@mitch84: That error says you don't have an 'is_blog' column. That column should be in the nominate_topic table - you can verify yourself by reading the beginning of the xml file. Use phpmyadmin to verify that your missing the 'is_blog' column in the nominate_topic table. If it's missing, you can try reinstalling the xml file (allow overwrite); OR use mysql or phpmyadmin to add the table column yourself.

hi, added by phpadmin because if I use "allow overwrite" this sql line don't write in phpadmin, fixed, thx

vbboarder two question:

1- how can I delete all winners awards?. Because I was testing the mod, and now I want to start up from 0.
2- Could you please provide the .psd (or whatever)buttons to trasnlate please?.

Thanks.

for some reason the (disable nominating posts older than X days?) is not working in our forum! We have entered 30 in the field, however, the nominate button is shown in topics older than 30 days. Some are 2 years old!

There are only special actions to delete a user's current nominations, and to recount current nominations and past awards (but not delete them). If you want to reset the awards to 0, you would need to use phpmyadmin or mysql browser.

I do not have the psd files since I did not create them. You need to ask princeedward, but I think he said in a previous post that he doesn't use psd's.

I'm not having that problem. I'll see if other users are also having your problem.

hi, look the screenshoot when a new poll is starting, what's happens? thx

what button image you still want to translate brader? maybe i can help you on this...just throw me some sample and idea...the rest is give me time to create them and for you to get ready your paypal to donate something to me....(LOL joke only)

:p

Princeedward, do you have any icons for the winners?? Because t he Nominated icons were great

Thank you for putting your hardwork and time into this. :) Great mod!

Glad you found it useful :D

It is a great Mod!

shall look forward to seeing if it works as it should after midnight tonight :)

Thanks Matthew. I think a lot of people are waiting to see if the automatic cron will work without any probs..... I don't anticipate any since the manual nomination poll creation and finalization works fine (tested it fine and so far no reported issues) and the automatic cron job uses the same code as that special action. The cron job is scheduled to happen 12:15 am server time; VB cron tasks depend on page requests, so make sure you visit your site (several times in case you have back-logged tasks).

Just wondering, where does the winners award appear in the postbit, as am concerned it will mess with my style like the nomination did

The winner award stamps should appear in the same exact location in postbit as the nomination stamps.

Worked like a charm, But need some new awards_ribbon.gif images, as they are awful on dark backgrounds, also a feature request, for a automatic thread to be created to announce the winners??? if possible?

Very nice work !!

I have a problem : The requested URL /forums/admincp/cronadmin.php was not found on this server.

I have change the name of admincp folder to adma so i upload in that folder the : cronadmin.php.

What is wrong ?

Can't you just create a folder called "admincp" and stick the file in there? as it's still looking for the folder "admincp"

Or I am guessing, in nominate_topic_admin.php you could change

define('CP_REDIRECT', $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/admincp/cronadmin.php?$session[sessionurl]do=runcron&cronid=" . $crondata['cronid']);

to

define('CP_REDIRECT', $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/adma/cronadmin.php?$session[sessionurl]do=runcron&cronid=" . $crondata['cronid']);

Great mod, Thanks!!!

Thank you matthewhotdude !!!!

Did that solve it? the folder or the file edit?

I see a problem and i am not sure if its known already and if there is a sollution to this.

Whave music names in our forum and vote for Track Of The Month.
When we aply a song with a "&" in the name it automaticly puts the word "amp;" behind the name in the Track Of The Month, View Poll Results forum. In the original forum the name stay correct.

Original:
Roger Shah & Signum - Healeville Sanctuary (Roger Shah Mix)
View Poll Results:
Roger Shah & Signum - Healeville Sanctuary (Roger Shah Mix)

Is there a sollution to this problem?

@Wird0: this is a known issue with VB polls; for example, you can create your own polls and the same thing would happen ('&' converted to '&'), or just see this thread here at VB.org.

@matthew: glad the automatic cron for the nomination contest worked fine for you. Regarding your suggestion, I'll consider having a post automatically created to announce the winners, but not a thread auto-created since the poll is already in a thread.

vbboarder is possibly to change poll opstions urls from "[post=_______]......[/post]" to "[url=......][url]" because I use vbseo and isnt working the links.

Thans

vbboarder, sorry I had clicked installed on your previous version... just click on this one too. It did not auto generate, so I ran a cron and it generated. I wish it would do it by itself?

Here are the images I made for nominating and nominated thread

Worked fine for me. Winners were chosen and given awards for last month and a new thread was automatically generated.

As for the vbseo person...I also have it and it works just fine for me. You probably have a bad setting in one of the rewrite options.

Also, vbboarder...what do I do with this? Did you mean for the nominated image to be floating around in the postbit? I know the last version had it in the upper right hand corner...

The auto cron worked fine for several users. Did you read this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=133

Do you have a customized footer template? $cronimage MUST BE PRESENT in that template.

Thanks for confirming that the auto cron works fine.

Please upload an image to your post. I don't go to unknown sites on my development computer for security reasons.

ahh ok, I got it... I will add it back. I had removed it because it leaves a space that was driving me crazy.

Does it matter where in the footer I put it?

Thanks great mod & voted for MOTM.

Ideas:
I don't use it for topic of the week/month, but for other contests such as Member of the Month, Signature of the Week, Profile of the Week, etc.

What we do is we post in the CONTEST forum a thread, let's say Member of the Month (MOTM) OCT.
Then on that first post we state the rules and other things for the contest. So first question, is it possible to disable first post from being nominated while all the other posts of that thread can be. This is so people don't nominate the post that isn't suppose to.
So then we have members reply to the MOTM thread with their USERNAME as the TITLE of their post, so the polls show their name when they are nominated.
Ok, everything works great.

Now, I want to create another contest thread Signature of the Week (SOTW) OCT W1. The problem is that the cycle time is set to Month.. I'm not sure how to make it work so that it shows up as Week. So second question, is it possible to pick day, week, or month depending on the thread? Or is it possible to have one forum use Week and another forum uses Month? If this not possible then I guess I can remove the Contest: [title] Of The [cycle] [month], [year] above the usernames and manually change the Title of the poll thread. And I will also have to change the Nomination Threads Standard Message text when the thread poll is made.
So last question, is it possible to have options like "add nominations forum" where we add a forum that we choose the forum and decide how the nominations work for that forum like "cycle" , "nomination threads standard message" , "nomination contest title" and a lot of the already included options but set for the forum we set it to.

Example:
Admin clicks on "add nomination forum"
Setting the options for forum 1:

• Forum: Member of the Month MOTM
• Cycle: Monthly
• Nomination Contest Title: Member
• Nomination Threads Standard Message: whatever goes here
• and many of the other options that's too many to list.

Admin clicks on "add nomination forum"
Setting the options for forum 2:

• Forum: Signature of the Week SOTW
• Cycle: Weekly
• Nomination Contest Title: Signature
• Nomination Threads Standard Message: whatever goes here
• and many of the other options that's too many to list.

Thanks for reading.. this sounds like another mod that you can make.

vbboarder is possibly to change poll options urls: from "[post=_______]......[/post]" to "[url=......][url]" because I use vbseo and the links isnt working.

Thanks!!!

Hello again!!!! I miss your post!... Thanks again!

awards_ribbon.gif= First Place = Primer Lugar

nominated_award_1_1.png= TOTW 1st = TDLS 1er.

nominated_award_1_2.png= TOTW 2nd = TDLS 2do.

nominated_award_1_0.png= TOTW 3rd = TDLS 3er.

THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH!!!!... let me know if I can do something or you!!!

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.

Azzid, I open a ticke in Vbseo, they tolld me that those topics dons?t exist... look:

Nuevo AltoForo: ?Que te parece? - 33,33%
Turismo AF ( nueva secci?n) - 16,67%
Spot Pol?mico - 16,67%
Televisi?n Espa?ola en manos de Clar?n....o sera que...? - 16,67%
Tramit? ciudadan?a alemana.. - 16,67%


Altough:

http://www.altoforo.com/anuncios-y-t...te-parece.html
http://www.altoforo.com/salidas-anec...a-seccion.html

etc.

Never said topics...I said settings. There isn't one directly related to this product, it has to do with single posts rewrite.

Yes, they look at my settings.... the answer was: "Those topis dosn´t exist". Can you please linkme to your forum to see how itps working for you?

There's no float css for the nomination & award stamps in the nominate_topic_stamps template - you can verify yourself. You may have customized your postbit template, so if you floated elements in the userinfo area of postbit, you'll also need to float the stamp image in the nominate_topic_stamps template.

@MaRu: I think AzzidReign is right about the vbseo setting - don't know which one though since I don't use it.

Gosh, talking about 20 questions.... J.K. Anyways, see the "cycle time" and "contest title" settings - they determine the thread title and PM title/ message. You can specify multiple forums to enable nominations, but they should be for the same subject (ie: posts, members, etc.) and they all share the same settings. You can not disable the first post only, but you can do the opposite - "enable the first post only".

It's definitely requires another mod, but unlikely it would be made since it requires a lot of coding/ time.

Please disregard my message sent to you.

The mod is still working ...

However ...

We can not nominate new topics but we can nominate topics that are over a week old.

Am I missing a setting here???
