Well I have no hope then, Can you screen shot or tell me what the options should be?

It was working fine earlier and nothing has changed since then


So that won't have anything to do with this?

Yes, As soon as I deleted some nominations, to bring it back down to 10 threads nominated, the poll re-appeared....How can I stop this happening?

I already told you where to find the default options....

The VB Options only allows max 10 nominated topics.

How many nominated topics are you allowing? Do you remember how many topics were nominated when the problem happened (ie: 5, 9, 10, etc.)?

Maximun Number Of Topic To Display On Polls
Select the maximum number of topics you wish to have displayed in the polls.

I have got that set to 10, there were more than 10 nominations...so how do I stop more than 10 threads being nominated

It should have stopped at 10 in the contest poll, but users can still nominate topics. Try '9' and it should limit the nominations in the contest poll only. Can you provide a screenshot with more than 10 nominations?

I did in my other post, that was with more than 10 nominations....or do you mean something else?

This is it with it set at 9

Does that look correct?

CHANGE CURRENT SETTINGS for "max topics in polls" to '9'.

Provide a screenshot with more than 10 nominations so I can help you debug.

I have set it to 9 and provided a screen shot with it at 9 above.

when you say a screen shot of 10 nominations, Do you mean of the poll page?

Tried it to my site for postbit_legacy setup...looks good at the moment but i'm gonna observe it first if it's gonna work till the end...got my screenshots below coz i place it far right inside the post message....also created new nominated post/topic seal for

This might also bigger and easy for a nominated thread,topic or post to recognize... hope some of our friends here find it also nice and good to use it also...

thanks and best regards to all...

:p:up:

A suggestion for future release. Once the maximum number of threads/posts have been nominated, the nominate button should disapear for all threads apart from the ones already nominated??

@princeedward: thanks for the new images, looks great! Can you make 2 more "nominated" stamps for topic/ post of the fortnight since that's also a possible duration? I'll include it in a future release. Thanks :)

Good suggestion, maybe for a future release - I'll see how difficult it is to implement.

BTW: got your screenshot of 9 nominees, looks fine.

I don't think there is a maximum number of topics/posts that can be nominated. There's just a maximum number that can be shown in the poll and only the Top 5,6,7,8,9, or 10 will show up in the poll. I have way more than 10 nominated but have it set to only show the Top 5 most voted on nominations in the poll.

http://diecastcrazy.com/community/va...er-2009-a.html

If we we're limited to how many topics could be nominated per month then this would kind of be pointless to use for a whole month...a post of the week could be feasible but if you have an active board a limit could be used up within the first few days of the month and the rest of the good posts couldn't be nominated.

I agree with you nascartr. The nominations mod is made to be dynamic so that better posts made later in the month can still qualify to be nominated and so that early posts can not hog up a limited # of nominations.

I thought Matthew meant preventing post nominations from the same thread once the max nominations was reached so that 1 thread can not hog a contest. There are cases that can be advantageous or disadvantageous with this feature. Currently, you can limit nominations to 1st posts only so that 1 thread can not hog a contest. I'll wait and see what other users prefer....

Yes' it's fine as it is, I totally misunderstood. I thought that because the poll only showed 9, that was the maximum that could be nominated. so when people were nominating more they were just wasting there time.

I completly understand now :)

Sorry.


I'm going to be a complete pain in the arse now, I know you have answered this question before, but I am new to all this and I just can not work out hot to do it....see attatched screen shot

Matthew,

So your posts above regarding more than 10 nominations was about threads/ posts still being able to be nominated when the max nominations in poll was reached?

If so, that's expected behavior as described in my previous post. Or did you mean more than 10 nominations were showing in the contest poll? Let me know so I know if there's a bug or not....

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1889508&postcount=76" target="_blank">https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showp...8&postcount=76</a>

That post there is a bug. When you have it set to 10, and more than 10 are nominated. Nothing shows up in the poll...see the screenshot on that post.

Everything else is ok apart from the problem in my previous post about the "nomination image" position

Well, set "max nominations shown in poll" to '9' just in case there's a bug with '10'.

The image position is not a bug, it's your personal preference. That involves modifying the postbit template, which is a general question and not specific to this mod so you can post in the VB Discussions or Design Discussions forums (or maybe someone else can help you in this thread).

a okay...no problem here it is...

Having no luck over there, someone must know :(

Sorted myself, used this hook, Not ideal but an improvement

$template_hook[postbit_messagearea_start]



Thanks Princeedward :) those Icons are great

@princeedward: that was fast.... thanks for the 2 new images! :)

@matthewhotdude: regarding your post, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....8&postcount=76

Do you have it on weekly nominations? Cause if you do, you should see a new contest poll every week that's initially empty. The old contest polls should remain intact though.

No it's on monthly, it's fine till there are over 10 nominations, then after that the poll empties

I have set it at 9 now and it's ok on 9

Nice mod!!!!!!!!.... Im testing!

Pinceedward can you please put the .psd files for the non-english forums? THANKS A LOT!!!!

I have a mis-alignment of the winner image (here).

I follow all instructions but cant make the icon show.

Im guess is because i have a customize theme...... what can I do?...

Where did you upload the images too?? make sure you put them in your customized style folder

I uploaded the images following your suggestion and... nothing...

I attach my configs... maybe is a stupid thing....

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!

Which icons arnt showing up? the "nominated" on the thread or the post icon?

You have them set up wrong anyway, read it again, it's supposed to just be a number not a URL

Your are right... but... how can I see the ID of a ICON? Thanks!



https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1253842186

Click on the edit button for the icon, and it will be at the top

Matt THANK YOU SO MUCH... now is working great.

Excelent mod!!!!!

Edit:

How can I made the "nominated_post_0.gif" be inside first post like priceedwar did???

Mine is like that

Goto

Plugin manager

Scrool down to Topic Nomination

postbit_display_start Click edit

Find

eval('$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_left]

Replace with

eval('$template_hook[postbit_messagearea_start]

THANKS AGAIN!!!

A suggestion:

When you setup the post icons, any user can use those, and in this way, those post icon for "the nomination status" loose their raison d'être.

I hope you can understand what im talking about.

hi...i'm not using PSD on that images...other easy software for me to use...not quite perfect like PSD but its okay.
