You can also view the live forum here

Will each of these Vendors have the "nominate" text on the thread your looking at?
Also, does this Mod have the ability to let a user from a specific IP vote only once on a specific thread?...for example, the same user can't vote on the same thread multiple times...

Thanks

Do the vendors have user accounts? If they do and are tied to a specific vendor type usergroup, you could make a user nomination with only that usergroup and any post they make will have the option to nominate them.

You can make it so each user can only nominate once per nomination. It doesn't have the ability to restrict to the IP.

Do you have a nomination that's current and active? If you want you can pm me a link and a temp admin account, I'll take a look.

I tried this mod out. It seems decent, but there are a few things that I couldn't get to work or find, and the mod seems to be lacking some features.

1. In the AdminCP there is a welcome message that "displays on the vbnominate front page" Where is this front page? Earlier in this thread you said there is no "front end" at the moment. Does that mean this AdminCP settings does nothing currently?

2. On vb 4.2.0 PL3 the polls do not seem to work. I can get the nominations to work, and I can choose between Auto Score or Polls. When selecting polls, no poll is created after making a nomination. I have selected a forum with which to make the poll in the AdminCP options.

3. Can we move the forumhome block to its own dedicated page? I saw where you explained how to put it below the forums, instead of under the navbar, but it's own dedicated page would be MUCH better.

4. If the forumhome block is turned off, where do users see nominations?

What would be the conditional to add, so that a user could not nominate their own entry.
Possibly not show the image on a users own post.
EDIT:
I have sorted it now.
If anyone is interested in the code, here is what i did, so users cannot vote for their own posts.
I opted to not automatically insert code in the options/settings.
Then in my postbit_Legacy template, i added the following code where i wanted the nominate button to show

Code:

<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid] != $post[userid]">

{vb:raw vbnominate.combined}

</vb:if>

Hopefully this is of some use to someone, and maybe be implemented in the next release.

I am having issues trying to get this to display. I had this installed before and it worked fine, but I had to roll back my board a few days ago to before I installed this.

I've tried placing it manually and it won't display anywhere. Anyone have ideas?

Nope did not help. I did a clean install after I did my backup thinking that something could have errored in the first place.

The mod is working cause we were able to generate a poll post but nothing was in it because no one has been able to nominate.

Is this hack hard to get it to do "Yearly" vice monthly?

I'm ready to buy if it's a simple change.

Ski-Whiz

01-09-2013 12:40 AM

Never mind about the yearly post above. I didn't realize how it worked and see that would be really tough.

I do have one issue though. I created a nomination. I can see it being an Admin, but no one else can see it.

I checked the permissions on the current nominate, and the rotation areas, and they are set accordingly. I've selected just one usergroup, all of them etc..

I can't get the regular members to see the Vote button..

Is there something else I'm missing?

Ive checked and double checked and the file is in there.

OK!!! I finally messed around and got it deployed. the only problems not is the combined button covers my post thant. Where and how. We hardly ever use our blod so I wanted this area that would be if we took at the blog are. so I would be happy to remove that blog lick in the post-bit and replace it with vnominate

This could be the same problem, did you set the usergroup permission so the usergroup would be allowed to nominate? There's just one option for nominate when you edit the usergroup settings, it's called Can nominate

Is there a way to change your vote? Are there any in the plans?

It should be added, especially if you use the nominate method to determine the winner.

Currently you can't change your vote. I will put in a feature request on our site to make it admin selectable to allow users to vote for something new and replace their old vote.

Hello,

I seem to be experiencing the same issue as others aswell.
There are NO nominate buttons. I made sure that my usergroup can nominate though.
Any suggestions?

P.s - Good work on all the mods Dragonbyte made!

I wouldn't think of it any more than if you installed 10 mods from 10 different authors that drop something in the footer. That many of them are DBT mods tells people that you use and trust them enough to use that many of their mods.

I'm not arguing the footer entries can get out of hand, not at all. =) Just that you can't blame DBT for writing so many excellent mods that you want to use them all. =)

All I said was 2 or 3 links for one mod gets out of hand.. I don't mind one but these are just lite versions or trial versions. Give me a full version with the features and I would not mind exchanging free advertising. In a way we are paying for the lite versions. as I said, I dont mind doing so with a single link but all the added text and everything plus the links just really is a turn off especially on a site that is not related to development.

I still like the mods but for this purpose I wont use the "lite" ones and I doubt any client would be willing to pay for the mod plus a branding removal fee. Just my opinion though and as I said, great work.

That's great. I will have to check that out. Please do not misunderstand though what I meant. I really love the work and I really don't mind having a link. I do not expect you guys to do work for no credit, etc.

Anyhow, thanks so much for letting us know about that. Some of my clients may be interested.

Take care,

Guests shouldn't be able to nominate unless you set it in their usergroup settings. I don't know how well that would work though as it's coded around nominations being done by users with id's.

in file "forum/dbtech/vbnominate/hooks/forumhome_complete.php"

find:

Code:

if ($vbulletin->options['dbtech_vbnomnom_fh_enabled'])

replace:

Code:

if ($vbulletin->options['dbtech_vbnomnom_fh_enabled'] AND $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] != '1')

if you want to change location on forumhome in file "forum/dbtech/vbnominate/hooks/forumhome_complete.php"
at the bottom find:

Code:

                // Ensure we're always first in line

                $ad_location['ad_navbar_below'] = $ad_location['ad_navbar_below'] . $vbnomnom_info_panel;

        }

        else

        {

                // Ensure we're always first in line

                $ad_location['global_below_navbar'] = $ad_location['global_below_navbar'] . $vbnomnom_info_panel;

        }

I used one of template hooks... you can use own or create one or add new template location:

Code:

// Ensure we're always first in line

                $template_hook['forumhome_below_navbar'] = $template_hook['forumhome_below_navbar'] . $vbnomnom_info_panel;

        }

        else

        {

                // Ensure we're always first in line

                $template_hook['forumhome_below_navbar'] = $template_hook['forumhome_below_navbar'] . $vbnomnom_info_panel;

Well, I want to disable nomination for guests posts as there no use as I can't reward winning guests.. Some are deleted users and may have been nominated before deletion, so at result when poll created there is NO username!

I think this is need to be done here: "forum/dbtech/vbnominate/hooks/showthread_query.php" but I have not enough skills to do it myself :(

This is one of my favorite mods, but I can't seem to get it to work. Installation seems to go OK, but any attempts to use it spawns all sorts of db errors that show that my tables aren't being altered during the install process.

Thoughts?

What happens when a nomination ends or is won?

Does the user get a notification? Is a thread created? Etc. What happens when it finishes, besides being listed on the nominations page? Using Autoscore for example.

Hey, can someone tell me I have everything set up correctly in Rotation and Nominations.

But when my users try to nominate for Post of the WEek (I don't have threads, avatars etc set up, only Posts) a popup opens and says "Page Not Found"

Am I doing something wrong?

Here is screenshot I took.

The post I'm trying to nominate is an old post, I'm just testing it in my staff forum.

So a few hours after I made a "TESTING" rotation, a nomination poll came up in the designated nomination forum.

I did this around 4pm yesterday afternoon and it's 330am (for me) and it's now showing a poll.

But still when I try to nominate something (I only allowed nominations from Staff Forum), it says Page Not Found.

All times are GMT. The time now is 10:09 PM.
