I was simply following the model for most daily vB things; namely birthdays which work the same way...

Ahh very cleverly done ;)

Sweet hack Filburt1.

/me clicks install.

Hey, can anyone figure out how to allow mod's and supermod's (or any ther user group) to also select POTD's?

The suggestion earlier on this thread doesn't work it simply gives the added usergroup the "no permissions" page when selecting the POTD.

Thanks in advance for you time and effort.

bump...

I think it has something to do with the
in markaspotd.php

I think so too.

Replace that quoted code with this:

OK.... first things first I want to thank filburt1 for creating this hack.

And I certainly do not want to sound like I don't like the hack because I do. In fact its installed on my board as we speak.

However.....

For this to be a really great hack I think it needs some enhancements. Is anyone interested in fixing it up???

Here is what the hack needs in my opinion....

- A way to display in the postbit (for all to see) that the post was selected as a "Post of the Day" and who selected it. Maybe even a graphic with a trophy could be implemented. This designation needs to stay up unless the post is unselected as "post of the day". That way when you look through old threads you can see which ones were awarded "Post of the Day".

- A way to track all the posts of the day so later you could pick a "post of the month" or "Post of the year" etc.

- A way to display in the postbit how many "posts of the day" each user has been awarded.

- A easy way to allow other usergroups to select "Post of the Day" i.e.; super mods and mods etc.

Personally I think this hack could be one of the most useful hacks EVER created if it was enhanced.

Would anyone like to expand on this hack???
