix ..... in the hack/members choice/1/ folder open quiries.php and change the phraseid number to something else say 887 in the first quirie

then open phrases.php and change all the phrases with phraseid 153 to 887 as well .... then you will be able to successufully install both hacks

Hmm with the number of hacks around nowadays, this with the phraseid's just must give problems. Only quick solution i see for this is when all people who want to release a hack here, first in 1 thread "registrate" the id's they are gonna use.

I'm getting the same problem, I did edit/save a phrase as sometimes that clears up phrases not showing up... but, not in this case.

I love this mod by the way.

[trafix]

hmm, i think i know where your comming from .... go to the phrase manager and select global control panel ... find one of the phrases for the members choice and select edit .... your dont need to edit any details but just click on save ... then check the admin for the other phrases, there could be some issue where the phrases arnt seen by the site and just by editing a phrase forces the vb software to re do them all

just a thought

Rule Number 2 makes no sense:

Basically this defeats the object of nominating that person. You are nominating the person so you can vote for them, aren't you?

Any idea on the default avatar, or something to stick in there if they don't have one?

[mcyates]

thank you very much

[trafix]

open mc_polling booth

find

$avatar1 = fetch_avatar_url($nomineeinfo['userid']);
if ($avatar1 == "")
{
$leftavatar ="";
}
else
{
$leftavatar ="<img src=\"$avatar1\" border=\"0\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 5px;\" />";
}

$avatar2 = fetch_avatar_url($nomineeinfo['nominatorid']);
if ($avatar2 == "")
{
$rightavatar ="";
}
else
{
$rightavatar = "<img src=\"$avatar2\" border=\"0\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 5px;\" />";
}


change

$leftavatar ="";

and

$rightavatar ="";

to

$xxxxxavatar ="path to defult avatar";

I THINK that should work :)

[rex_b]

Nope no worky :(

[trafix]

hmmm, should have .... did you use the img tag

$xxxxxavatar ="<img src=\"path to avatar\" border=\"0\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 5px;\" />";

i should have put that in the lase post ....

hmmm, should have .... did you use the img tag

$xxxxxavatar ="<img src=\"path to avatar\" border=\"0\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 5px;\" />";

Am I doing something wrong. I get error when I do this:

$xxxxxavatar ="<img src=\"images/professional/misc/noavatar.gif" border=\"0\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 5px;\" />";

[trafix]

i put the "images/professional/misc/noavatar.gif" after your url (the one in your profile)

and there was no inage there

[trafix]

i put the "images/professional/misc/noavatar.gif" after your url (the one in your profile)

also you need to change the xxxx in the string to "left" "right" in each case

OK i got it to work with no errors but it still doesn't show up.

Ahh success! Always something simple.. hehe

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Rule Number 2 makes no sense:

2) You may not vote for the person that you nominated.

Basically this defeats the object of nominating that person. You are nominating the person so you can vote for them, aren't you?
I agree, it should be the other way round. If you nominate a person, that would also be an implicit vote on that same person. You can't vote on anybody else anymore, since you already automatic voted.

Just my view on this.

[trafix]

hmmm i thought i added that option in the vb options ..... but i cant see it .... lol

[rex_b]

Here is how I put it in my post bit :)

[trafix]

Nice :)

[Paul M]

What exactly does this hack do ?

[trafix]

Members Choice voting hack .... you can set up polling booths for any reason you want eg member of the month.....

your forum members nominate ppl they think deserves to win the award ....
once all the nomination positions have been filled then the voting starts ....
all forum members can vote on the niminees and of course the person with the highest votes win :)

[yinyang]

trafix - i know you've got a lot on your plate. any idea when you'd get to usergroups for this and the vbjukebox?

[trafix]

i am working on the next juke update now .... as it is getting very popular ;)

[MorrisMcD]

I dont know what I could have done wrong...

But in my admincp, I only see a section for the Member Choice and when I expand the menu, I have a blank field that I can click on and actually get to set up member choices.. But all the text is missing it seems.. Much like what the members see

http://forums.cincybengals.com/mc_pollbooth.php?

[MorrisMcD]

To clarify...

When I 'add'

I get the first field.. Unknown what it is for because there is no text next to it to say...

A yes or no toggle.. again, unknown what for.. No txt next to it

The third line DOES say end date.. So that one is there and gives me drop downs for a date...

Any ideas?

[MorrisMcD]

Also, I guess I should mention that after the install, I cannot view the Members Choice Installation Edits

[trafix]

ok ... the edits are in the readme file

as for the phrases ... there seems to be a small bug in the his ... go to the phrase manager look for one of the custon phrases and select edit, then save without changing anything ..... all the phrases should work .... Enjoy!

Cool

I got all the edits in the txt.. Just making sure I wasnt missing out on any (if yer checking my site, I temp took out the navbar edit until this is working)

I edited a phrase and saved it.. Seemed to fix a lot.. http://forums.cincybengals.com/mc_pollbooth.php?
It definately is a step in the right direction...

BUT now when I nominate someone, it says this...

Could not find phrase 'mc_polling_booth_closed'.


I checked for that phrase and it does exist... Any ideas?

Thanks for your reply BTW

[trafix]

hmmm, so you tryed to nominate on a closed poling booth .... i will test tomorrow in my site ... its 2 am here and bed time ;)

[MorrisMcD]

hmmm, so you tryed to nominate on a closed poling booth .... i will test tomorrow in my site ... its 2 am here and bed time ;)


Ahh.. I didnt realize it was closed.. Sure, you should add something to come back and tell the user its closed rather than not finding a phrase...

BUT...

I tried it again on an open poll and it worked fine... THANKS!!!

FYI.. In admincp, I can now see 'Polling Booth Manager' when I expand the group it is in, but the group still is blank as KALL had back on page 3 of this thread...

Thanks for your help.. I should be good to at least readd it to the navbar and let users use it...

(If I wanted it to be above 'Who's online' where would I edit it in the navbar template?) <---This should be easy, I know, but I want to make sure I know.. I am a novice at all this...

Thanks again for your help.. Now go get some sleep!!! :)


*EDIT* - If you want members choice to be above who's online, just changing the instructions to add above it rather than below it works fine (in regards to the template mod of navbar.. I know most of you see this as obvious, but for novices like me, it may come in handy as whos online is VERY frequently used by everyone and having it at the bottom should probably remain so, since users are used to it

Someone nominated me for an award, and everything worked, but the email I received had this as the subject...

hmm, when you search for the 'mc_nomination_email'.' phrases there should be 2 of them, 1 in the email body phrases and 1 in the email subject phrases .... if you are missing them i think i has quoted them in one of my posts on the 1st or 2nd page of this thread.

as for the admin navbar issue ... check that the phrase is in the control panel gloabal phrasegroup and that the varname and the script is the same spelling.

ALL nominations must be filled before anybody can vote

[newtsys]

excellent hack! will come in handy for member of the month votes/nominations:)

[MikaK]

ALL nominations must be filled before anybody can vote

trafixHi trafix,

What if I set the control for
Voting
Does the voting start when all nomination positions have been filled?

to option "no".

Does it only block the voting from starting at all?

Two requests:
If your answer for the above is yes, would it be difficult to hack the mod so voting can start even if not all positions are filled?

The other one would it be difficult to hack this with different set of voting rules for each booth established?

Regs,

Hello,
does the possibility exist of letting indicate on vbindex the portal in a customerbox, the Nr.1 of the Vots?

Thus the user, who has most Vots?

exsample:
Best man Member of the Month
or
Best woman Member of the Month

Thus in a box, the name with the picture appears?

I would dout that there is an intergration hack that will display the voting / nominations in portals .... however i suggest that you post that request in their support thread. and im sure someone will code it for you ;)

[trafix]

OK ..... i found the bug that is causing the missing phrases in the email body... I will update the zip soon.

Here is the quick fix

If an email phrase varname has more than one underscore "_" it seems to have some sort of conflict .....

open mc_moninate.php and on 296 and find

eval(fetch_email_phrases('mc_nomination_email'));
change to
eval(fetch_email_phrases('mc_nominationemail'));

save and upload mc_moninate.php

search for phrase in both email body and email subject for

mc_nomination_email change to mc_nominationemail

That should fix the problem

[T3MEDIA]

I am missing the mc_nomination_email in email subject phrases...

You quoted the body back on page 2 or 3, but not the subject.. Could you please??? :squareeyed:

As for 'filling' nominations, I am not even sure yet how many are needed... I have some awards where only one person was nominated, and they already have some votes... I also noticed that you can vote on as many of the candidates as you like.. Is this by design? I would prefer it keeps you from voting twice, but just curious if that is how you designed it or not.

Also, above all the nominations and whatnot on the members choice page, there is a box with 'Booth List' in the top left of that box.. Nothing else in that box.. :confused:

[trafix]

OK the phrases are
mc_nomination_email in email subject

$bbuserinfo[username] has nominated you for $booth[title].


mc_nomination_email in email subject

$bbuserinfo[username] has nominated you for $booth[title].

Please take the time to add your acceptance speech $bbuserinfo.

Click Here $vboptions[bburl]/mc_pollbooth.php?$session[sessionurl]do=showbooth&boothid=$boothid


as for your other issues check your settings in the vb options - members choice

[Deviant++]

In acp, the box where if I press expand and it shows

-Polling Booth Manager:



The box dosn't have a title. Could you direct me to where typo could be cause I'm sure I've missed it out somewhere.. :)



also, when a nomination is relied to.. it says this.. but still completes the process with the reply... jus that error in the redirect page.. what could it be ?

[trafix]

its more like the phrases are missing for some reason

in the frontend re-direct phrases should be

varname - mc_nominated_and_accepted
text - You have been nominated and made your acceptance speech.

in members choice phrases should be

varname - mc_members_choice
text - Members Choice

Done, :D but what any suggestions for the admin cp blank box title ?

the second phrase should have fixed that .... hmmm ... a screenie of your admincp please?

[trafix]

Any solution for this?

=M=
if you set "Does the voting start when all nomination positions have been filled?" to option "no"...... the voting can start straight away without all the nominations being filled.

yes it would it be difficult to hack this with different set of voting rules for each booth established but i could look at that for the next release

[Deviant++]

it's just the same, a blank box which I click and the menu drops down n shows pollboth options... the 2nd phrase is already there..

[trafix]

check the spelling of the varname in the phrase manager and the code that you put in for the admin navigation

[docvader]

I don't know if anyone played with this, after upgrading to 3.06, but it's not a happy puppy. I've upgraded, and lost this hack. Can't uninstall it (get "foreach" errors), can't reinstall templates, and don't have the templates anymore. Phrases are still there.

Will try reinstalling templates manually to see if this comes back.

Don't you just love upgrading these boards...

[trafix]

hmm, i wonder y thats happened :(

you can take the templates out of the install files :) .. template.php

[docvader]

OK, I think it all works again. I had to reinstall all the templates manually, after upgrading to 3.06. I'm not doing this upgrade stuff again for a while, LOL.

Trafix, for some reason, your templates get over ridden. And your installer will not function properly after the upgrade. The phrases are all there, and were not changed. The templates were wiped out. It's easy to fix, you just have to go into the installer files, open the template.php, and start copying and pasting.

[trafix]

ok thanks .... i will investigate :)

[trafix]

Anybody else having problems?

[MorrisMcD]

Anybody else having problems?
Actually.. Yea.. Today I noticed I couldnt vote for someone because it said I nominated them.. Unfortunately, I didnt nominate them.. No members have complained about this yet, but it happened to me...

yep thats right its been around for ages and i havnt released it till a couple of weeks ago ... lol

Ill look into it

The 'see who's voted ' link on each poll just showed up for some booths now, but it wasnt before. Some are now missing the 'vote for' link, and some have the 'vote for' link and the 'see whos voted' link.

I may delete all the polls and readd them, and it may be fixed.. I am not sure..

very odd problems

Strangest part is these things started changing just recently without me changing anything. And the poll close date is the end of Feb

[trafix]

these links are dependant on the settings in the vb options .... eg if the options are set for no voting until all nominations are filled ... then the vote link will not be there until all the nominations are filled ... and likewise they will disapear when the polling booth closes

i have passed these issues onto the coder if the HIS, you can post your concerns there

It would be nice to have either an "opt-out" option in the UCP, or settings in the ACP to make certain usergroups ineligible from being nominated. As soon as I put it up I was nominated (as admin) and nobody else wanted to do any other nominations :)

Otherwise, I see templates, and it seems to function. The admincp/index.php file edit is correct. Not sure what to do here trafix. Any ideas?

You can play with it here: http://x.russbo.com/vb/mc_pollbooth.php?do=showbooth&boothid=1

I seem to have the same problem of booths not closing automatically.

I understand there are usergroup permissions to set, but if I overwrite the usergroup.php from the hack, all my existing usergroup hacks are lost.

Can you list the ammendments to be made to the usergroup.php to install the hack !?

[trafix]

NO sorry just edit your file as per the readme instructions ...
i forgot to delete that file from the zip .. i will do it now

[TTG]

Whoops .. now what !?

Also now getting error message when I try and update any usergroup :

[trafix]

interesting ... it looks like the script hasnt added the field to teh usergroup table for some reason


ALTER TABLE `usergroup` ADD `mcpollingbooth` INT( 12 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL ;

[TTG]

Thanks .. that solved the usergroup permissions update problem.
admincp shows "Members Choice" but no drop down options to edit !?

[trafix]

Yep its all in the readme file, there is 1 option to add to the quick drop down list and a couple to the postbit templates

[TTG]

I think you misunderstand .. admincp shows "Members Choice", but nothing else and the usergroups now show 4 additional yes / no options with no explanation of what they are or what the yes / no options provide.

[trafix]

ahh, ok find a phrase in the admincp phrasegroup ... search for "mc_" and select edit .... then save it without changing any of the data

[TTG]

That did the trick .. thanks for your help trafix.
Clicked install and all is now working well.

[trafix]

Wootness .... ENJOY!

[TTG]

When someone clicks to vote for a nominee,box opens asking for 'Reason'.
Header of box shows "You are voting for" .. should the name of the nominee be shown alongside this header message ?

[trafix]

yeah it should .... ill look at it

[Vizionz]

i can never get this thing to work i get errors bigtime. when it gets to the stles. then if i skip that part and try to install the file edits errors maybe because i am using 3.06 but this system should of been made manually instead of with that hack installer or wrote your own because it aint bug free in anyway.

[shadiguy1]

i keep getting this error when i try and install it right after it says it changed all my stykes and i click done i get thsi error ill post a pic

[shadiguy1]

Bump

[MR-2ZZ]

I too get the same error

[Marco van Herwaarden]

In file install/hacks/Members Choice/2/queries.php change
$query['new'][] = 'ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup
ADD mcpollingbooth INT( 12 ) NOT NULL
)';
into (remove the closing ")"):$query['new'][] = 'ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup
ADD mcpollingbooth INT( 12 ) NOT NULL
';

[MR-2ZZ]

Great now I cant update any of my usergroups :(

[MR-2ZZ]

In file install/hacks/Members Choice/2/queries.php change
$query['new'][] = 'ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup
ADD mcpollingbooth INT( 12 ) NOT NULL
)';
into (remove the closing ")"):$query['new'][] = 'ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup
ADD mcpollingbooth INT( 12 ) NOT NULL
';


same error occured

[MR-2ZZ]

Ok here is what I did, I removed from the queries the first 2 and the last query, and removed all mc_xxx from my db. Install went through, I then manually enterered this:


ALTER TABLE `usergroup` ADD `mcpollingbooth` INT( 12 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL ;


and now everything is back working on my site. I can give user group permissions and what not. I added a booth and it went fine, but nothing else seems to work. I am also going to have to figure out why there is no title for the drop down in the admincp.

[MR-2ZZ]

It appears that it is working as normal after I did the above.

[shadiguy1]

trying everything damn thing will not install i keep getting the database error

[MR-2ZZ]

Do This...

* Make necessary changes per Readme
* Go into your DB and drop all mc_ tables
* Find the /Members choice v2/upload/install/hacks/Members Choice/2/quieries.sql, and change it to the below form.


<?php

$query['new'][] = 'CREATE TABLE '. TABLE_PREFIX .'mc_nominee (
`mc_nomineeid` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`boothid` int( 11 ) NOT NULL default \'0\',
`userid` int( 11 ) NOT NULL default \'0\',
`username` varchar( 225 ) default \'0\',
`nominatorid` smallint( 5 ) default \'0\',
`nominatorname` varchar( 50 ) NOT NULL default \'\',
`votes` smallint( 6 ) default \'0\',
`nomreason` mediumtext NOT NULL ,
`acceptspeach` mediumtext NOT NULL ,
`datestamp` int( 10 ) NOT NULL default \'0\',
PRIMARY KEY ( `mc_nomineeid` )
) TYPE = MYISAM ;';

$query['new'][] = 'CREATE TABLE '. TABLE_PREFIX .'mc_pollbooth (
`mc_pollboothid` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`title` varchar(255) NOT NULL default \'\',
`status` smallint(2) default \'0\',
`statusreason` varchar(255) NOT NULL default \'\',
`startdate` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default \'0\',
`enddate` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default \'0\',
`qty_nominees` smallint(3) default \'0\',
`qty_votes` int(11) NOT NULL default \'0\',
PRIMARY KEY (`mc_pollboothid`))';

$query['new'][] = 'CREATE TABLE '. TABLE_PREFIX .'mc_whovoted (
`mc_whovotedid` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`boothid` int(11) NOT NULL default \'0\',
`nomuserid` int(11) default \'0\',
`nomusername` varchar(255) NOT NULL default \'\',
`voteruserid` int(11) default \'0\',
`votername` varchar(255) NOT NULL default \'\',
`votereason` mediumtext NOT NULL,
`votedate` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default \'0\',
PRIMARY KEY (`mc_whovotedid`)
)';

?>


* Re-Run the Install script.
* Manuall enter this code into your DB


ALTER TABLE `usergroup` ADD `mcpollingbooth` INT( 12 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL ;


* Next goto AdminCP, goto Languages and Phrases, select any phrase (edit) and save without changing anything.

* That should work now

[MR-2ZZ]

BTW: I am using 3.0.6 patched to 3.0.7

[shadiguy1]

im runnin 3.0.3 patched to 3.0.7 hit me on aim shadiguy1 maybe we can work somethig out if you can get it working for me.

[MR-2ZZ]

Okie I walked shadiguy1 through the same process I followed and it worked!

[shadiguy1]

[MR-2ZZ]

No Problemo :)

[shadiguy1]

change file Edit to This to fix problem with Button being blank for members choice in Admins Cp . Change file edit in adminCP/index.php to The Following

if (can_administer('canadminstyles'))
{
$printhr = true;
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['mc_polling_booth_manager'], 'vb_memberschoice_admin.php', '<br />');
construct_nav_group("Members Choice", '<hr />');

[EDDIE!]

I've installed this hack already and it's working nice, but I'd like to make it possible to nominate Administrators. How is this possible?

[SiFor]

I just upgraded to vb3.0.7 and now all my polls dont show. The data is still there in the adminCP but not in the polling station. How can I fix this?

[h75]

I installed the latest version, but have a couple of questions.
How do I prevent admins from being nominated?
Also, have you given any thought for a custom module for vbAdvanced index page so that the results show up on the front page?

[Lizard King]

Cron job is now working for me. I get the following error :

Warning: main(./includes/cron/mc_cron_autoendpollphp): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /admincp/cronadmin.php on line 56

[Lionel]

hi, the hack is working fine, but for the acceptance email, i get
subject:Could not find phrase 'mc_nomination_email'. (it's in there in custom phrase

has nominated you for Best Poster ever.

Please take the time to add your acceptance speech Array.

Click Here

[Lionel]

in template mc_vote_reason, why would $nominfo[username] return blank?

[Protoman]

got it manually installed after the installer failed..

now I try to nominate a member and it takes me to the login screen.. saying no permission.. any ideas?

[MR-2ZZ]

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

[Protoman]

fixed. maybe we should add something in the install that tells you to set up the permissions in the usergroup page. cause I just spent 3 hours tracing through my database and the code to find the problem and solution.. set the permissions :ermm:

[Detomah]

*snipped*

* That should work now

Super job, works a treat for me after applying those changes, so thanks. :)

[MR-2ZZ]

Awesome.

[Scerina]

err...I think something is seriously wrong with mines...if someone who has experince with installing this, can you please contact me or post here to help me out???? thanx in advance

[MR-2ZZ]

Whats wrong? Did you follow the instructions I posted 2 pages back?

[Protoman]

I'm having a phrase issue. when it sends the email to somebody the message is correct but the title says missing mc_nomination_email.. thinking the phrase was placed in the wrong group and should be in 'Email Subject Text' instead. I'll try that... so.. now I have 2 mc_nomination_email phrases...

[TTG]

When someone clicks to vote for a nominee,box opens asking for 'Reason'.
Header of box shows "You are voting for" .. should the name of the nominee be shown alongside this header message ?

Any news on this small problem ?

And another :-
Cron job doesn't close polling booth, even if run manually !

[Scerina]

I followed the instructions in the .zip file that had the actual hack in it...is there a different set of directions?

[Scerina]

When I edit the Usergroup Pemissions for this hack...I get a mySQL Database error message...

[Scerina]

can someone please reinstall this hack for me? I think I messed it up along the lines somewhere and I dunno where as am not a techie...I did follow the instructions in the original zip file for this hack posted on top...

[Scerina]

I think I got it workin, I ran this query:
ALTER TABLE `usergroup` ADD `mcpollingbooth` INT( 12 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL ;


Now everything seems to be working...

Now how do I nominate a member and vote? How does this work exactly?

[MR-2ZZ]

Instructions on how to install this are on Page 15. I posted a new install.

[Esposito]

Where can I nominate the rights assigned around user? Can someone help me?
Greets

[EDDIE!]

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.

[MR-2ZZ]

I am working on it guys.
